PART TWO OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1923. 1—B FIVE CENTS Slow Motion Pictures Testify to Terrific Power of Firpo’s Right-Hand Punch --- ( Dempsey’s Knees Sag After First Looping Wallop Wild Bull Hits Champion Nine Times Before Put ting Him Through Ropes. YORK, Sept. 15.— The greatest bat tie in the history of pugilism was refought tonight, That great firsl round of the boul at the Pole grounds last nighl ywas siiuwn newspaper men in slow motion pic lures, Klvlnp them inn chance to re observe every detail of the battle which, in nctuality. w< nt so swiftly and furiously that it was Impossible to keep account of everything that happened. The pictures showed that Jack Dempsey knocked Luis Angel Firpo down seven times In the first round. Once the Argentine was flat on his back for the count of nine; another time he was knocked to a sitting position, and the other five times he was either on his hands and knees or his hands alone touched the can -d «nn these five knockdowns, take a count. It was explained that he could not under stand English and he was taking "no chances" on the referee reaching 10 before he was on his feet sgain. Dempsey fought like a tiger In that first round, taking every advantage of his South American opponent. Scarcely had Firpo's hands left the canvas when the champion rushed in and pounded him with those terri fic hooks that crashed again and again against Firpo's skull. When Firpo was knocked flat on his back he lay near a corner. Tho champion stepped over his prostrate form, wait ing. As Firpo started to rise after the sixth knockdown, Dempsey dart ed around him like a great cat, keep ing behind his adversary. As Firpo turned and tried to face pempsey ns he rose, Dempsey kept behind, th^n when he saw Firpo's hands had left the floor he sprang at his opponent, soon sending him crashing to the canvas again. The pictures also showed the tre mendous power that lay behind that right of Firpo's. The first blow Fir po hit Dempsey caused the cham pion's knees to sag. Firpo hit the champion nine straight times with his right Just before Dempsey went . -sprawling through the ropes and into “the laps of newspaper men. Those rights came one after another, re lentlessly powerful, each driving the •hamplon nearer and nearer to the •dge of the ring. As the eighth •rashed into Dempsey 's jaw his head hopped and his knees wobbled. From the puietures It appeared that •h" eighth blow had finished Demp sey. Many of those who saw them believed that had Firpo let the cham pion go on the canvas after that blow he might not have gotten up. At least, they said, it would have given the challenger an excellent opportunity •o let loose with another smashing ilow that could have written finis to he struggle when the champion was >n his feet again. But the ninth blow sent Dempsey ;nto the realm of the spectators, and It was agreed that a newspaper man's lap is softer than the floor of a prize ring. There was much controversy after the fight as whether it was a push or punch that sent Dempsey, with, hfs~arms and legs flying In the • lr, out of the ring. It was hard to tell, even from the slow pictures. It was not a swift, decisive blow, such ss the others that had come in con tact with the "man killer.” Yet It was not a shove. To the average man It would have been ewlft and decisive enough, but to Dempsey—It may have been a shove. The real ehoving came as Dempsey Struggled back Into the ring. He * ,Jialf crawled through the rope and the newspaper men who sat with their heads Just above the level of the floor, pushed him through. Once in the ring again and fax ing the wild bull, Dempsey took thir teen straight blows In-fore he was able to return one. Flrpo sent one after another at. the champion, who finally fell in a clinch, and swung rights and left* until the gong sounded to end that memorable round. In the seven times that Dempsey knocked Firpo down in the first round lie used Ills famous left hook for the Job five times. On tlie fourth knockdown he used a left uppercut to the body and on the fifth he delivered a powerful right swing to the head. All the left hooks ronerted wtlh Firpo's head. Slow pictures of the second round were not shown, but flic regular speed film showed how the cham pion tore Into his opponent from the start, sending him to Ihc floor once and then Hgaln for the count. As the referee brought down his grin on the final count the huge South American was trying to turn over, lie was on Ills hands and knees, Ills head drooping, and lie was about to give up and topple to the floor again. Uempsey caught him as “ten" was called and helped him to his corner.

Coach Wynne Takes Up Duties as Head Mentor at Creighton; New Methods Prevail This Year Coach Chet Wynne, one of the moit illustrious grid figures in the annuls of the game at Notre Dame, yester day took up his duties ss head coach of the Creighton university football team. Tho Blue grldstera have been going through conditioning exercises for some time now, and the first workout was rather stiff in view of tills fact. Returning to punts, passing, pivoting and such exercises were on the pro gram, width was followed by the entire sqyad doing several laps around the field. Among the old faces present were Captain McAlter, Mahoney, Reupke, Yschout, Hpolcher, Kean, Van Acke ran, (layer, Neary and Kuhn. Beriog llo, Ttenolken, lllckey, Ktewsrt and Fitzgibbon are some of last year’s freshmen who were also present at the first workout. Creighton this year will witness an entire change In the method of coach ing and piny, according to Wynne Heretofore the Creighton method has been to subject the varsity candi dates In a heavy scrimmage program, lonsiNtlng of an hour or more of this each evening. This year, however, things will lie different. The program will lie none the less strenuous ns outlined by Wynne, but will lie along different lines, deelgiird to give the best results In the least possible time. This year Creighton has but nine days of practice in which to prepare for Its Initial game, which will he played against Midland at Fremont on September 29. Hhe Midland**?*, who last year were champions of the Nebraska conference, have been prac tlclng for three weeks now, and al ready have their team whipped Into good shape. With the exception of ♦ wo letter men. they will have th^ same teatn that scored two touch downs on Crelgtnhn Inst year. The influx **f promising material clue to ♦ heir holding the title has also been noticeable this year, according to of flcial* there. This year the wearer* of the blue will scrimmage but one day per week, each man actually scrimmaging but one half hour This period Is suf ficient to give the candidate* the experience of being under fir#and per fect the plays against competition. No one will scrimmage who doe* not first know the plays perf* ctiy, as they will he taught In a course of I4n«k hoard lecture* by Wynne After learning the plays, the candidate will then he ready to scrimmage. Most Injuries which owur during s**rim mage are the result «*f ?u»*n not know Ing what io do, says Wynne The floating pass, a modified s>s tem of the Notre flame shift, and dieting will h»* some of the new things Instituted by Wynne Uiis year# * BASEBALL RESULTS 'and STANDINGS/ WESTERN LKAlitk.

