SELL FIGHT

Willard Thinks It Cinched and Dempsey Wants It Too Badly.

By FSJLKX O. MINKE. (STAFF CORRESPONDENT I N. SE8VICE1 TOLEW, O., June 21. Any sjjpieion that the 'Wiilard-E'emrsoy fracas is suing to be a "brother-in-law" affair shouM b difrplled at once. This fight will be decided strictly on its merits. Never was there a flstic clash where the possibility of a frame-up' m more remote. There has been logical erlanatlons by some for alleged "eook"Ps" in the past. But this Oght is different radically so. There is not enough money In the world to induce Jess to "lay down." He values the title more than all the tinsel that could he offered to him. And money doesn't mean an awful lot to him. any way. The champion Is worth around $350. noo or Sino.nnn now at the lowest estimate and his guarantee of $100,010 plus movie profits will shoot his wealth well beyond the half-million dollar mark. That's more than Willard could spend in two life-times. On the oher hand Willard hasn't enough money to buy a Dempsey laydown, even if he tried. And he certainly won't try because Jess is sublimely confident that he can whip Dempsey without an awful lot of trouble. But assumin.; that someone might want to "buy" Dempsey ajii Dempsey -was willinp to "sen." it's a pretty safe bet that $500.ono would be the lowest and no living man would pay half that sum to see Dempsey whipped a dozen times. If Jack Dempsey becomes heavyweight champion of the world on July 4. it is more than likely that he will rile up close to $1 nooono before he ts dethrong, provided that he holds the title the average length of time, which is something around five years. j Undoubted!. Dempsey, if- fie won

would spend many weeks in vaudeville immediately afterwards at perhaps a minimum of $1,500 a week. Then -he could take a fling in the movies which would welcome a champion of such heroic mold and of such great personal popularity as Dempsey. After that the young: man mierht take up a jump over . to Europe and pick up $50,000 to $75,000 fiphtingr Georges Carpentier. Bouts with some prominent, English heavies, followed by an engagement with the Music Halls of England should add $50,000. Then Dempsey could go to Australia, enrich himself $50,000 more.

TEAM TOMORROW

Tomorrow one of the fastest colored traveling teams will appear for the second time ar Indiana Harbor. They won oer the local club at their last appearance. The "All Americans" hav a 'very good record tins year, having rlayed w-elve games and last one. But tomorrow they 'are going to have a stiff battle when they put. their foot on the Harbor Tark. Everyone is in good shape and the

'manager states that Young. Oalik and Mcars look good to him. and should the

MMtors use up these three pitchers they are well entitled to the bacon. Fairly good crowds have been witnessing t?e games this season and a much larger crowd is expected tomorrow as the colored folks are much interested n their side of the story. This will be tha last game at home for a few weeks as the Harbor boys have accepted a coupl? ef invitations to perform in towns in Southern Indiana. Next Sunday, June C9. they will go i Laporte. Ind.. where they are scheduled to play th" leading team of. that cit. The Harbor club has one game to its credit from Laporte, the score being I to 0. and it looks like the Implement are looking for revenge. They sure will have to fight for it for the last time th Harbor club visited them they played an air-tight game: Young pitching i no-run. one-hit game. A large crowd is expected to travel with the Harbor club a week from tomorrow. More information will be givea out next week. The game tomorrow will be called at 3 p. m. at Harbor pa,rk. 143rd and Euclid ave.
