But he lost like a man fighting to feat than ever he had been in vic- tory. Knocked out in three minutes and 57 seconds of the most furious fighting ever recorded in ring his- tory in which he was floored seven times, but managed to send the cham- pion crashing clean through the rope after battering him to his knees, the !sturdy son of the Argentine sti}! gazes with determined eyes on the crown which Dempsey barely saved by a right upper cut which stretched Firpo on his back. “In a year I'll be back again,” he declared when lifted to his feet by the man who had floored him, and had staggered uncertainly to his dressing room. Losing fighters have made that jtatement before and been laughed at for their pains, but not so with Luis. A vast majority of the 100 who witnessed the battle believed him and Tex Rickard who put on thel fight declared he was ready to stage another Firpo-Dempsey battl: next summer or match the.

The crowd realized that they were gazing upon ho ordinary boxers; they| were witnessing gn elemental, grip- ping, merve-shakhe battle; between two lion-hearted men to whom the verb “to quit” was unknown, At the gong both fighters flew at4 one another like tigers. Dempsey hurled himself across the ring, slip- ping to his knee in his hurry which carried Fitpo to the rope. Then a ht to the body and a left to the jaw and the challenger crashed to| he canvas, A short count and Firpo again was n his feet, His eyes shown with the fire of battle as he lunged. Dempsey stood his ground. For the! second and third time he knocked his heavier opponent to the floor. Firpo’s mouth ‘gushed blood but thouvsh stun- ned he was far from aut. He drove a sledge hammer blow right into Dempsey’s ribs with a thuc that could have been heard a block away, but the champion’s ribs weathered the blow and he returned’ to the attack with a fury that sent Firpo to the floor for the fourth time. A few sec- onds and he was down again, this time in Dempsey’s corner and it seemed as if he could not arise again. Thought Fray Ended The champion stepped over the fallen body of his adversary looking} but it hadn’t. With the count of nine the South American was on his feet again and rushed at his rival. It wa, stupendous, a staggering rush that ‘sent Dempsey to his knees. Jac rose battered but game. But Firpo was at him in an in- stant. He sent a right swing that landed squarely on Dempsey’s jaw. The crowd, crazed by the drama it was witnessing, saw. Dempsey dash out of the ring and out of the ropes landing flat on his back on the press benches. In an instant he was ba bi groggy, his legs quivered. He wi pale. But Dempsey had fought more battles than the daring youngster from Argentine and his strategy saved him. He fell promptly into « clinch until his brain ceared. Firpo Unable to Land Had Firpo then been able to land one of his staggering rights a diffe: nt story might be told, but he was unable to follow his advantage before the bell tolled. Before walking to his ‘corner Dempsey cut the South Amer- ican si 1 times about the head but the referee appeared not to no- tice it.
