LII ARTHUR
HAS HIS SAY

Jack johnson again: This man.
Firpo, is no great fighter. No man
Is great fighter who just trades
punches.
THAT goes for Jack Dempsey. too
Dempsey is Just lucky in that there
Is no man just now who IS clever
enough TO stand away and poke him
as he comes tearing In.
II think Al Kaufman could have
whipped Flrpo just as easily as
Dempsey did.
II don't say Dempsey and Flrpo
didn't make n good fight They sure
did. But Dempsey didn't make a sci
entific fight
"ff he had tried TO fight Bob Fltz
simmons as he did Flrpo tho other
night old Bob would have Just meas
ured him as he came In and knocked
him dead with one punch"
