LUIS F|RPO HAS
CHANCE, SAYS
BRADY
Former Manager opines Demp-
sey Must Get Challenger in
Early Rounds.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Williann
A. Brady, who guided the destinies
Of two former heavyweight cham
pions. thinks that Dempsey will
defeat Firpo in a very short time.
IF Dempsey Is as Eood as he was
at Toledo" says the old timer who
managed Corbett and Jeffries and
is now a prominent theatrical mag
nate, "the bout will be q short
one, and II would not surprise me
II It were over in one minute.
IF, however, Dempsey Is not
better than when he met Brennan,
Carpenter or Gibbons, Senior Firpo
has a royal chance 1t all de-
ponds on how much damage Demp-
Sey can do in the first few ex-
changes Of blows. Let Firpo once
realize that Dempsey is not the
man killer he has been pictured,
then look out.
my opinion is that If the bout
lasts longer than four rounds FirpO
will be the next champion Of the
world and II he is, the next
championship match will be in
Buenos Aires where we will expect
our representative to he decently
treated. Let us do likewise now.
hope the reception given Criqui,
the Frenchman, recently will rot

could not be considered representa-
tive OF American sportsmanship."

WILL
WIN IN FOUR
ROUNDS
New York Scribe Says Firpo
Has No More Chance Than
ProVerbial SNOWFALL.
BY SID MERCER.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-In my
opinion Firpo will not answer the
bell for the fourth round tonight:
that Is assuming that Dempsey
makes a careful fight. If, on the
other hand, he finds Firpo easy to
hit and to get away from, he may
cut loose in the first round and
win with a few punches.
However, there is the matter of
the moving pictures to consider.
Should Dempsey find Firpo ridicu-
lously easy he may play with him
q little. By so doing he may be
r1sking the chance Of being hurt
but Firpo has yet to bring down
any good man with one blow. If
he lands one and hurts Dempsey
he may start a real fight.
1t should take Dempsey a round
to feel out Luis-if he fights care.
fully-and another to get going. In
the second he should reach FirDo's
body with those terrific blows that
took all the fight out of Carpenter
and then he can ask Luis to name
his spot on the canvas.
Firpo's strength and endurance
may carry him through this round
but the third should he his limit.
Dempsey could have stopped Car.
pentier in n round but took four.
In my opinion, he will beat Firpo

also hits faster.
Dempsey is an excellent boxer in

Many men acquainted with the
ring and ring affairs are playing
safe by naming six rounds as the

Indeed, If the thing ends in the

France Determined
to Protect Security

Paris, Feb. 22-(By A. P.)-France
ia determined to protect her security
and her just reparation. President
Millerand declared at banquet to-
night of the Republican committee of
commerce and industry. However.
he added, Frances in the present
Ruhr difficultis, had no thought of
1nnXation.
The President said that If Ger
many was fiattering herself with the
illusion that France, which con-
quered at Verdun. would yield before
financial difficulties. she was making
a fatal error in psychology.
He emphasized that the Ruhr de-
velopments had betrayed to the
world the secret plans Germany had
been cherishing. and that in pursu-
ing her just ends. France would
never waver until her purposes were
achieved.

when the white men came 10
this country they found that the
American Indians were able to catch
many beavers in their traps while
the white men were quite unable to
catch this wary animal in the traps
they set. But the Indians betrayed
their secret to II white man for a
glass of rum. The Indians scented
their traps with the odor of the fe-
male beaver. which served to at
tract the male beavers and they
would walk right into the traps. The
result was that it was not long be-
fore the white men had caught so
many of the male beavers that they
had nearly exterminated the entire
beaver species.
These facts may afford us a hint.
Therefore. let me suggest that it
might possibly be worth while to
try the use of a lure made from
the female moth of the boil weevil
as a Dalt for catching males or In
leading them to sip poison.
This possibly might be done with
the use OF the preparation made
from the entire insect or possibly
some sort of fluid extract 1t might
be possible to discover some solvent
which would dissolve only the aroma

il to his destruction.
POSSIBLY Furthermore. it might
be discovered by experiments that
the odiferous substance carried by
the female moth of beetle could be
made synthetically."
