S'K'j.t"'- "-Ihdeedv so eager1 has the i public been to support boxing that time and again the poorest sort of matches have yield ed rich receipts to -the promoters and principals. The- flavor of any year of boxing is imparted to a great degree by the char acter and quality of heavyweight bouts. A rattling battle for "the -heavyweight title is always a tonic Influence- that la reflected not only throughout all -the pugQlstlc divisions, but. in a general in terest in tha sport which is shared by tens of thousands who normally pay no attention at all to pugilistic affairs. -KMyssrys idle teas V" - But Jack Denipsey was idle , during 1922. -Beyond a few exhibitions in vari ous cities, he confined his activities to the stage i. This was . not Dempsey's fault. u is a real champion and likes to work at his trade. " The great diffi culty is that ho so far obtelasaes aU contenders, save one, and perhaps an other, that there is no business incen tive for him to make a match, even granting , that r the public would -'stand for his engagement with some eet-up. The one exception above noted is- Har ry, Wills, the negro. The second possi ble exception will be mentioned later. Wills- and Dempsey would have met this year had it not been for -the fact that the mixed bout idea, ia - nowhere popular and Is frowned upon by the. au thorities in most states. . Efforts to build up Interest In this bout have been under way , for a year now, and there are said to be chances 'that the fight w01.be pulled off in New York city next Septembea- The writer personally, does not- beiievV that 'these chances' are - so good as some persons think.

There -seems to be something-curious about this St. Paul fighter.: Up to this year he was going great guns, knocking all opponents gal- leywest. - But his 1922 showing consist ed chiefly of the poorest sort of a Tight against Bartley Madden as k climax, to hia defeat by Harry Greb in New Tork. He did show-class against Miske, who fouled him. .- The problem Is,, whether Tommy - was playing possum 1 with Greb, looking toward a" battle with Dempsey, or ? jvat what happened to him. At all events, he Is jrery clever, and can hit. There are Indications that Dempsey had rather meet almost any one than Gibbon. . - .5 -1 The most important world's title that changed hands during the year involved the . welterweight- class. .
