PLENTY ANXIOUS TO MEET DEMPSEY NOW By JACK VARBERRY (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) LONG BRANCH, N. J., July 6. No longer need Jack Kearns and Company bewail the business depression which for two years has put Jack Dempsey on the inactive list. Suddenly the woods have become filled with worthy challengers. Every "knight of the tin ear" tipping a beam at 175 pounds or more, is loudly clamoring for a battle date with the champion. "Why shouldn't they—the next good man who mees Dempsey will be champion of the world," Luis Angel Firpo, senior from Argentine, explained today. Firpo sincerely believes he is the next king of the heavies. He is in training here for his July 12 meeting with Jess Willard, former champion. The fight will be staged at Tex Rickard's Jersey City arena. It will be a no decision affair. Firpo has affixed his name to a contract to battle Dempsey under Rickard's promotion in the event he defeats Willard. The Argentine mauler says Dempsey has also signed. "I'll knock Willard for a row of Toledos," Firpo predicted. The senior insists Harry Wills, the brown panther, will not be given a match with the champion until after either he or Willard have exercised their preferred claim. Firpo will enter the ring against Willard top weight—215 pounds. He looks heavier. Willard will be down to 228—the lowest he has ever made. "I don't need much of a left for Willard." Firpo insists. "I can take them—all he's got. I'm going in for an early knockout." Willard has expressed the same opinion of his ability against the senor. The fight is expected to draw a $500,000 house. Tickets totalling $300,000 have already been sold. YESTERDAY'S HOMERS National League No. Total.

GOOD SHOOTING IN THREE-MAN LEAGUE The Three-Man Bowling League, which just completed a seven weeks' schedule on the Anaheim allays, furnished some very interesting contests and wound up in a close finish. The individuals showed more class than in the previous City League, only five out of 28 men shooting under 160 average. Will Varner, by steady, consistent rolling, topped the list with an average of 185 for the full 35 games, being three points ahead of Heffron, his nearest competitor. Altho the Greens won first place, they were seventh in total pinnage. The Whites, with the greatest total pinnage, had to be content with a tie for fifth place. The Browns, as their total pins show, belonged in the cellar, where they finished. Team Standing W. L. Pet. Pins.

Nearly all claim Dempsey was not the Dempsey of old. Jack sent his famous "Iron Mike" to the Gibbons jaw times enough to pulverize that jaw if "Iron Mike" had contained the same amount of kick it did in Toledo. Jack may have had an off day and he may be slipping and again it might have been the psychological effect of the hostile crowd. There had been so many rumors of what the Montanians would do if Jack did not fight and even if he did, that Jack unconsciously might have been effected. Most all athletes are subject to the atmosphere they are laboring in. Some ball players are stars when on the home grounds and the home people are cooling" for them, but filiver when playing where the majority of the fans are pulling for the other teams. It is not because they do not try; there is some unexplainable reason that takes the power and speed from their work. Jack Dempsey has been a public idol for years now. When he stepped out before a crowd he felt the atmosphere of wonder and admiration of his ability. When he faced the Shelby gathering he surely could not help but feel that his opponent had the sympathy and admiration of the people.

TEMPLE WINNER OF FIRST TITLE GAME Playing before several hundred fans last night in the first game for the city championship, the White Temple won over Schneider's Market on the Anaheim Y.M.C.A. field 15 to 13. Schneider's started off with a rush, scoring eight off Marvin in the first two innings and it looked like a walkaway but in the third inning Captain Baum of the Methodists sent Ashleigh into the box and the Schneider sluggers managed to get only four hits in the remaining five innings. However, three of these in the fourth inning coupled with two errors counted for four runs. The Methodists hit very consistently, managing to slip across from one to four runs each inning and overcoming the big lead. Several very pretty plays were pulled off, one of the most spectacular being made by LaPlant, Schneider's shortstop, when on a line drive from Ashleigh's bat he jumped high in the air, hit the ball with his hand knocking it straight up in the air giving him time to get under it for a catch. Five errors were made by the Methodists while only three were counted against Schneiders. Jackson for Schneiders struck out two batters and Marvin and Ashleigh for the White Temple each had three strikeouts. Jackson walked four batters. Marvin three and Ashleigh one. The errors by the Methodists counted heavily against the mas the Schneiders scored 13 runs while getting only eight hits. The Methodists counted 15 runs and 15 hits. The second game of the series will be played this evening on the Anaheim "Y" field at 7:30 and another real battle is looked for as the team first winning two games will be declared champion and will receive the loving cup put up by the Y.M.C.A.

Riley, star witness for the state in the trial of three men who are charged with conspiracy to bribe the jury which acquitted Governor Len Small, took the stand today and reluctantly repeated the confession of his part in the bribery. Riley, a saloon keeper of Antioch, said that he had received $1000 to divide with John B. Fields, one of the Small jurors, and a defendant in the present case with Ed Courtney and Ed Kauffman. He gave Fields only $350, he said, and spent the rest. Kauffman, he testified, got him into the affair by asking him to introduce Kauffman to Field. Later he said, he accompanied Kauffman and another man, who the state charges, was Courtney, to see Joe Kahn, a Small venireman and told Kahn that if he succeeded in getting on the jury he would be well taken care of.
