Speece Is Touched
for Six Runs and
Herd Loses to Soos
Byron Allows Six Counters in
First Inning Before Retired,
and Omaha Is Defeated
by 6 to 1 Score.
— YRON SPEECE was
. selected to pose
[ is pitcher aRainst
i .Sioux City In the
1 last (rajpe of the
series yesterday
and that nias
luerads cost
Dmaha the game.
The Packers hop
ped right on to
jpeece’s offerings
md had counted
tix times when
'he top of the
tatting list came
iround to con
:lnue the assault.
It was not until then that Manager
Konetchy jerked Speeee in favor of
Alay, who retired the side and held
them scoreless until the ninth when
he was relieved by Lee when Cullop
pinched for him in the eighth. The
game ended 6 to 1. Omaha’s lone tally
being recorded in the ^hird inning
when O'Connor w’aiked and camo
home on Wilcox's sharp double into
left.
Outside of the first inning when
the Sioux counted their half dozen
scores, the game was an interesting
and dose one. The Towans collected
six of their 10 hits in the opening
stanza, Buckshot May holding them
to four scattered safeties during the
time he essayeij the mound trick.
Schuman, who was a doormat during
the entire series, took a revengeful
attitude and held the Buffaloes to an
•ven five hits, no two coming in the
frrae inning.
That Fatal First Inning.
The story of Speece's masquerade
sorted when Moore smacked out a
single to score when Olsen boosted a
high one over the right field fence
for a circuit passage. Palmer filed
to Wetzel and Snyder got a life when
Kerr bumbled around with his liner
through short. Oinglardl doubled
hiw to third and both scored when
Ml'an boosted one Into the left field
for two sacks. McDonald singled
buf - Milan was held on second ahd
both runners advanced a bag when
nUrchild grounded out to first.
Schuman scored both runners with a
double into center and not until then
wits Speeee given the air in fHvor
of May. Moore, up for the second
lime that inning, grounded out to
K'hetehy to retire the side.
'..'he work of Buckshot May was in
dfJid worthy of praise. Called to the
nr' und when the aioux had sharpened
thflr hatting eyes, ho retired the
side and pitched air-tight ball through
th» eighth only to give way to Nicki
Cittlop as a pinch hitter, the latter
singling but died on first. Lee suc
reMied on the mound in the ninth
lint the Packers were retired in
straight order.
Hally in Ninth llalteil.
*' With two down In the second,
• Konetchy tripled into center but th<|
buffaloes were retired when Wetzel
fouled out to McDonald off thin|
base. It looked like the held might
stage a rally in the ninth when
Brown, who pinched for Pizer,
singled, took second on a passed ball
and third while O’Connor was pegged
out at first. But Wilcox apd
Konetchy couldn't connect with
Schuman's puzzlers and the game
ended.
Omaha left for Denver last night
where they will open a series at the
Colorado metropolis today. The team
will not return to the home lot until
September 8 when Bt. Joseph opens
i here.

