FIRPO'S ONE-TWO is
4 CRIME; SCIENTIFIC
STUFF NOT FOR HIM
FairpIay Advises Luis to
Forget Science and Hit
Naturally.
BY FAIRPEAY.

Copyrsht bv The San Antonio Light.
Atlantic City. y. j.. Sept. IL
The sooner Luis FirpO throws away
all idea of scientific fighting and
battles along lines of his natural
ability, the better it will be for him.
Luis cannot box. according to the
American standard. and he never
will learn 10 box that way. He hasn't
a good left hand and he never will
have one.
Koebee, the clever light-heavy-
weight, weight 1GS pounds and by
far the best boxer in Firnos camp,
has been trying to teach the Argen-
tino 10 come in with his left before
bringing his right over. Jimmy De
Forrest tried the Same thing. Just
now Firpo has it in his head that
this is what he should do. The way
he does it is as follows: He leads
his left. He pauses. Then he steps
back and then lie shoots in his right.
That is his idea Of the well known
one-two wallop. Unless Dempsey is
crazy he will move constantly 10
Luis left in 4laneuvering about the
ring and it is difficult 10 see where
the South American will get much
of chance TO bring his right, his
one deadly weapon. into play. OF
course, he can counter. but his count
ers are 80 slow that an old-timer like
John Lester johnson can back away
from them without difficulty. Firpo
may start off the bout according TO
HOylc, but whc he gets a punch or
two. gets mad and begins to fight.
he will conduct himself in the same
old way. Thus. lie will be soft for
left hooks and left hooks are-or used
to be-DemDsey's best punches. No
one yet knows whether or not Luis
will quit under fire.
He has been developing 4 curious
rcstlesness of late. He does not
keep still a minute. This may not be
due 10 any worry over the approach
ing battle. 1t may be merely the
reactions of a man who is drawing
to the fine point Of training and is
gearing himself IN TO action. Just
the same, the fact remains as report
ed
Stories TO the effect that Dempsey
is trained too fine and his punches
are not working are rife in this camp
and here, too, they have an idea that
Jack has not lived a careful life and
has wasted much of his old physique.
Nj this is accepted as gospel in
tirpos camp and Luis listens eagerly
TO all that is said in this respect.
