Dempsey and Walker Face Suspension Threat
New York August 3. Jack Dempsey and Mickey Walker risk indefinite suspension by the New York state athletic commission if they do not appear before the body and sign agreements for title matches with their challengers Harry Wills and Davel Shide. Dempsey remains away on the Pacific Coast, while Walker delays until his manager Jack Kearns arrives. The commission may bar them from fighting in New York and other states with working agreements, leaving the title in limbo until proper terms are met. Kansas City also reports Harry Greb express interest in a bout with Dempsey if possible.
