Dempsey Prefers
Drab COlOrs

New York, Sept. 1.-THE bathrobes
that boxers wear into the ring have
always. been in wonderful color COM
binations. A lemon and black check
ed robe with purple trimmings has
been made Famous by Luis Angel
Firpo. Other ideas range from start
ling shades Of color, with mono
grams, or names Of the wearer blaz
oned thereon, to a hodge-podge Of
shades and figures that fairly take
the breath away.
Jack Dempsey, the worlds cham
pion has yet to appear in bathrobe
when he makes his entry into the
ring for the defense of his title. An
old sweater, either faded red or pur-
pie, a towel thrown over his head and
shoulders is all the wrapping the
champion affects. His trunks are
invariably white, with his country's
colors knotted at the waist.
In his training camp Dempsey at
fects dressing gown Of dark pur-
Pile. He wears this during the jour-
ney from his cottage to the ring and
back again.
There is nothing about Dempsey's
wearing apparel, in or out, Of the
ring, that can be termed "loud. lin
fact his color tastes are extremely
modest.

DEMPSEY LIKES
CARD GAMES
WITH PALS
Although He Likes to Show
Them Up and Win Every
Hand He Enjoys the
Game at His Camp

Saratoga Springs, Sept. 11.-Jack
Dempsey likes to play cards with
certain of his friends. He also likes
to win. And when the games are on
in camp, he is particular that he does
win.
The worlds heavyweight champion
admits that he likes to stage .
''frame-up" and then tell his fellow
players how he has put it over on

tricks with the cards for hours in
order to sneak over something during
the progress of u game. He generally
has marked deck around that he
rings in unless his camp mates. all
Of whom are wise to the champions
hobby watch him closely.
As the camp games are always for
fun, with no money changing hands,
the camp-mates get as big "kict"
out of the play as Jack does.
While he was training at Atlantic
City two years ago for his match
with Georges Carpenter, someone
brought to camp a tiny roulette
wheel. Mild gambling was immediate
ly in order Finally Dempsey got TIE
wheel and put it out of sight. 1t re-
appeared a few days later and Demp-
sey announced that he had found a
System" to beat it. After he demon
strated this, he told the camp-mates
that he had tempered with the wheel
until it would "do as it was told
Pinochle, hearts and "rummy" are
Dempsey's favorite games.

LEGAL BLOCK
REMOVED FOR
BIG FIGHT
Court Rules That Dempsey
Firpo Fight May be Staged
Friday Night
A MA STA R T E d

New York, Sept. 1l.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-With the, removal
yesterday of all legal obstacles that
have beset the path of the Dempsey
Firpo heavyweight title match, work
was rushed on the additions to the
Polo Grounds arena, advance ticket
sales doomed and the boxers put
redoubled energy in the finishing
stages of their training campaigns
for the battle next Friday night.
The threatened entanglements were
brushed aside in supreme court when
Justice Hagarty denied the applica-
cation of Harry Wills, negro chal-
lenger,> for a temporary injunction
against the championship struggle.
Wills charged that he had been un-
justly Disseminated against by the
state athletic commission and that
his challenge to Dempsey more than
a year ago had been ignored, but the
court ruled that he had put forward
no basis for interference with the
forthcoming bout. :.

F,rpo cannot understand his
would-be borrowers, and much of the
force of their appea! is lost in inter
probation.
His sparring partners deny that
Firpo is close.
"They don't make them any bet
ter than Firpo," says Joe Mccain,
who has helped condition Firpo for
several bouts.
''He has, always been liberal with
me in money matters.
Gas for the buns that try to pam
handle him, l don't blame him for
turning 'em down. They'd keep q
man broke if he fell for all of 'em. y
Valentino Suarez, who ordinarily
keeps the Uraguayan consul-general
in New York in a happy, well-fed
state of mind, is attending to the
culinary needs OF, Firpo.
Valentino was lent to Firpo, be.
cause his mind was so continually
en- his fistic idol, that the consul was
afraid he might make a mistake in his
salad, and use mustard instead Of
mayonnaise.
One daily item of the menus that
he prepares for Firpo is "pucheroF
A mysterious name like that should
possess some mystic virtue to it's par
takers, but, questioned as to its COM
ponent parts, Suarez grins, and says
"Puchero." 1t is what re Americans
call re Irish stew"
Another illusion shattered.
Firpo has been called slow and
awkward.
Ask, Frank Kobele, his sparring
partner, about it,
"Slow?" he says. "Say, that bird
is slow in the same way that bear
is slow.
"Tigers have the rep for speed,
but ask any anipal trainer and he'll
tell you that Bear can move some
fast himself, despite this apparent
awkwardness.
"And it's the same way with
Firpo. He's a mighty sight faster
than he looks. If you don't believe it,
just get in ring with him."

