South American Boxer
MayNOtF Fight Dempsey,
Battles WeineFt Mon.

Dempsey contest, is close to DeFor-
est, possibly only through the trans
action OF ring business.
Firpo, over-rating himself as re-
suit of his continued ring successes.
decided to bring his own kind in for
a cut of the American money and in
this way the Long Branch veteran
trainer lost out. The South Ameri-
cans lack of managing brains was
brought out in the booking of
string of set-ups throughout the
country, while the champion he is to
meet in September has started train
ing. Perhaps this is the South
American method of training. Firpo
dislikes the North American system,
saying he forgets all he learned in
the gym when he steps into the ring.
Like other boxers who came to
this country to climb in the boxing
world, the South American boxer
will never make arg advancement
unless he has someone with pull"
in the game behind him. Without
DeForsst or Rickard pulling for him,
Firpo will soon fall into discard.
Unless kept out of future matches If
successful in the bout wit h Weinert,
ne Argentine battler will never
meet Dempsey at the Polo Grounds
on September IA.

Ruth Better than HeiIman in
Game Yesterday-Yanks
and Giants Lose

the Detroit Tigers by an 11-3 score
and the Giants dropped fifteen in
ming battle to the st. Louis Cardi-
nails. The final score .. shf latter
game was 1912.
Hoyt started on the mound for the
Yankees and the only feature as far
as the New York nine was concern
ed, was the gain. made by Babe"
Ruth in the American league bat
ting race. Harry Heilman Of the
Tigers now has a lead of two ten
thousandths of a point over the home
run slugger. Ruth obtained one hit
in two official times at bat, while
the Detroit outfielder made two hits
in five official trips to the plate.
McGraw's men handed a fifteen
inning seesaw affair to the Cardinals
mainly as a result of eight errors.
The Giants piled UP a big lead in
the first inning, kept edging up in
succeeding innings, knotted the score
with three runs in the ninth and
after tallying two counters in the
eleventh, allowed the Cardinals to
tie the score in the last half of the
session. The westerners made the
winning run in the last of the fifteen

PORTING WORLD IDLE TODAY nv MEMORY OF PRESIDENT
Sport Events Cancelled
Out of Respect For
GredteStEXecutiVeFan

Athletes and fans in every branch
of sport, mourn today the passing
Of one Of the greatest Presidential
sport fans in the history of the
United States. Warren Gamaliel
Harding, the twenty-ninth president
Of this country, died in San Fran
cisco a week ago last night and is
being buried in his home town,
Marion, Ohio, today.
A week ago, athletes laid away
their instruments of play out of re-
spect to the dead executive and
today a day of mourning, they join
the rest of the world in refraining
from their usual daily duties, as a
mark Of respect fos the President
who served his country well since
the start of his term over two years
ago.
Golf and baseball were the prin-
cipal sports of the dead President
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-08-10

and he was an active participant In
the first mentioned game. Il is be-
iieved he attended more baseball
games, mostly major league contests.
than any previous President of the
United States. He was a real fol-
lower of the Cincinnati Reds and
since his coming to Washington,
has followed the Washington Sena-
tors considerably. The President was
delighted through participation in a
chat" with Babe" Ruth, Iris
Speaker. Ty Cobb or other shining
lights of the diamond. President
Harding also was interested In va
rious other branches Of sport.

CHARLEY WHITE STILL
HUNGERS FOR TITLE

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Charley
White is the miracle man" of the
ring.
Fact is he's fistic freak.
At 80, when most boxers have
passed out Of the spotlight, Charley
White is knocking at the door for
the lightweight championship.
Whites most recent feat was his
knockout of Richie Mitchell. Since
Benny Leonard has disposed of Lew
Tender, Charley looms as one of the
few lightweights capable of pressing
the championship.
A title bout in September with
Leonard practically has been as
sured him. 1t will be another big
chance-probably his last one.
Charley says he intends to make the
most of it and feels certain he will
win by a knockout.
White has been fighting 18 years.
Perhaps he will follow in the foot
steps OF Johnny Dundee, who after
years of fighting, in which he met
all corners, finally annexed the
featherweight title.
Was Frail Youngster
Poor health, rather than desire
IQdQ6 lighter Ol AldTley WH1les ~
frail youngster, the family doctor
prescribed plenty of air and exercise
as the best possible tonic. Living in
Chicago. he frequented a gymnasium
used by fighters as their training
quarters.
One day, while sparring with
Johnny Coulon, White f1oored that
well known performer. The feat
was the talk of the gym.
After several years as a prelim-
mary boy, White advanced to the
finals, his first big thing being an
eight-round bout with Abe Attell.
That was in 1909 when he was 1S.
He soon outgrew the featherweight
division.
Third Chance at Title
Unlike most fighters. White has
had several shots at the lightweight
championship. When he meets
Leonard in September it will be the
third time that he has battled for
the title in that division.
White is one of the most danger
Gus punchers in the game. There is
always the chance that he will put
over one winning wallop. His
favorite blow Is a left hook.
If Charley fails again, it will be
lack of aggressivenesss plus slow
thinking. rather than LACK of ma
tural ability.
