chard finishing the game, which the
Besses won. In the sEecond game
Berg came back and held the Bosses
to two hits, while the Corbins touch
ed up Palmer freely and won, prin-
cipally by their bunting tactics. In
that game Palmer was bad in field
ing these teasers. Last Sunday Peter
son started for the Bosses but was
hatted ont Of the box and Palmer re-
lieved him, getting credit as the win
ming pitcher when the Bosses pushed
over the necessary tally. Last Sun
day, however, Berg pitched an effec-
tive game and there is no telling what
the outcome would have been had not
an unfortunate incident occurred in
an early inning which resulted in the
Bosses getting q run which many
thought they should not have had.
That was when Nom Begley interfered
with Blanchard's throw to the plate,
spoing a double play and permitting
4 run to score.
However, both Palmer and Berg are

l'irpo to the canvas. Perhaps the
sensed victory. but he was caught
wide open" and unprepared when
F'irpo came back to drop Dempsey,
first to his knees chen hurting
through the ropes to thcApress bench
es below the edge of the ring. The
finish of that round will be by
word In tistic history for all time.
Dempsey's victory removed all
doubt that he had lost his old punch,
doubt that had been source of un-
ending debate ever since the cham
pion failed to stop Tommy Gibbons in
their 5 round match at Shelby last
July. Against Firpo the titleholder
was the same man killer" the same
relentless assailant that had smashed
Willard to the canvas seven times in
the first round four years ago.
And in. defeat Firpo gained glory
and prestige that stamp him as still
one of the most dangerous of all time
ehallengers Rugged young and
Gauntless the Argentine's future has
not been crushed by defeat. His con-
fidence has not been shaken. Experts
who thrilled to his gallant stand last
night grant him all the requisites of
a champion except training and ex-
perience. Another year Of develop
ment under proper tutelage they be-
ievc will bring this swarthy giant
back. again to the top a far more for
equipped challenger.

Sept. 15.--IaIis Angel lrirpo was as
silent and somber in defeat last night
as he had been In his moments of
greatest victory. He sat In his dress

Horatio Layalle, the dapper little
trainer who came from the Argentine
to direct Firpo's championship battle,
also had little to say.

Through the ropes, clad in white
trunks, a white sweater buttoned over
his shoulders He was buoyant
Dempsey: a laughing confident Demp-
sey; Dempsey far different to the
champion who two years ago, with
worried glances from side to side,
stepped into the ring in Jersey City
TO face the renowned Georges Carpen-
lter of France. He received a thun-
dering welcome.
Luis sat in his corner as watchful
as beast of the jungle with combat
impending. A dark scowl appeared on
his brow as Dempsey entered and took
his corner. Not for a moment did he
take those keen dark eyes from the
face of the champion. His handlers
ioosed deafening volume of advice,
but Firpo never heard them. He was
gazing straight ahead of him at the
man he was to fight
Jack, squatting on his stool with an
army blanket draped across his knees,
cast sidelong glances at the crowd
while his seconds rubbed his muscles
and fondled his cars as a trainer
might caress a race horse. Once he
jumped from his chair and danced up
and down in his corner to timber his
leg muscles.
Interpreter Needed
The champion and challenger were
called TO the center of the ring for Il
conference protracted by Firpo's need
of an interpreter. The two fighters
grew restless as technicalitics were
cNpounded to them.

the challenger crashed to the canvas.
A short count and Firpo again was
on his feet. His eyes shone with the
fire of battle as he lunged at the man
who had felled him.
Floors Luis 4 More Times
Dempsey stood his ground For the
second and third times he knocked his
heavier opponent to the floor. Firpos
mouth gusled blood, but though
stunned he was far from out. He
drove sledge hammer right into
Dempsey's ribs with a thud that could
have been heard block away. But
the champions ribs weathered the
blow, and he returned the attack with
a fury that sent Firpo TO the floor for
the 4th round. A few seconds and he
was down again. this time in Demp- /
