DEMPSEY and F|RPO
ARE HARD HITTERS
In Style, Each Man Is Different
From Other Great Fighters

BY The Associated Press.
New York, Aug. S0.-Jack Demp-
sey, worlds heavyweight champion.
and Luis Angel Firpo of the Argen-
tine who will oppose him in match
for the title at the Polo Grounds on
the night of September IA are two of
the hardest hitting heavyweights that
ever lived. Yet they are of type
far removed from the great ring war;
riors OF other days
There is little comparison to be
made between The fighting styles OF
these two modern giants of the ring,
and any OF the former leading heavy
weights, such US John l.. Sullivan,
James j. Jeffries, Jack johnson.
James ]. Corbett CT Bob Fitzsimmons.
Both Dempsey end Firpo are
natural fighters, each with style
all his own
Six Inch Jolts
The l,w crcuching Dempsey weav-
ing around an opponent with his
powerful arms always ready to lash
out Furnishing blows to the body or
head ,s one OF the most deceiving
fighters the ring ever developed. His
punches whether with right or left
are hooked into the ribs, under the
heart or to the jaw with astonishing
precision and power, there are no
swinging blows in Dempsey's punch
ing repertoire. His jolts seldom
travel more than a foot; frequently
six inches.
Uses Half Crouch
Dempsey fights in a half crouch
always on his toes. He is an open
target to both right and left hand
punches but is SO fast on foot that
only the cleverest and fastest punch
ers have been able to land on him eff
fectively. Georges Carpntier with his
flashing right nailed Dempsey square
ly on the chin but the champion see
ing the blow start was going away
from the punch by the time it had
reached its mark and the full force of
it was spent. Yet, it jolted Dempsey
to his heels. Time and again in his
fight with Tommy Gibbons at Shelby,
Mont, Gibbons landed lightning lefts
to the head, but they did not carry
enough power to hurt the rugged
champion.
Firpo is Primitive

MERIDEN Wins, es
over LOCAL POLICE
Glaring Errors Contribute t
Downfall in Silver City

Lack of team work was largely re-
sponsible for the New Britain police
lnen's baseball team going down to
defeat at the hands of the Meriden
ooppers yesterday afternoon at Han
over park to a . to score. If the
locals had only injected some of the
pep they displayed in the third,
fourth and seventh innings in the re-
naming innings of the game they
might have squelched the Silver City
-sleuths.
McMurray Is Bad
McMurray displayed poor ball yes
terday and his playing was sad dis
appointment to many New Britain
fans who went to the game expecting
New Britain to win. Although reput-
ed to be a good baseball player, Mo-
Murray was not in form yesterday and
made several errors and plumbers.
His three errors in the second inning
gave the Silver City lads an excellent
opportunity to start scoring and an
opportunity which they took advan-
tage of. They made seven runs in
this inning and from then ON it was
plainly seen that the game belonged
to Meriden.
Seven Runs For Meriden
The game started off even in the
first inning with neither New Britain
or Meriden scoring. New Britain
came to bat again in the second but
failed to score while old dame luck
must have been with the Meriden
bluecoats for they succeeded in MAX

statement published by Deputy Cor
oner Frank Paul today.
This city is wide OPEN" he con-

sold openly, on the corners. You can
buy all you want. But most of 1t is
poisonous. You can't buy the pre-
war liquor, for no one will sell it.
They may call it imported stuff
but most of 1t is either moonshine,
denatured or colored alcohol, and is
poisonous"
To guard against an old-fashioned
New Year celebration here, with new
fashioned liquors, Coroner William
II. Knight will placard the city with
posters showing photographs of the
bodies of victims of poisonous bever-

local police department through the
efforts of Police Chief Niels j. Ton

The plates for 1924 have a red

the plates are not to be mutilated
or reduced in size and that 1929

Return to Athens

PARIS, Dec. % (By The Associ-

here from Greece TO persuade eX-
Premier Venizelos to return nome
and help unraVel Greece's political
tangle arrived here this morning
after an unpleasant voyage of eight
DAYS on the storm-lashed Mediter-
ranean. Its members were happy to
discover that their mission had been
accomplished for them by telegraph
while they were or the way.
NJ. Venizelos gave a luncheon this
afternoon in their honor and subse-
quently began a conference with
them regarding the situation. His
mind was already made up, however,
it was said on the best of authority.
although his final decision to accede
to the request was expected to be
withheld until after he had con-
cluded his conference with the dele
cation and had conferred with the
political leaders here. His depar-
ture is fixed for some time within the
next forty-eight hours, the exact
hour being held secret.
The Greek delegation, headed by
Professors Karolidis and Hadjidakis
of Athens University. represents all
classes of the people and all the
Greek parties. Professor Karolidis
was till quite recently one of the
most bitter of the anti-Venizelists.
The general n~on-partisan sentiment
the delegates represent, and which
was made known to the e~x-premier
by wire while the delegation was on
the way here. is the factor that per-
suaded him to return to Athens tenn
porarily.

lode Of ETHICS
]. FOR TEACHERS
Is Being Prepared by Special
Committee at Convention
Held in Newark

NEWARK, Dec. 28:-A definite
code of ethics for teachers, prepared
by a special committee, today was
distributed among the 600 teachers
from all sections of the state who
are attending the sixty-ninth annual
convention of the State Teachers
) Association. 1t will be sent in
pamphlet form, to the 10000 teach
ers throughout the state for their
consideration.
The condifcation takes up the
various relations of the teacher to
the community, the home, his fell
low teachers, the profession and
others interested in the field of edu-
cation. 1t calls for the maintenance
of high teaching standards, loyalty
to the profession and the raising of
teaching to an equality with other
professions.
In urging the adoption of the
code, Superintendent Preston H.
Smith of Bayonne, president of the
association declared that the crystal
lization of a formal code was the
last requisite for placing the teach
Ing profession on a par with other
professions.
ut Is up to teachers SO to fit and
themselves In view OF the
way our government is drifting that
they can take a controlling interest
In the particular field in which they
are interested" he said.
The purpose of the code Is to
promote professional ideals, to in
crease the zeal, pride and loyalty of
each teacher for the profession and
to assist teachers and others with
whom they may be professionally
associated"
