This ultimatum was Issued by

which both the Wills and Gibbons
challenges were considered.
The heavyweight titleholder was
officially notified of the two-challenges
in a telegram sent to him
Jn Los Angeles oy tne commission
late today. The Wills challenge
was given priority because it was
filed one week before Gibbons sent
in his battle bid. ?
Chairman James J. Farley,
speaking for the commission said:
"The commission has decreed
that the Wills challenge should be
given precedence over the Gibbons
challenge because it was filed
first. We have taken both chal
lenges under careful consideration
and -find that the only way we can
fret any action is by taking the
matter right to headquarters."
- "Dempsejr? aiust make a deci
sion. nni wit nr thn nthpr nn the
Wills challenge now."
, The' commissioner said this was
the first step taken in a campaign
to force all 'active champions to
fight or give up their crownss
LOS ANGELES, March 6. Dic
tation on the part, of the New
York state athletic commission as
to who Jack Dempsey,1 heavy
weight boxing champion,' shall and
shall not fight is out of the ques
tion. Jack Kearns, the titleholder's
manager;"declared . here today in
answer to a demand by the New
York commission that' Dempsey
reply within 24 nonra to the chal
lenge of Harry Wills, the negro
contender.
"Dempsey and myself are not
under the Jurisdiction of the New
York commission and .are not in
terested in any" way Whatever in
what it does unless it is Interest
ed in such a contest as a promo
ter," Kearns asserted. -V-v
"If the New York commission
does care to promote a Dempsey
Wills fight, their offer will be con
sidered along with those of the
Rickard and Henderson offers.";
Kearns said that a similar de
mand was made about two years
ago and that after he had accept
ed the challenge, the contest was
prohibited by William Muldoon of
the commission-
Commenting upon the New York
commission's lack of jurisdiction.
Kearns said that . Dempsey's li
cense to fight in that state expired
after the Firno bout and that a
renewal of the license would have
to be obtained before he could box
there again.'
Kearns announced that he would
leave for the eastern . city March

bouts. The Champion, he said
