Rickard thinks that he may be able to provide,seating room for 100, 000 spectators and he feels that the receipts are certain to be in exevss of $1,000,000. While no figures were made public by Rickard, it Is understood that Wills accepted terms for a guarantes of $200,000, or an option on accept: ing a percentage of the receipts, Dempsey, no doubt, will insist upon bring him more than $500,000. ‘The talk that Dempsey might balk |through fear of the colored challen- ger is all bunk. The champion has allowed the opinion to circulate that he was afrald of Wills for the pur: pose of steaming up the fight. As a matter of fact, the fight needs little steam, Wills is the outstanding chal- longer for tho title, if for no other reason than that Dempsey never beaten him, while the other cha | sors have shown that they cannot defeat him. Dempsey ought to win from Wills Jand ho should have no more trouble than he had with Firpo. It is quite certain that he can't come closer to losing tho title against Wills than he did when he was fighting Firpo and leave the ring the champion. Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, said this morning that his fighter was now training and that he was in fino physical condition, Ho needs couple of fights to get him on edge, however, and he will get one ayorkout on May 12 when 1 moois Bartley Madden at the Queons- borough elub, He has another chance to get a good workout against Quint. ban optlop of a porcontage if it should Romer, » 1. | Nest WAT BABY IS SO TIGHT IT WOULD PINCH HIM TBREAK A FIVE CENT -_.
