(United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 28.— (United Press).—No boxer in the history of the ring ever had such a sensation- al rise to prominence or made sq much money in such a short time as did Luis Angel Firpo. It is prob- able conditions for his ele fighter to one worth a hal¢ million. that no boxer ever will find » suitable as Firpo did ion from a ten-dollar Boxers with more ability than jack the size and ‘color Boxers in the future same color and romance ity may never find the t Firgo found when he just stumbled into it. Firpo was the first South Amert- n fighter to become famous. Since ne became famous he started a ogue for South American fighters and in a few years, there wil! be no novelty in watching or reading about Svuth American fights. It is very possible that Brazilian or Ar- gentine fighters may earn a repu- ion for being cheese fighters and will be given no opportunity in the United States. Firpo happened to spring up at a ime when promoters were looking or another million-and-a-half-dollar gate, like Tex Rickard pulled with the Dempsey-Carpentier fight. It was.the thought that the interna- tional character of the Dempsey-Car- pentier bout was what wou'd have to be provided to get another vast yutpouring of the boxing public. There were no great foreign fight- rs avyajlable until Firpo showed up and Rickard with more foresight than any other promoter, grabbed m and rushed him along into a t fortune. Firpo wasn’t a natural fighter as much like Jess Willard. He saw In Uoxing a chance to make enough money to make him ind pendent for life, and when he got the money he was ready to quit Wilh came back and put on th sloves, after he went bro‘a. but there is scant chance that Firpc the ind much a and he signed up every foreign fighter in sight, Rickard certainly knew that a Firpo comes only once in a lifetime, and even with all the breaks that a gambler could get, he could not hope to find another one ready for the plucking. The New York promoter'’s exper- fence with Quintin Romero, ‘the lion of the Andes,” was enough to convince him that there was only one Firpo. Romero had the heart of a lion, but he didn know a thing about fighting, and was stopped by Flvyd Johnson a third-rater, in the heavyweight Rickard said that Romero could fight and that he might make some- thing out of him, but Rickard knew that he would not do, ane he wa just trying to encourage himself in the hope that he would not have a total loss out of the Chilean’s con- tract fur three fights. Erminio Spalla, Italian heavy- weight, is on his way from South America now, and Rickard wil have to give him a test against some good trial horse. Spalla went 14 rounds with Firpo, but that does not mean that he is a great fighter. What he. inherits from his race equips him with the natural ability to take a lot of punishment, but he will need more than a stout heart to work his way through the heavy- weight class. Spalla was in this country once before, and he was almost a bust. He hasn't had enough good experl- ence since then to be any more than a bust if he to fight any of the leading heavyweights on this visit. Rickard may get some place with Louis Vicentini, the Chilean’ light welght, but unless Benny Leon- ard is so weakened by making the weight that he can't stand up, Vi- centini has little chance to win the title. Invasion of the foreign fighters wil! do much to help the game in this country, not only because it us interest to the business, but because the foreign fighters have hown American managers that the way to get fights and make money ever will go broke. He’ !s too care ful with his money, and he had enough hardships in his lean year to realize how nice :t 1s to have plenty of money. Perhaps Firpo would like to have become the heavyweight champion for the fame that {t wou'd have brought him in South America. If he had won the title it {s almost a sure thing that he never would have defended it, and that it would have been in hock for the period of his natural life. ‘When Firpo decided that he would have no more business dealing with Tex Rickard he practically signed his own retirement, for Rickard had all the heavyweight matches cor- nered that could have been arrang- ed, With Firpo out of competition, Ri¢kard gambled on getting another wild something of the same place, sonal reply enclose a stamped, of the Casper Tribline, (Copyright, 1924, Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune Question.

E HN The chief reason is that the French cannot throw. Throwing comes natural to an American boy, because he has done it since earliest childhood, but French students of baseball have learned that a grown youth cannot acquire the art of throwing. There is a movement to introduce the game in boys’ schools, in order that it might be established in the next generation. 2 2 2? Wyoming Motorway ? ? f° ST.
