Dempsey"s impressive showing yester-
day against Jack McAuliffe in the
Michigan heavyweight’s initial work-

rapidly rounding int form. MeAuliffe
started to give Dempsey two rounds
of boxing, but he was forced to quit
after three minutes, going back to the
tubbing room with his right eye shut
and his left ear bleeding from a flight
cut. In the one round Dempsey had
McAuliffe dangerously near the verge
of a knorkout.
"Dempsey is a harder puncher than
Firpo and I will be the most surprised
man in the world if the South Ameri-
can is able to come out for the second
round," McAuliffe said.

Of modern ringmen Firpo knows
all that should be known. He can

years and years and tell of their best
punches, their greatest triumphs and
their defeats. Naturally he has been
a close student of Jack Dempsey,
whom he hopes to dethrone when they
meet in New York Kept. 14
The Argentinan has never seen
Dempsey in action save in mo’h n pic-
tures, but he knows all his beat
punches and can recite the champion s
record witnout racking his brain.
He knows the names of men who
have been able to hit Dempsey and
the blows they used. In short, lie
knows exactly what is ahead of him
and is preparing to meet it.

and
Rosa Johnson earned the right
Thursday to pitch at least one of the
play-off games against the Rangers
when he held the Waco Redskins to
one single. Johnson is supposed to be
an outfielder, rather than a pitcher.
Ross is rather small to work on the
mound, but judging from several ex-
cellent performances he has turned in.
Johnson would do better on the mound
as a regular than e does in the out-
field. The former Ranger is a fine
fielder, but his hitting is not heavy
enough for a first class outer gardener.

Firpo, challenger for Jack Dempsey’s
world heavyweight title, bad three
opponents, all of whom he defeated
by knockouts. He received less than
$1500 for all these engagements.
Firpo’s first opponent was Sailor
Maxted. The sailor mussed up Firpo
in the first three rounds, but ran into
a sledge hammer right in the fourth
that took the'wind out of his Batin
He was knocke out in the seventh
round.
Joe MeCann, a New Jersey young-
ster. was the South Americans sec-
ond victim. Joe was finished in six
rounds, but he holds the distinction
of being one of the few to land ef-
fectively on the Argentinan McCann

right to the chin in the fifth round,
but was so badly bettered immediately
after that he proved an easy victim
in the sixth.

any other man Who opposed the South
Armrican 81 ant. Herman managed to
evade Firpo's wallops for four rounds,
but forgot to duck in the fifth. A

left found the point of his chin. He
was raised a foot off the floor and
landed fiat on his back. Thirty min-

The Kinsey brothers were looked
upon three weeks ago as probable se-
lections on the defending Davis cup
team. Last year this pair was ranked
second among the combination players
of the country, and they had been
traveling at such a fast pace this
spring that the selection committee
was inclined to consider the Califor-
nians very seriously. Then came the
national doubles champtonship tour-
ney, and the Kinsey boys went out in
the very first round, beaten by Wal-
lace Johnson and Manuel Alonzo. This
big upset caused the Kinseys to be
dropped from further consideration,
although it is a safe bet that they
ould win over their victors three out
of four times.
