Jack Arrives Wan ^ Looking in Salt Lake By Associated Press. Salt Lake City, July 6.—Jack Demp aey, world’s heavyweight champion boxer, reached here today fresh from his July 4 battle with Tommy Gibbons at Shelby, Mont. Hardly a person at the railroad depot recognized Jack, and accompanied by his father he made a hurried trip to the residence of his mother. "I'm disappointed over not knock ing out Tommy Gibbons.” Dempsey told reporters, "but I found him a pretty lough boxer. * "I don’t know what I will do next. Kearns is making arrangements for a bout In the east, possibly with Harry Wills, in New York.” . Dempsey looked wan and tired. His left eye was black and his face showed the signs of pummeling. "Are you’ hurt anywhere," he was asked. "Not an injury,” he replied. "I didn’t get hit real hard after the first two or 'three rounds.” "What seemed to be the matter. Jack,” he was asked, "why did all your blows fall short—the kind you usually deliver with telling results?” ”1 did miss quite a few of them I guess, but he was a clever little boxer, one of the hardest that I have gone against.” he answered. Dempsey will spend the next few days visiting hts mother and will aWait word from Jack Kearns, his manager, before he will know of his *** next move.

Washington, July 6.—Moving pic tures of the Dernpsey-Gibbons prize fight will not be shown outside of Montana If the Department of Jus tice can prevent It. Assistant Attorney General Crlm, In charge of criminal prosecutions, said today that In anticipation of an effort to market the fight films he had given emphatic orders some time ago to frustrate any such attempt. William J. Burns, chief of the bureau of in vestigation, and his agents were di rected to watch closely for any move to violate the federal statutes by the marketing of the films and the assist ant attorney general Raid that prose cutions certainly would follow any at tempt to transport them in inter state commerce. Harry Lewis to Referee ^ illartl-Firpo Go July 12 By Associated Press. Trenton, N. J., July 6.—Boxing Commissioner Bigbee today announced the selection of Harry Lewis of New ark ns the referee of the Flrpo-Wil lard match at Jersey City July 12. James J. Jefferies Was recently named as referee by Tex Rickard, but the commission’s rules, requiring a. resident referee, barred hirn. Bod < hambers of Wichita, nod Jack Lawrence of Chicago, will meet In ibe Mcmt-windup to the S hlaifer-tong fish* at Cudahy’s boxing show next Wednesday night. WITH the Dcmpsey-Oibbons brawl history and Shelby, Mont., trying to forget its great fistic dud, the fight world in general can turn toward the coming Jess Willard Liiia Firpo fight. While not a championship affair, ^Jess and Luis will exchange wallops in Boyles' Thirty Acres next Thurs day to see Just who Is Champion Jack Dempsey's next opponent. Willard has held the title, but Firpo is one of those heavyweight flowers who hasn’t blossomed Into full bloom, but ex pects to after July 12th. Firpo, sinre landing on tills side of the creek, ha* been advanced up the piigilisitic ladder very carefully. The object wa* to get Luis Hi the right path for a crack at Dempsey. So far he has progressed nicely and what's more, Luis ha* won easily ever all opixineiits who have flopped : Into the ring with him. Whether Firpo lias the ability that Justifies all this praise is Sonin as thing which will be determined next Thursday when he takes on Willard, If he can knock over the husky Jess lie will have achieved something (hat a lot of heavy weight* have failed to do. And that will mean for him honor and riches and perhaps some day, not very far off, a eraek at the heavyweight champion of the world. But if old Willard knocks over the pride of the Argentine, then the glory will ho gone for Firpo. But even then he will have the solace of knowing that he has lived his hour— that he reached the heights even If he didn’t hold them, such as no fighter ever achieved In South America—and as few have known In North America. EVEIt notice that first basemen al ways have been among the most famous of the long distance applo knockers? An unwritten law of the game, nl most since It began, seems to require that Initial sack guardians must not he merely big men, but powerful hitters. The law has been obeyed. Anson was one of the game's greatest clubber*—ami lie played first base. Brnuthrrs, Doyle, Orr, Conner, Larkin—all were famous hilsmilhs—and they all played the initial sack. Stovall, Kossnmn, Lurtenis, Davis, Merkle, Konetrhy, Stahl, Bums, Chase—they wrre only a few of the many first basemen of the none too distant past who could hammer a. hall with terrific power. Konetrhy, you all know, plays first for I lie Omaha Buffaloes, hot Kd is getting along In years and while lie i louts the ol* hall at a merry dip In (lie Western, lie's ■ lipping. Luderu* Is the same way. Fred pla.vs with Oklahoma < lly. Coining down to the present day, f pre finds Siller, Kelly, I'ipp, Dnu bprt, JVdgp, Mylnnl*, Blue. ShPely and IlftuHPr—all nf them first basp nun—taking rank among tho prolific clouters. So it is the law of the game that a first baseman must be a heavy hitter as well as cavort around the Initial Park good enough to hold his position In fielding. TIS said around town that golf Is an .old man’s game. Maybe It Is, but If you glance at the age record* of the present golf cham pions you will find that the great Scottish pastime la played by the younger men of the country na well as the old. doss Sweeper, the I'nlted States amateur champ, is 25. tjene Sarazcn, I'nited States open tit I,-holder, is one year older than Sweetser, while Wethered, the British amateur champ, is 24 years old. Havers, British open champ, is 25 and Miss tiicnnii Collett, I'nited States wo men's champion, is only 19 years old. And still they say golf is an old man’s game.
