NEW YORK, Jan. 11,—It seemed probable today that Jack Dempsey would defend his world’s heavyweigl¥: box- ing title for the second time against Tom Gibbons of St. ‘Paul in a bout in the Metropolitan section in May or June. Everyone concerned has agreed to the fight except Jack Kearns, Dempsey’a manager, and he gave indica- SPIKE RUMORS osed by Tex Rickard would be satis- factory to him. Kearns departed for a short stay at Hot Springs, Arkan- Pfann Will Stay With Ithaca Eleven for gan, and said he would give his de- finite answer when he returned. There is much specylation among the experts over Gibbong’ chancea. As the only man to have remained the limit with the champion, He is accorded a fair chance by many if the Lout ts held here where an of- ficial decision would-be given, but if staged in New Jersey, where de- clsions are illegal, his chances would aid Rickard knew what his financial demands were and thet if he met them the bout would be held, so judging from past. utter. ances, Dempsey’s share will be $300.- 000. Gibbons got virtually no money out of the previous bout held at Shel- by, Montana, which was a financial fiasco sad brought ruin to some of {ts promoters.

Dempsey, avill not defend his title more than two times because the purses that he wou'd receive in three big fights would put him ir a clasa in the income tax law where he would have to turn over to the sovernment practically all of purse of his third fight. It -was this Uttle tax difficulty that forced Dempsey to call off the year’s activity last year after the Firpo fight. Dempsey will make a choice of , Wills or Gibbons when he selects the victim for his 1924 cam- paign. 4 Gibbons probably will be left out of consideration, because promoters feel that he would not draw as well as Firpo or Wills, and because Dempsey js not anxious to have any | more of the St. Paul fighter. Gibbons lacks only weight and size to make him a real contender for the heavyweight championship, and while Dempsey probably would defeat him if they met again, there is no assurance that the champion would win by a knockout. Dempsey cannot fight ap well against a smaller and faster man, and he/| would gain no prestige, because Gibbons would stand him off for} more rounds than Dempeey likes to gO. Dempsey will stop Firpo if they meet again, because the champion never will be enough of a sap to the South American last summer. As far ag the priority right to a hance at the title is concerned, Harry Wills is the outstanding con- tender and deserves the first crack at Dempsey this year. Wis bigger than any of the contenders but he has never had a chance, defeated by the champion. Many smart boxing men believe! that the colored challenger would be a cinch for Dempsey and would be easier than Firpo or Gibbons, but the fact remains that this should be proved by a fight, as the only way it can be proven.
