But now that the title remains
in these United States. am
supremacy hopeful that Dempsey
will remember that I went fifteen
rounds with him in Shelby and
that it would seem that I am
entitled to return match.
The accounts Of the fight which
I have read make it seem that the
battle truly was one Of the most
sensational ever fought in me en-
tire history of the American ring
I am sorry that my theatrical en-
gagements made it impossible for
me to be at the ringside.
But in the reading Or the
round by round descriptions,
gained a greater confidence than
ever in my own ability to whip
Dempsey.
Dempsey fought a wide open
fight with Firpo and ii was q slug
ging match from end to end. He
fought no such battle against me.
He used all the defensive skill he
had and kept himself covered. i
hope when he gives me the second
shot at the title he will fight
against me just exactly the same
sort of fight which he wagcd
against the South American slug
ger.
went along fifteen rounds with
Dempsey and he never even stag
gered me. Firpo was in the ring
only one and a third rounds, ard
yet, according to the reports, was

His rival lacked ability to hit
straight, relying largely on count

The Southern tftIeholder started
slowly and not till the third round
did he come to life. Then he un-
covered his left jab and began piling
up points. Now and then Murray

The Next Time.

"HE next time they meet and
I they will Dempsey may de-
eide to box, tying Firpo into
knots with his footworlx. Indeed,
there were times last Friday
night, especially near the corners,
where Dempsey made the wild
Bull" look foolish.
Firpo had Jimmy DeForest, the
best trainer of heavyweights in
the country today, but he let him
go. Why is it supposed that he
will take him again? Or that he
even wants him?
Firpo and Dempsey are about
the same age, both being born in
1895, Dempsey in June, Firpo in
October. Dempsey has battled his
way from the bottom, absorbing
all that the ring has to teach. AT
the same age Firpo is but started
on the long road.
What is there in this Firpo
which makes ordinary folks be-
lieve him especially gifted that
in one year he can overtake
Dempsey?
Firpo is a determined man. He
shows that to have come as far as
he has, equipped only with q
courageous heart and wonderful
right hand.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-09-18
Has Little Skill.

n us FIRPO has little ring
4 skill. He has no defense for
- a stiff jab. Dempsey has a
good one. He has no defense
against a hook with either hand.
That's why Dempsey landed them
so frequently. He knows nothing
about moving around a ring, ex-
cept to leap straight toward his
foe.
Is it supposed that Firpo, even
with high-class trainer of box
ers, can absorb in a gymnasium
all that Dempsey acquired under
fire?
A football eleven always gains
ground in signal drill. Often
it loses on those same formations
against even the scrub. Just so
does a gymnasium boxer frequent
ly lose half his stuff in the ring.
Suppose Firpo and Dempsey
meet again next summer, and it's
possible. Firpo will hardly know
more than he does now. He may
be more watchful coming out of
cfinches. He may have learned
something about using the cor
ners, though it is doubtful. He
may have learned to count to ten
in English, the lack of which
knowledge is said to have handi-
capped him bit last week.
But a boxing Dempsey, Demp-
sey of July A, 1923, or even of
July 2, 1921, would be an entire
stranger to him.
And where is the experience
which would enable him to switch
his entire campaign against such a
stranger?
Think it over for yourself.

He Proves 1t.

/" THROUGHOUT his training
period at Saratoga, Dempsey,
who reads the newspa pers,
met that lost punch" tale on all
sides.
Jack Kearns, talking about the
generalship shown by Dempsey
against Firpo, says, 1t was my
opinion that the public wanted to
see him step out and fight Firpo
at his own game, to stand toe-tio-
toe with him and slug. Jack
agreed with me and that IS. the way
he fought. He beat Firpo at
Firpo's favorite style Of milling.
"Jack agreed with nae and that
is the way he fought" seems to us
to tell the whole story, explaining
why. the champion cast aside all
his weII-known boxing ability to
outslug the South American.
: Dempsey was good enough .
boxer on July 4 to outpoint Tommy
Gibbons, really clever defensive
light heavyweight.
Then why, in the name Of all
that's reasonable, isn't he clever
enough to outpoint the clumsy, one
handed Luis Angel Firpo?
Think it over for yourself.

HIS SICILIAN BLOOD
CAUSED HIS TROUBLE

Bruno Nere's Sicilian blood caus-
ed a verdict to be rendered against
him yesterday at the local district
court before Judge Hommann for
$40 by George Schmanko, plaintiff
in the suit.
The case came about on Septem-
Der % when the cars of the plain
tiff and defendant collided on a pri-
vate lane leading to the Federal
Terra Gotta Works, at Woodbridge.
Both cars struck headon and when
Mere got out of his machine to ex-
anime the damages he picked up a
large stone and thrust it into the
front of Schmanko's car.
When asked yesterday his reason
for this act Mere replied that his
''Sicilian blood" became stirred and
he lost control of himself. He add
ed. however. that the large stone
did not cause any more damage than
did the accident. Karkus and Kar-
kus appeared for the plaintiff. while
the defendant was represented by
