IN 2ND ROUND By DAVID J. WALSH, I. N. S. Sports Editor. RINGSIDE, POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 14.—Loving that the fist is mightier than the typewriter, 81,000 persons, second largest gathering in the history of American sports, were in the Polo Grounds tonight for the bout between Jack Dempsey and Luis Angel Firpo for the championship of the heavyweight knuckle. They, the people, have been informed by gentlemen of the press that Firpo, who is called "Wild Bull of the Pampas," didn't have a chance of a stepchild, but that didn't prevent several thousand of the innocents rushing one of the ticket windows. Neither did the intimation that the Bull, not unlike his non-de-plume, was pretty much blank. Possibly it was the compelling personality of this strange, sad-faced man, with bulging muscles and hairy chest. He is the primitive man come to the modern ring with nothing but a club in the form of bone and muscle. This has carried him on from a raw immigrant, unschooled and unknown, to affluence and a position in the public eye of two great nations within a period of a single year. He is the alleged man of deatty and one by one, Jack Herman, Joe McCann, Sailor Maxte and then Brennan, McAuliffe, Willard and Weinert have gone down before him. One year ago a grotesque man came to New York in the cellar because he lacked funds. Tonight he is one of the principals of the second greatest fight on record. That is the record of Firpo and the public Always highly susceptible to the lure, the public paid tacit tribute to his genius as a showman by filling every seat. Life twilight was hardly again in a cloudless sky when the traffic at the gates reached the peak, and all attaches of the ball park were forced to carry on at top speed in order to keep the throng moving. Everything was conducted in an orderly manner within the enclosure, but outside the gates, many of the disappointed customers got out of hand, several thousand making an attempt to rush one of the ticket wagons for general admission seats. The attempt was frustrated without undue disorder by the prompt action of the mounted police who rode the ambitious ones into a more workaday frame of mind, much after the manner that a squad of cowboys might ride herd of unruly cattle. A police cordon was drawn about the grounds for a radius of three blocks and only those able to produce tickets could penetrate the uniform line. Those held in abeyance declined to return home, however, remaining to learn the outcome by vocal means, since they could not be optical. Other commission's medical examiner. In fact, he outclassed Firpo in the advance calculations and odds of 3 to 1 on Dempsey were the prevailing figure at ringside. The Latin's main asset, taking precedence over even his size and strength, was his arching right hand. With this he has scored knockouts over nearly every man he has met in America. With this he hoped to do likewise with Dempsey and fall their to the proverbial millions. As it is, he received $125,000 before he entered the ring. Dempsey's end of the expected gate of $1,500,000 was $500,000, the largest purse ever given a fighter in the history of the ring. Jack Kearns will be in Dempsey's corner to see that he doesn't jeopardize his chance to get another half million some time in the immediate future. In Firpo's corner will be Horatio LaVelle, the Argentine trainer; Hugh Gartland, an American; and Widmer Guillermo, another Argentine. About 200 of Firpo's countrymen were scattered throuout the crowd and members of the Argentine embassy occupied a field box. Dowell Farr of Buenos Aires, Felix Bung, adviser of the challenger by cable another of Firpo's countless eccentricities—wailed to learn the glad or bad news, as the case may be. The first preliminary was short. It served to produce a fight between Louis Brown, 208 pounds, of Australia and Joe Bright, 207, of England, but the business failed to flizz. One right to the jaw after 58 seconds of alleged boxing was enough for Brown, who went down heavily and got up the same way. Because of the hasty conclusion of the Brown-Bright affair, an added attraction was put on involving Frank Kearns who is firpo's own. Burke's inability meant runs.

