Price $18.00 By Bryan Lumpkin 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.

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.

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.
