FIRPO FOLLOWING OWN IDEAS OF TRAINING FOR HIS BOUT WITH JACK L "ciiow countrymen in South America send Wild Bull mes sage of encouragement—One of Luis’ sparring partners gives a little inside dope on the way Dempsey should go after challenger. By DAVIS 4. WALSH. International »\v« Service. ATLANTIC CITV. X. J., .Sept. 7.—“Fight hard, spare no effort; your . countrymen arc watching and praying for you." ' The above la a free translation of instructions received by Lula Firpo ■ lay via cable from Felix Bunge, the correspondence course trainer in Hueiios Aire... Luis was at his wits’ end before lie received them. Now , verythlng is nil right. He must fight hard and spare no effort. That much . plain. He might have entertained other ideas on the subject, but these ill bo discarded with all duo haste. Felix has spoken. . He will be obeyed. When the challenger digested- tho contents of the message, he shrugged 1 eloquent shoulder and dismissed the matter forthwith. There was noth , else to d'« with it. However much or little he may have appreciated Felix's good offices, heir portent did not disturb him hecuusc they were typical of the hit and lies system that prevails here. r irpo is loliowlllg ms own ideas ■«( londillons and everyone Is satis fied witli tliem, with the possible exception of the gentleman himself. Mis self esteem on I he eve of his bout with -lark Dempsey is col ossal. It is not a matter of record that I he rest of liis training menage hares h^s confidence in the impend ing issue. Oiip' of liis sparring part ners, whose identity is withheld for obvious reasons, had this to say today in connection with the fight: 'All that Dempsey needs to do Is t" keep shifting to liis right and Fir po will never hit him. Luis places It his reliance in his right hand, but he cannot land it if Dempsey steps to the right and at the same time I' els with a li ft hook. "Firpo is wide open for this punch. I can land It on him at will, hut my .inch lacks the power necessary to top his rushes and Invariably he ' ts to me. A harder puncher would sing him up short with a left hand. “We have tried to get Luis to load with his left and follow with his right in the orthodox manner, a but he cannot seem to learn. He ^ will lead with the left, then step back, set himself and let fly with the right. The case in a nutshell is that Firpo must depend on his old, free swinging stfde.

The neW champion is by no means the greatest of all the mlddelw'eight titleholders, but he is certainly the best man who has occupied the throne since Frank Klaus’ da3’. George segrist of the Fair bury club of the Nebraska State league ball team. Is another baseball mogul who wishes that the Southwestern Iowa baseball tourna ment which is held at Council Bluffs each summer would either go out of existence or make a rule preventing ball p!a3'ers in good standing from plajrlng In the tourney. Segrist, so the story rambles, had closed a deal with the St. Louis Cardinals whereby he would sell Pitcher Alters to the Cards at the end of the State league season, which closed Labor day. Segrlst was supposed to deliver Alters to the Cards this week. Alters asked for a couple of days vacation before going down to St. Louis. Segrlst Is sort of a oblig ing fellow and he granted Alters his vacation. So. before Alters left Falrbury, Segrlst mode ar rangments to meet his pitcher In Grid Prospects Rosy at Nebraska • — Spud Elliott, former Nebraska uni versity root ball player, visited Lin coln Tuesday and returned to Oma ha all bubbling over with good news about the prospects for football this year at Nebraska. Spud also thinks the University of Nebraska Btadlum, which 1* now under construction, is the most impressive structure he has ever seen. Elliott says he talked with Coach Dawson about the prospects for an other good team at Nebraska. "The Btory that came out. of Lin coln last week about the Nebraska line going to lie weak this year Is the bunk," says Elliott. "Dawson told me that he had 15 letter men, 18 freshmen and 20 others available this season and from this number should develop a strong line." The Nebraska stadium will not be completed in time for the opening of the grid season. The stadium, as it now stands will seat more than 16.000 persons. No turf is on the playing field and the gridsters will have to liattle on sawdust. The field will be sodded next spring. Phil Giel and Luis H. Storz. Omaha dog fanciers, have purchased im ported German police dogs and will exhibit them at the Nebraska Kennel club show in Omaha in November. Omaha. Tuesday, September 4. and from here the two would journey to St. Louis together. Alters came to Omaha last Sun day. Dunlap, la., got drift of Al ters' whereabouts and Immediately got in touch with Segrist's hurler. They made him a nice offer to fiitch against Corning in the finals of the Bluffs' tournament last Monday. Alters accepted. He pitched against Corning and the outlaw. Harry Manual!. He lost the game, but leeeived his money. Segrist came to Omaha, Tuesday, to meet Alters. The Falrbury man ager also met Barney Burch, owner of the Omaha Buffaloes. Barney In formed Segrist that Alters had played \-alnst Harry Manush. but didn't th\k anything more about It. All of a sudden Segrist let out a yell. HAGERMAN TO HURL FOR OILERS DURING FINAL LAP OF LEAGUE RACE L»|ut Champion!

All this has happened within the last five days. Yesterday the champion Oilers defeated Wichita, 13 t., rooking it five straight victories for Tulsa from Frank Isbell s slipping Witches. Wichita has lost the last 11 out of 15 games and is duo to loro more. Frank Greg ory’s pitching staff has cracked and while the club is hitting, it isn't getting the brand of hurling-that has kept the Witches at the top of the standings this far In the race. The Tulsa club officials are trying every way they know how to strengthen their hurling staff and make it two league championships in a row. A ruling in the league pro hib'ts a club from signing a player from higher or equal classification this late in the season. However, a team can sign a player from a league of lower classlfclation and that Is Just what Tulsa is doing. lesl'rdi) Tulsa purchased Pitch er Hagernian, leading hiirlor in the Oklahoma State leagu». He is also the leading hitter in the Oklahoma loop, being a long distance socker. He played with duelling. Several Mg league hurlers have looked this fellow over, but It re mained for Burk Friel, business manager of Tulsa, to purchase Hagernian. Tulsa hasn't got the best pitching staff in the Western league and the Oilers are trying to do everything possible to bolster the staff so that the Tulsa club can win the flag. Oklahoma City is fast on the heels of the Oilers. The Indians have a hurling staff that has improved won derfully since the start of the season. It would not surprise us to see the Indians take the lead away from the Oilers before long. Of course, if the Oilers continue to strengthen their hurling staff, thereby giving their bent hurlera plenty or rest between Ram**, It will l>e a banl matter for iny club to t-.k* tlio leail away from the Oiler* For skin blemishes "^Resinol Don't be annoyed and embarraffied any longer by an ugly, blotchy skin Apply a little Kesinol Ointment and r.*e Rcsinn!
