He was at home to only a few
intimate friends when he arose and
breakfasted after a long sleep and
to these he repeated his favortte
slogan:
.''IlI do my stuff"
Coming from Dempsey this means
that he expects to win quickly,
though he is careful not to- appear
boastful.
Ringside betting indicates that
the public has not lost confidence
in Dempsey despite the widespread
tales OF Firpo's prowess. The
champion remains a 3-to-1 favorite
with his hackers begging in vain
for action at that price.

Broad street, reported the largest
wager yesterday. This firm placed
Sl2 900 against $4,000 ON Dempsey
to win and announced that $751;
600 more could be had on the
champion at the same odds.
A feature of the betting today
is the widening of the odds on a
knockout. AS high as to s on
Dempsey was offered last night.
This price was quoted by w. L.
Darnell & Co. The firm had $4,000
to wager on those odds last night.

had widened to 3h to 1.
Fried & Co. has accepted one
bet of $1,000 at even money. that
Firpo would mot. answer the bell
for the ninth round. A wager of
$4,000 against 1000 was also
placed that Firpo will not knock
out Dempsey. Other firms are

what IS the reason Tor all this
settlement and expenditure of
money?
This writer yesterday mingled
with a crowd of fight enthusiasts
down in New York's roaring For
ties. He watched them in their
frantic efforts to buy tickets, and
he sat by and listened, as they ar
gued the coming bout from every
angle. Finally he engaged in con.
versation with one Of the men-a
Californian who had come all the
way across the continent to see the
battle.
"Why did you come all TINT dis
lance to see the fight" the writer
asked. "What was is that at.
tracted you to New York and the
scene Of activity?"
The Californian paused q mo.
ment. Then he answered slowly, as
II weighing his words one by one:
II guess it's the mystery OF this
man Firpo," he remarked. "He's so
different from anyone who has
come before. want to see him in
there fighting-I want to see for
myself the sort Of man he is"
/. ':But1" this writer interrupted,
'Hdo you think he has chance?
Do you think he can VIM"
'No," the Californian replied. "I
don't. I think Dempsey WIN win in
q short time. But, IL perchance
Fdrpo should win. then I want to
be able to say to my friends and
acquaintance; I saw this cave man

That was one cngle.
