Wills IS READY
FOR CHAMP
ANY I NNE
Harry, However, Hasn't
Heard That Manager Had
Signed Dotted Lipe

PARIS, July Recommending on
reports that Jack Dempsey had
signed to meet him in champion
ship match next year, Harry Wills,
colored challenger, told Interna-
tional News Service today:
i've heard nothing about the
matter from my manager. Paddy
Mullins, in New York. If it is
true, I'm ready to meet Dempsey
any time, any place and under any
conditions. But side-stepping is
Dempsey's favorite pastime.
I'm leaving Saturday morning
for Carlsbad where my wife will
take the cure. After that, my
plans are undecided. I'll just wait
until / hear more about Dempsey
from my manager and will hold
myself in readiness, for the next
move"

OPPORTUNITY
To RECOVER
Barracks MiddIeWeight Will
Try to Win His Way Back
- to Stardom

Jack Turner wants to fight his
way back to a headline position in
the boxing ranks of Washington.
frankie Mann will give the soldier
an opportunitys> The matchmaker
has arranged a bout for him on

He will meet Sailor Hendricks, a
rough boy from the Navyl Yard.
This will be the semi-windup. In
the main attraction, Paddy Nc.
Nulty, featherweight champion of
the United States navy, will battle
Al Foreman, real hitter. The
Fort Myer soldier has won nearly
all of his bouts in Washington rings
by knockouts. He is said to pack
the punch of a weIterweight.
The show will mark the RETURN
of boxing to Fort Myer after a
halt Of many months. Matchmaker
Mann has attempted to bring to-
gether boxers capable Of making ii
an evenlful evening.
Bill Cody and Billy Harris will
clash in a six-rounder. Harris
represents Camp Holabird and Cody
is a Fort Myer boy. = 1t is natural
grudge fight, considering the
rivalry that long has existed be-
tween Myer and Holabird in the
fistic game. Both battlers weigh
$50 pounds.
Billy Edwards and Jean Reuse
will meet in another six-rounder.
They are 15S-pounders. The card
will open with a four-round match
between Joe Rivers, Of Washington
Barracks, and Gordon Staples, Of
Fort Myer. They are lightweights.
Colonel Ericsson will referee the
main event and Kid Sullivan will
handle the preliminaries.

PACE TO BEAT
CHANNEL
Miss EderIe swims Too Fast,
Is Opinion Of
Trainer.
BY HARKY FLORY.

=
BRIGHTON, Eng, July H.
Gertrude Ederle, eighteen-year-old
American swimming star, renewed
her training efforts today, deter.
mined to accomplish what no wom-
all has done and what baffled
plucky Lillian Harrison yesterday
N-the channel swim.
Miss Harrison, who came from
Buenos Aires to make the attempt,
gave out when but eight miles from
Dover. The cold water Slapped her
strength, in her eight-hour struggle
after starting from Cape GriS-Nez,
France.
Miss Ederle will have double
fight on her hands, according 20 Old
channel swimmers. She must con-
quer not only the cold waters and
cruel cross-tides Of. the channel, but
her own tendency to swim too fast.
1--WE must break down her pace, >
said Jacob Wolfe, veteran swim
ming champion who is training the
eight strokes to the minute and we
must reduce it to twenty-four.
"She probably would keep her
present speed for eight hours, but
it would be physically impossible
to keep it up much longer. 1t was
the slow stroke of Charles 10th
that made him victor over the chan
nel.
otherwise, Miss Ederle Is one Of
the finest swimmers in the world
man or woman. Given good tides
and warm water and she will make
brave showing"
Miss Ederle believes that the only
training she requires is actual
swimming.
II live e perfectly normal life in
every way" she said today. II
have no special diet and eat and
drink the same things as other
people"
