McAuliffe Explodes Fistic Bomb; Fears Dempsey Has Lost K. O. Punch
OLD RING STAR ASSERTS CHAMP LACKS STRENGTH
Fails to Stop Awkward Sparring Partner in Exhibition — Efforts to Become Art istic Boxer Criticised, By JACK McAULIFFE, Former World’s Lag htweight Champion. NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—As sure as the sun ever rose, for the first time in the history of fistiania we will have a non-English speaking champion of the world on the night of Sept. 14 if Jack Dempsey does not change his training methods. His system employed at Saratoga Springs does not look good to me.
When Dempsey jpet Jess Willard he could out-sock any man in the world. I did not see him in the Brennan fight and in his fight with Tom Gibbons, tout I was at a loss to understand how Gibbons stayed with him. As he eocked in Toledo no man i nthe world could stay up in front of him for six rounds. Old .Strength Missing After watching him train for three weeks in Saratoga I believe he has lost his punch because he has lost his strength, wind and endurance. Two weeks ago in Schenectady I was the third man in the ring when Dempsey boxed an exhibition with Jules Rioux, his big sparring partner. He tried with all his might to knock out Rioux with a right cross, but he could not. I lengthened the last round at his request and he could not stop him. Trying to Be Clever Dempsey has sidetracked his caveman stuff and he is trying to be an artist. Dempsey is not a boxer. His forte is speed and sock. He has tried to make himself clever and he has lost much of that speed and hitting power. Dempsey must get back to his Toledo form. He has been wasting three weeks at Saratoga and doing himself more harm than good. I doubt very much that he can get himself in the proper shape in another week and I really believe he is going to lose the fight unless he quits burning himself out and conserves his strength.

First Baptist and Morris St. M. E. will meet at Pennsy Paik for the Class A title. There should be a real mound duel if those two fine left-handers, Wagner of Fairbanks-Morse and Redmond of the Brooksides, hook up. The veteran Redmond seems at top form at present. If Wagner is feeling fit he will give the 1922 champs a battle. Waiter Jarvis, president of the local association, -will leave Saturday for St. Louis to complete arrangements for the series between the local champions and the Mound City champs.

BANTAMS BOX DRAW IN FISTIC SCRAP AT FORT Sparks and Dugan Mix in Main Event; Other Bouts. Rain let up long enough Wednesday night for Kid Sparks, Terre Haute bantam, and Jackie Dugan of Louisville to go ten rounds to a draw at the Ft. Harrirson weekly fight show. The bantams saved most of the action for the final round and were mixing It fast and furious as the final bell rang. Up to the tenth Dugan had the betetr of the argument. “Rapid” Waters, Ft. Thomas (Ky.) lightweight, went on with Danny Cohen, a welterweight, who substituted on short notice for Piggy Young. The fighters agreed that if both were on their feet at the end of the eighth the bout would be called a draw. That's what happened. Waters had the better of It. Reamer Roberts, local bantam, got a technical knockout over Johnny Sawyer ln a prelim when Sawyer failed to answer the bejl ln the third. ’"Cholly” Young knocked out Hub New r kirk in the third round. "Matinee" Keith got the decision over "De Valera” O'Brien in a four-round affair.

GOOD THING LUIS KNOWS VALUE OF' YANKJBLICITY He’s Been Termed Bullj Dray Horse and Gorilla, but Holds Temper, By HENRY FARRELL. United Press Staff Correspondent. ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Sept. 6. Just a little more than a week before he is to enter the ring with Jack Dempsey to decide the heavyweight championship of the world, Luis Firpo looks ready and seems willing to go. The usual manifestations of nerves which get most fighters as they approach the day of the big fight are not apparent In the big Argentine. Firpo still insists, when pressed for an opinion about his chances, that he is sure he Is going to win, and h® bears out that attitude of supreme confidence in every act. He Is taking his work most seriously and is having fun along with the tedium of training in reading the things being written about him. Firpo has been called the ‘'wild bull of the Pampas” for a long time. Lately he has been termed a, gorilla. Others have found in him the modern versions of the mastadon and todaya two turfmen found In him the of a dray horse. Firpo does not mind what they call him as long as reflection Is not made on his blood. He follows all the papers. The business side of the South American asserts Itself when he is Inclined to get peeved, and he figures that as long as he Is in print he is getting some place. COVINGTON.
