with q staff of sparring partners,
Harry Wills expressed no great OPP

Wills did and if some time or other

Dempsey and Wills will have to come
forward and complete the $25, 900
rssTacnt which wins s to receive Z e by
virtue of this contract.
Some say that Mullins, Harry
manager received $4,000 of this sum
whcn ne affixed his name to the
agreement Others say not. Mullins
has never said anything. Anyway. it
is certain that a considerable amount
Of cash is still due the firm of Mul-

they will not. Such being the case the
