NEW YORK, September 1i.--Chair-
man Muldoon of the New York boxing
commission today suggested that both
boxers be we'll shaven when they
climbed through the ropes. Dempsey,
who usually comes into the ring with
thick stubble on his face, agreed. He
was wearing a light beard today. Firpo,
who arrived sporting a young pine
forest, argued the point with the chair
man and was permitted to come in
lodging the barber. Firpo said he
would not wear the blue, white and
blue around his belt when he came III
and the chairman bade him goodbye
AS the door to the office was opened
Firpo looked out to see the hall and
stairway jammed as tightly as a sub
way train in rush hour. But the in
convenience Of wading through only

The examining physicians were frank
in saying after testsing both lighters
that they regarded Dempsey as a ''su-
perior athlete to the Argentine, al
though they admitted the margin was
small. Their opinion was not communi-
