CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—(By The Associated Press).— The Boston Braves, of the National League, despite the fact that they have been bumping along the bottom of the ercentage box throughout the season, stepped up and handed a little present to their league leaders, thee New York Giants, yesterday, in the form of a defeat for the RAIN SLOWs UP FIRPO'S WORK Training Resumed To- day After Day of Enforced Rest. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 80. —(By The Associated Press.)—After 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 2 cold, Luis Angel Firpo planned to- day to return to work in prepara- tion for his title match with Jack Dempsey, September 14. ‘The same program, morning road work, inside punching of a heavy sand bag and sparring with four men in the afternoon was posted on the bulletin board and Luis Angel was 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 even more than his trainers pre- scribe. But they are holding him down for the present, awaiting & time when the corps of punch back- stops will be reinforced by four or five fast working boxers of the lighter classes. When these men arrive Luis Angel is to be “Joosed.” ———_— PERCHERON GELOINGS ~ WIN PULLING CONTEST AT IOWA STATE FAIR DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug., 30.— Non-Agricultural teams weighing more than 2,000 pounds competed in the final days of the horse pulling contests at the Iowa State Fair, and the event was won by a team of graded Percheron geldings 10 years old and weighing 3,630 pounds. The team exerted a tractive pull of 2,100 pounds for fifty feet, 2,200 pounds for 25 feet, and 2,800 pounds for 25 feet. Hundreds of similar tests will be conducted in other parts of the country during the coming months to give experimenters a basis broad enough for general conclusions as to the strongest types of draft horses. ab oni Today’s Games National League St, Lou's at Pittsburg!

My sparring staff will be strengthened and I will beable to get in plenty of hard work.” Judging from Dempsey's conver. sation, the heavyweight champion expects to get nome valuable infor-| mation concerning Firpo's boxing) skill and punching ability from Jack | McAuliffe, the Detroit heavyweight, jwho was knocked out in three |rounds by the Argentine.

Walker ts evidently full of confidence for the third meeting or he would not ad- vise his home town friends to bet on him.

Jack Burke is ready to take his turn against Dempsey, as @ result of a three-day rest. cording to the articles of agreement signed several weeks ago. The bouts will be run off quickly, enabling the spectators to get back in town by 11 o'clock. The semi- windup brings together Jack Doyle and Billy Papke, two fast Colorado lightweights.

As a rule, in doping and in betting on the outcome of a fight, the cham- Pion possesses the known quantities and what experting is to be done revolves around the prospects of the challenger. In this unusual case {ft ts 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 eubjected to the real test that he fs bound to face, + Wilson sort of snesked ftnto the champjonship and he has sneaked more as the champion. He won the title from Mike O'Dowd in Boston on a decision and O'Dowd shouted to the world that he had been made the victim of larceny. Wilson gave him a return bout in New York, and elthough he failed to show any kind of championship ability, he did beat O'Dowd, and in the poverty- stricken condition of t! class it 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- ous 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 Jack Doyle Denver battler who will meet Billy Papke in the semi-windup of the big ring card to be staged at he Rodeo stadium September 7.

Milligan, star catcher for Philadelphia Athletics and the Louls Browns when they were bers of the American Assoc died here today, tho exhibition was so terrible that Tex Rickard refused to pay Wilson his purse. More troubles followed for the champion. When he tried to get his money, Rickard forced him to sign an agreement to fight Harry Greb, Wilson signed the agreement, got his money and then told Rickard to jump himself into the well-known lake. The New York boxing commission then suspended Wilson for falling to defend his title and announced that Greb had become the champion through a sort of default process. Matters were further complicated when Greb proceeded to win the American light-heavyweight cham- pionship and decided that he didn't care to monkey around and defend what claim he hed on the middle- weight title Finally, after months of wrang- ling, the Wilson-Greb match was friends that he is a rea! fighter. eee match for the title at the Polo Grounds, September 14, are two of the hardest hitting heavyweights that ever lived. Greb has fought so much and done so well that every follower of the ring knows that he {s one of the hardest fighters in the business to beat—that everyone knows that warriors of other days. There {is little comparison to be made between the fighting stytes of these two modern giants of the ring, and any of the former leading heavyweights, such as John L. Sul- livan, James J. Jeffries, Jack John- son, James J. Corbett or Bob Fitz simmons. Both Dempsey and Firpo are “natural” fighters, each with a style all his own.