A police cordon was drawn about the grounds for a radius of three blocks and only those able to produce tickets could penetrate the uniform line. Those held in abeyance declined to return home, however, remaining to learn the outcome by vocal means since they could not be optical. Others ranged the crest of Coogan's Bluff, their figures silhouetted against the early evening sky to form a picture that quite captured the poetie fancy. From this point of vantage they obtained a sort of "Peeping Tom" view of the proceedings thru the upper and lower tiers of the grand grand stand. Dozens, slightly more fortunate in the choice of residence, looked down from the eminence of a 16-story apartment, hovering on the edge of the bluff. Huge lights played on the facade of the upper stands illuminated the scene and furnished artificial sunlight for the news scavengers. Off to the left the crescent moon dipped low over the right field stands, looking naturally pale in comparison with the incandescence of countless lights. The ring, lighted by great night burners, was powdered with rosin by a fat man in a trick sweater. It was the same ring in which Jimmy Wilde, Kilbane, Criqui and Wilson were deprived of their titles this year and that was taken as a bad omen. This idea, however, was scouted back chilidish by Jack Sylvester and J. Corbett, who, oddly, were seated side by side in the press row. The unique angle of this fact was that Skelly, the featherweight, fought in the same ring the night Corbett beat John L. Sullivan. The only thing in Pirpo's favor was height, weight and possibly strength. He weighed in at afternoon at 216 1-2 pounds, while Dempsey scaled 192 1-2. In all other respects, physical and technical—the champion was granted the edge. He has the speed and ability to punch from any angle. Pirpo has neither. He was also a finer physical specimen than Latin, according to the state athletic another of Firpo's countless eccentricities—waited to learn the glad or bad news, as the case may be. The first preliminary was short. It served to produce a fight between Louis Brown, 208 pounds, of Australia and Joe Bright, 207, of England, but the business failed to fizz. One right to the jaw after 58 seconds of alleged boxing was enough for Brown, who went down heavily and got up the same way. Because of the hasty conclusion of the Brown-Bright affair, an added attraction was put on involving Frank Koebele, one of Firpo's sparing partners, and Charley Nashert of Jersey City. The bout was scheduled for four rounds. The men weighed 172 pounds. Koebele slipped from a right hander from Nashert. He took a count of three. Later in the round Koebele came back and was doing well at the gong. After that the bout became more or less painful, not to say unnecessary. Both tired badly, but Nashert further commended himself by scoring another knockdown for the count of nine. Koebele barely lasted to the wire in the fourth round, his success in this respect being expedited by a fond embrace that lasted thru the entire last minute. Nashert won the decision without a murmur. Just before Al Roberts of Staten Island and Mike Burke of New York were announced to do a six-round turn an urgent call was sent out for Gustervio Lobo, of the Argentine consulate. That said they had an important cable message for Seno Lobo, so he dashed up. Roberts weighed 188 pounds; Burke 173. An enterprising taxi company furnished a diversion. Roberts and Burke falling to do so, by sending an airplane over the enclosure with the firm's name in a gleaming line of incandescence on the lower wing. Neither Roberts nor Burke had much to say for publication during the first round. Roberts had slightly better of the first two rounds, but took a fine old-fashioned trimming in the third, going down for a short count from a right hander to the head and having his ear torn with another. Roberts had a stormy journey thru the fourth, being staggered by three successive left hooks. He wandered thru the round in a fine young daze and was saved by with irresistable nausea tossing the youngest exit. They found that, but no longer both swain and no accurate ley's hair was finally Gates was hard right to throw the bell. Gates came in ed a left and right other left swing on the jaw, but he it might have been to get up. Bartley landed on to the jaw in the went so far as to playmate's head left.

The number of homeless in the devastated sections is 1,500,000 according to the home office. The refugees in schools, shrines temples and parks number approximately 398,000, while in houses which remained intact in the suburbs of Tokio there are 292,000. STAMPEDE FOR OIL LEASES AT G. & L. Discovery of Rich, Lower Sand Brings Offers of Large Bonuses The recent bringing in of a producer from a deep sand in the vicinity. Burke's inability to hit when he meant runs. At this point it was announced unofficially that Jess Willard, ex-heavyweight champion had joined the throng. It was also said that every portal to the park had been locked, leaving 20,000 on the outside—and not looking in. Roberta's mouth was a gory rain after the fifth and his abdomen heaved like a bellows. He was very much disturbed and disillusioned as he came out for the sixth. Burke won the decision by the length of a pagan's beard. The next feature brought together Leo Gates and Bartley Madden in a bout scheduled to go 12 rounds. The customers hoped for the best. The young men, however, failed to oblige in the first round, altho Madden succeeded in painting Gates' eye a ripe red with a left hook. Gates sent over a couple of hard lefts to the head in the second and kept Madden away with a straight left as Bartley rushed, but altogether the effect was not satisfying to the customers who had become a bit restive. There was no visible acceleration in the action during the next two rounds and Magnolius, the referee, with irrenistable name, threatened to toss the young men thru the nearest exit. They fought harder after that, but to no better effect. In the sixth both swung with enthusiasm and no accuracy whatever. Bartley's hair was terribly mussed. Finally Gates was moved to land a hard right to the head just before the boll. Gates came in rushing and landed a left and right to the head. Another left swing caught Madden on the jaw, but he did not go down. It might have been a lot of trouble the lines of his fur-bearing chest. A moment later Dempsey elbowed his way into the ring, preceded by Jack Kearns. He had a white sweater tied around his neck and over one pocket was printed his name. They were ushered into one corner and were photographed. Firpo, looking full into the camera, while Dempsey glanced nervously from left to right. Kearns had a natty white sweater over his torso and a diamond ring on the middle finger of his left hand. The latter appeared in the photograph with the usual ostentation. While announcement was being made, Dempsey in his corner warmly bundled in his sweater and a blanket. Firpo and his handlers occupied the other corner and stared fixedly and with great curiosity at the Dempsey side of the ring. Kearns and Joe Benjamin politely turned their backs. The entire preliminaries occupied considerably less time than is usual, the photographers being rushed out of the ring with a single snapshot, the entire ring being cleared in less than a minute. Before the photo was taken Dempsey advanced to Firpo's corner and presented his hand. The Latin merely touched it and nodded. Dempsey was introduced to the crowd and received the best reception he has received from an Eastern crowd. Firpo was greeted equally vociferously. The referee was announced as John-Dempsey's weight was 194 lbs 1-4 ny Ghallaghier. Firpo was towering over Dempsey while the champion blinked and nodded. FLASH—Dempsey Scores Knockdown.

