Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. 49,
OFF he is still worlds heavy
weight champion after his fight with
Gene Tunney in Philadelphia Sept.
20. Jack Dempsey is willing to meet
Harry Wills any time before Jan.
and anywhere in the United States
or Mexico except New York state.
Dempsey today reiterated his desire
to fight Wills and also his deter
minatiop never again to fight in New
York after the Dempsey Tunney
bout difficulties.
II will never again defend my title
in New York state" he declared.
"My attorney tells me / could easily
win in court and force the commits
sion to give me a license. but If the
Farley Phelan Wear combination
does not want me, / surely will not
intrude."
Dempsey then described various
motions" for a Wills bout, which
always fell through because the
would-be promoters did not post the
necessary funds. He continued:
Finally Richard came along and
offered me a match. He will tell you
wanted Wills, not Tunney. But
Richard induced me to leave the
udIlluS OIL my OppOleHl 10 liil. 1
did so, and he named Tunney as the
logical man. l will keep faith with
Richard and we will fight it out IN
Philadelphia and when that Is over
l will give some attention to Mr..
Harry Wills and his manager, Pad
dy Mullins.
Those who have tried to promote
the Wills match have realized that
every possible wire in opposition to
it is being pulleG by every reformer
and publicity seeker in the country
But that bout will take place if
am still the champion after the
Tunney match. ! refuse longer to
remain silent and be the goat. / will
fight Wills or will know the reason
why. | want everyone that is inter-
ested to know that am open for bids
for Wills bout to take place not
later than Jan. /, 1927, anywhere in
the United States or Mexico except
the State of New York. If we cannot
stage this fight in the United States
then we will take it to Tiajuana."
Dempsey then said that Gene Nor.
mile, his manager, yesterday, depos-
tied s150000 with Thomas j. Shaw
in New York, with the request thai
Wills and Mullins deposit a like sum
to assure a Dempsey Wills bout
winner take all. and money to be re-
turned if Tunney beats Dempsey.

The race war at New York is all
over and Tiger Flowers is still the
king of all the middlewAights in the
world. Flowers during his reign has
, followed the example set by Paul Ber-
lenbach and has fought every time
the occasion presented itself. The ne
gro has great following in this coun-
try. especially in Boston. where some
of his most important fights took place
while he was preparing for his title
campaign.
The passing of Greb, however, will
cause some regret The Pittsburgher,
who defended his title on an average
of three times a month during his
career, was very popular in his home
town and In New York. Greb fought
his best last night and probably fought
better fight than he ever will fight
again. Greb has fought several hun
bred battles and his record has been a
credit to the boxing game.
Paddy Mullins has got to have a lot
of faith in his fighter. Harry Wills. to
accept the offer now being broadcast
by Jack Dempsey. The present heavy
weight champion has issued a state
ment saying that if he trims Gene
Tunney he wants to fight Harry Wills
before the end of this year and fight
on winner take all basis. He has
put up $150,000 for this fight and if
Mullins takes his offer it will show
better than anything that his persist
ent offers were made in the best of
faith.
Despite the fact that Dempsey is
none too popular, it is doubtful If
Harry Wills can grab the big end of
the purse against Dempsey. Wills
hasn't grown any younger since he be-
gan challenging the champion five
years ago and the hands which are
generally conceded to be brittle aren't
gaining any force with the passing
years. Although bout between the
Black Panther and the champion
would probably result in a win for the
latter, it Is probable that the bout
would attract one of the largest
crowds in history.
