* Dempsey Says Firpo Is Hard Fast Puncher Peculiar Right Swing of Wild' Bull Is Hard to Figure and Dodge. By DAVIS J. WALSII. New York. Oct. 27.—In view of the fact that a roundelay of comment, mostly adverse, follower’ the note worthy failure of Jack Dempsey to sidestep, slip and otherwise eschew all unpleasant acquaintance with Luis Flrpo’s right hnnd, it may be of mo ment to hear what the champion him self has to say on the subject in a semi-private conversation with friends after the fight Dempsey is said to have admitted that he didn't avoid Firpo’s right because he couldn't. That explanation, is, of course, logic itself. Yet it is a surprising one in view of the Latin’s almost loutisli awkwardness and the fact that Bill Brennan and others did not experi ence the same difficulty. According to Dempsey, the human bearskin shoots his right so peculiar ly that he, Dempsey, found himself without defense against it: Willard Is alleged to have expressed similar views. Firpo, therefore, must have something besides a chestful of hair and a mean disposition. "Firpo feints with the right and then shoots it in in such a peculiar manner that I couldn't keep away from the punch,” Dempsey is alleged to have declared. "I had some idea of boxing him for five or six rounds, but when he hit me twice with the right in the first 10 seconds of the tight I realized that I would have to get him quick 05 he might get me. “I felt that I could take it better than he could early in the fight. But if it went beyond five or six rounds I might not have been able to come hack so readily from one of those right-handers. Firpo is the heaviest puncher I ever faced. It would have been bad business to waste time with him.” It is of interest to note that Demp sey faced two men of diametrically op posed types In his last two starts— namely, Firpo and Tom Gibbons. The latter is a boxer and headslipper, with a sharp, rather than a heavy punch. "Gibbons’ punch has an odd effect,” Dempsey told the writer, ae we rode together from Shelby to Salt Lake City, after the fight. "It burns as though he had a hot Iron in his glove.” "Could he hive knocked you out with It?” wo hnvjlred. "You bet your life!” was the instant reply. “Gibbons’ punch on or near the button might goal any man." That is a great thing about Demp sey. He never underrates an oppo nent n5r overrates himself. Webster'* definition of success could not be ex pressed with greater clarity or apt! tude. Tournament On. The Professional Men’s Singles Vol ley Ball championship play opened yesterday at the Y. M.

London, Oct. 27.—The golfing ex pert of the Observer says that 1923 will go down in golf history ns the period that marked the definite eclipse of the old brigade and the rise of a new generation of golfers. For four years there have been dis tinct signs that the change was tak ing place, but it was left to the present season to bring about the complete revolution. Much as we admired the wonderful prowess of the famous trio, Braid, Vardon and Tayloifc with Herd as a sort of whipper-in, and much as we regret the gradual breakup of that phe nomenal combination, so far ns its effectiveness is concerned, it is im possible not to recognize that no set of men in any phase of popular sport has ever had such a prolonged and uninterrupted run for their money. For nearly 29 years they have been supreme. It wras at Sandwich In 1S94, that J. H. Taylor commenced the series of brilliant achievements which earhed for them the title of ‘The Invincible Three." A better pseudonym would have been “The Three Musketeers." They are no longer invincible, as has been demonstrated beyond ques tion this year, and never more so than at Woodcote Park the other day, when two of them even failed to qualify for the match-play stages of the professional championship at Walton Heath. Vardon was the first to go down in the maelstrom. For years his putting has been so notori ously bad, at t itles almost farcical, that, we naturally attribute failure to ids mysterious weakness in this par ticular department of the game. On this occasion it was something totally different. His- putting was not such as to transport one into esetasios of delight, nor, on the other hand, wras it frantically immoral; it was just ordinary. Vardon is very much like the everyday golfer who shrugs his shoulders and says, with a touch of bitterness, “Well, if it isn't one darned thing, it is another.'* \ union a Good Judge. During the many years I have seen Vardon play, in all conditions and in all circumstances, he has al ways struck me as the one golfer who never failed to judge instantly the distance from any given spot to the pin, and to gouge accurately the kind of shot required to cover the Intervening space. It comes In stinctively, like that of the expert marksman, who can tell at a glance the range and the elevation of any shot. But. mysterious to relate, Var don failed conspicuously at Woodcoto because over and over again he was utterly wrong In his conception of the approach Shots, whether long or short. He -was only able to account ftir It by the fact that he was aiming at large open greens, where all the obstacles were on the Hanks, and, consequently, there was nothing defi nite in between to give him the clue to the distance to be negotiated. Var don has a predilection to the old Cross hazard, which certainly simplifies the shot up to the green, but It sure ly cannot be pretended for a singlo moment that he was wholly deceived by the conditions at Woodcote. Var don has played on too many courses where the cross hazard has vanished to make his explanation of failure ring true. The reason must be sought elsewhere, and It is to be found, I think, in the fact that in his hands each club has become less powerful, and that unwittingly he deceives him self when within striking distance of the objective. Of course, when a man misses six inch nnd elghleen-lnch putts as Braid did there can be no hope for him; he Is beyond all human aid. It seems a thousand pities that a golfer, who Is still able to hit the ball vast d.stances T -— ■ - - * — ~ --- —. . • - - — THE BEACH COMBER. Here on the beach, to know Only the dead sours dream; One with the ebb and flow Over a soundless stream; Lost to the life beyond. One with the wreck and spar.

