CONLEY 1S ELECTED Catholic University Gridiron Veteran Will Pilot All-New Britain—Ashley Looks Good. - ——— Luis Angel Lays Off Hard Work, . Finding Himself In Tip Top Form For Attempt At Title. By The Associated Press. Baratoga Springs, Sept, 11.--~When Jack Dempsey steps out of his corner in the Polo Grounds ring I'riday night to defend his title against Luls Angel Firpo he will have no fixed plan of battle in mind except to be eareful not to run any dangerous risks and then crash over with the “hardest sock I can whenever I can land.” The champion, bundled in a heavy sweater, and drawing his chair close to a fire declared today he never planned a fight in advance, “It's possible, that I may decide to fight Firpo the way I fought Willard back In Toledo four years ago. Most big men are easy to hit when you can outspeed them. But if I find that Firpo is a tough bird to sock or that he is socking me, I may switch my tactics, I'll have to try something else if one thing doesn't work. “When 1 step into Firpo and begin to sock the fight may be decided by the first few punches. If I am lucky enough to get him dizzy I'll tear for bim for all I'm worth.” The titleholder still has a trace of the cold he contracted ten days ago. He sald he weighed about 193 but probably would enter the ring weigh- ing about 190 pounds.

New York, Sept. 11.—Before he opened his Atlantic City training camp Luis Angel Firpo, challenger for the world heavyweight cham- pionship, got in some battling prac- tice at the expense of the some lesser known heavyweights of the country. Firpo engaged in six contests, four of | which he won with knockouts. The Argentian’s knockout victims were Italian Jack Herman, Jim Hib- bard, Charley Weinert and Joe Burke. | Homer Smith and Joe Downey man- aged to stay the limit with Firpo, but they absorbed terrific punishment. Herman, who had fallen before Pirpo’'s punches last year in Brook- lyn, took the count in two rounds at Havana. Hibbard was the next vic- | tim in three rounds at Mexico City. Joe Burke, a Detroit heavyweight, | was knocked out in less than two rounds at Grand Rapids, Mich. Smith proved the surprise of the South American’s tour. Although floored one or more times in every one of the ten rounds, Smith was still on his feet when tiie contest onded. The match was staged in Omaha, Neb. Charlie Weinert of Newark was punched into defeat soon after the start of the second round at Philadel- phia. City and state officials took a hand in Firpo's match with Joe Downey at Indianapolis Governor McCray of Indiana ruled that the men should wear 16 ounce gloves and that the po- lice should arrest both hoxers if in — - - their judgment the match developed | YESTERDAY'S HOMERS into a prize fight.
