Lavalle, also a wealthy younz man, who has boxed as an amateur for the love of the game, before his departure worked out with Bunge a plan of campaixn that included overything. This plan was photographed und & copy was glven to Lavalle, while Bunge retained the other. Cabled Detalls Every Davy. ¥very day Lavaile cabled to Bunge and told him everything that had oa- cyrred during the day's training, Bunge replied and gave additional advicd. A small fortune was spent in eable tolls between these two men. Bunge actually cabled Lavalle how many rounds Firpo should box, how many miles he should do on the road, at what hour he should go to bed and &t what hour he should arixe. These instructions were practically followed to the letter by Firpo. Every day a doctor took Firpo's pulse, breathing, heart action —in _fact, everything that should be examined in the vast mechanism of man. All this information was cabled to Bunge. Had it been possible | have no doubt that instructions would have been cabled to the ringside during the progress of the battle 1t must be remembered that Lavalle didn't speak a word of English. Therefore anything that he wished to protest about during the progress of | the fight would have to be done through an interpreter. In view of the shortness of rest between rounds, the impossibility of this situation will be_realized. Firpo took a cottage at Atantic City which was bit of Argentina transplanted in America. He had his | own chef, & Uruguayan, who had been ned to him by the consul for Uru- y in New York. No English was | *poken at all in the little white cot- | tage by the xea. Firpo majestically departed from his cottage to the training quarters in his automobile, accompanied by “aficianades” (fans). | His sparring partners were Joff Clark (the Joplin Ghose), young Bob Fitz- simmons, Joe McCann, Frank Koeble and Natalio Pera, the latter a native of Argentina.

This lasted three weeks, and at the end of that time he was pro- nounced fit by his trainers, Lavalle and Bunge. Firpo did suffer from rheumatism in h left ar This was a great source of worry to the two trainers, but despite clectric massages the pain continued, and Jirpo undoubtedly suftered great pain in bis left arm ¥y of the fight. training methods, as we have said, have been condemned, but Firpo wai perfectly pleased diring his training, and if he hadn't suffered thay pain in his left arm 1 am sure he Swould have been very eonfident of winning. AS it was, he expressed doubts long before the day of the match. FHe feared "un fracas" (de- feat), and repeated this almost until it was time for him to depurt for (ne Pglo grounds. He was still obsewed with the ides that he shouldn’t bave fought Dempsey until next year. The Dempsey-Firpo fight is history now, though spectators will never agree on the detalls, Firpo insisted before the bout that no claim of fouls should be made in his behalf and un- der no circumstances were his seconds to throw in the towel. “If T lose, I must be counted out in the ring by the referee,” he declared. How Firpo Talked Then. This is how Firpo talked of the fight afterward: “Dempsey committed during our bout, but 1 doubt whether T wouldn't have done the same thing he did had T knocked him down seven times in one round. He naturally was trightfully excited, the same as 1 was, and under those circumstances men forget a lot about the rules. I am sat- isfied that Dempsey didn't commit any intentional foul.
