Kearns Wants Ea: WILLARD MIGHT HAVE BEEN POPULAR CHAMP IF HE HAD. PASSED. UP CIRCUS New Heavyweight King Prefers to Fight But, sy Money in Sight BY FRED TURBYVILLE N. E. A. Sports Writer Jack Johnson was a great fighter and he won the title of heavyweight king by the most honorable methods. He held the title a long time and might have held it even longer had he behaved himself. His misbehavior got him in bad with the boxing fans of America who sought and prayed for:a white man who could knock; him off his pedestal and restore the honors to the white race. Many were called but only one was chosen, That one was Jess Willard. He did the trick and it stood to rea- son that he would be the idol of the American race for many years to come. It was his opportunity—an op- portunity greater than any other ‘American fighter ever heard knock- ing on his door. Did he open the door and let op- portunity in? He did not. He remained in a shell, Four years elapsed from the time he won the title until he lost it. Once in that time he fought ten rounds. He spent the rest of his time in a circus. He refused to con- sider any heavyweights worthy of a match, The boxing fans soured on him and many of them wanted him whipped. Then came young Jack Dempsey and the fan majority turned to him as the one who would overthrow Wil- lard and put the title in the hands of a man who would fight. Well, Willard was overthrown. and J. Dempsey has the title. What’s he going to do with it? Right now it looks very much as if Jack Kearns and Jack Dempsey were going to use that title as Wil- lard used his. It looks as if Kearns and Dempsey were going to crawl in-| to a shell, shutting out the sporting public and rely on the stage, movies or circus to bring them in a fortune. Perhaps it is a little early to pass judgment on Jack Dempsey, but from the many statements issued by his manager it appears that it is the in- tent and purpose of the “two Jacks” to stay away from the ring while the pickings are so good. elsewhere. It is reported that European pro- thoters offered $100,000 or $125,000 to Dempsey to meet the winner of the Carpenter-Beckett mill, Sept. 2. It is reported that Mrs, Snow Baker, wife of the famous Australian promoter, saw Dempsey in Los Angeles and of- fered him $100,000 to come there. Pittsburgh wanted him for a matth ww SMOKERS CAN HANG'EMON | THEIR PIPES. % WHY NOT HIRE A PORTER FOR NOUR GLASSES ? JUST A HINT FOR BUSY BUSINESS MEN! IT NATURE Has PROVIDED Sone JOE us Wind SUITABLE RE ‘| How did Bismarck’s spiked with, Harry-Greb.. Pocatello , (Idaho) sportsmen have been trying to talk business with him. There are heavies.and light heavies seeking a match. Some of them are fair material. Some of them have bet- ter ‘records than Willard had when he stepped into the ring with Johnson at Havana. Jack Kearns, manager of the cham- pion, is reported to have said to a friend in Los Angeles: “From now on we will devote all we can get the biggest money ever offered a boxer.’’ He said Jack is ready to meet any and all legitimate challengers “but right now there is no one who can hold a candle to Dempsey.” Maybe he’s right. But some of them have fair records and if the boxing fans want to see Dempsey fight and can scrape up an opponent and suf- ficient money his place is in the ring and not on the stage, in front of a moving picture camera or in the saw- dust ring where Willard left his stamina. It is our firm opinion the new champion would prefer to fight and stay away from the footlights, but with Kearns it is a different matter. He wants the money.. 4 : It is to be hoped that the new army and navy and civilian board of boxing control will make it one of its bits of business to force cham- pions to defend their titles. It is to be hoped that Jack “Dempsey will not have to be forced into the ring. But when they become champions they change.
