Gene Tunney, winner of Jack Demp

pressed satisfaction today when in
formed that Dempsey was ready to
meet all comers.
Its the best news I have heard" !"
said the champion. ST am very
glad of it. 1 have always felt that
Tex Richards plan for an elimina- :
ticn series would bring to the front
the logical contender, and the man
best fitted TO fight me for the title
1 have felt that the trial series
would be Incomplete without Demp-
sey, and this word means he is will
ing to take his chances with the
others.
Il would have been glad to have
given Dempsey another first chance
at the title, as so manyA of his
friends believe he was not fit last
Sept ptember. At the same time, I
have been so thoroughly in accord
with Richards ideas that I felt my.
self bound to fight whomever he
might select
"Now that Dempsey has decided
to take part, there will be no uues-
ton when the trials are over as to
