Think OF These When
You Pick Winner
OF Big Bout

IL you are thinking Of wager
ing q few cold bones on the
coming bout between Louis An
gel Firpo and Jack Dempsey.
just remember these five
points:
/. Dempsey is a two-handed
hitter; Firpo is highlander
only.
2. Dempsey is faster-and
a far better boxer.
8. Dempsey is q harder tar
get to hit than Firpo ever
aimed at.
a. Dempsey is much more
experienced knows four times
as many tricks of the trade.
5. Dempsey has always been
at his best against bigger, slower
men who were more open tar
gets for right or left.
The Washington times., 1923-08-29

Firpo is built more on the order
of Jess Willard. He is taller and
heavier than Dempsey. There is
every reason to believe he packs
a real wallop in that right hand
of his.
Don't think Willard couldn't
hit. In the third round Willard
uncorked an uppercut that Jared
Dempsey to his heels. That came
even when the Kansas Giant was
Keeling and staggering after TAX
ing a terrible beating.
Dempsey knew Willard could
hit. He prepared to beat him to
it, and he did. That first slam
to the ribs, that terrific left to
the jaw and that topping right to
the jaw showed Dempsey at his
best. He thrives on battling big
men.
Dempsey knows that Firpo can
hit. So he is preparing to beat
him to the punch and, if he is
the old Jack Dempsey, he will
do that thing and end this in
vasion by the Argentinian with
one kick.

Speed Is Important.

OPEED takes on the greatest
- Importance when it is recalled
~ that Firpo packs real
punch. And Dempsey knows it.
That's why he works out with
Jack Bernstein, 13O-pounder,
and even with Pancho Villa, a
flyweight.
When the bell rings, starting
that bout September ID, it will
be up to Jack Dempsey to use
all his speed in beating Firpo to
the punch. If he succeeds, the
South American will receive a
beating he little suspects. The
champion will keep after his man
relentlessly, landing as hard as

the Griffs when Ray Francis APP
peared on the mound for the Tigers.
Francis was with Washington last
year and, II reports be true, he 10
no over popular with Bush,s lads.
Furthermore, the smiling southpaw
has yet to make good against his
former team mates. Yesterday he
had nothing up his sleeve and was
knocked off the rubber in the very
first session, causing great joy in
the Washington .dugout.
Joe Evans took a walk and Peck
singled. Goslin forced Evans at
third and then Rice forced Goslin
at second. Francis got all tied up
with his feet and forgot to cover
first base, thereby running a Ger.
tain double play. Then came the
fun.
Judges single to center scored
Peck. Charity ratified the left
field fence with twO-baggef,
scoring Rice and sending Fran.
els to the club house. Harris
scoring Judge and Charity.
The Tigers got a couple in their
half of the first frame, but Goose
Goslin came to time in the third
with a home run over the center
field bleachers. This was a roaring
wallop, easily the longest seen on
Navin Field in months. In Wash
ington, as we recall the field there,
that drive would have mounted the
| high fence in right center well
down toward the farther end.
Charity led off in the fourth
with single and Harris beat out
an infield roller. Bluege singled to
center, scoring the catcher and Har-
ris tailed on Mogridge's infield
out. Leading to 2. the Griffs
seemed to have the game sewed up.
Mogridge lacked speed, bot his
curve ball was working admirably
and his control was uncanny. How
ever, like all Of Bush's pitchers,
George was not strong enough to
hold the Tigers In check all the
way. He is sadly overworked, and
so he was hit hard in the seventh
and eighth.
WoOdaII singled i'm the seventh.
Pratt, hitting for Holloway, shot
double to center, WoOdaII pull

Kill Your Fish

The true sportsman kills his fish
as soon as caught. Not only is this
a humane act. but 1t is a time ave
as well. When fishing for trout or
other small fish one wastes eonsid-
cradle time and a good deal Of pa
t.ence while taking them off the
hook. Before taking them off just
slip the thumb under the gill on one
side and the forefinger on the other,
and give a uick. hard squeeze with
the nails where the head and body
connect. The fish is killed instantly
and will not bother you by kicking
and Topping while you extracting
the hook. Another reason-fsa
killed as soon as caught keep better
than IL allowed to die a lingering
death in the creel or on a stringer.
