F|RP0 ROBBED OF CHAMPIONSHIP
IN FIGHT WITH DEMPSEY, CLAIM
Chicago Tribune Scribe Brings Charge on Five
Indictments; Says Champion Was Helped
Back in the Ring After Knockdown,

down by hitting Firpo on the break,
away from a clinch. when the latter
turned to sec what the referee had
ordered A stern and Just arbiter
would have bent down e the fallen
gladiator and lifted his arm-the
victor,
Until the NTH knockdown. Demp-
sey never stepped away from the
recumbent Firpo. This, likewise. is
a violation of New York boxing
rules.
Dempsey thrice dashed his fist
into Firpo's face before he had
arisen; a paipabie cause for dis
qualification.
Two Men Help Jack.
Knocked ignominiously into the
press seats. Dempsey never could
have re-entered the ring unaided.
I saw two men lift him to the edge
Of tho platform outside the ropes.
And the powers hat prevail in
Gotham have scissored this shame
full scene from the moving pictures,
which show Dempsey pitching head
long from the ring. and then show
him fightingl Since no one, the
rules command. must help a boxer
back into the battle-ground. Firpo
should have won right there.
Fifth; at the end Of the first
round. after the Argentine had
dropped his hands and started for
his corner, Dempsey. deliberately
and with frightful force, hooked him
on the chin three times with his
left.
Having fought his way to the top
in this savage profession. a cham
pion is entitled to the ledge" in all
decisions-but 1t was reprehensible.
d~isgraceful. and pitiful hat Firpo
did not win the championship he
earned. And this can be said with
out Diminishing in any degree the
tributes that are due the marvellous
Dempsey.

Q. Why has Brooklyn benched
Neis? Please give some dope about
Bailey. who is playing center in
place of Neis. ROBIN.
A. A ~protracted batting slump
and a sudden streak OF poor field

The first scrlmmage OF the year,

but this should be remedled before
the opening game. The line has
been the weak spot on the local

this year Coach Morgan viii put
the greater part Of his time in
coaching the forwards extensively
and d~ofensively.
None of the positions on the team
have been clnched yet but II looks
at this time as though Davis.

candidates for the line whose
abilities are on a par and the ngnt

BY HENRY L. FARRELL


N1HAtNN 1--WE ebRAS GALA1AHN
NEW YORK. Sept. 81. = UNITED
Press ,ENot all of the oldtimers
and only a few Of the wise men Of
the present day are willing to admit
that Luis Angel FirDo Numbered
terribly when he discarded Jimmy
De Forest as his trainer and replaor
ed him with a South American. who
had been schooled IN boxing in a
movie house
When Flrpo announced later he
had won his two fights with Bren-
nan and Willard that he had decided
he could get along without tho
f~ancy-pricad services of DeForest,
the boys set back in tho jury box
and deceed that Firpo had more mis-
takes ready to DO used than he could
ever find place for.
Others, however. figured that It
was not only Firpo's own business
to do as he saw fit, but they found
a trace of wisdom in his decision to
save money and fight his W way.
Ffrpo explained that when he
fought his own way he won without
trouble and that whom he tried to
put into practice the teaching of
his professor. he nearly had his
block knocked off.
Tho previous abb for FYrpo was
that he was not temperamentally
equipped to learn a style OF fighting
SO far removed from tho natural in
stinct in him to club and bring down
1t was said that he could not be
taught because he was too hot-head
ed and that he forgot nj Ibis les
sans when he was pushed in the
kisser.
At Atlantic City when Firpo was
training for the Dempsey fight and
where had gathered all the sages OF
the writing and fighting game, an
other defense was advanced in favor
OF Firpo.
who is there in the United States
really qualified TO teach a fighter
the game and mako him a winner
II was asked.
There was no candidate agreef
upon.
IN the ensuing argument II wa
agreed by all the sages that no on
could have taught "Fitz" TO flEht
that no one could have improved
wolgast, McGdvern or Cans and
was practically agreed that Their
is no trainer in the country VIII
could really teach Firpo how to figh
even II he had the disposition ;
carry out instructions.
In Firpo's case It is not that h
hacks the capacity to learn or tina
he is a dumb-bell. On the contrar
he is a quick thinker. a smart ma
in and out of the ring. but he coul
not be taught 70 do something tina
he felt down in his heart was tn
wrong way for him.
Fighters are born many time
more than they Ire made. Tho great
est trainer or ring professor in tn
world could not make a champion
unless he had the material and eve
when the markings are there. tn
producing is not possible unless idea
