Wills Now Willing
To Box Jack Johnson
Harry Wills has taken it for
granted now that he is a long way
olf from a bout for the world‘s
hem) weigthhampionehip and he
is negotiating with Remark pro-
moters for a bout in the near
future. A little while ago the
one thought in the Wills camp
was a chance at the heavyweight
title.
Wills has e
reared a willing-
ness to meet ck Johnson. for-
mer henyweight champion. at
Dreamland Park before the out-
door season is such that bouts
cannot be held.
The promoters are understood
to be making an ettra effort to
have Comptroller Newton A. K.
Bughee. who is in control of has-
lng affairs in New Jersey; to agree
to lift the ban on Johnson for
this bout at least. because there
would be no race prejudices. ss
both men are colored. it is pos-
slhle the suspension may be lifted
at that. because Chief Inspector
l‘lstt Adams long ago told the
Broad A. C. officials that there
would be no objection to Johns-on
lighting in New Jersey. On the
strength of that the club paid the
former champion 31.000 for an
option on his eerficcs. Johnson
has \oluntarily agreed to extend
the. option while the effort is le-
ing made to have him meet Wills
in that bout.

Willie Goodman. arrested Friday

NEW YORK. Sept» 18.—While
Dempsey and Firpo appear to have
no regrets over the fight perhaps
the happiest individual concerned in
the whole affair is Tex Rickard. the
man who was responsible for it all.
The premier promoter of the world
is like a child with a new toy as he
sits in the Garden and contemplates
the match from every angle. Not
that Rickard in glowing only over
the tidy piece of change he will
pocket after all expenses are paid.
but Tex takes a. personal pride in
every one of his undertakings and
he regards Friday night's memorable
battle as the crowning achievement
of his remarkable successful career.
"My entire reputation was at stake
in this light." said the promoter as
he sat in the little office off the en-
“1 was ridden

a boxer,of Dempsey's caliber. But
Tny Judgment «as vindicated after
all. for the title missed changing
hands by the unaliest margin. 1 am
proud of Luis and have only the
highest admiration for him. He came
through in a miraculous manner and
has swung his severest critics over
to his side and today is regarded as
the only man in the country who
can be figured to have any kind of
a chance with the champion. A year
from now Firpo will be an even bet
to win when he crawls through the
ropes and venture to say that the
people who panned him the hardest
Will be picking him to ‘win if he and
the champion ever get togdher

"Personally I would be willing to

near future. What. little confusion
there was the other night due to the
fact that the ball parks are not built
in the proper manner to be cpnssd-
ered ideal fight arenas. in the his;
Lea-l over in Jersey City, each ere-
tion has its own entrance. When a
man is in the 35 seats he has to stay
there and cannot more can into the
higher priced seats. as is the case at
the ball parks.

to all concerned. .

The work of ascertaining the ar-t-'
where the tickets and records of the
fight were located. No work was
done yesterday. but. the count will
be resumed today and by the middle
of the week the official figures should
be ready.
According to Rickard. about 90.-
000 persons saw the fight. This in-
eludes police. firemen. newspaper
men. officials and also the 7.000 or
8.000 who crashed the gate when a
partition was knocked down. The
receipts are estimated at about 81.-
200, 000. of which Dempsey received
about 8475. 000 and Firpo 8100. 000.
The boxers will be paid of: officially
today. although the money was plac-
ed in the bank. pending the fight. to
the credit of each last week.
Dempsey and Firpo have been liv-
ing a. life of case. since they both
added greatly to their reputations.
The only trouble now is avoiding the
huge crowds that momentarily tie
up traffic wherever the fighters ap-
pear. The champion intends to lin-
ger in New York for.a week or so
and then journey to Salt Lake City
to visit his family. Firpo intends to
take a short trip through Canada;
and then. if the present plans are
carried out. sail for the Argentine
in order to avoid the cold winter
weather. The “'ild Bull will train
until spring in the warm climie of
his homeland and then return 00 the
United States. when he hopes to
show a knowledge of ring tactics
which he admits himself he
familiar with Just at present.