The number of homeless in the devastated sections is 1,500,000 according to the home office. The refugees in schools, shrines temples and parks number approximately 398,000, while in houses which remained intact in the suburbs of Tokio there are 292,000. Discovery of Rich, Lower Sand Brings Offers of Large Bonuses The recent bringing in of a producer from a deep sand in the vicinity of the Graham and Loftus lease between Placentia and Olinda has started a leasing stampede similar to that recently witnessed about Anaheim, according to reports here today. Union Well No. 53 on the G. & L. was deepened to 4100, plugged back and cemented, and drilled thru to the 4600-foot mark, passing thru 500 feet of oil sand, according to the report. The same report is to the effect that the Union plans to drill 19 wells and has renewed leases on 1400 acres. The Coalinga-Mohawk is reported to have leased 100 acres and the California-Oklahoma 40 acres. Some of the property now being released at bonusus running up to several hundred dollars per acre was relinquished comparatively recently. SAILORS FIRE UPON U.S. SHIPS LOOTERS SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 14.—At least two men were hit by gunfire and another is believed to have leaped into the sea last night when U.S. sailors, on guard over the wrecks of the seven destroyers at Honda, opened fire on two small yawls which attempted to make fast to the wreck of the Nicholas in spite of repeated warnings to keep off. The casualties occurred among the alleged vandals, but on account of the darkness no definite count of the number hit by the sailors could be obtained. The 'two boats scurrred off into the night upon receiving the volley from shore where the seamen were stationed. It was reported that one other attempt has been mad by small boat pirates to loot the hulks of the destroyers. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—Two other destroyers were damaged off Point Honda, Calif., last Saturday when seven gunboats were completely wrecked, the navy department was advised this afternoon in an official dispatch from the commander of the Pacific Fleet. The report stated that the destroyers Seamans and Parrish captured here. with irresistable name, threatened to toss the young man thru the nearest exit. They fought harder after that, but to no better effect. In the sixth both swung with enthusiasm and no accuracy whatever, Bartley's hair was terribly mussed. Finally Gates was moved to land a hard right to the head just before the bell. Gates came in rushing and landed a left and right to the head. Another left swing caught Madden on the jaw, but he did not go down. It might have been a lot of trouble to get up. Bartley landed a couple of rights to the jaw in the seventh and even went so far as to drive his little playmate's head back with a long left. Leo failed at imaginary jaws and landed at will with imaginary punches. Another left sent Leo into reverse in the following round and a second caught him over the damaged eye and caused that organ to drip continuously. A right upper-cut inside also proved a source of annoyance to Leo. "Pardon my glove," said Madden as he continued to do the forcing in the ninth. He landed repeatedly with arching punches, Gates playing for the body. Gates came out full of business in the tenth, but thought better of it after the opening minute. Gates' face was a crimson smear from his bleeding eye in the eleventh, but otherwise Madden's punches seemed to be quite without authority. At this moment Firpo appeared with his retinue in tow. He looked strangely small as he stopped politely to avoid obstructing the customers' view of something. They were weared. This was at 8:15 p.m. An obliging first row patron vacated his $27.50 worth of furniture for the time being. The challenger's arrival passed virtually unnoticed. Firpo enters the ring at 9:53 1-2. He was attired in his checkered bath robe. Madden also did nearly all the scoring in the final round. Madden was awarded the decision. Bowing bravely, Firpo turned around and allowed the crowd to gaze upon him. He had a towel draped over his shoulders and the bath robe was spread wide to reveal FLASH—Dempsey scored another knockdown. FLASH—Dempsey scores another knockdown. FLASH Dempsey scores another knockdown. FLASH—Firpo scores knockdown. FLASH—Dempsey scores another knockdown. FLASH—Firpo scores knockdown. The instructions lasted for a seemingly interminable time. FIRST ROUND Dempsey came out swinging. The champion slipped to his knees as he attempted to clinch. Another left hook to the jaw sent Firpo down. The challenger would not stay down. He got up and landed a heavy right to the body. Another overhead right sent Firpo down. Firpo followed. FLASH—Dempsey scores knockdown. FLASH—DEMPSEY WINS BY A KNOCKOUT IN SECOND ROUND. SECOND ROUND Firpo followed Dempsey across the ring, leading three rights, knocking the champion clean out for the count of nine. Dempsey crawled up. Three times more Firpo hit him but Dempsey hoked a left to Firpo's jaw and the latter staggered. A right behind Firpo's ear dropped the latin for a short count. He got up attempted to land with a right to the body but Dempsey beat him to it and the punch landed on the latin's jaw and he landed on his face and this time he stayed down for the full count, attempting to turn over and come up at the count of eight but he was to dazed.

