baseball championship, are due to
play the Alamo-Peck Indians at

ble-header. These are the remaining
two games of series of three. Fred

backed by large corps of rooters.
Two Texas League hurlers may face
each other on the mound in one 70
the games, for Dummy" Collins, b.

FIRPO LOOKING FOR
SOMEONE TO TEACH
HIM BOXING-CHEAP
Johnson and Corbett Too
High-Priced-Some
Fight Echoes.
By FAIRPLAY.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light
New York. Sept. 1S.--Luis Firpo
is looking for a man to teach him
boxing. Several names have been sug-
getscd TO the big South American,
but he has not taken Il fancy TO any
OF them. Jack johnson was one. Jim
Corbett was another. But they would
want fancy figures for their work
and, while they would earn it, Louis
Is not given to paying fancy salaries
10 anyone.
a whole lot OF bunk has been writ
ten about Firpo and his boxing, any
way. The chances really are that the
more he learns the less effective he
will be. Firpo trying to box would
always be joke, whereas Firpo the
fighte-, the ding-dong hitter, is a
man who an opponent has a right to
regard as dangerous.
Another thing In another year II
Firpo goes on eating tile way he does
and raising his blood pressure-wnich
is already high-he will be less of a
match for Dempsey than he was the
other night. Some folks who tninB
with their feet are beginning to say
that Dempsey will be afraid ever to
meet Firpo again. Say. Luis big
chance to beat Dempsey came when,
Jack, over-confident over his easy
knockdowns of the big fellow, walked
in carelessly, thinking only of finish
ing his man and getting a clip on the
jaw which he never should have per-
mitted to land. 1t was this blow that
Jared Dempsey and got him in such
condition that Firpo could IRISH him
against the ropes.
In the course of rushing Jack TO
the ropes, Firpo hit him upon the
head and jaw many times with that
right. And yet Dempsey was not out
and was not even dazed. The blow
that sent Jack out of the ring must
have been on the shoulder as Jack
says, otherwise he never would have
climbed back into that ring again,
A blow on the jaw sufficiently hard
to lift a man from his feet and SEMI
him flying on all tours into space is
some wallop and no man in the world
could receive it and not slumber long
and profoundly.
That goes for Dempsey.
So, judging from the alert man
ner in which he crawled back through
the ropes and renewed his combat
against the big man, it must have
been a shoulder blow with something
of a push following after it.
A little inside story of this fight is
that Kearns had fixed it up with
Dempsey to wade into Firpo from the
| start so that the affair would look like
a fight and thus satisfy the custom
ers: this because it was known that il
Jack tried to box with Luis, the Ar
gentino would look so bad that til
bout would be Kissed and booed to
fare-thee-well. =.
Accordingly, Jack tore into Lui
and made a real hummer out OF TIN
affair. and nearly lost his title. Mex
time Dempsey may consult his own IN
terests first. -