Firpo Trains as Though
Rehearsing for Pink Tea
By DAVIS J. WALSH
New York. Aug. 27.—At the risk
of being discourteous to a prominent
and wealthy guest the writer feel* it
incumbent to suggest at this moment
that Luis Angel Firpo is making no
serious attempt to prepare himself
for his impending fight with Jack
Dempsey. It lacks just 18 days of
the time when Firpo will be asked
to face the crisis of his fistic career.
Eighteen days of preparation were
not considered enough for Dempsey,
the champion. They are hardly
enough for Firpo, the challenger.
Yet the latter has not de“ined it
necessary to settle down to the busi
ness of real training, according to
advices from Altantic City. His
policy indicates either super-con
fidence or super-ignorance and they
are equally fatuous.
Heeds No Precedent.
Carpentier put in two months of
intensive training in an effort to
gauge the dL^tance to the ring floor>
Gibbons and Dempsey were working
for the Shelby affair six weeks be
fore its scheduled date. Willard and
Dempsey were at Toledo many weeks
before their fight. Jeffries and John
son trained for their Reno meeting
for months.
Firpo went to Atlantic City a trifle
more than three weeks in advance of
the Dempsey bout. As yet he hardly
can be said to have improved each
shining hour. Brief workouts with
three sparring partner*, of the fiat
wheel variety, have been the order.
The partner* are Jeff Clark, erstwhile
Joplin Ghost, a near-beer variety, with
the speed of a Percheron, and an Ar
gentine heavyweight of doubtful ac
complishment. They are supposed
to give Firpo some idea of what
Dempsey’s style may be. and no doubt
they do.
Another element In the Da tin’s so
called preparation is known as Angel
Horatio Lavell. He is Kirpo's new
trainer by proxy, the actual condi
tioning being directed by Fell*
Bunge, who remains in Buenos Aireg
and therefore is in a tactical position
to know how much actual work Firpo
may need each day, the actual stage
of Firpo's development since return
ing to America, reaction to climatic
conditions and everything.
Neither Bunge, the director, nor
Bavelle. the mouthpiece, has seen
Dempsey In action. Firpo himself has
never watched his prospective oppo
nent. They are sublime In their igno
rance of the champion's strong points
and weaknesses, if any. They appar
ently are the type of men who sit
around and solve the cross wor t
puzzle.
In fact the entire business is some
what mysterious. Perhaps Kearni ^
and Dempsey have decided that they
must pluck Firpo before he is ripe;
perhaps they fear that the plum will
sour if left too long. Perhaps Firpo
Is the greatest fighter that ever lived
and dosn't need training. Time wUl
tell. ' ^

Eugene Criqui
Says “Scotch Wop”
Will Hold His Own
With Ben Leonard
Praises Dundee
By international \twi fterrirt.
Paris. Aug. 17.—"Johnny Dundee
is the best boxer I ever saw. He
will hold hi* own with Benny Leon
ard when they meet September 5.”
It was Eugene Criqui, poilu ol
Verdun, speaking, just hack frotr
a disastrous and at tha tame timt
triumphal trip to America.
The Ireneh featherweight wouit
not say that Dundee will dfea
leonard, but he looks for thi
"Scotch Wop" to give a good ac
count of himself.
Criqui. a keen student of boxing,
regards Dundee as supreme among
the featherweights.
"He ha* promised me a return
bout and I still hate high hopes ol
et entu.il success." is Criqui’s only
reservation to Dundee's greatness*
“Eventual success" to Criqui and
his manager. Robert Endelin, meant
only one thing—re-winning the
world's featherweight title. To that
end Criqui will return to America
probably in I tecember, to prepare
for his second assault on the feath
erweight stronghold.
Men Wlio Fought Firpo Comment
on His Chances With Champion
By CHARMS* WLINKRT.
Newark. N. J . Aug. 27 —Notwith
standing the fart that Luis Firpo
knocked me out in two rounds. ! don't
think he will go a round with Jack
Dempsey.
I found Firpo so easy to hit in the
first round of our fight in Philadel
phia that I thought the scrap was
going to he a cinch for me to win.
I did not think it was necessary
to cover myself the way I got to him
in that first round.
If Dempsey cuts loose in the first
round, as he can cut loose when he
wants to I think he will stop Firpo
in less than two minutes of fighting
Firpo is one of the easiest fighters
to hit that I have ever been up
against.
We all know how Champion Demp
sey can hit when he lets go Nr.d
Firpo will he such an easy target for
him it looks like * mighty quick fin
ish for "the wild bull of the Pampas"
to me.

Detroit. Mich . Aug 27—Jack
Ik-mpsey will retain his hea\yweight
championship when he meets Luis

I know, but I believe he iin't quite
ready for the champion. Firpo and
J are warm personal friend*, and I
am sorry that he Is meeting Dempsey
at this time I wag rushed along too
fast, and I think Firpo's handler* ar*
mak ng the same mistake. If Firpo
catches Dempsey with one of hli long

an excellent chance to whip Dempsey.
The South American is a terrific
puncher and is tough While he
hasp t ihc experience nr the skill of
Ivunpsey. he has the fighting heart
and the punch. It looks like an even
battle to me. and the first one
land a real hard punch on a ^Tal

IVmpsey has never met a man like
