FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—(United Press.—For years to come, no doubt, the thrilling victory of Jack Dempsey over Luis Firpo in less than two rounds will'remain one of the most interesting topics in boxing discussions. Perhaps {t will be related to the next generation how the great Jack Dempsey took the wildest of all chances and went out to out-slug and out-punch one of the hardest hitters of all times. Dempsey perhaps will be given credit for super-courage in setting aside more efective methods of scientific fighting to prove his greatness by beating a most danger- Ous opponent at his own game. Experts are still figuring why Dempsey fought so strangely, so carlessly and so dangerously when the logical thing for him to have done was to box with Firpo and cut him down by tne more modern method of scientific hitting. Dempsey went out to slug with Firpo in the first round, and he was mighty near knocked out from under his title, He was floored twice, knocked out of the ring once and beaten all eround the ring in the first round. He was hit seven straight times with a right hand and later was landed on 15 times with swings, without making a counter punch, but nevertheless he floored his opponent seven times. In the second round he went out and fought as he was expected to fight in the first round. He boxed Firpo, feinted him into knots and knocked him out without having the Argentine touch him with a glove. For several reasons, Dempsey had to fight the way he did. He found in the first round, if he was able to register any impression, that he could not box the wild slugging South American until he had beaten him down and reduoed the power and frequency of those terrific right hand swings. It 1s doubtful {f Dempsey actually recorded that fact in his mind. He was all but knocked out by the very first punch of the fight. He started out to box Firpo and got a terrible clout on the jaw. That punch knocked Dempsey clear off his fight. It fazed him and threw him back to instinctive fighting where all he tried to do was slug down the big fighter, who was slugging him down. 1899 POINT TO THE NAME—YoU CAN DO 80 WITH CONFI- ENCE IF IT’S A GORDON. The Gordon hat has never yet betrayed j its wearer’s confi- dence. Rough effects are what men want this season It is doubtful that Dempsey ac- tually figured that his boxing would not be effective against blows that were strong enough to break through his guard and it must have been that the first punch reduced him to such a state of desperation that it was the animat in him that pressed him into such @ savage method of battle, Dempsey did outbox Firpo in the second round and he did knock him out by the right kind of, fight- ing tactics, but it must be remem- bered that the Firpo who came out for the second round was not the wild man who rushed out for the first round and fought as no other heavyweight ever fought in the ring before, ¥irpo came out for the second round, groggy and punch-worn. He had been on the floor seven Umes. His heart had almost been torn from his side by terrific short right-hand punches from the cham- plon that almost lifted him off his feet. Hoe was winded from the ex- ertions of the first round and he must have been shattered mentally by the realization that the best he had was not enough to win the first round when chance after chance presented itself, Georges Carpentier was knocked out when he fought Dempsey by a psychological punch more than the right hand of the champion which crashed over on him in the fourth round, The Frenchman practically lost the fight in the third round when be got over the punch upon which everything depended, a straight t hand square to the jaw. When Dempsey did not drop, Car. pentier knew that he was through. He realized he had played his best and only_cafd and that the only thing left for him was defeat. Firpo, whether he was influenced by it or not, surely felt the same way and the reaction was apparent in the lack of spirit that was evi. denced in his work when he came out after the first round, see The same psychology that must have reduced the morale of Firpo, of course, increased the fighting spirit of Dempsey. After what he had gone through in the first round, the champion could not help but feel that the breaks in the follow- ing rounds would be all in his favor. He had taken everything the South American had to offer and be had been able to weather the storm. He knew that every time he was landing he was dropping the Argentine and he knew like- wise that Firpo was not going to come up after every one of those punches in the following rounds. Dempsey’s greatest advantage of Firpo rested in his unusual ability to recuperate quickly. The cham- pion was just as badly off as his opponent at the end of the first round. In fact, he looked worse than Firpo because he was wo dizzy. he couldn't locate his corner. Jack Kearns may say for the rest of his days that Dempsey was not hurt or was not in danger at any time during thet first round, but all his insistence will not influence the belief and the knowledge of everyone close to the ring that the champion was fn a terrible way all during the opening round. Dempsey, however, cleared quick- ly during the minute rest bewteen rounds, and he came out almost fresh, while the South American derived no benefit whatever from the mintstrations of his seconds and he floundered out, groggy and ready for the knockout punch. <<< Send your automobile news to “Spark Plug."—care Tribune. ———+—_— In Southern Europe an effort is made to avert hall storms by bom- barding clouds with cannon shaped like huge funnels, Donald Gallagher has moved his law office to 104 Becklinger Bldg.

The Giants won four and one game was tied.
