Trtkens to a Ls aes so feey | FIRPO WILL BE NEXT CHAMPION TEX RICKARD SAYS AFTER BOUT (Continued From Page 1) title role of “age beating youth,” who forced the gamest youngster ever seen in a ring, Floyd Johnson, to surren der after the éleventh round. But above all there was the hairy- chested Firpo, with fists like pump kins hanging on arms like ‘ence- who beat down to the resin- ind blood-spatted canyas the sion of the form perfect Cor- ck McAuliffe of Detroit. Rickard, the greatest of the world’s promoters, waked around the pit where the writers were battling with copy after the carn'val, and re- marked: “Boys, if I know a fighter, that Firpo 1s the next world's heavyweight champion, Mark that down, and let time give the decision.” Sixty thousand spectators who pack ed the world’s greatest baseball park had to"be content with some very me- diocre boxing until Firpo and the green-tighted smiling McAultffe en- tered the ring. After that came Jess Willard, 40, former wor!d’s heavy- weight champion, against Froyd John- son, who spotted 53 pounds and nine years’ experience. It was the snar'ing, primitive Firpo, with a rage that made him snort like t wild “1.1 from the I’ampas., who brought that which the carnival was expected to produce—a rival for Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champ!on. Everything but the star bouts can be dismissed without comment. Fights between Drake and McCann, and Reich and Herman were arranged merely to entertain the crowd while the late arrivals were hunting seats The Fulton-Renault match was a semi feature to adc class to the card but it failed when Fu'ton chose to run out on a fou! in the fourth, Fulton hit Renault jow. Young Jack McAuliffe. whose man ager sold his contract last year, was picked by Jim Corbett as the next heavyweight champion. That per haps was the jinx McAuliffe carried, because Corbett never has picked a winner. McAuliffe made the fatal mistake of | trying to box with Firpo, But there} was nothing else for him to do. He) used a left to the face which rocked the giant from Argentina, but it only succeeded in making the caveman mad, The Detroit youngster, with a body Uke old Bob Fitzsimmons and a flashy boxing form like Corbett, danc- ed around the hairy-chested giant un-| ti! Firpo caught him with a wild right) swing late in the second round and the gong saved him. Two. right uppercu the force of a falling freight elevator,| dropped McAuliffe to the floor early in the third round and elevated Firpo to the position of the logical man to meet Dempsey. Nothing but psychic wires kept the game young Floyd Johnson going for eleven rounds against Willard. Willard’s right uppercut landed on Johnson in the second he was through then. With the gameness of an old Ro- man gladiator who had to win or perish under the sword, Johnson fought back and back and back. He fought on the theory that Willard was an old man and would fade un der a withering pace that would ex- haust all his faltering strength. Johnson made that theory sound for eight rounds. He was out on his feet, but he battted like a maniac. His eyes were glassy, he had to be directed to his corner, his legs wav. ered but he, kept going. In the ninth he went down but the merciful bell clanged amid the wild shouts of the crowd, and he was dragged to his corner after “three’’ had been counted over him. The eleventh round was his Wa: terioo. When the gong sounded after he had taken everything that one of the strongest men in the ring had given him, he was flat on his face and out, His seconds rushed frantically out of the corner and picked him up | and he sailed in and tried to use his legs. The seconds lost their ho'd on id Severeid, him when they reached the corner and \ ts, sent in with} rhe fell across the ropes, like a sheet | on a clothes line. His chief second then recalled Ret- eree Jack Appel and told him that Johnson could not continue. Johnson didn’t quit—he didn’t take the easy way out. Like General Lee, he surrendered, and he won glory surrendering in the face of opposition | nst he had wasted everything he had in heart and musc'e trying to win Willard’s victory may be construed as a fine comeback against that oid! adage about “age vs. youth.” The former champion did prove that he could “come back.’ but he did not show that he has a chance to win the title from Dempsey. Since this carnival was arranged to get some tine on the heavyweight who has a chance to beat Dempsey, it can only be concluded that. Willard would not last three rounds against Dempsey and Fiepo would give Dempsey worst fight he ever had. Firpo proved that he cannot. be beaten by a clever man who can box ‘with him and make him miss; he proved that he has gameness and a fighting heart; he showed that he had the most powerfu! punch in the ring; he demonstrated that he did not need the “rabbit punch” to make him ef- fective, and he showed. above a¥, that én spite of the advance of civilization, there is still one of those primitive fighters who knows that there is noth- ing to do but take everything the op ponent has and then beat him. ‘The Argentine giant was a mar- velous improvement over: the Firpo who knocked out Bill Brennan some time back in twelve rounds. He had discovered a left hand, he snapped his punches, although at times he resorted to the methods of his an- cestors with wild swing: He was much lighter in’ poundage and he moved faster on his feet. He showed that he knew a vague little b't about covering up, but he needs little of that when he has the heart to take it and the ability to hit as few men havo hit since gloves were the {established ds the polite successors of the jaw bones of the Mastadons and the trunks of giant oaks. It was reported tonight that Tex Rickard will match Willard and Firpo for a fight here this summer, the winner to meet Jack Dempsey. Dempsey.

Hughie Walker, crack Kansas City, heavywelght, has been booked to! meet Harvey Perkins of Casper at the Elks fight program to be staged on Monday evening, May 21. In meeting a man of Hughie| Walker's type and ability, Perkins| will have to extend himself to the) utmost. As the Casper boy is a will-| ing mixer and wne tough cooks Hugh will not be blessed with any lead pipe cinch. If he leaves Wyo- ming with Perkins’ scalp hanging to his belt he will have to battle. Per- kins, the always aggressive and hard fighting boxer, is not apple sauce} for any of the so-called heavies.| Walker and Perkins will throw gloves at each other for 10 rounds, provid-| ing the referee {s not called upon to; remember his boyhood education and} cout up to “10”. Charley Long, who has proven to Casper fight fans that he is one tough piece of fighting machinery, will tackle Matt Flanigan of El Paso, Texas, in another 10 round chapter. This battle promises to equal that of Walker and Perkins as both Flanigan) and Long have boxed the classy! FORTCOLLINS BOYS WIN IN | TRACK MEET.

In the opening 10 round bout George “Bull” Moser, who won a hard fought 10 round go fronf Bat- tling Silva on the last Elks car@ will mingle with Lew Dillon of Denver. Dillon needs no introduction to Cas- per ‘fight fans as he has battled here on several occasions and never failed to give a good account of himself. Moser who made such a hit when he boxed Silva should give Dillon plenty to think about in the way of battling and furnish his Denyer opponent plenty of action.