Order was restored by the DARWIN NOT SCIENTIFIC, SAYS BRYAN Hon. Wm. Jennings Bryan, after introduction by State Senator Lewis delivered a great lecture in the splendid auditorium of the Anaheim Union High school before a fine audience yesterday afternoon. His subject was "Did Evolution or God Make Man." If Mr. Bryan is not a great orator people understand him and get the ideas he wishes to convey which to him is vastly more important than to be famed for eloquence. Mr. Bryan is making a great fight for the old fundamentals, namely belief in God and the Bible, in the virgin birth of Christ who died and rose again for the world's salvation. Many who call themselves Scientists with some divines of the various churches and college professors are arraying themselves against these old truths in their efforts to support the theory of Darwin's Evolution. True science is classified knowledge. Nothing is scientific that is not truth. I do not combat with" says Mr. Bryan. "No scientific fact ever hurt religion." All truth is from God. Science may develop that truth but it does not evolve it. Science may harness the mountain stream or the electricity of the air and make them great sources of power. It does not evolve that power. It only develops it. Science needs the water and the lightning to do this. Science must be based on facts, not hypothesis. It is not a system of guesses but of truths that existed before science discovered them. "Evolution rests only on hypotheses or guesses and never on a single certified fact or truth. The plant growing from the seed is not being evolved from the seed but developed from the seeds." BLEACHERS Numerous Sore Heads When Police Swing Clubs Indiscriminately POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Order was restored by the police early this afternoon in the disturbance among a crowd estimated at 20,000 who lined the ball park for several blocks to purchase $3.30 seats for the Firpo-Dempsey bout. Many persons were slightly injured when police charged the crowd to quell the disturbance. Their injuries were not serious enough to require their being taken to hospitals. The sale of tickets was temporarily halted until the crowd became less fractious. Another ticket wagon, selling $16.50 tickets was spied by the crowd on 155th-st., around the corner from Eighth-ave., a mob of 3,000 menaced the wagon and the mounted police again charged the crowd and ordered the sale of tickets stopped. "Tex" Rickard, promoter of the contest came along at this moment, hurried to the steps of the ticket wagon and exhorted police to form the mob in line so the ticket sale could proceed. Rickard was hooted and jeered by the throng. Mrs. Robert Zinzer, the first woman in line for the $3.30 seats, was joined out of her position when the crowd become unruly. As a result she failed to buy a ticket albo waiting patiently since 8 o'clock this morning. Elevated, subways, surface cars, automobiles and wagons began to disgorge thousands who clustered in line on Eighth-ave., for blocks one woman, Mrs. Robert Zinzer, headed the line. She had waited patiently since 8 o'clock this morning for the ticket sale to start. When the impatient crowd began to surge forward, Mrs. Zinzer was thrown out of position but mounted police managed to rescue her from the macintosh and placed her at the head of the line again. Even while the rioting was in progress, hundreds of late comers began to arrive for the admission seats. The viaduct above Eighth-ave., was lined with people waiting to go down the stairs of the ticket booths.

It does not evolve that power. It only develops it. Science needs the water and the lightning to do this. Science must be based on facts, not hypothesis. It is not a system of guesses but of truths that existed before science discovered them. "Evolution rests only on hypotheses or guesses and never on a single certified fact or truth. The plant growing from the seed is not being evolved from the seed but developed. The chicken is not evolved from the egg, it is simply developed. The telephone or the automobile were not evolved, they were developed by human intelligence. People think they are believing in "Evolution" when they are only believing development. Darwin's doctrine of the survival of the fittest is the most cruel the world has ever known. "That is the doctrine of "might makes right." It has meant wars, oppression, the rule of the strong over the weak. And Darwin's two basic laws, to-wit: 1. National selection. 2. Sex selection is discarded by most scientists. It is impossible in our limited space to give even a fair idea of Mr. Bryan's great and convincing arguments used by him against the fallacies advanced in support of evolution. The loss of belief by Germany in the fundamentals of truth wrecked that empire. Mr. Bryan is simply sounding the alarm that our nation is heading in the same direction. He is using his great abilities to save us from such a fate.
