Dempsey as the logical place for his
bout with Harry Wills, the heavy
weight champion made known here to-
day. He said he was very favorably
impressed with the proposals made him
by Herman Taylor and Robert Gunnis,
Philadelphia promoters, with whom he
conferred today.
Tentative arrangements were made
for another conference. to be held in

Meanwhile Dempsey will confer with
Floyd Fitzsmmons, who holds a com
tract for a Dempsey-Wills bout to be
held some time in September. in an
effort to arrange an agreement be-
tween him and the Philadelphia pro-
motors. Taylor and Gunnis guaran-
teed no interference and said the state
athletic commission would back the
bout which would be held in an arena
seating 10000 persons.
The conference was held in the hotel
suite occupied by Dempsey and his
wife, the former Estelle Taylor, film
star. which was bedecked with flowers

versary, which they celebrated today.

eral proposition that the longest dis
lance which electricity can be trans
