GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editer) New York, July 11—(P)—It is a peculiar twist of sports fortune that within eight days, this week and next, the ring will witness come- back fights by the two men who less than a year ago sfood around the heavyweight peak, one the champion and the other considered a leading menace, even if sidetracked. It would have taken the seventh gon of a seventh son to have had the boldness to predict in the’ summer of 1926 t these two, Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, would fall from their positions within a fortnight of each other, as they‘‘did, and in an- age.

The monoply of heavyweights of the fistic limelight this year has put its usual jinx on the ambitions of the smaller fellows to figure in title bouts, or, rather, it has dampened the enthusiasm of promoters for championship fights which would be obscured by the focus of interest and attention of Dempsey, Tunney, et al. In| the metropolitan sector only the Dundee-Latzo welterweight battle has enlivened the smallér divisions and it was far from a financial suc- cess. Even the proposed Delaney- McTigue light heavyweight title tus- sle, ordinarily an outdoor natural, has failed to arouse the expected in- terest. It has month until August 11. A similar situation existed in 1923, the last big boom year among the heavyweights, when Luis Firpo was making his spectacular advance to a fight with Dempsey.
