Slow Motion Pictures Testify to Terrific Power of Firpo’s Right-Hand Punch

EW YORK, Sept. 15.—
The greatest bat
, tin in the history
of pugilism was re
fought last night
That great first
i round of the bout
at the Polo
grounds last night
was shown to
newspaper men in
slow motion pic
tures, giving them
a chance to re
observe every detail of the battle
which, in actuality, went 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 tho Argentine was flat on his
hack 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 hi* hands alone touched the can
vas. On these five knockdowns,
Firpo didn't 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 again.
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 tho 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 tin his back
he lay near a corner. The 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 Dempsey as
he rose, Dempsey kept behind, then
when he saw Firpo’s hands had left
tlie 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 ropee and into
the laps of newspaper men. Those
rights came one after another, re
lentlessly powerful, each driving the
champion nearer and nearer to the
edge of the ring. As the eighth
crashed into Dempsey's jaw his head
dropped and Ills knees wobbled.
From lha. pulctures It appeared that
the 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
to let loose with another smashing
blow that could have written finis to
the struggle when the champion was
on his feet again.
But the ninth biow sent Dempsey
Into the realm of the spectators, and
it. was agreed that a newspaper man’s
lap is softer than the floor of a prize
ling. There was much controversy
after the fight ns whether it was a
push or punch that sent Dempsey,
with his arms and legs flying in the
air, out of the ring. It was hard to
tell, even from the slow pictures. It
was not a swift, decisive blow, such
as the others that had come in con
tact with the "man killer.’’ Tet It
was not a shove. To the average
man It would have been ewift and
decisive enough, but to Dempsey—it
may have been a shove.
The real shoving came as Dempsey
btruggled back Into the ring. He
half 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 facing
the wild bull, Dempsey took thir
teen straight blows before he was
able to return one. Firpo sent one
after another at tlie champion, who
finally fell in a clinch, and swung
rights and lefts until the gong
sounded to end that memorable
round.
In the seven times that Dempsey
knocked Firpo down in tlie first
round he used lilts famous left hook
for the Job five times. On the fourth I
knockdown he used a left upperrut
to the body and on the fifth he
delivered a powerful right swing
to the head. All the left hooks
«■< net ted wtlli Firpo's head.
Slow pictures of the second round
were not shown, but the regular
speed film showed bow tlie cham
pion tore into bis opponent from
tlie start, sending him to the floor
onre and then again for the count.
As the referee brought down his
arm on tlie final count the huge
South American was trying to turn
over, lie was on Ills hands and
knees, his head drooping, anti' lie
was about to give up and topple to
tlie floor again. Dempsey caught
him as “ten” was railed and helped
hint to his corner.

Rain Stops Games
at League Park
Ftj RALPH WAGNER.
Ed Konetchy’s Omaha Buffaloes
and Howard Gregory's Wichita
Witches didn't get a chance to do
their "stuff’ yesterday In the double
header scheduled for the Fifteenth
and Vinton streets park.
Crying, on the part of 01’ Jupiter
Pluvius, that started in the morning
and continued throughout the after
noon, ruined what chances the
Buffaloes anti Witches had of playing
two games. It was the last Sunday
double-header of the season in Omaha,
too.
The Witches were all primed to
take a pair of victories from tlie
Buffaloes, George Boehler was on
the mound for the herd and in the
very first inning the enemy scored a
run. Boehler allowed three hits and
hit a batsman in the first, but you
couldn’t blame a pitcher for allow
ing hits under such weather condi
tions as were evident at the park
yesterday.
When the Wichita half of the first
Inning ended, Umpire Gaffney called
the games because of wet grounds,
damp weather and an all-around bad
afternoon.
Tulsa Invades Omaha today, but the
Oilers will not arrive in town in time
to open this afternoon. So the Buf
faloes and Oilers will be idle today.
A. double-header Is on tap for Tues
day and the final game of the season
in Omaha will he played Wednesday,
flag-raising day.
Dundee Refuses to Fight.
Cleveland, Sept. 10.—A 12-round
boxing bout scheduled to take place
here last night between Johnny Dun
dee, featherweight champion, and
George Chaney of Baltimore was de
clared off after Dundee refused to go
on because he had not received the
promised financial guarantee.
A crowd estimated at close to 10,000
gathered to see the contest.
