NEW YORK. July 15. Jack Dempsey is ready to risk
his title against anyone who wishes to enter the ring with him,
and would like to fijfht a bout or two this fall.
Thus quoth the champion today on his return from a tour , eutsiaK lhe ,tuation resulting from
of Europe. Jack said he had no arrangements as yet, but ( villa's death in San Francisco. Far
would entertain offers for matches as soon as he had con- ley said the elimination tournament

admitted he was not a good sailor at any time, and that he
had suffered considerably on the trip back, from the gentle
slaps of the waves on the sides of the ship.
"I have lost weight," he admitted, "because I had had a
cold and have been a bit seasick, but I am ready to enter the
r ring any time I get a good proposition."

"I think that t am entitled to a

said. "However, I will not make

Although the champion said that
Harry Wills was surely one of the
leading contenders for the world's
heavyweight crown, he expressed the
opinion that Gene Tunney was the
. logical challenger.
He minimised reports of his
troubles with the New York boxing

"I don't think that I am in bad

said. ."They were in a good humor
when I appeared before them before
I went to Europe. When I sign for

It without any trouble."
But, of course, the champion has

"However I am confident that the

American champion, unless the lat

"Genaro is the outstanding con
