F|RPO-DEMPSEY
BOUT SURE THIS
YEAR, SAYS TEX
Pm No Promoter If ! Don't
Stage IT, Richard Tells
ScribeS.
By HENRY FARRELL

Oulbcu 0pOIbS
NEW YORK. July 1s.-Another
promise OF something definite about
the Dempsey-F 1rpo heavyweight cham
pionship match was made today by
Tex Richard.
There are just few details to get
Strengthened out before I can make
definite announcement Of when and
where the match is to be held" Rick
ard said.
Before End Of Year
Rickard was willing to say posi-
lively that the South American would
meet Dempsey for the title before the
end of the year, either in the United
States or South America
"I have FIrpo under contract 10
meet Dempsey this year and II am
unable to make the match, I am no
promoter" Rickard said.
Jack Kearns, manager Of the cham
pion, takes the stand that he does not
care where the fight is to be held.
He is more interested In the date,
as he wants to send Dempsey against
Firpo and Wills before the end of
the year.
What KeaFns Desires
Kearns prefers Labor day for the
F'frpo match and he wants the Wills
bout in or near New York around
worlds series time.
Getting a worlds heavyweight
championship near the time of the
baseball classic may cause the major
magnates to froth some more and
they have been frothing plenty all
summer because so many fine boxing
cards have been placed in competi-
ton with the grand old national pas
time"

day with each trying to overpower
the other in an effort to capture the
rub" contest
In the battle Tuesday the A. A

fine pitching of Cliff Markle, who had

CUBAN STAR IS
ACE OF MORAN'S
MOUND WORKERS
Team on Giants Heels as
Great Hur!er Turns in
Fifteenth Victory,
BY BILLY EVANS

Often one pitcher going at top speed
makes a ball club.
This is particularly true if the club
didn't bank strongly on the showing
of that pitcher.
Adolfo Luque of the Cincinnati club
is easily the pitching sensation of the
major leagues. He has made the Reds
a dangerous contender for the fast
going New York Giants.
Last season Rixey, by his sensa-
tional work, kept the Reds in the race.
This year Luque has supplanted Rixey
and then some.
Jinx Changes to Rixey
The ink that pursued Luque last
year seems to be on the trail CT Rixey
this season Inability of Luque to
&in consistently last year was a big
kandicap to Pat Moran in his quest
for the pennant.
Getting away to a bad start in the
spring Of 1922 Luque had his troubles
winning, no matter how well he
was win thirteen and lose twenty-three
games for a percentage much lower
than that recorded by his club.
When the 1923 campaign opened
Manager Moran had his doubts about
Luque. Some of the experts on the
Nstional League circuit figured the
Cuban was slipping. Luque immedi-
ateIy proceeded to upset the dope and
has kept on doing Il.
Fifteen Victories
Luque, including yesterdays double
victory over Boston, has scored if
teen victories and suffered only two
defeats. Strangely enough, the Chi
cage Cubs won both games by the
scores of to 1 and 2 to 0. Luque
pitched brilliantly in the two defeats,
the breaks Of the game, which went
against him, deciding the issue.
In the first game at Boston yes
terday he was taken out for a pinch
hitter and Rixey hurled the last three
innings, but Luque got credit for the
win. Then he returned to the box in
the second fray of the day and won
easily.
OF the fifteen games won by Luque,
seven came in row. Only thirty
runs have been made off Luque's de-
livery in his remarkable pitching per
Torrance covering twenty-five games,
in several of which he acted as relief
.n2ttcher. An additional proof of his
Effectiveness can be CLEANED from the
fact that he leads the National League
in strike-outs.

The Big Game.

These are .record.breaking times.
Aviators are setting new marks in

the endurance points for continuous
shufiing. Sugar is staging a come.
back in price that threatens to break
the wartime mark. Yesterday base
ball, the national game Of this coun-
try, reached a new record in attend
ance. The new park Of the New
York Yankees Of the American League
was opened with 74,200 people present.
some 28. 600 more than ever witnessed

ularity Of the game played by hired
men who may be shifted from city to
city lies in the fact that the game
itself is q spectacle that appeals to
the American sense OF sport. 1t is
a contest in. which there are no cer-
.ainties, in which even the IowliOst
player may at any time shine as q
star, and the least hopeful team may
turn the tables upon its opponent. It
is that uncertainty that keeps the
game alive. The action Is continuous,
brisk and easily observed, no matter
how large the crowd. The fine points
of play are intimately understood by
the spectators. The names and rec
ords OF the individual players are we'll
known. The peculiarities Of eminent
performers are discussed by multi
tudes throughout the season. The
personal contact between the public
and the sport is close. -
That IL why nearly 100000 people
yesterday left their occupations in q
busy city and journeyed several miles
to see base ball game, three-fourths
of them gaining admittance. And it
was appropriate that that occasion
should be. marked by a victory for
the home team. earned by the home
run of the King of Swat" upon
whom is now concentrated the atten-
ton of a vast number Of American
lovers Of the sport.

