FIRPO CONTINUES TO THINK HIMSELF ATLANTIC CITY, N. .. Sept. 1.—Luis Angel Firpo knows what is best for Luis Angel Firpo. "I know what I am doing," Firpo said. "If I follow all the advice given me by American trainers, I would go mad." "Red meat didn't do me any harm in the past and it will not do me any harm in the coming fight. I don't like fruit and vegetables that I am told to eat and therefore I don't" SARGUM PROUTINGS Boxing was going great in Chicago until some tin horns got a hold on the promoting end of the game. A short time ago when Leonard Mitchell fought there, there was a free for all between the Milwaukee faction and the Chicago. Mitchell is a Milwaukee boy and his townspeople claimed that he was robbed as the decision went against him. Any way the fracas put boxing on the brink of oblivion. Along came two tin horns, booked a large scrap in Clem Johnson, the negro that recently took Sam Langfords Mexican title and George Godfrey. The Chicago bugs turned out in large numbers and a big house greet the would-be fighters but just before the big tussle was to have gone on the promoter and all the receipts disappeared, and the game has gone on the blink complete in the windy city. It may be hauled out if the right set of promoters take a hold but the fans must be assured that the new management is strictly on the square. Some say that Firpo is ready for Dempsey but the most of the critics think that he needs another year of experience. Judging from his past performances Luis Angel is about as ready now as he ever will be. Firpb is a real honest to goodness fighter. He never will be a boxer. He has attained his growth and full strength. A fighter of his type is at his best when he has developed his strength to top hotch. Firpb will never learn to use the tricks of boxing when in the heat of fighting. He just overpowers, not out-tricks. Firpb is a terrible adversary, ever advancing with that crushing determination. All such forces can be stopped but is Demsey man enough. GREB SAID BE FIGURED NEW YORK newly crowned weight of the that he would pion."

The Argentine was at work again at six o'clock this morning for his daily road work on the board walk. He expected to go thru the usual training routine in the afternoon. KANSAS CITY GIRL WINS OPEN TITLE EXMOOR COUNTRY CLUB, Chicago, Sept. 1.—Miss Mariam Buris of Kansas City, student at Northwestern University, today captured the women's open golf title when she defeated Miss Louise Fordyce of Youngstown, Ohio, five up and tour to play.

Judging from his past performances Luis Angel is about as ready now as he ever will be. Firpo is a real honest to goodness fighter. He never will be a boxer. He has attained his growth and full strength. A fighter of his type is at his best when he has developed his strength to top notch. Firpo will never learn to use the tricks of boxing when in the heat of fighting. He just overpowers, not out-tricks. Firpo is a terrible adversary, ever advancing with that crushing determination. All such forces can be stopped but is Dempsey man enough to stop this one? If Firpo loses to Dempsey in the coming hour he may some day defeat Jack but it will not be because he has developed into a better boxer, but he may develop to be a little more of a crusher. He may teach his left hand to take some of the burden of the right. Vernon is fighting tooth and nail with Oakland to keep out of the collar. Oakland has braced her playing since Guisto and Massey have joined the team. Vernon is getting peep and good playing from the two kids, Warner and Slade. Each gathered three hits Wednesday which helps in the offensive. The Seals are always able to brace when necessary. They have been troubled by injuries for the last month but the reserve strength has been able to keep the team in the lead. They miss Miller at the helm but Ellison is doing fairly well and there is not much danger of the Seals being knocked off the high perch. The American Reds are to be entertained in Los Angeles by a combined aggregation of the Los Angeles and Vernon players. They will play five games. Three old coast league favorites will be with the Reds—Bohme, Pinelli and Caveney. CORPU.

Happy as a school boy over his victory over Johnny Wilson the Boston title holder last night before 12,069 persons at the Polo grounds, Greb smilingly asserted this morning he would give all legitimate challengers a chance at the title. His victory over Wilson last night was by a judge's decision, given after Greb and Wilson had battled 15 rounds—12 of which were Greb's. Wilson, slow and awkward, was bewildered by the challenger's attack. He won only the first and last rounds. In the final round he waded in, regardless of the flurry of blows thrown at him by Greb. It was a desperate bid to terminate the contest by a knockout, the only way Wilson could win the fight. Greb fought in his characteristic unorthodox style, swarming all over Wilson and punching from all angles forcing the exchampion around the ring under a barrage of lefts and rights to the jaw and body.

Y., Sept. 1.—The doubles team of America and Australia established a world's record for competitive tennis in the challenge round of the Davis cup series this afternoon by playing 56 games before a decision could be reached in the first two sets.

PARIS, Sept. 1.—The council of the league of nations has adjourned consideration of Greece's demand that the league intervene in the Italian-Greek dispute, according to dispatches from Geneva. The adjournment was made at the request of Italy, the dispatch said. It was understood the matter would be taken up again Tuesday.

ROME, Sept. 1.—Italian troops have been landed at Samos, Greece, it was learned this afternoon. Extension of Greek occupation is proceeding according to plan.