Four -of the best elevens In the east meet when Yale faces the Army nhd Syracuse tackles Penn State. Harvard and Princeton should not he so hard pressed, with their own meeting only the week beyond. Injuries and Training Care. Down at Centre college Charley Moran Is trainer as well as coach. And Moran, with hard schedules and no great flock of substitutes, has known less Injuries In the last three years than any other football trainer In the land. Moran hns worked for year* over ankle nnd knee nnd shoulder protec tion and the result has been that ho has had hardly an ankle, knee or shoulder Injury since Centre bound ed Into the spotlight four years ago. Many of these Injuries can he pro vented with proper taping nnd band aging, although there are many ath letes cursed with a weak ankle or Wneo that raises the dickens. The Most Brittle. Probably the most brittle of all our athletic entries Is the boxer or the fighter. Hero Is the last word In human fragility. If one Is to Judge the mini her of f'ghfs postponed for one all went or another. Even In the championship list Walker, McTigue Tunnt-y and Lynch have cither drawn brittle hands or bad shoulders or something else In tho way of physical upsets, due to Injuries. The boxer seems to bo quite brittle. In this respect Jack Dempsey la an outstanding exception. The heavy weight champion has a great pair of hands and Is always In top condi tion for each contest. Leonard has drawn some trouble In this respect, but not a great deal. Offside Plays. The tough break is that one fum ble can more than offset nix fine plays. Without speed at the start there may be no chance for swiftness lifter cn. Paddock can break no records after he has been thrown. Many an unknown forward has made a halfback's fame. Football Fame. There Is one advantage to football fame. It Is often quickly made, some times In a game or two, and generally long remembered. Even brilliant later-day stars have had a hard time dlspl icing the mem ory of Heffelfinger, t'oy, Thorpe, Hes ton, Eckersall, Hardwick, Brlckley, Mahan, Poe, Sam White, Wharton, Woodruff, Hare and others whose names ride on down tho ages. Tho one flnw Is tlmt a costly mis take ran also be remembered longer than It should. The wonder Is that costly mistakes are so few. Tho spotlight thrown upon the big games Is terrific In Its Intensity and tho period of preparation Is usually brief, with only an hour a day for practice over a few weeks. The football player has no such training time In which to bo fixed and ready as the ballplayer, golfer or tennis player. And the strain upon him Is usually greater, since few have the experience of more than 15 or 20 games In their entire careers. Tho average spectator might fig ure that out when he Is rendering his Judgment nml awarding tho crown >of thorns to some youngster around 19 or 20 in the act of losing a game. After all, It Is only a game And some one has to help win It and help lose It. ] with both wood nnd Iron should bow I the knee when it comes to a tiny 1 putt. John Low laid it down recently that the Americans excel because "on the putting green they do not have the strange diversities of opin ion which seem to take possession of many of our players whenever they near the hole. They (the Americans) stand up nnd hit the ball in a nat ural manner, instead of assuming curious postures which seem ^to indi cate that the hitting of a ball in a straight line becomes much more dif ficult when it has only to be hit a few feet instead of 200 yards. We are brave at the hitting of a long, free shot; w’hy should we bend the knee and grovel before a wretched little stroke which is played from the teeing ground?" How very true of the vast major ity of British professionals. The weird attitudes they strike and the cowardice displayed in hitting the bail when near the hole are sufficient to make one go hot from very shame. Mitchell is another who, when he has the putter in his hand, makes your heart leap into your mouth from downright fright. And I verily be lievc that he is as mortally afraid of his putter as the man who handles a live bomb for the first time. Who ever saw Hagen, or, for that matter, any first class American professional, exhibit signs of nervousness when the holing out comes to be done? The putts may not go in, but Hagen, in stead of becoming pusillanimous, grows more courageous. It is the right mental attitude. Mitchell has been suffering so long from a species of putting introspec tion that one has almost begun to despair of his ever regaining that ex quisite touch and that buoyant con fidence which, three years ago, were his to a very marked degree. What is the earthly use of crashing the ball 300 yards sflown the course if you take four more shots from SO yaWs? This is Mitchell. It is very signifi cant that with the jiassing of the old brigade, Duncan and Mitchell should not have been able to make more of their