FIGHT NEWS | CASPER, WYO., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1923 AILED FIST THREAT ITALY EXTENDS UL IT TUM A Change of Program Every Week Mother—that hallowed word of love that surrounds maternity in its divine glory—brought soft tears to the eyes of hundreds who were at the First Baptist church last night to hear “Big Jim” Kramer preach on the “Home.” Eleven went down the aisles of the church and took the hand of the evangelist at the conclusion of his stirring talk, and their hearts happily took up the song “Tell Mother I'll Be There in Answer to Her Prayer. “I am never happler than when I am preaching on the home for the home is the first of the seven pillars that support clyilization,” said Dr. Kramer last night. “And to the home there are three all-important factors. These are a trinity, strong fatherhood, beautiful motherhood, and sweet childhood. “Some of us are trying to find a place to serve God—why not try the home? We must have strong homes for in that land where there are weak homes there is weak gov- ernment, weak religion and weak people. And it's better to send the Leviathan to sea without a rudder and without charts, than to launch a family without the religion of Jesus Christ. “The greatest problem on God's earth is the problem of living to: gether. But let us remember that marriage is only a failure when manhood and womanhood are fail- ures. I have not been in Casper very long but. I know there are wives here whose immorality is lead- ing to divorce and hell for their husbanfis, and the same is true of as magy husbands in this city who are trying to break up thelr homes and scatter their families with the mud and slime of rotten living. “There is nothing comparable to the righteous man in these times. ‘Woe need more of them. The men must come to Christ; they must be fathers of whom their children are not ashamed, for whom wives and mothers need not bear all the re- Ugion. and all the Christian spirit that makes a home what a real home ought to be, “God pity the home that has never tried the compantonshp of the child!

The drivers will be forced to qualify in the morning be- fore they are permitted to enter the race. The motorcycle and comedy races should give the program plenty of variety. The Ford race, in which the owners agree to sell their ma chines after the race for $50 if that much is offered, should be a riot in itself. There will bo plenty of parking space for auto owners inside the grounds and the gates wil be open Sunday, at 1 o'clock. The starter will call the cars to the line for the first race at 2:30, Attendance at the races is expect- ed to break all records for similar events here. Most of the box seats have been reserved.

Greater Speed and Terrific Punch Save’ Dempsey but Argentinan Is Still Listed as Contender NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—(By The Associated’Press) .— Jack Dempsey still holds undisputed sway as heavyweight champion of the world but only after the crown he has worn for the past four years being toppled from his scowling brow. had come perilously close to The champion stands out as a mightier figure than ever, one of the greatest title hold- ers of all time, as a result of his smashing, dramatic knockout of Luis Angel Firpo last night at the polo grounds in the second round of champion was constantly beating his challenger to the punch.

Dempsey, never knocked down since he battered Jess Willard into a helpless mass and ascended the heavywelght throne, found himself dazed, his knees quivering, only a few minutes after it seemed that he had beaten his challenger into submission. But then, just when EF rpo had the champion and fortune almost within his grasp, the cham- pion’s generalship, his instinctive de- fense, saved him. He gripped Fir- po's arms, blocked the challenger's rush, and, before e'ther could start unother assault, the bell ended the round. Master of the situation once more, Dempsey made short work of his battered opponent in the second rounc, flooring him twice before a short right uppercut to the jaw— it did not travel over a foot—brought his foe down for the eighth, and last time. The champion's greater speed, the versatility and unerring accuracy of his attack and strategy, p'us his terrific punch, had brought him vic- tory. Firpo, beaten for the first time since h's meteoric rise to prominence fought the greatest fight of his car- eer, His right was never mightier; he proved beyond the shadow of a doubt his gameness under the hot- test fire. But when his great op- portunity came he was out-maneu- vered and out-generaled. Dempsey was the quicker on at- tack with a two fisted assault where Firpo had but one~big gun. ‘che b'ocked most of Firpo’s counter rushes. He wrestled and “roughed” the challenger and these tactics, it seemed, almost as much as: his olt- ing punches, forced Firpo to the canvas. Perhaps the champion grew too confident as he sensed vic. tory but he was caught “wide open’ and unprepared when Firpo came back to drop Dempsey to his knees, then through the ropes to the press benches, Dempsey’s victory removed all doubt that he had lost his old punch. Against Firpo, the title holder was the same “man killer,” the same re- lentless assailant that had wrested the championship from Willard. > An in defeat, Firpo gained glory and prestige that stamped him as still one of the most dangerous of all title challengers, His future has not been crushed by defeat. Experts who thrilled at his gallant stand last night grant him the requisites of a champion except training and ex- perience, Another year of devel- opment under proper tutelage, they believe, will bring this swarthy giant back again to the top, a far more formidably equipped challeng- er. — BUENOS AIRES ACCEPTS VERDICT. = BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 15.—(By The Associated Press.\—The great Firpo ‘was beaten by the greate: Dempsey. ° This the way last night's fight ‘or the heavyweight championship of the world is epitotized here. Al- (Continued on Page Four) 85,000 SEE TITLE BOUT IN GOTHAM NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—(By The Associated Press.) — Approximately 85,000 fans paid more than $1,200,009 to see Jack Dempsey knock out Luis Angel Firpo, according to the estimates early today of Promoter Tex Rickard. Fully 25,000 more were massed around the Polo Grounds, unable to gain admittance. The battle, in point of both at- tendance and receipts, ranks second only to the Dempsey-Carpentier spectacle two years ago at Boyle's Thirty Acres, Jersey City, where 93,000 paid $1,600,000 to see the champion conquer his French rival. The Willard-Firpo fight at the same arena last July was credited by Rickard with attracting close to 100,000 but official figures showed a | « paid attendance of only 75,000. Dempsey reaped with this triumph the greatest fortune of his career. Receiving 37% per cent of the gross receipts as his share, on the basis of estimated receipts, would be about $450,000, while Firpo, with a 12% per cent portion, would get $150,000. This amount is nearly twice as mich as the Argentine re- ceived for knocking out Jess WII- lard.