Itv RALPH WAGNER. I C K CULLOP, />m\ I husky, white | \ I I haired and an all jV X I1 around good fel low, further dia X tlnguiahed him self as a baseball swatsmlth y e s terday In the first Kama of the Omaha - Wichita series when he knocked a home run over the high left field fence In the ninth VInning that tied the score and started a rally which led the herd to a 4 to 3 victory over the Witches. I'p until the ninth frame It was the Buffaloes all the way. The herd got out In front with a two-run lead in the very first Inning and were kick ing dust In the face of the Witches until the ninth. The visitors suc ceeded in cutting Omaha's lead down to one run In the fourth, but at that, the Buffaloes were in front and held that position until the ninth. In the first half of the ninth the Witches slapped Byron Bpeeee for a double and three singles, and these, coupled with a base on balls and a sacrifice, resulted In two runs which, added to the one they chalked up In the fourth, tied the oT score, 3 to 3. Cullop Some Hitter. The rear end of the Buffalo batting list came to the plate In Omaha a section of the final inning. Cullop wa* the first to hat. He knocked one of Hovlik'a deliveries high over the left field scoreboard fence for the home run that tied the count. Nick Is getting to be quite handy with the bat at the opportune time. In the last game of the Oklahoma series Cullop slammed out a single that scored Konetchy with the tally that heat the Indians. In th« first game with Oklahoma City. Nick clouted out a home run In the 12th Inntng and the herd won. Cullop's home run yesterday only tied the score and It remained for the rest of his teammates to lend a hand In winning the game. Wetzel followed Nick to hat and walked. Wilder sac r.flced Frank to second and Speece came through with a aingle, sending Wetzel to third. With one down, Johnny Kerr hit wifely for the first time in five times at bat. But of ill the hits Johnny has smacked out on the home field this year, his timely single In the ninth yesterday that scored Wetzel with the winning run was the prize blngle of thPm all. Speece Hurls Good Ball. Speeee was on the mound for the Buffaloes and finally turned in a victory over Wichita, thanks to Cul lop. Wetzel, himself and Kerr. The last tune Wichita played here they heat him. 4 to 3. 3est»rday Si eece got sweet revenge The Buffalo hurler pitched one of the best gsmea of hts Omaha career. He was hit hard. Wichita got 1* hits, but when the occasion pre sented Itself, Byron hurled wonderful baacball. Four times during the af ternoon he retired the side by t^e strikeout route with men on the bases and twice he fanned three men In auccesaton with the bases full. That's pitching hall, mates. All In all he whiffed eight batsmen. In the fifth with the score 2 to 1 In favor of Omaha, Wichita got two men on the bases before a single out. Hovllk then whiffed and Smith sin gled, filling the bases. Her© Speece pitched ball. He fanned both Butler and Orlffin. retiring the side. In the sixth Blakesley knocked a high one out to deep center field. His hit was ticketed for three baee*. but .roe Bonowltz raced back against the fence In deep. d' i"p, center field and speared the drive with one mitt. A wonderful catch. McDowell then doubled. One man was out. Here Speece was again called upon to dis play has ability under fire llej turned Conlan and Beck lairk via strike outs, thus preventing what might have been a scots or two. Kd Hovllk didn't allow the Buffa loeg as many hits as Speece allowed, but the herd bunched Ihelr blngteg on the Wichita hurler and won the game. The game wag marred by the poor base umpiring of Oaffney. A double header will be played this afternoon. Buckeye* Start Practice.

Gardner scored a 39 'a-14. Bobby Jones of Atlanta, open champion, and Chick Bvana of Chi cago, each did 38 37-75. This was good enough, so they can rest easy over the week end. Jesse Sweetser. defending his title, played an *0. This was a popular figure. Francis Quimet. Boston, was another of the "80" men. There were .14 in all ahd 20 players were in the 70s Gardner was the only starter to equal the par of 74. With 34 players at the 80 mark or better and with many good ones bunched between 81 and 85, there w-111 be the usual scramble to qualify when the f.nal IS holes are contested on I Monday. Cluck Evans, that master shot maker, put confidence into his friends bv the splendid wav In which he hit I the ball tn his first round. He had that same, well controlled, alow back swing and then came into the ball without effort end it sailed far enough .and always on the proper line. His only mistakes were on the putting greens where three time* he took three putts. The other good ones did well.
