Trainers Try ‘Confidence Spreaders’ in Effort to Bolster Firpo’s Courage

gDYAL SALUTES, CHEERFUL CHIRPS, TOM WAY It’s Great Stuff They Are Using on Challenger; More Sparring Partners Used, By HENRY FARRELL. United Press Staff Correspondent. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. Sept. B. Figuring that Luis Angel Firpo is as physically fit as he can be made to meet Jack Dempsey and that he is technically as good as he can be developed in a short time, the trainers of the South American are devoting the last days to mental preparation. Everything possible is being done to give Firpo confidence in his ability to win the championship. It is apparent that Firpo is not afraid of Dempsey, but-he has shown signs at times that he doesn't believe in himself as he should. While He’s Working Effort to overcome this handicap is now being directed by his chief trainer Horaico Lavelle, and his other Amp mates. When Firpo resumed ®Wning. Friday a' Spanish linguist Was at the ringside and here are some of the confidence spreaders heard hurled at Firpo from' his corner: “Lean forward, my king, and hold up your left hand." “I salute you my champion. That was three minutes of grand work.” “Pull your chin back and step fast, unconquerable one.” In his house, in the' dressing room and in Firpo is always addressed as “champion," and apparently he likes if because be sure has a strut with him. The South American has been badly in need of new sparring partners because h’e knew all the leads of the "boxers who have been with him and knew what to expect from them. He Learns Fast In his work Friday with John Lester Johnson and Young Bob Fitzsimmons It took him some time to get their style. Johnson hit him with three right hands to the body In the first round, but Johnson didn't do a thing in the second round. Fitzsimmons bothered him with a straight left in the first round in their fracas, but Fitz couldn’t get It over In the second. The South American has some trouble finding his guard. He has it way up one minute and %vay down the nett and he requires constant coaching from his corner to find ou* where it Is. He does not follow through with his right hand punches and he •viously loses a lot of power when steps back after a right band up Pcut. His most effective work Is done off the ropes and it is apparent that he likes to fight with his baek against something.

Dollars First By United Press ATLANTIC CITY, S>pt. B.—lt was suggested to Luis Firpo today he was making a mistake In training In a “fast ring;” that is, a ring without a heavy pad on the floor under the canvas.

Firpo wanted to know how much it would cost to have the floor padded, and when told It be SSO, he said it was too much and that it was too late in the training to spend that much money.

M’AULIFFE THINKS JACK HAS AGED TOO RAPIDLY High-Strung, Nervous, and Not the Untroubled Youth of Toledo Days—Seems to Doubt Condition, By JACK M’AULIFFE, Former World’s Lightweight Champion. NEW YORK, Sept. B.—. Tack Dempsey in almost every respect is not the same Dempsey who fought Willard and Carpentier. The change in him is most apparent to those who have known him well, and it is the cause of concern to many of his friends.

When T>mpssy was training at Toi ledo ho was untroubled, full of fun ; and life. Now he seems to be much I more settled than Increasing years ’should warrant. We all know that I youth declines with each year, but ! Dempsey has grown old too soon. To Doubt Is Dangerous His actions give me the impression ; he has some doubts that he Is as gffid jas he used to be. Once a fighter gets | bothered about these doubts ho is : through. It Is not cowardice, but It !Is lack of confidence that Is even j more dangerous than a timid heart. Since returning from Saratoga I I have read that Dempsey weighs 193 ; pounds and that he will enter the ring lat 188 pounds. I do not believe that, i I really think he does not weigh much | more than 180 pounds now and he will j spot Firpo at least twenty pounds un ; less I have lost all my judgment of weight. Visitors Make Him Nervous Dempsey always has been highstrung and nervous, but he Is even more so now. It Is a good thing the race meeting at Saratoga closed In I time to give him two weeks to hlm--1 self. He is naturally affable and he likes to nice to visitors who,come to sen | him, but I noticed that tt was getting I his nerves to be forced to shade

TRIBESMEN CLOSE COLUMBUS VISIT WITH TWIN BILL Indians Move to Toledo Sunday to Engage Tail-End Hens in Series, By Times .Special COLUMBUS, Sept. 8. —This was the last day for the Indians here this season and they were not sorry. A double-header this afternoon closed the Tribe’s stay. Sunday the Hoosiers will be In Toledo to start a farewell series with the Hens, who are In last place. The Tribesmen hope the Hens remain where they are, otherwise the Hoosiers might fall into the hole. The first three games here w'ere unusual. When the Tribe hurlers pitched fairly good ball, the team failed to hit. Then when the team hit, the pitchers failed to deliver. That combination gave the Senators three straight. Hill Out Early The score Friday "was 14 to 7 In favor of Columbus. Carmen Hill was knocked out in the first inning. Five Senators scored. Bono tried his stuff’ hut he went the same way as Hill. Fitzsimmons finished and the Senators kept hitting. Columbus gathered twenty-one hits Friday and the Tribe thirteen Grimes starred with five safeties, three being doubles. He had a perfect day. Man aper Molesworth says his boys surprise him They are playing like big leaguers, now that, the season is nearing the end. Probably thinking of next year's contracts. Doug Ha* Large Day Doug Baird, former Indian, got two doubles, a triple and a single Friday and starred in the field. Brown and Janvrln slugged hard for the Tribesmen. One of Brown's drives was a Babe Ruth home run. Sanders pitched the full route for the .Senators mainly because his mates gave him plenty of runs.

Is It Love? By United Hews SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y„ Sept. B.—Jack Dempsey has begun to speak of marriage in a bantering but persistent way which was taken as dismal augury Friday by One-Eyed Connolly, the Jail inspector, gatecrasher and railroad expert. The large rough party held forth alarmingly In an informal and ostensibly academic discussion of this institution and declared that If he ever took the yoke, he would insist upon wearing the trousers. This was taken by One-Eyed Connolly as an infallible sign Dempsey soon is to murmur his rights away to the tune of the late Mister Mendelssohn’s dolorous n^arch.

OMAHA TRAINER HAS HUGE TIME AT FAIR RACES Childs’ Stable Cops Three Firsts and Two Seconds — Sanardo Lame, Marvin Childs of Omaha didn’t consider mud a handicap in the harness racing at the State Fair track Friday, He should cuss the weather man—not. Out of the six races the Western trainer’s horses got three firsts and two seconds. It was Childs’ day and ie made the most of it. In the 2:08 pace he piloted Hal Bee home ahead of the field and Ribbon Cane, another member of hi* stable, was second. The Omaha rein®man grabbed off the 2:05 pace with Julia M. Direct. Frederick K. was good for second place in the 2:08 trot, which was finished Friday after two postponements. Sanardo Lame Sanardo couldn't help it because he was lame, but the fans were disappo.nted because they could not see Pop Geers’ great little pacer perform. Hal Mahone, 2:01, another one from the Childs’ stable, proved an able substitute and with Geers up won from Johnny Quirk in straight heats. The time of 2:08 was creditable considering the condition of the track. Zaquilla. owned by Mayor Shank, had a fairly easy time winning the 2:15 trot. Axle Jay looked like a serious contender in the third heat, but Zaqulla. pulLd away In the stretch. Big Field in 2:10 Pace A big field of ten battled it out in the 2:10 pace for the SI,OOO purse and Walter M got the most of it. He finished first in two heats and second In the final.
