There IL no possible chance foI
wills TO box Tunney this year or
next year for that matter until
the formers proposed bout with
Jack Dempsey Is definitely declared
off. Wills Ii bound by contract
with the champion not to box
again. He had DempAey's consent
to box that lameTltable thing with
Floyd johnson, but with that over
he must hang up his gloves.
It Is charged here and thers
that Godfrey is not eligible to fight
Tunney. But there are many who
dissent from this opinion. The
giant negro has fought some OF the
good ones while they were good, and
he is just the man who is likely
to make trouble for the best in
the game. Boxing fans were OF
the opinion that Godfrey was more
eligible to meet Tunney than the
latter was to meet Wills.
There is just this to the matter
Tunney IL within his rights In de-
clining to met Godfrey or any
other fighter. But he Is incOnsis-
to fie hit one negro and bar ali
others. Granting him all his pre-
negatives in the matter, he surely
Is playing the game safe.
