from gentlemen Of the press this
morning, Firpo being the shining
victim. Some said that he landed
only one telling punch, which was
a gross exaggeration. He landed
TWO telling punches. The first
came in the seventh round and the
second in the ninth, both being
right handlers to the body. They
hurt Wills, no mistake.
Yet the Bulls right was a
wealkling weapon for the most
part. All the snap seemed to
nave gone Outs of 1t after the
second round knock down, which
Dy the way was quite within the
code in spite Of the claims that
Wills hit Firpo on the break. It
was q vicious, lightning fast right
swing, launched out suddenly after
the men had been separated.
F1rpo's head hit the floor as he
went down and few looked for
further activities. But the bull was
clean, straight game. His standing
up before Wills body punishment
for the rest Of the fight proved
that.
Ever and anon he shot the famed
right hand for Wills head but it
landed all too seldom and even then
1t seemed to lack power. It is
probable that the arm was deadened
by Wills vice like clutch in the
clinches, the negro using his
superior strength to spike Firpo's
favorite weapon every time they
got in close.
But why, when he discovered that
Firpo was harmless, he failed to
open up and try for a knockout in
the late rounds, will forever remain
a mystery to the writer. Only by
a knockout could Wills hope to
convince the skeptics. Yet he made
no serious attempt to score one
after the second round.
The Washington times., 1924-09-12

AS one distressed eye witness ex-
pressed the general sentiment, Firpo
couldn't and Wills wouldn't. The
coIored man carried eleven Of the
twelve rounds, the other being even
and from first to last was the
winner away off by himself but his
victory left much to be desired and
dark brown taste in the mouth.
Wills should have finished his
man after scoring a knock down In
the second round with a right to
the jaw but he lacked the necessary
punch. Firpo was ready FOR the
end at any time thereafter.
It never came largely because
Wills either couldn't or wouldn't
slug with the Latin after it was
demonstrated to everyOne's salts
faction that the Senor's right was
harmless. Only Wills super cau-
ton or super-impOtence carried
the affair along to a dreary con-
ClusiOn.
At the end, Firpo's body was a
cerise mass Of welts from Wills
punching right, applied to the stom-
ach and kidneys times without mum.
Der by the colored mans usual ex.
pedient of holding Firpo with his
left hand and seeking with his
right. Luis liked this not at all
and complained bitterly to Referee
Danny Sullivan that Wills was VIC
lating the rules but apparently the
So-called brown panther must he
accepted as foul fighter, If he is
70 be accepted at all. He cannot
seem to hit effectively otherwise.
Sullivan cautioned Wills re.
peatedly In the late rounds and
this seemed to cramp HaEry's
style no little. Perhaps that was
the reason Wills failed to score a
knockout. Paddy Mullins, his
manager, also horned i'm with the
abb that he had broken his
right hand in the fourth round,
singularIy unrOiginal idea.
Our guess is that Wills simply
lacked the finishing punch.
The tip off is that neither man
sufficiently interested Dempsey to
keep that gentleman on the prem.

lost. Neither therefore can or will
occasion a serious misgiving on tao
part Of the champion.

Have Best Wishes.

