He also is in the running for 'a Dempsey-Wills brawl. Ceffroth yould stage the contest at the Tia Juana track either on Thanksgiving Day or in February. Out West they think Coffroth has a good chance to land the plum. Yesterday's races at Charter Oak were nothing to write home about, p although they weré intéresting to the t : h X | 1 followers of the turf. The crowd on hand was a disappointing pone, but still, it was a bad day te get them out in force. There are véry few horses at the track this year compared to theé big flelds thet have contested in other days.

LEONARD A WELTER, DUNDEE DECLARES (Contxnuéd From Preceding Page) id not put in an.appearance ac- :;gd:‘nlg to schedule he would gosbe- fore the boxing commission and lay claim to Leonard’s crown. Dundee, fellowing his custom on the nights preceding his bouts, went to the the- r. e Statement by Dundee. Late last night Dundee issued a statement, which in part follows: “I am prepared to enter the ring against Leonard tomorrow night, and in the event that through some fault of_his the fight falls through, 1 will claim both his title and his weight forfeit. Jimmie Johnston, promoter of the Cromwell A. C., issued a state- ment this afterneon, déclaring the bout off till a later date because of my physical condition, which heé characterized ‘as “extremely poor.” I exception to this statement, bécause, in the first place, it is untrue, and secondly, because it tends to create the impression that I am trying to run out on Leonard. “] stand ready to take a physical examinatien before any medical pro- fessor or dector named by Johnston or the State Athletic Commissien to préve that 1 am in superb physical condition. “The truth of the matter is, Leen- ard cannét make the weight, and I am made to look like the guilty ene. Johnston visited my training teday, and asked me to stand for a two weeks' postponement. I strongly op- posed the postponement or cancella- tion of any kind, and insisted that the bout go on tomorrow night as orig- nally scheduled. " “My contention is that Leonard is ot a lightweight, that he is a wel- rweight, and that he is really afraid 10 meet me in a decision bout at the fhtweight limit. I have succeeded driving Leonard right out of the| ‘htweight brigade and inte the wel- rweight ranks—where he rightfully longs. As lightweight champion 1 iw stand ready to meet all comers.” And when the time for retiring comes and the trainers, the interpre- ters and sparring partners hop into their beds, Luis Angel Iirpo takes the mattress off the couch, throws it op the floor and lies down to rest. When morning comes Luis usually may be found curled in a corner on'the floor. “Beds,” says he, "are uncomforta. ble.” By The Associated Press, Atlantic City, Sépt. 5.—Luls Angel Firpo believes that his quéér ring style will be more valuable to him against Jack Dempsey than all the Ametican pugilistic tricks he could learn, THhe South American's sparring partners are authority for the state. ment that one can never tell what the Angel is going to do next. “He doesn't box well and seems awkward” they say, “yét he keeps a fejlow guessing. Sometimes it looks Iike his right is getting ready to swing and then the left shoots out and vice versa." 4 LARGE SQUAD AS SYRACUSE Coach Meehan Swamped When 60 Men Report at Lake Onejda Syracuse, N.

Firpo won by a knockout in the 12th round and Brennan spent a week in a New Yerk hospital rec ering from econcussion of the brain and other effects of the beating he auftered, The end came with dramatic sud- denness, after the Argentine gilant, his face streaming with blood from & his opponent on points.