light into. the Avenue that sparrows
will not 60 to roost. chickens will not
close an eye and people will not know
when day ends and night begins.
These mobiles are remarkable fellows.
but Washingtonians who have not the
honor OF owning red fez should not
let them do all the work. The Dis.
trict government and Avenue men
should give some light to the old wide
way, and there should be such q show

Training in Citizenship.

Reports received at the War De-
partuent and just compiled indicate
that more than 100000 men will be
under arms" this summer in the.
various Army camps undergoing in.
tensive military instruction. They
will mainly come from the National
Guard, the organized reserves and
the Reserve Oficers' Training Corps,
and there will be. in addition, many
citizens who are not associated with
any organizations, but who wish to
keep At and to learn the rudiments
Of potential soldiery.
This number of 100000 does not,
OF course. represent the reserve mill
tary strength of this country. If
multiplied by ten il would not be suf-
fcient for effective participation in
any major war. But these SOC, ,000
may be regarded as the possible Of
ficers Of an emergency army if such
should become necessary for the ma
tional defense. .,
When the United States went into the
great war 1t was seriously handicapped
by lack of efficient officers. During a.
brief period preceding training camps
had been conducted and a few thou
sand men had received instructions
which enabled them to take commits
sions in the hastily organized army.
in numbers and lacking in readiness
for responsibility and service. Add
tional hastily organized training
camps were necessary to produce
more officers, while the men Of the
rank and file were being themselves
trained. The worst handicap under
which this country suffered In the
spring Of 1917 lay in the fact that
there was a dearth Of men competent
to train and drill the troops them
selves.
1t would be well il there were
facilities for a million men in training
every year in time OF peace and if
the million presented themselves at
the camps. Without any prospect OF
war, even with the most definite as
surance OF peace, II such could be
given, such an annual training would
be nationally beneficial. Every man
who goes into camp Of this char
acter is improved physically. is made
sounder in his citizenship and be-
comes of greater service TO the state
by his participation. 1t should re.
quire no hint Of war prospect TO
induce these younger Americans thus
to keep fit and to make themselves
ready for possible service. The fact
that 100000 of them will take their
places in the training ranks this sum.
mer is a gratifying indication that
this important lesson Of preparedness
| Is being learned.

Motor Reciprocity Assured.

Gas tax or no gas tax, automobile
reciprocity between the District Of Co.
lumbia and Maryland will go into
effect on January l, 1924" This
cheering message was given Washing
ton motorists by Gov. Albert Ritcfie,
speaking before the Chamber of Com
merce Tuesday night.
That this assertion brings joy to
the heart Of every local motorist goes
without saying. 1t means that the
long standing war between the state
and the District is at. an end; that
sentiment in Maryland has undergone
a change, and that National Capital
motorists can soon use the highways
Of every state in the Union on their
own tags. -
When Congress, at its last session,
failed to pass the gas tax. a measure
designed to bring about reciprocity
with the neighboring state. hopes for
early interchange of tag privileges
dwindled. District motorists felt that
with Maryiand's strict motor laws
and with Maryland's former cold at
titude toward local autoists, reci
procity had become thing Of the
far distant future.
But even at that discouraging time
Maryland officials showed an entirely
new conception Of the problem and
announced that they would endeavor
to find some way to grant reciprocity
if Congress passed the gas tax early
in the next session.
Gov. Ritchies statement anent
reciprocity means three things-tha,
| Maryland wants the gas tax adopted
in the District; that every effort will
be made by the governor to bring
about reciprocity, even if it is not
adopted, and that Maryland is anxious
to cooperate with the National Capi
tai in the belief that the time has now
come when old scores must be for
gotten and the two communities work
together in harmony and good will.
Every District as we'll as every
Maryland motorist should use his in
; f1uence in Congress for gas tax fol
| Washington. 1t has been found highly
J successful in the states and is a fail
method OF taxing auto owners.
! Gov. Ritchie has shown fine spirit
Of cooperation. Local motorists must
show the same spirit in seeking tt
have the gas tax adopted. Now tina,
a firm foundation has been created fol
peaceful motoring relations, District
motorists, and Maryland motorists
too. should let nothing disturb ths
new-found harmony.
