ATLANTIC C I T Y.—
Sunday afternoon, for the
first time, we saw Luis
Angel Fripo, the young
man from the Argentine
who will step in the ring
at the Foio Grounds in
New York City on Sep
tember 14th and endeav
or to knock the crown
of the heavy
weight championship; of
the world, from the brow
ef one William Harrison
Dempsey, the present ti-
tleholder.
With high expectations
we trooped out to Atlan
tic Park where the South
American cave man
preparing for the fight
and some forty-five min
utes later we trooped
back—disappointed.
It may have been that
the so called “Wild Bull
of the Pampas” was not
|exerting himself, proba-
I bly so, still he showed no " u,cr
I outstanding reasons why
'Dempsey should lose any
great amount of sleep
over the possibility of los
ing his title.
At first glance, Firpo
impresses one as being a
j throw back to ages past
when men wore tiger
skins and very little else.
Had Firpo been dressed in
a tiger skin and carried a
club, the picture would
have been complete.

A Worth-While
Reputation
The head of one of«this country’s great manufacturing institu
tions says:
“The man who builds and the man who buys are both
beneficiaries of reputation. To the one it is a continu
ous spur and incentive—to the other, the strongest of
all guarantees that what he buys is Worthy.”
Patronize the manufacturer or merchant who has a reputa
tion for honesty and fair dealing. Such motives must actuate
the consistent advertiser in The Banner-Herald. The man who
invests real money in building a 4 reputation for himself and his
merchandise cannot afford to risk any of ft by taking unfair
advantage of his customers. He must retain the good wiil df the
buying public. Without this, 'his business cannot succeed.
Every time he advertises in The Banner-Herald he puts his
reputation-in your hands. His products or the wares he has for
sale must make good. His service must be advertised.
That is why it pays to read Banner-Herald advertisements, to
deal with Banner-Herald advertisers and to buy advertised
goods.
Yes, it is worth your while to
read Banner-Herald advertisements
There in a fascination in watch
ing him. Ho In a big man with
,muhcIps that ripple through hi*
buck and shoulders that hint of ter
rific hitting power. He ir well
built for his size. Fetter built
thbn Dempsey, for FIrpo's legs nr<
in proportion to the rest of hi*
body, while Dempsey's are a bit
ton small.
Firpo seems to weigh nbout 20( ^
pounds nt present, possibly n pound merco
or so mure and It is probable tha’
he will enter the ring on the event
ful night at this weight.
The exhibition be gave really af
forded no opportunity to tell Just
exactly what condition tho chnf*
Ienger, Is In or how good or othor-
ing .» »wn at Is does on Clnytoi
Street in the middle of the day and
despite the fact that persplrutio:
was pouring from him. lie did not
seem in tiie least winded. That
tut ought, to stand him in goo*’
stead
once he rot a trifle rough an«
with a straight right to the shoul
.I t spun his sparring partne
across tho ring. The left which hi
is developing, according to* th*
newspapers was not introduce*
Sunday. He may have it, but 1*
dors seem as though he wnuh
have showed an inkling of one.
Firpo, to our mind, can 1
summed up in Jus/ one sentence-
Brute strength combined with thf
• ’durance of a marathon runner
No science whatsoever, no brilli
ant footwork, no startling brali
work. In some ways he remind
one of the elephant, not using hi
»»wn brain, who at the command o
bis trainer braces his great
strength against a heavy wngor
and pushes it forward. AH Firp-
seems to know Is to wait until hi
vets an opening as wide as a cottor
truck and after due warning that I -
Is coming, slam In his gloved rlgh
b ind with his entire strength—and
Mien back off to see how the vie
tlm takes it.
If he ever hits Dempsey and thr
n stand un under It, Fir
00 !s going to fake a trip on the
•Dreamland Special" for while h*
wns backing off. Dempsey would
he on him like a tiger.
F<» far Firpo has proven a illsap

but then the newspaper boyt
have to make n living.
