If he is willing to make a match I would like to have him set a time for a meeting at which we could sign articles of agreement. One clause of the agreement would set forth that the match would be promoted by the highest bidder. Purse Suits Wills. “I understand that Kearns thinks Brady's bid of $200,000 is too small, and if such is the case let us find out if there are other promoters willing to offer more than Brady. So far as Wills is concerned he will be willing to accept a reasonable amount for his services, and I hope Kearns will not demand a sum that no promoter will be willing to pay. “If Kearns will consént.to make the match I feel sure there will be re- liable men willing to promote it. At any rate, I am going to try tonight to find out exactly where Kearns stands in the matter.” Not for Rickard. Tex Rickard said last night that he would not make a bid for the bout because he did not regard it as a good proposition at the present time. In view of the fact that many promo- ters have complained that Rickard was getting all the cream of the box- ing business, it seems that the Demp- sey-Wills affair offers them a golden opportunity to distinguish them- selves, / SPEEDY ON BASES Manager Bill Killifer of Cubs, Says Team Will Be One of the Fastest in National League. Chicago, Feb. 3.—Willlam Killifer manager of the Cubs, said today that he expected to have one of the fastest base running clubs in the National league this season and when the club reaches the training camp in Catalina Islands the recruits and veterans will be given plenty of work in base run- ning and sliding.

Mec- Carthy was very wabbly when Ref« eree O'Connor stopped the contest in round and declared Gib- bons the winner. McCarthy would likely have lasted the round out for there were only ten seconds remain- ing when the referee put an end to the battle. It was so one sided that it was hard for the fans to get a good line on Gibbon's ability. For two rounds Gibbons went along at an easy stage, being content with mouth, nose and jaw with right and | shooting some. rights to the head In the third round Gibhons drove | McCarthy around the ring, landing right and left jabs to his face and jaw.
