And unlike the former champion Willard, whom a few months ago he furious fighting ever recorded in night by a right uppercut which CHAHP FOR SEASON Is Far Abead in National--Heil- mamn Leads American By The Associated Prea. Chicago, Scpt. 15~—Rogers Hornsby, the St. Louis ace, is leading the Na- tional league in batting with an aver- age of .384 and bids fair to hold the advantage to the end of the season.

Talks Of Next Year “In a year I'll be back again,” he declared, when lifted to his feet by the young giant who had floored him {he had staggered uncertainly to his jdressing room, Losing fighters have made that statement before and been laughed at for their pains. But not so with Luis. A vast majority of the 85,000 who wit- nessed last night's battle in the Polo Grounds believed him and Tex Rick- *lard the man who put on the fight de- clared he was ready to stage another Firpo-Dempsey batt!e next summer or |match the Argentinan against Harry Wills, the hard fighting ‘negre who has been itching for a fight with Dempsey. “Firpo is not done for yet,”" assert- ed Rickard. “He will be heard from again. He is a big, strong, young fellow and a terrific fighter,” Most Dramatic Fight Last night's battle was perhaps the most dramatic in the history of pugilism, even eclipsing the terrific fray in Toledo in 1919 when Dempsey tore the laurels from the bloody head of Jess Willard.
