justice must be done to the ex-solders.
The greatest good this committee can do investigate

nInited Press Spntrta Editorl

NEW YORK. Sept. IA Omitted
Press).-No bier bouquets need be
prepared for the battler who ends
on his back when Jack Dempsey
and Luis Firpo meet tonight at the
Polo Grounds.
They are both primarily business
men and their future trade will not
be npoiled by a tap on the chin.
Dempsey, as an ex-champion. can
fight oftener in a year and make
more money than he did as the
champion. He would be relieved of
many OF the responsibilities. worries
and drains that attend the
holding OF the title.
Firpo. as the defeated challenger.
will be an attractive card as long as
he wants to remain in tho United
States and pursue pugilism az a
trade.
Dempsey has said that as soon
as he In beaten he is going to retire
from the ring. but II is doubtful that
he will ever cut himself away from
such a profitable business as long as
he is able to maintain his position
as a good card
Firpo, as the new champion, Of
course. would have a million dollars
or more extended TO him for the
mere picking. with all his color. his
unusual temperament and the ro-
nance around his career. he perhaps
would make tho title worth even
more than Dempsey got out OF II.
and Dempaey made modern fighting
worth the big money that II is.
Win or lose, Firpo. Is matched to
fight Harry Wills In South America
next April, II he loses. however. II
Is possible that Tex Richard will not
care to promote the match. II he
wins, he will fight wills IN the Unit
ed Statesmen In South America

fight wills. Richard merely acted
upon the foresight that has made
him tho greatest Of all promoters.
He was first to see the possibilities
in Firpo and he does not wnnt to
take any chance on losing him in
the future
Regardless Of who wins. Harry
wills will get the next chance at the
championship. To get Firpo. all he
has To do is Il sign a contract with
Richard and the fight will need
nothing but the selection OF a place
and n date. Perhaps New York
would be tho scene. as the perplex.
ing color angle would not be 10 tick

Juana. and as he Is a reputable pro-
moter with a good place to stage the
bout, there is little doubt that Jack
Kearns would be willing to sign tho
champion to an agreement.
Dempsey is not afraid OF wills.
Those who intimate that he is timid
about fighting the big colored steve
dore have for saying so that
have no connection with Dempsey.
1t is a part of a bally-hoo.
II Firpo should win the title. he
will waste no time in dashing &c

idolizo him what a worlds heavy
weight champion looks like. There
is no danger that Ffrpo will run
home and put tho title in the vault
He likes the dough too well and he
knows what that title would DO

Firpo Will learn also that every
thing is not peace and bliss for a

opponents few and far between and
he will hear the razzberry directed

into hiring n manager or be swamp

Dempscy's biggest chance tonight
is to win something that he has
neve possessed - popularity with
the public
II he should win IN two or three
rounds from the South American,
he has n chance to make himself
stand out as the worthy titleholder
that many claim he is not.
OF course. there will be those who
will say that he knocked over n set.
up. that he lodged wills to pick UP
a fortune u OF q poor foreigner,
but Dempsey will not win tonight
from a set.up.
Firpo may look like he was easy
after the fight. but II he is knocked

was a set-up as It was that Dempsey
