BUENOS AIRES, May 2.—The an- nouncement that Tex Rickard had matched Dempsey and Wills for a fight in September i3 viewed in sport- ing circles here as significant not only that Rickard has definitely abandoned his efforts to induce Luis Firpo to return to the ring, but has eliminated any possible chance of his return under any other promoter, at least this year. as it is considered there are no other opponents for the Argentine heavywelght who would make a fight sufficiently attractive. When the news was received of the Dempsey-Wills match Firpo heching northward by automebile on a business trip. Close. friends of Firpo dp.not be- lieve he dver will n(unl to the ring.