TINE fighting Griffs closed
their season in Philadelphia
yesterday, taking with them
the best wishes of most Of those
talking with them.
Bill Brandt, word-painter on
the Public Ledger, said to this
writer at Shibe Park, II hope ]
have to- go to Washington for the
world series, and I haven't said
this to anybody else this year,
either. Here in Philadelphia, with
no chance for the pennant, every
body is pulling for you fellows.
You are taking our best wishes
for the champions away with you.
Stay with 'em and you'll win.
I'll see you at the series in Wash
ington."
Brandt. wrote pleasant pieces
Of congratulatory stuff about the
.Griffmen while they were playing
the AS. He meant every word
of it, too, or this writer is mis-
taken.
Gordon Mackay, sports editor Of
the Philadelphia Inquirer said he
was pulling for the Griffs to win,
promising to come to the series
in the Capital.
"It's about time some other club
showed up those Yankees" said
Mackay, "and it's Washington's
turn, anyway"
Morale Is High.
THE morale of the Griffs on
the eve Of their final swing
around the Western fringe OF
the American League circuit is
high. 1t could not be better.
There is no sign of any mental
strain because of the high rank
of the club in the daily standings.
One and all, the Griffs believe this
is their year and that they will
have to battle some National
League club for the world title
of 1924.
Uncle Nick Altrock and A. Gene
Dearborn Schacht have no little
to do with this lack Of strain.
They are the cut-up kids around
the hotel as well as on the field
and the effect is good for the
team. They are assisted, too, by
Thomas Cyclades Taylor, the sub
stitute third-sacker, whose collec-
ton Of animal noises is at the
beck and call of the gang on the
slightest notice.
Twelve games are facing the
Griffs in the West, three in each
city. Then comes the long ride
back from Chicago to Boston,
where the final four contests of
the campaign are to be played
Bucky Harris believes that his
team will have cinched their grip
on the pennant by the time the
first game is played in the Hub
though he declines to put himself
on record about it.
Cant do that, you know" he
says. "Might be the jinx for US
but / have my own ideas, just
the same" and he grins with q
faraway look in his eye.
There's nothing the matter with
the spirit of the Griffs. They'll
be in there to the bitter end.

1--WE haven't won this pennant,"
says President Griffith, old in base
ball. "It will be decided in the
West, possibly inside Of a week,
possibly in two weeks. But one
team or the other should know
the fatal news before we leave
Chicago. Until then we must keep
hustling. The pennant goes to
the hustler"
The fighting Griffs hike out of
this mans town Immediately after
today's exhibition contest, heading
for Detroit, where tomorrow they
open a three-game series. This
coming series with the Jungaleers
will tell the tale so far as Ty
Cobb's team is concerned.
The only hope the Jungle Cats
have Of remaining in the flag hunt
is to make a clean sweep of this
three-game series. Winning two
won't do them much good. They
are too far in the rear. It must
be three or nothing, and Walter
Johnson smiles systematically ct
the suggestion that he will lose
tomorrow in Detroit.
Real Test on Way.
TIME Griffmen have twice
fought their way into first
u place, surviving more than
one vicious assault, but their real
test is ahead. 1t comes in the
West, in the great open spaces
where men are men.
First come the Jungle Cats
then the Indians and last, but not
least, those COMPOUNDED Browns
in St. Louis.
Strange as it may seem, though
the Jungle Cats rate the most
powerful team in the West, the
Griffs fear them the least. They
feel sure of taking two of the
three games booked for Navir
Field on this final swing around
the frontier. The Griffs have
more respect for the Indians and
the Browns.
"We've simply got to do some
thing in Cleveland and St. Louis
says Bucky Harris, land / feel
we're going to. Winning one
game in each city is a disgrace
We've got to better that record.
l don't know what we will do
but J. can say that we are going
to do our best to win all six
games coming in these two cities

that the letter, which they had put
by the fireplace, was gone the next
morning. So the storm had not kept

home. But the storm still kept up and
they felt a little bit nervous about
Santa's arrival on Christmas Eve.
But they went to bed, hoping, just

In the morning they hardly dared

Bodied Hair Not Ne,O idea

Bodied hair is ancient, according to
discoveries made In the little town of
Wilmington, Northamptonshire, Eng
land. The restoration of the parish
church there has revealed painting
depicting women with their hair
bobbed in the style of 1924 Hidden
under a coating Of thin plaster were
discovered wall paintings representing
the resurrection and the Judgment.
The plaster has now been carefully
removed to show the decorations.
Most of the figures in the paintings
are women. Some have their hair
falling about the shoulders, but the
artist has given the majority short
hair, cut exactly in the manner Of the
modern girls couture The vicar be-
.ieves the paintings are the same age
as the church, which was built in
1850.

that amazes and delights all beholders
