New York, Aug. 30.—Jack Demp- sey, wdyld’s heavyweight champion, and Luis Angel Firpo of the Argen- tine who will opposé him in a match for the title at the Polo Grounds on the night of September 14 are two of the hardesi hitting heavyweights that ever lived. Yet they are of a type ‘far removed from the great ring war= riors of other days There is little comparison to be made b:lween the fighting styles of these two mnocern giants of the ring, and any ol the former leading heavy- weights, such us¢ John L.

He is an open' target to both right and left hand punches but is so fast on foot that only the cleverest and fastest punch- ers have been able to land on him ef- fectively. Georges Carpntier with his flashing right nailed Dempsey square- ly on the chin but the champion see- ing the blow start was going away from the punch by the time it had reached its mark and the full force of it was spent. Yet, it jolted Dempsey to his heels.
