Muldoon's attitude toward Wills eame as a surprise to boxing circles because of the commissioner's previ- ous insistence that the negro's chal- len which resuited in the signing of a tentative agreement with Demp- sey six months ago, be recognized. He pointed out, however, that no pro- moter had shown him & bona-fide pro- posal for a Wills-Dempsey match and that he would regard the negro's challenge as climinated from further consideration. No racial question, he emphasized, however, was involved in his decision. % Not Discouraged. Meanwhile neither Jess Willard, who has been in New York for sev-| eral weeks seeking to sign with Demp- | sey, nor Kearns appeared discouraged by obstacles set in the path of heavy- weight title matches this year. Kearns reiterated his desire for beuts with both Wills and Willard and | hinted that an effort might be made| to stage one or both at Tijuana, Mex- ico, just across the California border. If not successful in signing for a fight, he said, Dempsey might turn to mo- tion pictures for occupation. Willard, after resting for several days as a result of a mild case of grip, engaged this afternoon in a strenuous gymnasium workout. He announced he would go ahead with plans for a country-wide exhibition tour and possibly a match or two with other heavyweight contenders, in an effort to prove his fitness for a return bout with Dempsey. give TO COACH INDIANA ELEVEN William A.
