 ARMIES BREED
 MUCH TROUBLE

VIENNA, Jan. 8.-Besides it's little standing army of about 25,000 men and it's state gendarmerie, Austria has two other armed and organized forces, both irregular and both prob- ably without the pale of the treaty. In the opinion of many observers here the two last mentioned organizations may lead to trouble. They are the admittedly well armed labor bat talions, and the growing "heinwehr" or conservative armed organizations of the provinces.
 The latter are composed largely of the peasants and lesser professional classes and ex-officers, and are par ticularly strong in Styria and the Tyrol. Just how and where they got arms, ammunition and equipment is not known. The Allied Military Con- trol Commission was supposed to have stripped the country of military material but the fact remains that both these organizations are fully equipped and number many thousands. Recently the police found in one of the "heimwehr' headquarters not only guns and loaded clubs but hand gre nades and poison gas.
 Incidents in Styria recently showed the danger of these factions. In one case strikers captured and disarmed gendarmes sent to subdue disturb ances, whereupon the governor of the province ordered out the local detach- ments of the army. The army is preponderantly socialist and sympa- thetic with the workers but the sol diers obeyed orders, subdued the trou ble makers, and released the police men. The explanation is found in the fact that the governor had, at the same time, assembled 200O of his "heimwehr" and put them behind the soldiery to see they did what they were told to do.
 The two forces narrowly avoided a serious clash recently in Judenburg, Styria, and this incident showed even more clearly the latent danger that lies in this condition of affairs. Work men from some factories entered the homes of "heimwehr' peasants at night and seized their arms. They were arrested in turn, and, when a first demand for their release was re- fused nearly 2O00 workmen, militar- ilv armed and organized, assembled and marched on the town. Gerdarmes were mobilized, reinforced by students from the two state universities there, and for two days the two forces faced each other over a little bridge Then the government ordered the release or the arrested workmen, and further trouble was avoided.
 The recent disclosure that the large industrial concerns of Austria are pay | ing to their central body a regular tax greater than their state tax, for the maintenance of technical men,
 which is merely a disguise for strike breakers and secret police, has not served to lessen the i'll feeling Of the workingmen, and this condition IS used by them as justification for their own organizations.

JIM DOUGHERTY
SAYS F|RPO
|SGOOD
Believes Argentinian Has Great
Chance Against Ameri-
can Champ.
By WARREN w. BROWN.

NEW YORK, Aug 16. - Jimmy
Dougherty, referee Of the Dempsey
Gibbons fight at Shelby and close.
personal friend of the heavyweight
champion, was 80 impressed with the
exhibition of Luis Angel Firpo III
beating down Charley Weinert las:
Monday night he Is going to make
a special trip to Saratoga to warn
the champion to get himself into the
best shape Of his career for his
coming bout with the man from the
Argentine.
"If Dempsey beats this fellow
Firpo," Dougherty said today. sit
will mean that the champion Is
better fighter than any heavyweight
Of all time. The man 1 saw knock
out Charley Weinert Monday night
is so per cent q better fighter than
the Jeffries who defeated Bob Fttz-
simmons. Dempsey cannot afford to
take any chances with this fellow.
IT managed Bob Armstrong, one
of the first men who met .Jeffries
when the latter came East for the
first time. So know what I'm talk
ing about when say that Firpo is
a better man today by far than JEFF
fries was then. Jeffries was never
the hitter that this Firpo is.
Dempsey will have to be in the
best shape Of his career to meet this
fellow. The only chance Dempsey
has to beat him is to wear him down
with successive punches. If he can
not wear him down, then l fear for
the worst, as far as Dempsey is con-
cerned. l tell you what 1 saw over
there in Philadelphia Monday night
scared me. I'm going up to Saratoga
right away and tell Dempsey, believe
me-"
Dougherty's say-so is very much
the same as that of Dan McKetrick,
an associate of Jack Kearns, Demp.
sey's manager. McKetrick saw Firpo
Monday night and has been so shaky
ever since he walks about only with
the aid of a. cane. McKetrick de-
livered a warning to Kearns that
was practically the same as that
Dougherty says he will give to
Dempsey, but all the effect the re-
port had on Kearns was to cause the
remark: 1.-THE fight'll draw a mil
lion dollars il the mob thinks the
same as you, Dan"

GREB|SSEEK|NG
LEFT-HANDED
PARTNER
Ed Kelley Is Only One Harry
Has Been Able TO
Engage.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Harry
Greb, arriving from Pittsburgh, has
completed arrangements to take
over the little cottage and training
quarters at Manhasset occupied by
Jimmy Wilde earlier in the sum-
mer. Greb was accompanied by
Red" Mason. his manager and
trainer.
The Pittsburgher is confronted
with the task Of finding some left
handed sparring partners. South
paws are scarce among the big
men. The one Greb has engaged Is
Ed Kelley, the only left-handed
heavyweight in these parts. Kelley
is the Bridgeport lad who bowled
over his opponents in the amateur
tournaments here and turned pro-
fessional about a year ago.
AS Wilson is the first left.hander
Greb has ever been matched with
he may make some radical changes
in his style of boxing. The first
time that Leonard fought Tender
the lightweight champion did not
solve the Philadelphian's style for
several rounds, but before the Sec
ond fight he evolved q system of
defense and counters that com.
pletely bewildered Tender. Greb
hopes to engage at least two other
left-handed sparring partners, one
lighter than himself.
Greb usually relies on his speed
and rapid, shifting attack to dis
concert his opponents. He is a
point winner through his ability to
go a long distance at high speed.
Harry makes the usual statement
that he expects to show Wilson he
can hit because he figures he is so
much faster than the champion
that he can stand flatfooted. II he
attempts this he may encounter Sc
rious trouble.

Harry yesterday, "and will be down
to weight by next Monday. I
should have all my strength left
after training, as 100 pounds is nv

first man of my own weight I
have fought in some time. I ex-

BET ONLY UPON
ROUND BENNY
K. D. SJOHN
Fans Believe Dundee Is Too
Light for Leonard's
Swings.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Betting
on the Benny Leonard Johnny Dun
dee affair revolves around Benny's
chance to win by a knockout and
the round he may deliver, the
"kayo."
The ring sharps do not think well
Of Johnny's chance to capture the
lightweight title by a decision and
practically none can visualize him
winning by O knockout. Their an
gle 10 that good big man Leonard
is meeting q good little man dun
dee) and that the little man is too
heavily handicapped.
There is practically no big bet
ting on which way a vdecision may
go, but whenever q Leonard man
boasts of a knockout he can get
plenty of action from the Dundee
adherents.
A few years ago, when Leonard
was not the finished artist he il
now, and Johnny Kilbane was an
active ringster, Benny easily stopped
the then featherweight champion.
Kilbane was greatly surprised, for
he believed he could spot any man
ten pounds and give him hard
fight.
Dundee is equally as confident
and Johnny has reason to be. He
has faced Leonard eight times and
only once was he in danger of TAX
ing the long count. However, Dun
dee knows when and how to go to
cover when he is hurt. His affray
with Leonard will be a battle of
ring generalship.
