HUSSARS THE VICTORS IN FRIDAY'S CONTEST Defeated Wolfe Island 10-2 in First of 8econd Round Series In Intermediate O.B.A.A. The 4th Hussars, winners of the Kingston city league senior series, defeated Wolfe Island, corquerors of the Frontenac League and the Lennox and Addington League, 10-2, in the first game of the second round series in the intermediate O.B.A.A. playoffs at Wolfe Island on Friday. From the first the visitors 'ed and bad errors and the absence of their first-string pitcher held back the Is- landers much more than they should have been. Sammy Hogan's boys had fourteen misplays during the match, many of them costly and, on the other hand, the stout-hearted and strong-armed "Bob" Kyle had not the skill to turn back the Hussars and they collected fifteen hits from his delivery, one of them for three bags and three others for two. It was almost such another day as the first Tamworth game saw. A . drizzling rain beat over the field now and then but it failed to stop the proceedings and, unlike the Tam- worth fixture, ended in sunshine, Moore did the twirling for Hussars # but was not his usual self. He falt- ered badly at times and had the Is- landers been up to form they might have made him step to win. The soldiers tallied in all but three inn- ings, starting with two in the first, Wolfe Island, though they got many » runners on the paths, scored only with their two in the fourth and at . other times were left on. The second game is in Kingston on Tuesday next and shouid be a much better battle as botn teams will play in top form on the better { diamond. Nicholson, cf .. Arniell, ¢ Gourdier, 1b Fannon, ss ....

New York, Sept. 6.--Luis Angel Firpo, who meets Harry Wills at Boyles Thirty Acres, September 11th, remains the enigma of the prize ring although he is a veteran of 32 battles during the five years of his career, When the giant Argentine enters the ring to fight Wills for the right to challenge Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight championship of the world, his course of action will. be hidden behind an inscrutable mask. His chances of victory will rest upon the use he makes of a tramendous right hand and powerful body. Violating orthodox methods of training, ignoring ring technique and scorning scientific boxing, Firpo, once a stevedore on the docks at Buenos Aires, employed the elemen- tal equipment of a fighting heart, a rugged hody and a powerful right hand, to battle his way through waves of criticism and knock the marvel of modern heavyweight cham- plons--Dempsey--out of a ring a year ago, : A rugged body motivated by.a single-track mind, a stubborn will and fearless courage, earned for Firpo the name of "Wild Bull of the Pampus" during his rise to fame which constitutes one of the pictur- esque romances of the prize ring. Born October 29th, 1895, in Ar- gentina, of an Italian father and a Spanish mother, Luis grew up as a bootblack, an odd job man and graduated to the manly occupation of stevedore. Labor was irksome----ob- servers claim that Luis still shirks heavy work during his training per- lods--and in 1917, two months after he witnessed his first prizs fight, Firpo entered the ring and was knocked out in the first round by Angel Rodrigues, now retired. The setback only angered the fu- ture Wild Bull who bowled over a score of amateurs before his first professional fight in September, 1919, with an American, William Daly. Firpo won b ya knockout in seven rounds and had added 11 other knockout victims to his record hen he first came to this ¢juntry in 1922, Firpo wgs met by uo bands or r ¥HE DAILY BRITISH WHIG "SPORTING OUT OUR WAY Na "- public acclaim when he first arrived here. Landing unostentatiously, he trained in cellars, fought off hunger but never thought of abandcning the career whilh he had chosen. When an opening came he knocked out Sailor Maxted, Italian Jack Herman and Joe McCann before returning to Argentine, where he won his first big purse in beating Jim Tracy, an Aus- tralian. Since tha¥ time Firpo has been in the public eye. He cam: to this country early in 1923 and knocked out Bill Brennan, Jack McAuliffe and halted a come-back by Jess Willard. Before each fight his equipment was ridicufd, and it was freely predicted that Dempsey would easily 'conquer the crude workman from Argentina. But the champion was knocked down twice and hurled out of the ring be- fore he beat the Wild Bull to the canvas for the seventh time, to win by a knockout in two rounds in the most spectacular prize fignt in his- tory. Firpo grew in business sagacity as he advanced in power. His manages his own affairs, combs the country in barnstorming flurries and his financ- ial bouts with Tex Rickard and other promoters have attracted almost as much attention as his fights in the ring. In the midst of negotiations for a return match with Dempsey, the "Wild Bull" sudenly announced that he was thfough with prize fighting; but when Rickard offered more at- tractive inducements, he changed his decision. In his own country he has been regarded as a national hero because of the attention he attracted to the South American continent. He is now implicated with immigration authorities here in a legal = battle which has a woman in the) back- ground. Firpo won 24 of his 32 battles by knockouts, and seven by decisions. His knockout by Dempsey was the only reverse of his professional car- eer.

NO FAVORITES FOR ST. LEGER CLASSIC Winners of Season's Big Events Seldom Successful on Doncaster Town Moor. London, Sept. 6.--Doncasfer, home of horse racing for nearly two and a Quarter centuries, where for almost 150 years the St. Leger, the oldest of the five classic races for three- year-olds which feature the flat-rac- ing season in England has been run annually with but few interruptions, will be the racing centre of the country next week, with the St. Leger Stakes being run on Wednesday. With the running of the St. Leger all the classics for the year will have been decided, those rum previously being the Two Thousand and One Thousand Guineas at Newmarket in May, and the Derby and Oaks at Epson in June. Although the glamor and popu-| larity that surrounds the running of the Derby over the Epsom Dawns is not so marked at Town Moor, the St. Leger is generally considered a better test of the thoroughbred than the chief Epsom classic, or that at Newmarket. The Town Moor course is one mile, six furiongs and 132 yards, compared with the Derby course of-one mile and a half, or the Two Thousand Guineas course of one mile, and is admittedly a better course than that at Epsom. Coming as it does in September, the 'mares' month," when the fillies are pre- sumably at their best, and the more slowly developed colts are nearing the top of their form, the winners! of the earlier classics meet their most serious opposition at Doncaster, with the result that in many cases they go down to defeat Papyrus, winner of the Derby last year, was American Flag ran away for a big field of juveniles in his first start, Maid-at-Arms out-hoofed a dosen highly prized two-year-oids in a driving finish and By Hissell was first acroes the wire in near record time.

Diophcn, H. H.
