Firpo Adopts Style of Dempsey .
in Training for Bout With Wills
By FRED KEATS.
HITE SULPHI R
X SPRINGS. N. V..
Aug. 17.—Eui* Eirpn,
fistic financier, ron
tiiiur* to grind nut
- dollars here Sunday
” afternoons. Only day
in the week that Firpo displays a
trace of a smile on his countenance.
It Is the only day the customers come
out in paying numbers.
During the rest of the week the
racing bugs have no time to visit the
Wild Bull's" pasture. A few womtyi
and children and a stray cat are
the only ones now at the track
trying to root home winners
during hours that Wild Bull
capers. Mike McTigue, a few steps
down the road, hold* open house and
helps take the play away from I.uis.
Something for nothing Is rare novelty
here, so Mike is a opular hoy.
The “Wild Bull's" girth la being
reduced slowly, but surely. Books
lese like flippo the hippo than he did
when he first arrived here. Still a
long way from being ppor In fleeh,
though Beginning to seed up now
Had useful workout yesterday
Slainmed his mates around with greet
deal of enthusiasm end rlurnsv
strength.
Buis not so dutnh as some people
think Refuses to listen to advice,
hut keeps both eye* open at all times
nod profits by what he sees. Says
If he paid attention to all they tell
him he would be dizzy In no time.
"Believe nothing you hear and only
half what you see." |f fllppo e canny
axiom. No one can tell him a thing,
but It Is^posslble to show him. He's
so suspicious that an American train
er would be of no use at all. Would
feel sure he was being double crossed
In some way. Learns only through
observation. Can pick up more use
ful hints by watching two second
ratera fight than by listening to a
dozen professors lecture on mysteries
of fistic science.
Luis picked up a great deal besides
himself in his battle with Jack Demp
sey. Champion's lefts and rights
were hints that sank in deep Demp
sey's crouch and swaying of the head
were tactics that Impressed ]„uis. De
ls trying to do things Jacks way
now.
Lula can crouch and sway and then
shift and let fly left or right for the
body In a way that la most confusing
Hard to tell which side these body
benders are coming from. Knsy to
see that Hula Is going to play for the
body when he faces Harry Wills
Never shoots for the jaw at all, but
tries all kinds of suhway pokes.
Fistic experts her* are Inclined to
fnvnr chance* of "Wild Pull." Think
" 111" Is a poor exruso for a toreador,
evidently have formed this idea as
result of Harry’s misette In affair
with Hartley Madden Maybe bad
ww to figure Madden Is a tougli
man to handle He has made others

Charging Firpo
With Perjury
By Cnlurdal Mmlc#,
New York, Aug. IS.—A federal
warrant charging Duis Firpo with
perjury wan Issued by t'niled
State* Commissioner Samuel Hitch
cock here late today.
The warrant it the result of the
Argentine fighter saying that
Blanca Fourties, who came to New
York with him, was his stenogra
pher.
The paper will be server) on
Firpo at Saratoga Springs tomor
row.
The warrant w as secur* d through
the efforts of (anon Chase, who
started a fight on Firpo as soon
as he entered the country.
The girl was deported to Ha
vana as soon as it was proved site
was not the fighter's stenographer,
but n ship rompnnlnn.
v--/
Harry l,ee and Kill Hailey, both ,,f
Omaha, are the only pitchers in the
league to reach the 100 mark in
strikeouts for the season. I.ee has
113 marked up for his rredit and
Bailey has set back the batters of
t{ie circuit 135 times.
Denver was the only club in the
league to climb in batting last week
and the rest of the teams fell a few
points. Denver was also the only
club to Increase Its fielding average
and broke a tie with Tulsa which had
existed for two weeks.
Frank Osborn, St. Joseph product,
who Is the property of fhe Seattle
club of the Pacific Coast league, and
who Is playing w-lth Omaha at pres-1
ent, is not hitting as good as he
was when he first came Into the
Western circuit, but is still among
the leaders with a mark of .345. Only
one St. Joseph player is doing better
than that. Miller is socking the ball
at a .370 clip for fifth place in
league hitting.
Ted Menie, former property of the
Kansas City Blues, who played with
St. Joseph early In the season when
the Saints needed temporary aid In!
the outer gardens, and who was sold
to Oklahoma City, Is walloping the
Spalding agate for a .33! clip.
Sweeney, the outfielder who was
with Oklahoma City for some time
this year, and who was apparently
dissatisfied with the company he was
keeping, is getting two and three
hits in every came he is playing with
the Kansas City Blues. He was sold
to the Blues when It was determined
he would play no gr,od ball In the
Western league- Sweeney has been
lead-off man for the Blues until two1
days sgo when he w-as shifted to
second in the lineup.
\ wholesale shift of players by the
Des Moines Western league club
to k place last »»; ctr-c plays' was
sent up. one was placed In the Wes
ern circuit sod two w ep« sent to
slower company Pitchers O H Fd
mondson and Jim House. First Base
man .In* Cartwright and Outfielder
Klrke have been sent to other teams.
Catcher Beall has been signed by the
Boosters and Catcher Dotigsn will be
released or sold to slower company.
In return for House and Kirk
the Burlington club has given the
Boosters first option on all of Its
players. This means that the Des
Moines msnagement may pick one
player front the Burlington roster at
any time. This Includes House and
Kirk There «»«nu to be jiome doubt
regarding Doutmr s standing Des
Moines obt i ned him from the St
raid club, but b» claims he is a
free scent f.tr he w-v* net ps;d for
his services In full from the Slouv
City club of the defunct Tristate
league team lie v a s farmed to the
Sioux Citr club bv St. Paul Beall Is
a voting catcher who has been out
under option from Wichita for tw,.
years' seasoning
Cartwright's departure from the
ranks of the B.tcsters means that i
Stuvengen a voting player from the
Trisfate league, will hold sway at first
Istse for the Boosters for the rest of
the season. Cartw right got a tryViut >
with the club and then Stuvengen I
was secured. He was given his first
trvout while the team was in St

ficial Western league ball carries the
Spalding trade mark.
*1 he protest over the ball came up
when Catcher Whaling, who was
bat, asked "ump” Powell to examine
the ball. Powell, being an obliging
sort of gentleman, agreed and called
for the horsehide, The "ump” was
*
g.. ing the ball the once over when
Whaling called attention of all pres
ent that the ball was an American
league ball and not the (Western
league’s official ball.
The game, which was scheduled to
get under way at 3:30 o'clock, did not
start until nearly 4:30, due to the
late arrival of the Bears from then
own haunts in Colorado. When the
last Grizzly batted in the ninth, dark
ness was fast covering the field.
