Kearns Barred From Polo Grounds as Dempsey Challenge Dispute
New York state athletic commission denied Jack Kearns a second manager’s license preventing him from sitting in Mickey Walker’s corner at the Polo Grounds for Thursday night’s Dempsey title challengers. The action stems from Kearns ignoring commission rulings and his ties to Dempsey. Kearns said a peaceful settlement would come before Thursday and questioned figures for a Wills bout. He denied knowledge of a Dempsey Tunney match at Michigan City.