opportunities. They seem un able to grasp the crown that others have reluctantly shed. Neither has accomplished a single thing of note this year, and at Woodcote both had the narrowi st shaves of their lives; they each qualified with Just one shot to spare. It was a desperate business. All the honors have again gone to the younger school of golfers, who since Havers gave them one at Troon in June, have received fresh inspira tion and encouragement. A. F. Ball of Langley park. Beckenham, the new Kent champion, has followed up his recent triumphs by sweeping the board at Woodcote. Ball, like his brother, the late Tom Ball, is a beau tiful putter, who stands up to the tell and hits it In a perfectly natural way. There is no grovelling on the ground to inspect the line; no pick ing up of imaginary obstacles; no walking to and fro to observe things that are not there. B^ll Just hits the ball Ins the simplest possible manner, and this is the keynote to all suc cessful putting. Although the regret will he uni versa 1 that Braid will not be seen on hi»/ own course, the forthcoming championship, with Taylor, Herd, Kay, Duncan, Mitchell, Havers, Hob son as some of the survivors, will be intensely interesting.

Horseshoe Pitchers Want to Take on All Comers—Are Champs Get out the old horse-shoes, boys! Harry R. Watson and Reg Merville are in Omaha. For those who are not followers of the ancient pastime of bernyard golf, tills pair, who are appearing at the Orpheum this week in their famous rube comedy pro duction, "60 Miles From Broadway,” are the champion horse-shoe pitching team of New England. Not satisfied with this, however, they have aspir ations toward a national title, and challenge a team of experts In Oma ha to meet them during the week of their engagement here in a "do or die" match. Harry Watson plays the game with all the gusto of a past m ister, i while his partner, Reg Merville is an expt rt on "ringers." Already they have met teams in various cities in the west and south. Their remarkable ability to heavo ringers won them a place on the Or pheum circuit, and as both proved natural actors, they have developed their minor skit Into what Is now the famous rube comedy production. In their act at the Orpheum they will demonstrate they cast the 'durndest' mule-shoe known to the inner circles of this popular sport. These barn-yard golfers let It be known on their arrival iu Omaha yesterday that they will accept any challenges hurled their way and won't ho opposed to putting down a "wee hit" of change on the side. Matches may be arranged by catl ing the Orpheum business office.

The well known at traction of large purses is not men tioned in this, Just devotion to the search for glory, the reason that every box fighter puts forward as an excuse for his endeavors. Ted Moore, middleweight contender, has departed from his native shores and is now wandering about the t'niled States, ostensibly in search of a bout with Sikl, the battling Sene galese. At that Moore is not so bad, he will fight and can fight. His most severe critics In England confess that he has never refused to meet any man who would offer himself. In regard to the opinion of English critics, “Boxing," a Eondon publica tion, says: “The season proper may now be said to be In full swing at the Nation al Sporting club. It opened well, too, with tho best of promise for the future. So far the fights have been almost sensational and there are dis tinct Indications that our national form is on the up-grade. We have to regret, more or less, that Ted Moore hag been compelled to leave for America owing to the general disinclination of middle and cruiser weights to meet him. Moore had challenges out to all of these, went on tour of the continent, got contracted to meet Biki, only to see the match fall through and the Sen egalese depaft for America—where Ted has followed him. "Moore ought to make good In the States. He Is game, tough, willing, ambitious. He il perhaps a trifle shorter of experience than he ought to hnve been but that misfortune should be speedily remedied in the States. He has long wanted the Brit ish middleweight title and repeatedly challenged both Ted Lewis and Roland Todd to a match without success. So as a bold and certain palicy he has gone in pursuit of the highest honor at his weight. Ted of course wants Harry Greb. If he can but manage to return home with tills he will find himself the pursued instead of the pursuer. He will also, we are satis fied. set an example for all champions to follow. "Moore has never refused to fight anybody yet, and has never been able to understand why some people should go to so much trouble in order to find or make excuses.” This may be true and the Senegal ese "wild man" may not want to meet the Britisher. Sikl is scheduled to fight an exhibition match in Iowa on November 11. After that he may give Moore a chance at him. That remains to be seen.

