NEW YORK, March 12—Unless Political conditions, they pertain to and influence professional boxing, undergo a change in another year, Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills nev- er will meet for the heavyweight championship. It is known positively, regardless of much conversation to the contrary that Dempsey and Wills cannot fight this year, and it is doubtful if a bout between them will be permitted next year. If they have not met at the end of 1925 they ne will meet, because Wills, old now and Past his best days, will be too far gone then. ¥ Xamitting that there may be some reasons for the outcry that is raised by race alarmists ¢' time. a Dempsey-Wills bout is mentioned, eten prospectively, it will be regret- ted if Wills has to hang up his By JOHN B.

While his condition has shown improvement, his physicians refused to consent to t this tim gloves without getting a chance at the title. ‘Wills, just because he had a fair claim to a crack at the championship should have been given an oppor- tunity to at least find out he wasn't good enough to be the champion. Perhaps he would have won the title if he had been able to get a fight with Dempsey three years ago. He might have had a chance then, because he was younger and better up on his game. The chance that he bas to beat Dempsey now is very small, and in another year it will be virtually no chance at all. While it is generally admitted that Wills bas a right to try for the championship, there isn't a single good reason to believe that he can beat Dempsey. On the contrary, there are many reasons to take Dempsey’s word that he would knock Wills out in three rounds.
