"The only development of today’s meeting was an assurance I received that if the club officials permit the use of the grounds for boxing pur poses they prefer that I be the one to promote bouts there. Any talk of holding a Dempsey-Wills battle there, particularly at this stnge of the game, is speculation and nothing more.
