GLOWING PROSPECTS FOR CHAMP TO FATTEN ROLL Firpo, Wills and Gibbons Now Form Contender Class and Jack's Manager Sees Fortune Smiling. By HENRY FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, July 14.—Since Jess Willard was knocked out of the list of candidates for the heavyweight championship. Jack Dempsey has only three prospects .for increasing the family fortunes, Louis Firpo, eonquerer of Jess Willard; Harry Wills, the colored stevedore, and Tommy Gibbons, are potential matches for the next championship fight.

Firpo probably will come first, if Manager Jack Kearns has his way about it. The South American is “fresh” and all built up now. His victory over Willard made a card for a championship match and he already has agreed to fight Dempsey for Tex Rickard. “Carry” Harry Along. Wills will remain a good card for another year, at least. As long as Dempsey Allows it to be believed that he fears the big colored fighter Wills will become a better card as time goes. Kearns wants a shot at both of them and it remains now for him to decide in what order he should take big money matches. Firpo is talking about a fight with Wills before he meets Dempsey. The South American champion very obviously wants to get alt the big purses he can before he runs the risk of being bumped off by the champion. Kearns, however, is not in favor of a Firpo-Wills match, as it would remove one of the “cards" that is all ready for Dempsey. Promoters Are Active The announcement that Dempsey wants some kind of a fight on Labor day has stirred all the New York promoters into great activity. The “sugar millionaires" of Cuba, who boomed up the Dempsey-Carpen-tier fight, are also announcing huge offers for the next championship bout. Tex Rickard. Tom O’Rourke. Jimmy Johnson and Simon Flaherty are waiting to hear what Kearns wants In the way of a purse. The situation is very complicated, a3 Rickard has
