CHICAGO. March lN.--With jack
Dempsey and Floyd FitZsimmons both
talking confidently Of a. pempsey
Wills fight in Chicago on Labor day
of this year, people IN re. are com
mencing to be concerned.
There are indications that the voters
will favor return of boxing at The
April primary. despite vigorous op
position. Once fighting is returned.
it is considered not improbable that
promoters might stage champion
ship heavyweight encounter locally
with Willis as IL contender.
Those backing the proposed bout
are planning TO build a huge arena
on the South Side. just on the edge
of the Chicago black belt. They. figure
that they could draw eavily from
the big negro population TO build UP
record-breaking attendance,
The possibilities for race trouble
growing out of any such fight as that
between Dempsey and Wills doesn 1
seem to have impressed itself upon
the promoters, but it already has the
police concerned.
! The dangerous character of the
location doubtless would make any
/ boxing commission think twice before
sanctiOning fight between a white
man and negro in a district where
even under normal conditions there
is an ever-present' possibility OF
| trouble
Should Chicago vote for fighting in
| April and decide TO set up a boxing
! commission, one of it's first big de
cisions probably would revolve about
the location of any Dempsey Wills
| bout.
