CONTENDERS OLDER Gibbons and Wills and Renault are all older than Dempsey, and tt is probable that none of them would hold title as long as Dempsey. his me should all be Busts. Gibbons doesn't figure on fighting more than two or three years more and Wills could not last that long if he wanted to. His hands have gone to pieces and he never can have them fixed. Some good jpte on broken hands have been done by Dr. W. FB. Fra- lick, but the hands of the negro contender, were ruined beyond re. pair before he started to work on them. Unless he changed his habits, the championship would ruin Jack mault, if he did win it. The little prosperity that has come to him already went to his fiend and he started watch- ing the sun come up over the Roaring Forties. He made sev- eral bad fights recently and has been avoiding offers with even poor second-raters. Some youngster is coming along to take the place of Wills, Renault and Gibbons and will eventually be- come the heavyweight champion Maybe it will be Slattery. He cer. tainly looks like the pick of the bunch at this time.
