10 PROMOTERS NOT RUSHING TO STAGE MIXED HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT Dempsey-Vills Articles Apparently Not Worth Paper They a Failure to Set Time Limit for Acceptance of Bids Nulli- fies Agreement. By Ed Van Every. HE agreement entered into Tues- I day last between the managers of Jack Dempsey and Harry Willis is apparently not worth the paper it was written on. No bids of any consequence lave yet been aimed in the direction of the Kearns office. Kearns has left town and they don't know how soon he will return or when the reckless bidding for the big bont will start. It appears at the Kearns office that they are waiting to hear from Tex Rickard Tex Rickard figures on promoting the much-discussed bout on June 30, The chances are ‘Tex Rickard knows what he is figuring on. He has gone on record that he will positively not consider staging the fight until the Saturday previous to next Inde- pendence Day. “Rickard is ready to handle the Dempsey-Wills match," said Ike Dor- gan yesterday, speaking for the noted promoter, who was over on the Jersey side for a permit for the Leon- ard-Tendler bout, “providing he '8 permitted to bring the men together on the date he deems best. It will be impossible for Mr. Rickard to do any- thing with the match before next year." According to the agreement signed by Kearns and Wills, the contest must be held within sixty days of the ac- ceptance of the suecessful bid. If this agreement means anything, how will !t he possible to bring the men together within sixty ¢ays after the accept- ance of a satisfactory bid unless a bid from Rickard is ienored, or sald Rick- ard bid is not accepted until around May 1 of next vear? We explained this point to Mr. Dor- gon. “Does this mean that Rickard will not put in a bid for the Dempsey- Wins match until May, 19227 we asked. ; “Not necessarily," was Dorgan's reply. “Do you expect that Rickard will put in his hid before next May?” was the next question, “Most likely,"* was the reply. “How can Rickard bid for the match this year and not hold {t until June 80, necording to the agreement drawn up by Kearns?” Dorran could not explain this one, Dut he thought something miht de- velop that could not be gone into just yet. We then took our problem up to the Boxing Commission, The New York State Athletic Com- THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1922, GOLF IS A FUNNY GAME - - - - Copyright, 1922 (The New York Evening World), by Press Publishing Company.

Mr. Buchell conceded \t would, MMe could not figure out just how it would be possible for Tex Rickard to stage the Wills-Dempsey match on June 49, 1928, and live up to the agreement en- tered by Kearns and Mullins, much less answer just how they could abide by the mandates of the commission, “Possibly Kearns has some proposi- tion under cover that does not depend on a bid from Tex Rickard," hazarded Buchel.

In tie bottom brackets, Johnson pulled out fa close match against Niles, by a score of 4—6, 6—4, 6—1, the latter tiring badly toward the last. Miss Wills went into the final by a brave victory over Mrs. Frank H. God frey of Longwood, by # score of 4—6 6—2, 6—1. In the first half of thi match Mrs. Godfrey was playing splen didly, driving and volleying with bot speed and accuracy. Then she bega to tire and Miss Willa, never losin her nerve, started to forge ahead an began hitting the ball with more con idence and effect. Miss Bancroft made a run awa iffair of her match with Miss Marth Bayard, winning at 6—0, 6—3 as sh drew with viclous pace and unfailin control, and followed in behind exceller ing a match between these men is concerned?” was the next question. “Without any stipulated time limit for the closing of bids, you can figure it out yourself,” was the significant answer. While Secretary Burchell would not commit himself, the writer gathered the impression that Kearns will be given a reasonable period in which to show genuine intent of having Jack Dempsey take a chance in the ring with Harry Wills, If it is merely a case of stalling for time on the part of Kearns, the New York State Ath- letic Commission will take the most stringent action within its power. . More than likely the Boxing Com- mission will be compelled to declare the heavyweight title vacated In New York State, as in the cases of Wilson and Kilbane. In the meanwhile Paddy Mullins who has been trying his best to get Wills into the ring with Dempsey as soon as possible, may be forced into a match with ‘Tut’? Jackson, who figures as a dangerous heavyweight. Mullins said last night he had done nothing in the matter of a bout with Jackson. “Dempsey is the man we want to meet.” Sam J.
