Y., Sep. 6—(By The Associated Press)—Jack Dempsey wants to be stretched on the resined floor of the ring with a referee swinging a count over him when his time comes to pass into the ranks of the beaten champions. He revealed his wishes today when he told Jaek Kearns, his manager, that no matter what happens in his championship battle with Luis Angel Firpo at the Polo grounds a week from tomorrow night, he does not want a towel thrown into the ring as a token of defeat, even if he ts stag- gering helplessly around the ring. “I have told the same thing to the others who will be in my cor- ner,” Dempsey sald. “I want to be flat on my back when my time comes to take it. No towel to be thrown Into the ring for me. I’m going out fighting—without any dispute about the finish.” The champion, judging from his mental attitude, 1s not worrying over the result of the coming battle. He laughs and jokes with his camp assistants and shows none of the nervous Irritability characteristic of | him a week before previous battles.

Mile, Lenglen, in an article under her name in a recent issue of a London sports paper, said she would like to play Miss Wills and she would not mind if the American girl beat her, as she was tired of the title.

Because clay courts are po much more in the majority it might be eald that the hard court game is more popular.

Critics are almost unanimous in stanting Firpo only an outside chance to win the championship from Dempsey and sentiment is just as strong that a contest between the champion and Harry Wills would be more of an even match. Firpo was Tex Rickard’s choice, because Rickard knows fight fens and he saw in the shaggy headed, huge South American the type of a fighter that would appeal in a rather romantic and primitive way to the Public. ‘Thousands of fans will pay thous- ands of dollars to see the match, be- cause, in addition to many of its cireus trimmings, tt is known that as long ug tt lasts it will be a fight.

The Frenchman hed in him the personification of the modern eagle fighter of the air, an aviator, weak, perhaps, in physical strength, but powerful in cunning. The South American represents the mastadon type of the underbrush, the glant with fire in {ts eyes that beats down everything in its way with the sheer force of tts brute strength. Carpentier was smaller and light- er than Dempsey. His threat was in hitting and getting away. He was supposed to represent the modern type of fighting machine, tn which the brain mechanism was a factor as important as the piston displacement of the arms. Fripo is bigger and more powerful than Dempsey and he represents the First in News Of All Events 2 lubs and not brains were the great- est assets of @ warrior. No one of the 96,000 spectators around ring et Jersey City doubted that Carpentier would go down when Dempsey gotover his first good punch. Everyone knew that several of those socks would finish him. None can be certain, that the ponderous bulle of Firpo will be plas- ed in a horizontal position when Dempsey lands for the first tine. None can be smre that a dozen of the champion’s hardest blows will put his huge opponent down te atey. Firpo is almost as big end be is even more powerful than Jess Wu- lard.
