It had been apeeted that Daan MeKetriek, east érn representative of Dempsey and Kearns, would submit the ehampion's terms for the contest to Riekard, but evidently MeKetrick had not heard from Kearns, or if he had, preferred to keep the contents of the messag: seoret MeKetriek didannounce during the course of the aftarnoon, howe ser, that he had received a cable from George McDonald of FEngland oftering Dempsey $250,000 to comw there and meet Jog Neckett an June Should Dempsey accept the offer for that date it woyid compiete'y up- ret Rickard's plans for a Dempsey. Willard contest, us the Garden pro- moter favors & date late in June for| the beut Tom O'Rourke of the Republie A C., who a'so is dickering for a Wil. lard bout and is willing to mateh the Kansas glant against any first-class | heavyweight, gave out a lengthy state. ment regarding the status of the Wi 'urd situntion so far as he was con- nected with it. O'Rourke’'s statement in part fol. lows: Sdys e Wen't Change Offer “1 made the only legitimate offer len a pereantage hasty to Jess Willard, thinking at the time, as he has pro- fessed o0 often In the press, that he did not care so much what the re- muneration was, as his desire was to box Dempsey under any eircum- stances to convince the public that he did not receive a square deal at To- ledo. The offer I made to Willard was sure to amount to more than four times the amount Dempscy reccived at Toledo, if the recelpts reached the figures that Archer thought they would draw if Dempsey and Williard were to box. “I told Archer I stood upon my of- fer sent to Willard and that he could take it or leave it. Archer asked me if T would not-give Willard a, guar- antee of $50,000 with the same privi- lege of the percentage 1 had offered and I replied ‘no;’ that my offer ac- cording to his figures was four times more than Dempesey received. “Again T told Archer that if he wanted to have the bout to draw Wil- lard should challenge all the heavy- weights and if he whipped a first- class heavy the public would fall over each other to see him box Dempscy again. Archer replied that it would take 90 days to have Willard get ready to box any of these heavy- weights. Will Give Same Guarantee “I will give him the same guaran- tee he gave Dempsey at Toledo with privilege of percentage offered him, provided he challehges all heavy- | weights, and, should a desirable op- ponent that satisfies the public ‘refuse his challenge, T will, then entertain the Dempsey match. “This is provided that the state athletic commission does not insist upon Wills fichting Dempsey first, as they still hold Wills' money as a for- feit when they insisted upon these two men signing articles, and then brought Kearns before them and told him he could not have Dempsey fight Wills until after election. “Another thing this club will in- sist upon, if Willard eoncludes to box some: good heavyweight, T am willing (to promote both matches. as I will not promote the first mateh without | him signing both, the only condition being that he win the first mateh. We have the only outdoor elub that has » license in this city capable of handl- ing & big match.” Willard worked out in the Garden gymnasium and looked to be in good physical trim despite his superfluous weight.
