DUNLAP'S ENEMY
TO BE FIGHTER

LOS ANGELES, August 2.-Ray
burke, Il husky truck driver, II few
days ago knocked out Harry Dun
lap, notorious 'badgc bandit, y
when Dnrke identified Dunlap at
the county Jail as. the man who hold
him up last winter and tried to at
tack his sweetheart.
Deputy sheriffs who pulled the en-
ragged truck pilot from off his pros
trate enemy commented on the
force of his blow and the spread
of his fist.
The right which put Dunlap
down brought, burke to the fore,
for he has been matched to meet
Tony Romero, an Italian heavy

burke hasn t had much ring eXper-
ience but his hackers say if they
can just make hi mpccvcd when he
enters the arena, it will be curtains

months of 1924 denotes Il healthy

of the country up to July l, and
this total is within one aad one
half per cent of the number made

BOUT PROMISES
TO BE REAL One,
TRAINING BEGUN
wild Bull" Is Confident
and Anxious to
Get in Ring
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.4Fisti,
treats, such as the Fripo- Wills match
would seem to promise, SO often dis
inteprate into thin air for one rea
son or another, that it is a relief to
see everything Indicate that the
proposed bout will come off on sche-
dule.
The big black already is in train
ing, and r'irpo, although he brought
considerable avoirdupoN,, together
with his troubles, along with him
fro mSouth America, lost little time
in making tracks for gymnasium
and showing his wares. N
Particularly proud is Senor F'irpo
of his new left hand. Although he
complains occasionally Of rheuma-
tism in his port elbow, he never
loses an opportunity to point with
pride to his new-found weapon of
offense. ~, & 5es
If the South American really can
work Il snappy leftshahd punch,
even if it is only good for jabbing
and leading and lr the referee is
as good at making Wills fight clean
ly us on the occasion of the negro s
bout with Barley Madden, Firpo,
should take the dusky heavyweight S
measure.
Wills, it will be recalled, showed
against Madden a woeful lack of
ability to fight without holding. He
is quick, agile and powerful, and if
permitted to clamp his left arm
down upon his opponent s wrist and
flail away with his own right, he is
dangerous man for anyone to
meet, even Dempsey. But forced
to stan doff and fight in the open,
Wills looked bad against the game
little Irishman who won so much
glory that night over in Long Is
land City by standing up to the
negro for Is rounds.
Mighty Tough
1t is doubtful if Wills could stand
up under the punishment conveyed
by the "Wild Bulls 81 right Harry
has an excellent defense, and might
well weather the storm for good
many rounds, but Firpo has shown
in indomitable toughness and abili-
ty to keep hammering away, and
sooner or later it seems certain he
would wear Wills down.
Just now, the Argentine champion
is fat, but he will have no difficul-
tv in getting into condition. He
talked of fighting couple of g set
ups y before meeting the ex-stevc
dorc but Tex Rickard had the final
say as to that.
Firpo is nothing if not confident.
He feels that he should have beat
Pn Dempsey when they met, and has
one or two alibis. He processes to
hold Wills rather lightly and to
regard the match as stepping
stone to Il return bout with Jack
Dempsey.
The latter's injuries may have
further postponed the date of his
return to the ring; certainly it is
not likely he will be seen in action
before the outdoor season of 1925.
II was the prospect of a bout with
Dempsey this year, however, which
lured .Firpo from South America, (!
the Argentine said.

s HOUR LAW IN SWEDEN

It is interesting always to hear of good resulting from a reduction ain l the required working hours of those
 who labor hard physically during the
 day-and this does not indicate that
 workers with their brains should be sighted either. It seems that an in-
 vestigation of the results in Sweden
 of the reduction of the working day to eight hours, has just been complet-
 ed. Those opposed to such reduction
 expressed themselves as fearing the
 laboring man would not properly
 benefit by the greater leisure given
 him, but would use his spare time in other work whereby he might add to
 his income.
 It seems this has proven true in many cases, but the character of the extra work taken up in spare time has been more or less of a recreational character At least it has been pleas ant work, bringing the rest by change in occupation which is so valuable.
 But when it comes to the long list of good things which have resulted from the extra leisure hours, the evi- dence in favor of the eight-hour day is striking. Perhaps we didn't know there was good deal of jazz dancing and the like in Sweden. Evidently there was but great inroads into its popularity are being made, report has il, because of the shorter working day. People are dancing less and are reading books that bring understand ing where there was none. Of course there is more interest in home sardens.and, as with more time has come greater excellence in athletics, so there has been less time and in- elination for the great indoor sport of gambling.
 We may have no great desire to pose as reformers who want to plant 'eulture" all over any country, but there is culture and culture, and cer- | tain amount of 1t does not hurt any of us, We'll. they say that in Sweden there has been great interest in the latter sort Of broadening development and it has come mainly since the eight-hour day was established.

 But we believe it almost impossible to conceive that the increase in the number of women becoming pro- tectors of the peace has anything to do with preventing an increase in the number of marriages. A policewoman may be estimable-most estimabe. She may be particularly fitted for the job of a policewoman. But a police- woman wife? No, as the job visuaiizes itself before the romantic mind of the young swain, longing to sigh out his love from the depths of his burning heart, no policewomsn is included in the vision.
