Dempsey and Firpo Quit
Shaving Until After Friday
Bout—Bull of Pampas
Is Grunting Champ.
Kearns Counting Coin
By FRED S. H ENTER.
Staff Correspondent The Omaha Bee.
New York, Sept. 11.—News of stu
pendous Importance came out of the
rival training camps today, and
sporting circles here are all aflutter.
Dempsey and Firpo have quit shav
ing until after the fight. Thus will
the first skirmish in the conflict for
the heavyweight championship of the
world go to the gladiator who suc
ceeds in propagating the most fero
cious looking whiskers.
Students of pugilism tell us that
there is sound reasoning behind this
scheme of outrageous hirsute adorn
ment. They say that a stubble of
black beard helps prevent annoying
cuts in the face from chopping blows.
Yet, we recall distinctly that Tommy
flibbons not long ago came into a
20-foot ring (that's correct, that's all
the law allows in Montana)) with the
clean, pink tinted cheeks of a baby,
and he didn't fare so badly.
Dempsey Has Experience.
But no matter, Dempsey and Firpo
are determined to fight it out for the
whisker championship, and no doubt
the race will be close, although the
odds probably are with Dempsey, who
** has had much experience in this line.
There is one honor, however, that
we venture to predict Firpo_ will re
tain without greatly exerting him
self. That's the grunting champion
ship. We have no hesitancy or fear
of contradiction in right now declar
ing Firpo the longdistance grunting
champion of the universe. s*
Looic also is po slouch at gritting
Ills teeth.
Every time the terrible toreador
of Terra del Fuego decided to let one
go, he first grits his teeth, then
swings and grunts. The swing may
miss—most often it does—but the
grunt, never. Omaha fans will re
member how Luis grunted in the late
unpleasantness with Homer Smith.
He was a big league grunter then,
and now he has Improved 1,000 per
cent. His grunts in the training
camp at Atlantic City almost drown
out the boom of the surf on the
beach.
Dempsey Outpointed.
Dempsey has been known to do
some grunting as he slips home his
left hook, but it never was in the
class with Flrpo's and that's one
point where the champion may ns
well make up his mind he will be
outpointed.
itfV A new arrival in New York today
was Slons. Jack Kearns, the famous
financier, who did so much to solve
the financial problems of the state
of Montana. Kearns Is not expected
to duplicate his Montana coup ip
New York. The bucket shops here
have beaten him to it.
Kearns has left the Dempsey camp
and will remain here until after the
fight. He has much to do. His most
important job will be to count Demp
sey's end. which, Judging from the
advance sale of tickets, probably will
keep him fairly busy until after Fri
day.
Tapir Off Training.
Both Dempsey and Firpo have be
gun to taper off their training, and
Wednesday likely will see little real
work done in either camp. Then
. Thursday, with the exception of a lit
tle exercise, will l>e a day of rest.
Dempsey has heen working his head
off in the training camp, whereas
Firpo has heen taking things about
as easily as he dared.
Firpo apparently has (he same In
tense dislike for training that most
fighters have. Dempsey, no doubt,
possesses the same feeling, hut he is
able to overcome it, although it is
true that Dempsey seldom obtains
sparring partners oapable of making
him go at top speed, His sparring
partners at Saratoga have heen of
the usual calibre and quite unequal
to the task of Improving the cham
pion's boxing powers In any way.
The same applies to Flrpo's camp,
only more so. In addition, Firpo has
shirked his other responsibilities, par
ticularly road work. Dempsey does
do road work. He goes on the road
each morning and he runs.
nrpo s r.yes (>oo<i.
Firpo has been doing his road work
on the board walk and he merely
jogs along or walks. Mostly he walks.
Firpo has keen eyesight and one Is
better able to appreciate the attrac
tions of the beach at Atlantic City
when proceeding at a most leisurely
gait. Firpo also did a little exercising
via the wheel-chalr route, which is
admirable exercise for a Inxy man or
a sufferer from chronic rheumatism.
If Friday night's championship
fight Is destined to go the fulf dis
tance of 15 rounds, It's a cinch l>mp
sey Is the better prepared of the two
to keep going at full speed.
Like most all other experts, Tom
my Gibbons today cut loose with a
prophesy on the outcome of the bout.
He predicts the Argentinian will pass
out of the picture within six rounds.
Tommy declares Firpo Is over
matched, that he hasn't had the ex
perience. that he lacks the speed, etc.
In other words. Tommy Is intimating
that he himself could take Louis An
gel to a trimming. Well, maybe he
can.

