Firpo Continues Strange Training; Experts Puzzled When They Visit Camp
NO BALLYHOO, NO CHEER | AT LUIS’ QUIET PLACE Lack of Sartorial Splendor Makes Board-Walkers Gasp at Atlantic City—Working Hard, That's All. By HENRY FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 29.—With the same air of mystery and atmosphere of the unusual that has surrounded his meteoric rise from a dark collar in Newark to the Garden of Fistiania. Luis Firpo is preparing himself for his fight with Jack Dempsey.
As he tore up the book of regulations in battering his way through the trial horses that were put to him for a test, the South American giant is discarding all the orthodox conventions and ways of getting ready ff>r a world’s championship light. Firpo is doing things his own way; and his way has nothing iike it in the lengthy annals of box fighting. Pointers by table Daily from his friend and backer, .Felix Bunge, Firpo gets a cable from far away South America, telling him what to do. Those who like to poke fun at Luis, and they are in the majority here, say that his diet is even prescribed by cable. From the house in which he has established his living quarters and which is labeled “the House of the Angejs,” Firpo can see the one-time airplane hangar where Jack Dempsey trained for his fight with Georges Jtarpentier. does not ride in the morning the mayor. He does not show himsolf in the sartorial splendor of the champion and on the contrary he is so careless of his personal appearance that the board walkers have al most protested at his scarcity of fashion. Strangers Uninformed When Dempsey was training here, a stranger was made aware of it be fore he alighted from a train, but newcomers now can be in the city for hours' without having it pressed upon them as news that Senor Firpo is a guest of the city. There are no pictures of the South American in the shop windows and the hawkers have no Firpo buttons and pennants for sale “I am fine. I am working hard and I think I will win,” Firpo said through an interpreter. He trails mitted the inforrrfation that he knew he was being picked generally as the loser by the experts, but he took some pleasure in recalling that Tommy Gibbons was also labelled as a victim by the expert juries.

STATE CM IS CLICK’S REWARD FOR DALTON WIN Sidney Finally Jabs Jimmy for Victory at Ft, Harrison Show, That much improved battler, Sidney Glick. finally did what everyone thought he would do before long. He defeated Jimmy Dalton, a tough nut for any scrapper to crack. Glick stepped out Tuesday night at the Ft. Harrison show and was awarded the decision by the referee. He earned it. Sid Usese Fast Left Dalton, using his customary rush-ing-in tactics, was out-boxed by Sidney throughout. Dalton could not keep away from a left that jabbed him repeatedly.

ACKERMAN There is no rod in the world that has quite the poise and artistic beauty of the fly rod —no fish of quite the grace and magnificence of the trout. There are many varieties of trout —all lovely to look at. All are splendid fighters. Well may the wielder of the tapered bamboo splints thank the Great Spirit that most of them feed on the surface, and in consequence, rise to a fly. The one notable non-riser is the salmon trout, lake trout or gray trout, that inhabits the cooling depths of our northern rock-bottomed lakes. The trout family Is well scattered over

North America. In Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Labrador and Newfoundland there is one speckled trout that stays at home. What They Are Termed In the two provinces this fish is known as the "native” trout —in Lab rador and Newfoundland as the "mud’’ trout. (Why a fontenalls -hould be termed a mud trout is more than I fathom.) The sea trout of the maratirne provinces is not the sea trout of southern waters. This fish is speckled looks and tastes like the non-migrators of the clan. The eastern Canada "Sea trout," entering the streams In June In large quantities, is a worthy fighter. It conies in lightning darts of five pounds or more. From the middle of August to the closing of the season, the middle of September, in Newfoundland, you can hit sea trout streams where a single fly can load a boat in a day's casting, if the angler can last that Jong. Conditions in Ontario In Ontario the big speckled trout leave the streams about the first week In June and enter the lakes, the small mouth bass taking up the vacated positions in the rapids and fast water. On the other hand, the world famous Nipigon offe-s its mightiest trout to the July an. !er. On a trip in Algonquin Park, Ontario, I was fly casting below a dam fT trout. Having poor luck, I put on a spinner in the hope of catching bass. A huge speckled trout took the spinner on the first cast and as far as I know is going yet. NEXT—The game fish of the people.

Eddie Sicking had a bad day at short and his wild throws were costly in both games. Oh, Yes. Tribe Hit Ball The Indians collected plenty of higgles In both contests, but the hits didn't arrive at enough important points, It was the second twin hill the Saints grabbed from the Indians during the present series, which is sufficient proof the locals are much too strong for the Trll>esmen.
