Only Promises
In Dempsey and
Firpo Argument
Iy HENRY L. FARRELL,

United Press staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, July 18.--Another
promise of something today or
tomorrow" about Hhe Dempsey
Firpo heavyweight championship
match was made today by Tex
Rickard.
"There are just n few little de-
tails to get straightened out before
make n definite announcement of
when hand where the match is to be
held,p Riekafd said.
Richard was willing to say posi-
lively that the South American
would meet Dempsey for the title
before the end of the year and
in the United States.
81 have Firpo under contract to
meet Dempsey this year and if |
am unable to make the match | am
no promoter,' Rickard said.
Jack Kearns, manager of the
champion, takes the stand that he
does not care where the fight is to
be held. He is more interested in
the date, as he wants to send
Dempsey against Firpo and Wills
before the end of the year.
Kearns prefers Labor Day for
the Firpo match and he wants the
Wills bout in or near New York
around world s series time.
Getting Il world S heavyweight
championship bout near the time
Of the baseball classic may cause
the major magnates to froth some
more and they have been frothing
plenty all summer because so many
fine boxing cards have been placed
in competition with the "grand old
national pastimc. -
Unless some action is taken soon
to close the baseball parks to box
ing, the clubs owners are power
les to stop big matches.
While heavy conversation only
has been encountered in the heavy
weight championship event, the
word has been passed that Rick
ard is promising something definite
soon.
"Thc Leonard-Tendler fight is a
'natural , though and the tickets
are going as though there were no
such thing as 4 heavyweight, "
Jimmy Johnston, promoter of the
fight, said today.
Leonard and Tender are both
working into the final stages of
their training and it seems certain
from the advance sales that the
fight will draw half million dol.
lars. Leonard has been established
a slight favorite in the early bet

Hippo Loses to
Kid in Third Go;
Harry in Scrap

"The bigger they are, the hard
er they iall'', was never more
truthfully shown than at Coachella
last night, when Kid Williams, light
heavyweight champion of Imperial
Valley, knocked out Young Hippo,
heavyweight champion of Coachella
Valley in the third round, despite
the fact that he was outweighed by
nearly 30 pounds.
Young Hippo, with trip-hammer
punch in either hand, shook the en-
tire ring when his blows landed on
his lighter opponent, but the local
boy succeeded in stopping most OF
them with his arms and shoulders
The end came after Il minute OF
fighting in the third round. While
Hippo was raining blows on Will
ljams' shoulders, the latter shot out
a short left hook, which caught
the Coachella champion the solar
p!eXus, and dropped him for the
count.
To give the fans a run for their
money, Williams boxed an exhibi.
tion round with Kid johnson of FL
Centre, and another with his man.
ager, Harry Woodbury.. To pay Will
liams for an extra heavy clout
Woodbury. soaked him on the mouth,
cutting his lip.
Red Corbelt, substituting for
Joe Mandot, lost close decision to
Herb Miller of Coachella, who show
ed a world of class. Happy Jack,
refused to meet Kid Jackson, and
the clever colored lad was forced to
warm the bench during the evening.
The fights drew well, the house
being packed and the crowd includ-
ed many women and children. The
American Legion conducted the
fight card and obtained a nice sum
toward a fund for n new clubhouse.
Imperial Valley press., 1923-07-18

read the advertising of the store
for that day, and found that less
than 20 had done so.
In no other way can a salesman
really acquaint himself with the af-
fairs of the store for which he is
working, than by each day reading
the stores advertisements. BY read
ing the advertisements continuous
ly, the sales person becomes ac-
quaintcd with every department of
the store, its policy and principles,
and this acquaintance will make of
him a moro efficient and valuable
employee Of the store.
Not only should salesman read
the advertisements of his own de-
partment, but should also know the
offerings of every other depart
ment, in order that he could intelli-
gently call attention to customers
to the offerings in other depart
ments of the store. Some stores
send around the proofs of the
ads the day before they are to
appear. In other stores it is the
custom to post the proof of the
"ads' on the bulletin board, or in
the retiring rooms where they may
be read.
What is needed, and badly need
ed, is a plan whereby each sales
person, each day, shall read care
fully, painstakingly and with pro-
fit, the "ads" for the day, getting
from them the necessary informa-
tion that will enable them to sell
the largest volume of merchandise.
The alert executive can, when he
sets himself to it, devise numberless
ways by which he can guarantee
that his advertisements will be read
bv every member Of his sales force.
It may cost some time, serious
thought, and little money, but it
will be the best investment that an
executive can make.

Jenkins Reports
on "Dry Lettuce"
Hearing in East

A telegram received today from
G. G. Jenkins, manager of the
Imperial County Farm Bureau, who
is in attendance at the hearing be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Chicago ON the subject
of ''dry lettuce" shipments, ad-
vises the directors o. the Farm
Bureau that the hearing will un-
doubtedly require all of today ana
tomorrow, and that he is making
an effort to have an additional
hetng in Los Angeles, arranged
for next month.
The matter of "dry lettuce
shipments is an important one for
Imperial Valley, involving both
the lettuce shippers and the rail
road company. The latter contends
that the practice. of shippers in
shipping lettuce to the market with
ice placed on top of the crates in
stead of in the ice bunkers of the
refrigerator cars is detrimental to
the ears, as they are not built to
stand the strain of carrying loose
ice. The shippers claim that this
methods of shipment does not in
jure the car, and affords them an
opportunity OF, saving approxim-
imately $75 re-icing charges on each
car and that this fact is the rca-
son for the railroad company's OPP
position to the practice.

The second is that the supreme

will be tried Saturday.
In addition to this Hanna will
