are shaping up satisfactorily"

i'm New York. II have been pulling
for Chicago all along because would
rather fight where there is no politi'
cal interference, but, at the same time,
l am disappointed that / can't fight
for the title In my own home town"
The only apparent cloud or the
horizon, was statement from B. r.
Clements, president of the Coliseum
Club, that he held a contract for
Dempsey to fight Harry Wills, negro
challenger, assigned to him by Floyd
Fitzsimmons, and he would take steps
to enforce it. He maintained the con-
tract was valid, but that was disputed
by both FitZsimmons and Dempsey,
who claimed that money making the
paper binding never had been paid.
Indications were that the Dempsey
Tunney match would meet with no OPP
position from the State boxing COM
mission.
Tunney will come west I'm two weeks
and establish a training camp in the
Wisconsin woods. Dempsey is expect.
ed here around August 1. and his
headquarters likely will be on the lake
shore, few miles north of Chicago.
Dempsey's last fight was against Luis
Firpo in New York, September IA,
1923.
The probable location Of the match
is Soldier Field, on the lake front; 1t
will be 10 rounds to q referees de-