It doesn't exist. Sportsmen are a clan of Individuals. What suits one would never quite suit another and for precisely the same reason. This much Is certain. Any good grade of standard American make will fulfill the fondest wishes of the most meticulous hunter. If he selects the gun for a major purpose of use and has It fit him properly. Many believe that the 20 gauge Is better than the 12 gauge. There are as many who believe infallibly In the 12. The writer has several of both. The 20 Is the sportier arm for up land work and requires better hold ing. Tho 12 for ducks Is standard and more satisfactory. Wh$ro the owner Is limited to one gull,? th* 13 should he the choice. Ther# Is no economy In a cheap gun, It will shoot loose, the triggers crawl and the locks stick. The better grade aside from gij»ulne long lived service gives the owner that Intangible sense of pride In possession something worth while. Standard grades today sell for about $50. Select a gun weighing about seven and ono quarter pounds, nnd let this he a 12 gauge. Tho 20 Is not a gen eral purpose gun. A 20 should weigh five ami three-quarters to six pounds A 10 should weigh six to six ami one quarter pounds. Tho popularity of tho Hi seems to l>e on tho wane. Length of barrels, 20 lo 28 inches.

Wing shoot ng Is a science that Is mastered only through practice and plenty of It. A cardinal point to re member Is to draw your aim well ahead of the bird, keep the gun Mov ing until tho trigger is pulled. While rabbit shooting is classed as an upland pastime, the better brand of sportsmanship does not use a shot gun, try a .23 caliber rifle snd then a revolver. Anyway, this la a game that will loosen up some squeaky vocabulary.

To repeat, pull tho trigger, don't jerk it. | Billiards to Have Best Season of Years in Opinion of Ai Spink Many Matches Are Planned for' Winter Months—Foreign Champs Are Attracted to 7his Country—JSew Stars May Appear During Tournaments. Ity Al, SPINK. With the outdoor games out of the way, billiards promises to enjoy a boom this year never enjoyed before. Now for the first time In the his tory of the gentleman's game there are regular contests on foot, the balk liners, the three-cuqjiion and pocket billiard players having their hands full with their matches and their regular schedule games. Early in October Champion Willie Hoppe began his real training for the world's tournament. He started his training with Francis Appleby, the crack amateur, as his playing partner. Tadeo Suganuma, the Japanese star. Is now Champion Willie Hoppe's opponent In the practice games the champion has started in New York in iireparatlon for the defense of his world's 18-2 balkline title. The Inter national championship will be held October 29 to November 5 at Hotel Pennsylvania in New York. ■ Hoppe, Conti, Hageplacher and Horemans, four of the starters . in the coming world tournament, are now in practice in New York. Schaefer and Cochran, the two other prospective starters, are prac ticing at Los Angeles. When he left America early In the summer, Roger Conti, the French expert at- 18 2 balkline billiards, who finished third in the last International tournament, was so discouraged with his playing following the tournament that he declared he was going home with the intention of retiring from the game for good and all. Conti, however, must have changed his mind recently, for now he is bark In New York, entered in the world tournament and as enthusiastic as ever as to his ability to give a good account of himself. Besides that he Is looking well and expressed himself as ready for the tournament, which wlil b< gin October 29 in New York. Referring to his practice abroad, he said: "I played one month In an academy in Paris. The academies are open, but there is no betting on the games played in them. "I had a match with Mile. Schrler "f Holland- In a game of 4 990 points, played in 10 sessions I gave her 3.009, ran 349 and made a grand average of 44.44. title made 878 points and a grand average of 8.75, had a high run of 56 and a high single average of IS.74. She played poorly in three ses sions, in which she averaged only 3.92, 3.57 and 2. Yet she came close to a grand average of 10. Generally she will average 10 or better. Un doubtedly the best billiard player of her sex 1 n Europe, her open table and masse work Is fine, admirable, but Fhe does not apply her skill to close play. She Intends to come to New Y'ork. • - - • "In an IS 2 exhibition at l'Acadomie du Billiard Palace, with Ranson, 1 made a run of 611, the highest ever made in France at balkline. Previous ly in academy games, Hoppe had made 1 i2 and Sa-MgTU'l 59S. Playing against Fouquct, five