Harry Wills’ victory over Luis Fir-
po the other night gives rise to the
belief thnt the negro will be the next
man to meet Jack Dempsey. heavy-
Mecnwhile fans will spend much
time discussing the negro's chances
with Dempsey.
'l'hcse few points are offered for
consideration in such discussion.
Wills could not knock out Fix-p0
although he was able to hit him at
will for twelve long rounds.
Dempsey annihilated Firpo
two rounds.
Dempsey met and defeated I. box-
er as clever as Wills but with the
kick .of a mule—g-Tomxny Glboons.
Which proved that, s shifty. scientific
boxer like Wills holds no terrors for
the champ.
‘ Ac far as the outcome of the Fir-
po-Wills fight is naicezned, it was
a terrible disappointment to all in-
terested fans. Wills gsined consider-
able prestige by checking Firpo's
bull rushes. His victory was cloud-
ed, howeiflr. by the fact that he vio- t
listed the rules flagrantly with 'his
holding. His effective, poncho: were
de-isered while he openly held l‘irpo
with the other hand.
The knockdown he scored on Fir-
po was a questionable one. Many t
critica said the blow was struck as
the men came out of n. clinch at the
referee's order.
’ As for Firpo. the defeat costs him'
considersble prestige. He is not
done. hawever. A decisive knock-
out victory over Jack Renault or
some other fair heavy place blind!)
demand again.
As for u the bout concerns
Dempsey's appearance it can be
stated without question that there is
no chance of him entering the ring
before next July Fourth. That is the
logical day of the year to hold a.
title bout. Labor Day is late. to-
ward the fog end of the outdoor sea-
