Firpo's job Easy.
Firpo's job was comparatively an
easy one. McAuliffe turned out to be
a fairly flossy gymnasium boxer with
left lab of some responsibility but
no punch at all in his right hand and
no strength in his left with which to
deliver a damaging hook. However,
the man who beats Firpo will have to
be a great puncher, such as Dempsey.

Round 1-McAuliffe landed the
first blow, a left to the head, and
shot in right uppercut as they came
to close quarters. Firpo rushed in
but McAuliffe blocked his punches,
McAuliffe took a hard right to the
neck but laughed as he danced out
Of Firpos reach. They were mixing
at fast clip as the round ended.
Round 2-McAuliffe rushed Firpo
to the ropes jabbing with his left.
Firpo swung his right to the body
twice in succession but failed to
shake the debonaire Detroiter. A
slight trickle fblood came from
McAuliffe's nose and Firpo showed a
slight cut on his lip after an eX
change. A right to the jaw sent Nc
Aulffee sprawling but he was up in
few seconds the bell ending the
round.
Round 3-Firpo rushed from his
corner driving McAullffe about the

floor from right uppercut and arose
only to meet another whitening at

TO SUMMER WITH
COLD MEMORIES
Reporter Gives Several Sug-

get Climbing Mercury
BY FELIX F. BRUNEI

Tom Sims says: When you begin
wishing it were winter, summer has
come"
Now. honest to goodness, haven't
YOU been kicking about the weather?
And don't you think 1t takes a lot of
nerve to do it?
Less than a month ago you wers
kicking as hard as you are now, may
be harder. 1t was showing, a real
blizzard. Why, the kids even got out
and threw snowbaIls at one another.
That was on May 8, just twenty-eight
days ago.
Mercury Climbs
You said you'd be blamed If you
would stay in such place any longer.
Showing in summer, The very ideai
And now you would rather like to
see snow again. wouldn't you?
The maximum temperature that
beautiful May day was Il degrees and
for a while the mercury registered as
low as 81 degrees. Today the mercury
started at IS and rapidly climbed up
into the eighties. The weather man.
J. H. Arlington, said no lower
temperature is in sight
Not Like California
Twenty-eight days ago the rose
bushes were covered with snow. To-
day they are covered with flowers.
Everybody thought the peach crop
was ruined, and now homegrown
strawberries are on the market.
It's some climate, isn't it?
In California the people talk about
going from roses to snow in a short
time. But they have to climb noun
tains TO do It. In Indiana we go from
snow to roses in a few days and eT<
energy is necessary.
How to Keep Cool
1t isn't so hard to keep cool as you
might think. Just look at that girl
going down the street in furs and
think how much cooler you are than
she must De.
Think how long it VIII be before you
have to buy a new overcoat or rescue
the old one from the moths.
Then remember it isn't nearly SO
hot as it seems. It's merely the
humidity that makes you imagine it
is hot.
Wasted Energy.
Remember the couple OF Jumps of
coal still remaining in your bin and
how you worried because you were
afraid it wouldn't hold out Ice costs
less than coal, even if the price has
gone up, and you don't have to shovel
it into the ice box.
If you are fat, the heat is likely to
cause you to become thinner. II you
are thin, think how much hotter a fat
man must be.
And when winter comes again, don't
waist so much energy wishing 1t
were summer.
