TEX SAYS DEMPSEY
DIDN'T DODGE WILLS

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August o6.--Jack
Dempsey has never lodged Harry
Wills and would rather have
fought the negro challenger than
Gene Tunney, il the bout could
have been arranged. Tex Richard
today told the Associated Press.
"TO say that Dempsey fears
Wills is a joke" said the promoter.
"He considers him a clean-living,
estimable citizen, but a second.
rate fighter"
At tile same time the promoter,
i'm a detailed statement defending
the champions course. revealed
that his own efforts to stage a
Dempsey-Wills match were block
ed two years ago after he had gone
so far as to have the tickets for
tire fight printed.
Opposition on the part of the
State Athletic Commission then
was the barrier to the match, al.
though previously the boxing au-
thorities had approved it. New
Jersey put up similar ban and
Richard gave up all thought of
trying to hold the contest
"My experience with the JEFF
fries-JOhnson bout long ago con-
WINGED me that a Dempsey-Wtlls
match would not he a good thing
for boxing" said Richard. "As I
became better acquainted with the
game and talked with persons of
influence 7 saw no reason to
change by opinion"
Dempsey. however. Richard dis
closed, had repeatedly urged him
to obtain Wills instead of Tunney
for a title match. The promoter
exhibited a series Of kilograms to
prove this assertion.

when he does the customers can be-

Just now I'm not attempting any
exact prediction as to how long that
fight is going to last. But I'll make
the prophecy that it isn't to last very
long after Tunney hits my whiskers
and gets me little fretful. None of
my fights ever have lasted very long
after I was smacked-and this one
isn't going to be any exception.

cries. based on the idea of an abso-

the equilibrium figure of the globe

Calculations Differ.
when we come to calculate by
mathematical theory the amplitude OF
the polar motion. or the radius OF
he mean circle in the periodic cir
clllation of the Pole, we find from
the observations OF the past 35 years
that the mean amplitude IS 10 feet.
While my calculations. based on the
tides of the oceans, give 16.4 feet, .
said Prof. Lee. AS the observed
amplitude Of l6 feet is uncertain by
about a foot. my calculated amplitude
of 1914 feet perfectly accounts for
al the known motion of the Pole.
THE resulting complete eXplana
tion OF the polar motion, by the
tidal oscillations OF the oceans,
enables us to conclude that the rigid
ty or hardness Of the earth's nucleus
IS much greater than was calculated
by Lord Kelvin. Darwin, Newcomb
and :. S Hough, who found the
rigtdity about equal to that Of steel.
The present process. which sepa-
rates the effect due TO the mobility
OF the sea from any yielding that
might be imagined to occur in the
solid globe itself, furnishes us a
valuable criterion and enables Us to
conclude definitely that the rigidity
of the earth'S nucleus is about three
times that of ordinary steel, or at
least twice that of the hardest nickel
yanadium steel used in arnlor plate.