s> ances of 400 points l beat him 2.000 to 1.023. My best run was 256; my grand average 38.46. He ran 115 and made a grand average of 19.6”, "The professionals in Paris are the same as fyr five years. There has been no development of young pro fessionals of strength. "Among the amateurs there are somo good young players. Theo Moons of Belgium is now the ama teur champion of Europe. He won the last tournament. I think Faroux is a stronger player." The big event in Chicago billiard circles this week was the arrival of Young Jake Schaefer from Eos An geles. Jake went from California nearly a year ago to California. He was a sick man then. He returns looking bigger and stronger than ever before in his life On arrival here Jake signed up for the New York world championship 18-2 balkline billiard tournament which opens In the Hotel Pennsyl vania, New York, on October 29. Hoppe. Horemans. Hagenlacher and Conti of the big six who will take part In the big tournament are now In New York. Schaefer will leave Chi cago for the east In about 10 days. Then Welker Cochran will be the only man missing. He Is at Hollywood. Cal., but w-ill be here in a day or two. Preparatory to the big 18-2 balkline billiard tournament Erich Hagen lacher, Germany's representative in that event, has gone in for extensive practice by taking on Jean Bruno in a game of 2,500 points 18-2 balkline, in sessions of 500 points, at the Four teenth Street academy. The cornpe tition will be an exhibition of styles of play that are radically different. Bruno does not affect any system. His game is essentially execution. Hagenlacher is an exponent of mathe matical precision, who strives to as semble and control the spheres. In a recent 400-point game In New York, at 18-2 balkline billiards against Edgar T. Appleby, interna tional amateur champion, William F. Hoppe, professional champion of the world, scored an average of 200. His nine were 20 and 3s0, the latter un fin.shed. That performance Indi cates that he is in top form, certainly litady for the world's tournament to lie held at the Hotel Pennsylvania October 29 to November 6. In addi tion to competing in that event he is likely to figure in matches at 18-1. He is quoted as saying that he will accept Horeman s stock challenge to play any competitor at 1S-1 which will be of general benefit to billiards. It isvnot often that father and son become champions in any brand* of sj^>rt. The most notable instance of this sort, of course, was that of Young Jake {Schaefer, who was the world's 18-2 balkline billiard champion until defeated by Hoppe a year ago. Youi\g Jake's father was champion of the world for years, and those who have known both father and son not long ago claimed the son was even a greater player than his father. This is the only instance that can be called to mind of a father ar.J son both becoming champions and the son excelling the father. . There have often and often, however, been times where the son has tried to be come as great a chanrpion as his father if not a better. _ The Turf Friday's Results.

Says “dugsm*++ aer*: ROCKNE LACKS SUBSTITUTES VII Notre Dame Football Coach Has Is 30 All American Star* on His Feeble Squad. Although football season is too young to pick our All-Ambulance eleven, there Is no doubt that Notre Dame will win plenty of battle cita tions this winter. They took West P .ir.t like Grant took Richmond, except that It only required 60 minutes instead of four years Grant always did get too mucn publicity for that slow Job. Then Notre Dame wheeled into Princton and bounced that team for three large loops. Notre Dame has a back field that could pick up an elephant and rush him backward through a Jungle. Their line could butt gateways the great wall of China. Their ?* .s could pick splinters out of a wreck without touching wood. But their big business is forward passes. They have a pitcher in their baekfield who wings the football for 50 yard*. That means he could throw TyCobb out while Ty was trying to grab sec ond base. A catcher doesn't have to throw 50 yards to any base on the season schedule. Third and first bases are only 30 yards. Second base is about 40 rea sonable yards. Figure In that a football was made for fumbling and not for throwing. Then you have the nucleus of a fine piece of elbow gymnastic*. We forgot this bird's name, but we saw him throw a strike the length of the Princeton field. Notre Dame has three f rward pass ers. They warm up like a battery before the game. Knute Rockne looks them 6ver to s-e which on# has the best inshoot on his forward pass. They don t play football. They pitch four quarters. They throw drops, curves and cut shoots. Two Windups. .
