But with the calm persistency that enabled him to lure Willard from re- tirement, Rickard will now bend his energies to surmounting the last ob- stacle. The promoter will start away turday to look over the fleld, and by the time he returns he thinks he will have some news on the subject. Queried yesterday as to whether any of the propositions regardinz a site for the big figsht appealed to him, the promoter replied: ‘There have been several sugges- tions made to me that look good. I can’t say anything as yet for publi- tion, as it might interfere with the’ plans of all concerned. T don't expect to have any trouble in finding a place for the bout, but I certainly will not innounce a selection until the various boxing bills in a number of states have heen disposed of one way or another. Tt may be that boxing will be lezalized in state, with a decision, and a sufficient number of rounds to warrant® the pitching of the ring there. How- over, I am not at all worried over the question of a place in which to stage the fight. That the least of my troubles. Defends Willard’s Action heard that Willard's war record might detract from the public interest in the bout, but I fail to see why such should be the case. While, Willard did not go to the front, the same is true of other boxers. I am having compiled statement showing the amount of money earned by Willard for patriotic objects in comparison with that of other boxers who did not go to the tremches. 1 think it 1 prove a surprise to tha | public. While Willard did not box so often as others, he drew more money o each of his exhibitions “Another thing T heard is that Willard has a disagreeable personality ind that people will not go to see him box. I am not paying Willard $100,000 { for sweetness of disposition, I am iving him the money on the supposi- tion that he can fight in the ring. By the same token 1 am not giving Demp- sey $27,500 on the strength of his rep- ion as a Beau Brummel or a soctal but because of the indica- tions 1 s given of being a worthy contender for the heavyweight cham- ip of the world :ly a Fighting Proposition. contest not to be one be- tween drawing room favorites, but be- two men, and history he that fighting men are for docility or sweetness of The Huns who bumped the doughhoyvs will testify to some is ‘I have many a ave u butterfly, is cen cords noted temper. against fact championship hoxing matches arranged on the basis of T fear that John L. mmons, Jim JefS and many others red from the com- not S had mild Sull been deportment an, Bob Fitz Tom ey would have been ba petition “Willard and Dempsey are, T com - mon consent, the heavywelght fighters in the world and if the public not care to see them in action, then it will be a new arture on of the public fries, har 1blest does part NUNAMAKER IS TRADED.
