LUIS ANGEL FIRPO SAYS HE IS CONFIDENT AND UNAFRAID OF CHAMPION JACK DEMPSEY
Firpo Waits Like Gagged Lion For
 Call To Battle

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-(By Asso- o.Ated Press )-Like lion In cage. Luis Angel Flrpo awaits in the seclu- sion of sixth floor apartment up- town for the call to battle with Jack Dempsey in an arena just out of sight across the flats and heights of Harlem,
 If a caged lion were to be denied his daily ration of meat for a week he would be like Firpo is today. The big Argentine, upon whom the Latin hopes for fistic glory. is fighting mad.
 This ferocity will be forced upon the worlds champion when the pair meet for the heavyweight title Fri day night. It is a ferocity that the South Americans trainers have la bored to develop in the three weeks of preparation at Atlantic City.
 Firpo's friends think him invinci- ble.
 Dempsey" they say, lis a great boxer, hard hitter, willy ringman. But Firpo is great fighter; he can absorb punishment like a blotter takes ink; Dempsey will hit him and often, perhaps, but Firpo's powers will not be lessened. His mighty right will not denied"
 This morning Firpo left the apart ment for short walk along River side drive when only the early riders along the bridge path and a few be- fore breakfast ozone lovers were out.
 Horatio Lavalle announced that, he, Hugh Gartland and Charles Vega probably would be in the Argentine's corner during the fight. Lavalle and Vega will do the direction and Cart land will handle the water bucket and sponge.
 There were many calls at the Firpo apartment but none was permitted inside. Lavalle declared Firpo did not want to be bothered. A continuous stream of messages of encouragement and wishes of success ran into the home. They came from all parts of the world The majority were from Buenos Aires, but there were many from other South American cities, some from Italy, others from France and Spain. As each one was read to him Luis Angel inquired the name of the sender and just grunted.

WIN TODAY WILL GIVE BIRDS FLAG

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 13.-The winner of the Southern association pennant probably will be settled to- morrow either at Nashville or Chat tanooga. The standing of the two leaders, New Orleans and Mobile, is such that Mobile to capture the tro- phy must win every game remaining on it's schedule while New Orleans must lose all. Defeat for Mobile at the hands of Chattanooga tomorrow even though the Pelicans should lose to Nashville would give the pennant to New Orleans. A Pelican victory, even If Mobile defeated the Lookouts, would bring the pennant to New Orlans.
 Danforth pitched fine game for St. Louis despite defeat. Heiinach of the Athletics gave way to a pinch hitter in the ninth and Harris finished the game.

DOWN FREA!GGi AIRPLANES
Many Recently LOST in Ruhr
Starts Strange Theory.

Paris.-A startling theory has been
propounded to account for the num-
Der of airplanes belonging to the
Paris Prague service which have fallen
in German territory.
1t is believed by many officers of the
French air service in the Rhineland
and the Ruhr that the Germans have
discovered a means of stopping the
action of the magnetic of airplanes in
flight. The Germans are credited with
first having found a way in Berlin to
stop automobiles within a specified
area and the French believe they have
applied the method to airplanes.
The pilots and passengers forced to
land are allowed to go free, but the
plane and the freight it may be car
rying are confscated, the machine
being, according to French reports,
sawed to pieces.
Since January / Germany has re-
gained the liberty of the air so far
as civil aviation is concerned, under
the Versailles treaty, but they are I'M
able to prevent foreign military planes
from flying over German territory.
Since the occupation of the Ruhr be-
gan they have refused to supply any
weather reports which are so neces-
sary to successful operation of the air
services
