WEATHER MAN
NOT OBL|G|NG
Again Interferes With Start
of important County Base

For the second time this season
the weather man on Saturday after
noon stepped in and prevented a
meeting of the Raritan Copper
Works and the South Amboy p. R.
R. Y. M. c. A. baseball teams on the
diamond. This contest is one of a
scheduled county championship SER
les between the two combinations.
Some time ago the two teams met
on the South Amboy baseball
field and the home team got
off to an early lead, but a heavy rain
fell before the required number of
innings yer played. Showers pre-
vented the start of the game on Sat-
urday afternoon.
Manager Hurley of the Ingots had
counted on getting the jump in the
important annual series for he had
acquired the services of Ed Joe
Brown, recently added to the Post
Office roster. Theodore Zehrer,
Aicer Jensen and other local dia-
mond stars. Kuran, the spitball
artist of the Ingot staff, was to have
received the pitching assignment.
Although two games were on
the South Amboy teams schedule
for the afternoon, Manager Thomas
succeeded in bringing the strongest
outfit to this city. Art Young, crack
local southpaw, was to do the pitch
Ing and the association would have
been represented by a strong hitting
and fielding combination.
The first game of this series will
be set down for a Saturday in the
near future.

Coughlin, Clarence Hoffman, Bill

DEMPSEY-FIRPO CONTEST
TO Be WONDERFUL BATTLE
BY BOZ DORMAN
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, July 30:-When an
Irresistible force meets an irresistible
force. what is going to happen?
That is the interesting problem
that probably will be settled soon
when Jack Dempsey. worlds heavy
weight champion, meets Luis Firpo,
who, in the short space Of one year,
has fought himself into the front
rank of the contenders for Jacks
title.
Both men are practically the same
age.
Both are essentially the same type
of fighter.
A rushing attack that crushes
everything in its way; a terrific
punching ability that batters down
everything that opposes it; a nat
ural fighting instinct that takes the
place of gymnasium taught skill; a
joy in combat and a logged determi-
nation that has but one object, the
bringing down of the luckless NOR
tai tossed into the same ring with
them-those are the outstanding
characteristics of the two fighters
whom fate has seen ft to make con-
t~emporaries.

DETROIT, July 80 (By NEA Ser
vice)-Ty Cobb is unq~uestionably the
greatest ball player the game has
ever produced.
Likewise Cobb has been quite sue
cessful as a manager. He probably
has done as well with the Tigers as
any one could.
But as a trader of baseball mate
rial, Cobb is far from the David
Harum class. Cobb's big deal,
Ehmke and a lot of money for Col
Inns and Pratt, which he figured
would make the Tigers a pennant
contender, has proved a "f~livver."
Pitcher Collins, on whom Cobb
banked for 20 ball games, has been
a false alarm. With the season more
than half over, Collins has won only
three games. For nearly a month
he has been out with a bad arm.
Last year Ehmke won II games
for Detroit. This year with the tall
end Boston club he has won 13 of his

Real PugiIistic Classic

It's uncanny, that expression.
The crashing impact of the mighty
Wizards ponderous fist brought no
change.
The sight Of the fallen giant,
brought to his knees by the power
of Firpo's own driving fists, left
that expression unchanged.
1t Is the same brooding look that
Napoleon, "The Man of Destiny"
wore.
To Firpo, Dempsey is nothing
more than the last obstacle in the
way Of the fulhllment of that vision
of the heights that he had when he
climbed the Andes a few short years
ago.
If the Dempsey Carpenter fight
was "the battle of a century" the
Dempsey-Firpo fight should be ''the
battle of the ages"

first 81 starts. He~has been worth
nearly five times as much as Collins.
If Ehmke was placed on the open
market he would bring at least $780,
600. The New York club probably
would be willing to pay twice that
sum for him right now, were it not
for the tact that such sales are no
longer permitted late in the season.
Pratt, figured on to play second
for Detroit, has slowed up SO badly
that instead of being a regular, he
merely fills the role of substitute. He
is also hitting far below his custom
airy gait.
Swapping of Pitcher Ehmke for
Pratt and Pitcher Collins. supposed
to make the Tigers, really blasted
Detroit's hopes.

Dempsey More skiIIfuI

Dempsey has the more skill. In
his own awkward way he is the
better boxer of the two. He is also a
shade the faster in the ring.
His more extensive experience in
the ring, the confidence that goes
with the knowledge that he is the
worlds champion, all combine 10
give him an advantage that would
be hard for the Bull of the Pam
pas" to overcome, were 1t not for
his peculiar mentality
Luis Angel Firpo feels that he is
destined to become the worlds
heavyweight champion. That
through the possession of the title
he is to become a rich man. That
was the vision that came to him as
he climbed the Andes in South
America as h eset forth to his first
fight.
That feeling has never left him
throughout his career in the ring.
It is the secret of the quiet BUSH
nes like way he fights in the ring.
1t is the secret of ire never-chang-
ing expression that carves his face
into a granite mask. a mask unaf-
fected by pain or joy, success or
failure.