Dr. Callfas Urges
Probe of Dineen
and Wappieh
_
Governor Bryan Should In
vestigate Anti-Saloon League
Charges, Says Omaha
Woman.
Special Dispatch t« The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, Sept. 11.—Dr. Jennie Call
fas of Omaha declared today that in
her opinion Governor Charles W.
Bryan should demand an investiga
tion of charges preferred against Po
lice Judges William Wappieh and
Frank Dineen ’ y F. A. High, superin
tendent ofathe Anti-saloon league.
"Truthfully, I don't know whether
they are true of not," Doctor Callfas
said. "But so much has been printed
about them, so many charges have
been preferred that I believe it would
be a good thing for all concerned if
an investigation were held. If Gover
nor Bryan asks me anything about it
I shall tell him exactly what I said
today.”
The chief object of the visit of
Doctor Callfas was to lrttercede In be
half of McKinley Madison, who ap
peared before the state board of par
dons and parolea today seeking a
parole.
"The bay has worked for me and
frienda of mine for years In Omaha
and there Isn't anything criminal In
hts makeup," Doctor Callfas said.
"He got drunk one day and forged a
small check."
The case of Paul McCoy, 507 Car
back avenue, Omaha, puzzled the
board when MeCoy appeared before
him. McCoy presented an affidavit
signed by Arthur Holbrook, an In
mate of the hoys’ Industrial school at
Kearney, stating that he Instead of
McCoy held up and robbed J. L. Hand
of Lincoln. It was for this holdup
that McCoy Is serving time.
Hand, the victim of the holdup,
also appeared before the hoard and
asserted that he wanted MeCoy as he
wasn't certain of his identity. McCoy j
asserted that he never talked to Hol-j
brook but once, the night he was ar
rested in Lincoln and Holbrook was I
being held In the same cell for a
minor defense.

One House
Legislature
Proposed
New Proposal to Be Pushed at
Initiative Election by Sen
ator Otto Mutz of
Lincoln.
Would Abolish Senate
By P. C. TOW ELL,
Staff Correspondent The Omaha Be*.
Lincoln, Sept. 11.—The list of laws
to be initiated at the next election re
celved an addition today. State Sen
ator Otto Mutz of Lincoln announced
that he had prepared petitions for re
ferring a one-house legislature to
voters in 1924. The list of referen
dums for 1924 follows:
Repeal of civil administrative code
and substitution of executive coun
ell plan of government, by Governor
Charles W. Bryan.
Repeal of intangible tax law, by
Governor Bryan
Set of new water power bills on
Initiative, by Goverrtor Bryan.
One-house legislature, by Former
State Senator Mutz.
Mutz says that Congressman Edgar
Howard of Columbus had endorsed
his plan. He has written to J. N.
Norton of Polk for a similar endorse
ment. Norton introduced a similar
bill when in the legislature several
years ago. Another such bill was In
troduced in the legislature last win
ter by Hardin of Franklin. United
States Senator George W. Norris has
urged a similar plan.
Mutz plans to eliminate the state
senate. He would have the house of
representatives with its present mem
bership of 100, the sole law making
body, and would place the lieutenant
governor in command.
The Norris plan is to eliminate one
body entirely and reduce the size of
the other by one half, or more. Sen
ator Norris would extend the length
of the law-making period and would
also increase the present salaries of
state law makers.
A committee of 20 will be appointed
to circulate th»v petitions. Alanson
Chapman of Lincoln will be secre
tary.

B* ralversal Vrrk,
Paris. Sept. 11.—"If tYance accepts

This opinion of a high official Is

the defeat and failure of the Poincare