Jack Dempsey revealed an amazing
burst of speed in five rounds Of box

that he was ready to defend his title

Grounds Friday night.
>The worlds heavyweight champion,
satisfied with the power back of his

two days to shaping his judgment of
distance. Jack Kearns,, manager of
the titleholder, before leaving for
New York last night, said Dempsey
would box today and Wednesday.

Mickey Walker, worlds weller

There is nothing in the rules that

CREPE NOT
GOOD LUCK
IN JAPAN |
Japanese Baseball Team
Blames Crepe Arm Bands
For Loss of Games

Toxic, Sept. 1.-THE members of
the Azuba Middle School baseball
team believe thew have discovered
why they have been losing their
games lately.
They decided they wanted baseball
uniforms such as are worn by Amer
lean teams. They saw a photograph
of the Cleveland American team in
a magazine and took it to a tailor
and told him to make uniforms For
them just like those Of the "In-
dians."
The uniforms were made. Then
the Azubas began to lose. A. fan
from America saw the Japanese
playing and asked them why, each of
them wore band of crepe around
his left arm. The Japanese denied
they were in mourning and said they
assumed the black band was part OF
the uniform.
It was learned the photograph of
the Cleveland team was taken while
its members we're in mourning for
batter Chapman who died after being
hit on the head for ball.

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 11.-(By

heavy sparring sessions, made more
interesting bye their liveliness, were
done today by Luis Angel Firpo,
who meets Jack Dempsey for the
worlds title in New York Friday
night. The Argentine worked for
speed, practiced defense and gave his
jaw and stomach the punch test. His
sparring mates, John Lester Johnson,
Young Bob Fitzsimmons and Joe Nc
CAIN, as' usual, left the ring pretty

The South American seemed to
have acquired the knack of shoot
ing, left, then fright, and viceversa,
instead of launching the famed
right, then backing away and letting
it 60 again, He saw the effect Of
this sort of punching and appeared
pleased.
There had been talk early today
that Firpo's left arm was giving him
trouble, but there was no evidence
of soreness during the workout.

NEA Service Writer

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. l1.-Luis
Angel Firpo is no dumbbell.
He. had been listening to his friend
and interpreter, Carlos Vega, read
him an article by leading sports
writer in which the fight with
Dempsey was called farce on ac-
count Of Firpo's supposed weakness
on defense. (Firpo has all the sport
ing news read to him.
Turning to Vega he said: $50
Senior Dempsey will cut me to
pieces. | am wide open for every
punch.
Look at my face carefully. Look
at my ears. Do you see any scars.
Are my ears what you call 'cauli-
flower
"No? Perhaps Luis face does not
take the full force of those blows.
Perhaps his face is moving away,
when they land"
A good story is going the rounds Of
the fight fans in New York regarding
FIrpo's canniness in money matters.
A magazine which is devoted to
sport and which makes practice of
running photos of athletes on the
front cover, for which advertising
the athlete is supposed to contribute,
sent their representative to see Firpo.
The proposition to run Firpo's pic
ture on the front cover for the
modest sum of $500 finally was &C.
copied after two hours negotiations
through an interpreter
Two days after the appearance of
the magazine on the stands with Fir
POS photo duly printed ON the front
page, Firpo appeared at the office
Of the magazine with a request for
$500, which he thought he had coming
for permitting his picture on the
front page.
Much Of Firpo's tightness in mon
ey matters can be laid to the fact
that he does not fall for the touches
of the panhandlers who beset every
man in the pugilistic limelight.
