Thus an end is put to the con- fusion which has surrounded this match as far as New York is con- cu'ued. The light is definitely bur~ red in New York because oi the insistence of Chairman James A. lv‘uricy of the commission that Harry Wills negro challenger. is en- ililcd to prcioi‘encc'ever Tunney. l‘lickard must now go elsewhere. He declared iii no uncertain terms yesterday that he would yet sings a light between Dempsey and Tunney, because he has the men under con- tract und would not violate his word to Dempsey and Tunney. and be- cause he is more than ever con- vinced that the public wants a bat- tio between these two. .
