The cunning season in Delaware for
quail and rabbits has been actively
engaged in by Clayton sportsmen
since the season opened on November
18th, nearly every day local sports
men in more or less numbers have
been out. In a few instances reports
of game being plentiful have been
made, but the greater majority of
those who have sought fieet-foOted
bunny or the toothsOme quail have
been badly disappointed, and it is gen.
orally conceded that there are less
rabbits to be found in Delaware this
season than for many years. Many
of our sportsmen are advocating {
closed season, as the only possible
means of preserving our wild game.

Argentine BattIer Grows Most
TempermentaI in Train

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. %.

Luis Angel Firpo for his bout with
Jack Dempsey were today devoting
their best efforts to bring the Ar
gentinian out Of the temperamental
crouch which yesterday gave evi.
dence Of interfering with the chal.
lenger's work. They were com
PEELED to resort to tactics in order
to attain their ends. Firpo is king
in his own camp and If he wants
to work. or loaf his subjects
merely shrug their shoulders and
wish 1t were not so.
Apparently the only thing the
challenger. does with real pleasure
is to get up at o'clock and do
some road work on the boardwalk.
He likes to do this and leave his
companions half mile behind in a
mile jaunt. When the, trip il
over the others find him seated
contentedly. on the walk ready to
josh the others numerically foI
their lack of endurance.
Firpo is scheduled to 60 through

No Great Boxer.

TACK DEMPSEY is no great
. boxer. Neither is he a bad
one. Georges Carpenter was
known to be a clever boxer and
packing a real punch in his right
hand, yet he could do nothing
with the champion and succeeded
in landing but one of his favor
tie blows, a right to the jaw after
a jump.
Tom Gibbons, over several
years in the ring, has established
for himself a reputation for clev-
erness. He could outpoint rivals
before he discovered he could put
them to sleep. Yet he failed to
outpoint Dempsey at Shelby.
Firpo is not a boxer. He is
a fighter, he is a fighter who
hangs his entire future on his
right hand. He stands still until
he believes the opportunity has
come. Then, with a tigerish
lunge, he drives in against his OPP
ponent, swinging that terrible
right hand, caring not much
where it may land, if only it may
land.
Dempsey does not intend fac
ing Firpo as he faced Gibbons
and Carpenter. They were
smaller than the champion. Firpo
is bigger. So Jack will go back
to the system he used to win
the worlds title and all the
money Montana could find.
The Washington times., 1923-08-29
Don't Expect Much.

IF you're going up to New
York to see the battle, don't
expect to see much. Then, if
it ends in one round, you won't
be disappointed, and if it hap
pens to drag along for four or
five you'll come home satisfied
that never again will the ring
stage such combat between
Titans.
Personally, we expect to see
Dempsey win in one round. Yes,
we expected Jack to knock out
Gibbons, too. Well, we can ex-
pect, can't we? We expect one
round. That's our expectation,
and We'll stick to it.
Unless Firpo's rugged strength
carries him through the first
round against severe trouncing,
Dempsey will be in danger there
after. If Firpo's awkwardness
bothers the champion and the
challenger is strong when the
second session starts, Dempsey
will be in great danger of stop
ping that ponderous failing right.
IL tIrpo can endure Dempsey's
terrific Jolts and uppercu.s, quite
his best blows, without losing too
much strength, he may have a
chance to take advantage of
Dempsey's growing fatigue.
Nevertheless, we don't believe
the South American will look
much better than Willard did at
Toledo, if Dempsey succeeds in
letting loose the same storm of
rights and lefts.
Dempsey toyed with Carpenter
before knocking him out with a
short right to the jaw after weak
ening him with body blows.
Dempsey outpointed the clever
Gibbons, taking all the St. Paul
man had in stock.
Dempsey can hit Fjrpo and he
can hurt him. If his furious at
tack bewilders the Argentinian,
Dempsey will win in one round
and then We'll rush downtown on
a hunt for bottle of real beer.

he can and as frequently as he
can until Firpo sinks to the floor
and the referee goes through the
motions.
When the bell rings, starting
that coming scrap, it will be up
to Jack Dempsey to keep away
from Firpo's right hand which
has such stunning effect. That
will call for footwork, for the
footwork gained in dancing
around with Bernstein and Villa,
two speedy little fellows.
Dempsey is no inexperienced
man inside the ropes. He knows
what to do and how to do it.
He has never seen Firpo, but his
manager, Jack Kearns, has.
Dempsey knows all that he needs
to know about the man he is to
face on September IA in New
York.
