ATLANTIC CITY. N. j.. Aug. 80.
-By The Associated Press.)EAfter
a day of idleness, enforced by rain
that soaked his training ring and
made the air SO chilly his trainers
were afraid he would contract 4
cold, Luis Angel Firpo planned to-
day to return to work in prepara-
ton for his title match with Jack
Dempsey, September IA.
The same program. morning road
work, inside punching Of a heavy
sand bag and sparring with four
men in the afternoon was posted on
tho bulletin board and Luis Angel
wus eager to get going again. He
fairly eats work these days.
Encouraged by the progress he
has made in the development Of his
left hand and the improvement Of
his right. he is anxious to carry on
sven moro than his trainers pre-
scribe. But they are holding him
down for the present. awaiting a
time when the corps of punch back
stops will be reinforced by four or
Nv fast working boxers OF the
lighter classes. When these men
arrive Luis Angel Is to be "loosed."

CHAMPION GOES BACK TO HIS
TRAINING GRIND after REST

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. T,
Aug. 3o.-By The Associated Press.)
After q three-day layofr. Jack
Dempsey slipped back into his train
ing grind today with indications
that he will continue work without
further Interruption. until he hn-
ishes his conditioning to meet Luis
Angel Firpo in New York.
I'll keep right on training until
possibly two days before the fght."
Dempsey said. 81 may take It q
bit easier lear the finish but for tho
next ten days I intend to go at top
speed. My sparring STAFF will be
strengthened and 1 will be able to
get in plenty of hard work"
Judging from Dempsey's CONVEX
sation. tho heavyweight champion
expects to get some valuable infor-
nation concerning F1rpo's boxing
skill and punching ability from Jack
McAuliffe. the Detroit heavyweight.
who was knocked out IN three
rounds by the Argentine. McAulifre
reported In camp yesterday as one
of Dempsey's sparring partners.
The title holder displayed curiosity
concerning Firpo's fighting char
acteristics. shooting questions to his
, 1923-08-30

visitors who have seen Firpo in
action.
How big is this birdf Ia no big
ger than I ann" Dempsey asked.
Another question was "can he
sock with his right hand7 Does he
swing tho punch or shoot It over
short7 Can he be hit with a short
left hook7"
Dempsey said he intended to learn
the answer to these questions from
McAuliffe. regarded as one OF the
best boxers in the heavyweight divi-
sion. Tho champion is slightly
worried because his cold has not re-
sponded to treatment as quickly as
he would like. He has taken almost
every remedy suggested to him by
sympathetic callers. every one OF
whom has a positive cure. Dempsey
said he expected to work It out OF
his system by his strenuous training
program.
Farmer Lodge, tho Minnesota
heavyweight, with a reputation for
absorbing punishment. is expected
in camp tomorrow. Jack Burke is
ready to take his turn against
Dempsey. as a result of a three-day
rest.

By HENRY L. RRE
UNITED Press Sports Editor)


NEW YORK. Aug. so.-United
Press.HNo night OF the hectic sum-
mer of lights and fights has had the
experts guessing as much as the
worlds middleweight championship
bout here tomorrow night between
Johnny Wilson. the title holder. and
Harry Greb, that great. little piece
OF Pittsburgh fighting machinery.
As a rule. in doping and in betting
on the outcome Of a fight. the cham
pion possesses the known quantities
and what exporting is to be done
rovolves around the prospects of the
challenger.
In this unusual case II Is Just the
opposite. Everyone knows the cap
abilities OF Greb. and no one is sure
Of what Wilson will turn out to be
when he is subjected to the real test
that he is bound to face.
Wilson sort OF sneaked into the
championship and no has sneaked
more as the champion. He won the
title from Mike O'Dowd in Boston
on a decision and O'Dowd shouted
: AAo NOAAu NiAN Lb Idd Dtth lAiuo
the victim OF larceny. Wilson gave
him a return bout in New York.
and although he failed to show any
kind of championship ability. he did
beat O'Dowd. and in the poverty.
stricken condition of the class II
meant that he was the champion
sure enough.
Wilson fought the rugged Bryan
Downey in Cleveland and he was
floored and saved by what the ring
siders maintained was a most gener,
Il and considerate count on the
part of the referee. The champion
then took Downey back on for a
~no-decision thing in Jersey City and
tho exhibition was SO terrible that
Tex Richard refused to pay Wilson
his purse.
More troubles followed for the
champion. When he tried to gel
his money, Richard forced him tc
sign an agreement to fight Harry
Greb. Wilson signed the agreement
got his money and then told Rickart
to jump himself into the well-knowr
lake.
The New York boxing commission
then suspended Wilson for failing 4
defend his title and announced tina
Greb had become the champion
through a sort of default process.
Matters were further complicatel
when Greb proceeded to win tn

arms to be q good hitter. II he
knows how to get the most OF his
possibilities.
Some supporters of Wilson have
maintained that he is a good fighter
and a worthy champion and that he
would provo IT the FIRST time he
faced a real. capable opponent. He
will have that opportunity in his
fight with Greb, but bettors are ask
ing more than assurance from his
friends that he is a real fighter.
Greb has fought so much and
done SO well that every follower of
tho ring knows that he is one of the
hardest fighters in the business to
beat-that is, everyone knows that
he nee was such a fighter.
It remains to be seen IL he is as
good as he was more than a year
ago. Some doubts exist that he Is.
Perhaps he will not be hurt by
making the weight. but II stands
also that he will not be benefited
by II. After seeing the exhibition
that Johnny Dundee gave when he
was supposed to have been weak
ened by making weight for Eugene
Criqui. good judges VIII DO very
slow in banking too much on the
weight factor as y handicap to Greb.
The Pittsburgh boy may not be in
shape. however. He Is a rather
loose liver and he has been hitting
the pace during the last year. There
are too many examples to show that
Greb is not the ono in u million who
can retain his effectiveness by no,
following the rules.
Two years ago, Greb would have
been an overwhelming favorite to
beat Wilson. and he will carry q 10,
of smart money with him tomorrow
night. but the sentiment Is not SC
much that Greb is so much superior
to Wilson. as It Ia that Wilson !.
much inferior to Greb.
If the title passes. II probably will
go the way of a decision. Greb 1,
not a great puncher. and Wilson Il
rugged enough to stay UP under
some stin FASTING II he has n hear
in him. and he has not been accused
Of being timid under FIRE.
To retain tho championship. VIII
son most certainly will have TO wir
by a knockout. He is too awkwart
to win a decision from the NOR,
clever Greb. and his chances of get
ting over a knockout on an oppo
nent that is swarming around tn
ring like a big bee cloud all tn
time r also very thin.
If Greb lights cieunly and doe
not resort to the foul tactics tina
usually spoil his work. he ought Il
win the decision by a wide margin
