Besides these, there were many visitors from the various churches, in attendance; ( there having been as many as 3,000 visitors at some of the sessions. This conference was held in Berne in 1902.

J., Sept. 11.— There is no doubt about it —Dempsey is on his way. Sporting writers might just as well get out the champion's obituaries, because next Friday night there is going to be a new heavyweight king. The big boy down here looks good; he is awkward and not too fast, but from what I saw at Saratoga, while watching Dempsey do his stuff, I should say this South American is a certain winner. The sympathies of the American public must be with Dempsey. Naturally we hate to see a foreigner beat one of our own. So let’s till back him as he goes out. For I repeat, he's on his way. — • D3MPSEY LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH j TO RETAIN TITLE IN FIGHT (I’nltetl I’r>-ss Service) | White Sulphur Springs, N. Y.. Sep. 1 II (Special to Daily Democrat) - Reaching tlie end of h's real training for the defense of his heavyweight I title against Luis Angel Firpo in. New I York Friday', Jack Dempsey looks to I be in condition good enough to retain his. title. Experienced experts like Jflek McAuliffe, the retired lightweight'chain ! pion, might detect in Dempsey's looks and actions symptoms of unfavorable condition, but to less skillful eyes tho champion seems to be ready in every respect. He docs look slender in the hips :md legs but he lias worked to develop maximum speed ami Ills boxing is almost perfect. Ho still misses many of h's punches, hut he always does in his training ami it is apparent that ho misses many times beaus® he is trying to spare his sparring partners. His wind is good. |
