Firpo said he would not decide until he talked with Hugh Gartland, his New York representative, who is onr his way here, and who notificd Firpo that he had an offcr of $250,000 for a fight with Wills from a New York promoter. Firpo explained that he was no longer hound by the agreement made with Rickard after the Dempsey match to fight Wills, because th time limit for Wills’ signature to the agreement had expired; hence he was at liberty to accept the Newark offer.
