DUNDEE WINS OVER
COOGAN ON POINTS

"Old Man" Mel CooEan found rug
ged youth and aggressiveness too
much of a handicap for him last night
when he lost twelve-round decision
to Joe Dundee of Baltimore in the
feature bout at Sportland Heights
boxing arena. Berywn, Md. 1t was a
stinging defeat for the Brooklyn
boxer, who won decisions over Benny
Leonard and Johnny Dundee in his
prime. Approximately $500 fans saw
the show.
Neither seemed to have the strength
to deliver the K. o.. and the bout
lacked smuggling. Mel displayed oc
casional spurts in which he demon
strated that he once was "A topnotcher.
Dundee cut Coogans left eye in the
early stages of the miX-up. This
bothered Mel considerably.
1t was Dundee's persistent pecking
away that gave him the decision. The
Baltimorean appeared to have i'm
proved his style of attack since he
made his last appearance here against
Andy Bowen. His defense was more
secure, and his rushes more canny
CooGan'S ability to evade Dundees
blows by clever lodging and ducking
saved him from a more severe lacing.
The eight-round semi-final proved
a hloomer. Joe Chaney of Baltimore
completely outclassed Roy Taylor of
Richmond. In the second round
CLANCY delivered knockout punch.
Reddy Tender outpointed Terry
O'Day in the six round special. Neither
fighter knew much of the art OF self

OF modern ringmen Firpo knows
all that should be known. He can
name the champions of all classes for
years and years and tell OF their best
punches. their greatest triumphs and
their defeats Naturally he has been
a close student of Jack Dempsey
whom he hopes to dethrone when
they meet If New York September II.
The Argent!han has never seen Demp-
sey in action, save in motion pictures.
but he knows all his best punches
and can recite the champions record
without racking his brain. He knows
the names of the men who have been
able to hit Dempsey and the blows
they used In short. he knows ex-
sctly what is ahead of him and Is
preparing to meet it,
In addition to his physical workouts
each day he has what may be called
THE study hour" With his trainers.
Horatio Lavalle, and his friends. he
analyses his days work, states the
faults he has seen and others point
out his obvious defects. Then cor
rective measures are discussed and
praCtfced the next day.
There is no fear of Dempsey in the
lion heart of the man from the Argen-
tine. but he wants the title and what
ever he can do to make himself
punch-proo he will do.
Soon shows His ProweSs.
Within three months after arriving
In the United States in the winter of
1922. Firpo had three opponents. all
of whom he defeated by knockouts.
He received less than $500 for all
these nh,eements.

Joe Mccain. New Jersey young
ster. was the South Americans second
victim. Joe was finished in six rounds,
but he holds the distinction of being
bne of the few to land effectively on
the ArGentinan. McCann sent Firpo
to his knees with a heavy right to the
chin in the fifth round. but was so
badly battered Immediately after that
he proved an easy victim in the sixth.
Italian Jack Herman of Newark.
\. J.. holds the distinction of sleeping
longer under Il Firpo punch than any
other man who opposed the South
American giant Herman managed
to evade Firpo's wallops for four
rounds. but forgot to duck in the fifth.
A Firpo right landed on his jaw, then
left found the point of his chin. He
was raised d foot off the floor and
landed fat on his back. Thirty min
utes later he woke up and asked:

His victory over Willard and his
easy wins in an exhibition tour are

The commonest faults OF the aver
age players footwork are an i'm
proper position of the feet in fore
hand and backhand strokes, and not
keeping always up on the toes.
In the first place, always keep up
on your toes with your knees slight
ly bent. Then, in making a return,
have your feet in line with the
stroke. In making, say. forehand
drive, my feet are in a line at right
angles to the net. and when | start
the stroke my weight is on my right
foot. AS | make the stroke, the
weight shifts to the forward foot,
while i'll the backhand stroke just

Start with the weight on the left
foot and shift it onto the front foot

KINSEY BROTHERS
MEET IN NET FINAL

RYE. y. Y, August 31.-Robert and
Howard Kinsey of California will
meet on Sunday in the final round of
southern New York tennis champion
ship.
Yesterday in the semi-anal round
Robert Kinsey defeated his fellow
Californian, Harvey Snodgrass. 3-6.
6-4. 60, and Howard kinsey elimi-
mated Rene Lacoste of the French
Davis cup team in convincing fashion,
Go, 6-4.
The Kinsey brothers also reached
the semi-final round of the mems
doubles, defeating Crawford McPher-
son and j. A. CIuett in the second
round, 60. 6-1. Robert kinsey also
gained a place In the final round of the
mixed doubles. Paired with Miss
Marie L. Potter, he defeated his
brother and Miss Chatillon. Is. Cd.
Howard Kinsey's decisive victory
over Lacoste was the most interest
ing feature of the days play. The
youthful French player was expected
to give the Californian a severe tus-
sle for the honors after his victory
Wednesday over Francis Hunter. In
the first set Kinsey had his opponent
at his mercy. confusing him with his
mixture of chops and drives. Lacoste
was repeatedly caught out of position
as the other changed his length. and
Kinsey's mixture of pace caused him
to make far more than his usual
number OF errors. The Californian
was very steady. seldom throwing
away a point. with the result that he
ran away with the first set at love.
In the second set kinsey ran into a
lead of al, and then let down. Main
ly as a result of his errors and partly
due to an Improvement in Lacoste's
volleying, the French star pulled up
to 4-all. Kinsey then called halt TO
his opponents advance, stopping his
net attack with passing shots and
cross-courted chops that caught La
coste within the service court.

results of all the lessons which Hud- son has learned from tho Essex and from the Super-Six.
 "On this chassis are mounted First, an open body of striking low hung appearance, and second a finer, larger Essex coach which Is an en- tire1y new and exclusive pxoduct in the motor fleld-namely, a six-cylin- der, five-passenger enclosed car sell ing at less than $1,000.
 Both Cars Hsmdsome.
 Both cars are notably handsome. They are automobiles which you look at once-and instinctively want. The coach particularly Is remarkable in that there is over six inches more leg space between the front and rear seats than in the old Essex. This af- lords real sitting comfort on even the longest drives. There is two inches additional head room above the front seat. On the open car. the top Is. actually only 5 feet 10h inches above the ground, at it's highest point and the front of the top is so low that man of average height can look directly over 1t. The coach Is in proportion, and Is a remarkably trim, low-hung smart appearing car.
 This lowness Is obtained with no sacrifice in road clearance. A new principle in the mounting of bodies is involved. It is highly impor tant factor not only in bettering the general lines of the car, but also in lowering the center of gravity and greatly improving the riding qualities.
 Motor experts who have ridden in the new Essex say that they had never experienced before such feel ing of stability and sureness on the road.
 "The general lines of the coach have been somewhat revised. The compartment space at the rear has been transferred to an interior To- cation at the upper half of the rear seat This change in design has made. possible great improvement in the general appearance of the coach.
 Closed Car Specialist.
 These new cars accentuate the position of the Hudson Motor Car company as the pioneer and special ist in enclosed cars at a moderate price. It is more than two years now since the first coach was brought out. This Is the type of product which has kept Hudson at capacity ever since and which. apparently, the pub lie wants.
 'It has been logical to assume that the coach would undergo improve ments and advancements, and Hud- son feels particularly fortunate to present these betterments In the body at the same time when it Is applying Super-Six principles to the chassis.
