HARRY WILLS
|. IS WAITING
IN VAIN
Case Interests S. A. With
Chance He May APP
pear Here.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-R-Gath-
ering signs that Jack Dempsey will re-
turn to the ring next summer after
three years OF inactivity and defend
his title against the soldier boxer,
Gene Tunncy, are linked with the APP
parent shelving OF Harry Wills as an
opponent for the champion this year,
if not for all time.
This is the view of the fistic fra
tcrnity which has analysed the past
weeks conflicting developments in the
heavyweight situation. Fight fandom
apparently is convinced that Tunney
and Dempsey will clash next summer
probably in September, somewhere in
the Metropolitan district, before an
other million-dollar gate
This belief is held in spite Of the
Indignation Of the state athletic com
mission over even the suggestion that
I Tex Richard is negotiating for Tun-
ney- Dempsey match instead Of giving
the first title chance to Wills, the
patient ex-stevedore who has been
shuffled about in the pugilistic deck
for five years in his efforts to get into
the ring with the champion.
The commission is insistent that
Richard, since his business interests
center here and since Dempsey now is
4 on its ineligible list, cannot consider
staging a championship match in his
Jersey City arena, Boyle's Thirty
Acres, without incurring official dis
pleasure and possibly discipline. The
promoter, however, equally rs firmly,
has asserted his right to operate where
he pleases without interference.
In the minds of not n few observ-
ers, the whole situation SINNERS down
to a case of politics with New York
and New Jersey officials equally de
srous OF gaining the first heavyweight
plum" in three years, with its conse-
quent financial return to the state.
A Richards apparent move TO hold the
bout in Jersey is construed to be one
Of the preliminary gestures in a well.
laid plan which eventually will find
the match signed and delivered to
Manhattan, probably at the Yankee
Stadium.
So far as Wills is concerned the
same old considers and provides
hold.
Political considerations also have
combined TO prevent the possibility OF
mixed championship being staged in
either state, in spite Of Wills recog-
nizcd claims TO bout with Dempsey,
Unwittingly or not, it is pointed out.
Wills damaged his own case when he
refused 10 accept last August Rick
ards offer Of S150,000 for an elm
ination test with Tunney.
As n result Of this strategic move,
the "build-up' of Tunney as "log-
zeal contender" seems well rounded out
to those who have followed the rise Of
the ex-Marine to heavyweight prom
inencc within the past year.
