ARGENTINE WOULD - PAY WELL FOR BOUT $000,000 or Even Million to See Dempséy-Firpo Fight By Oharles P. Stowart People who think it's foolish to talk about & $500,000 to $1,000,000 offer from Buenos Aires for g fight be- tween Luls Angel Mrpo and Jack Dempsey don't know the Argentine. Buenos Alres, with ita suburbs, is & city of 2,000,000 population, there's barrels of money there, the South Americans are free spenders and they're fight crazy. ‘Wh more, they don't llke North Americans, There are mighty /few ntines, even among thos¢é who on't care particularly for fighting, who wouldn’t diz up the last centavo they could steal, beg or borrow to mee onhe of thelr countrymen try to lick a “Yanqul," And they certainly do believe Firpo can lick anybody. The personal ele- ment enters into it a good deal more than in this country. Jack Dempsey's only a name to the average North American. About a fourth of the population of Argentina lives right in Buenos Aires, where Firpo llves, and in Buenos Aires, which has a lot of small town characteristics in spite ot its size, everybody knows everybody. Mighty few of the inhabitants haven't seen Firpo with their own eyes and there are thousands who, even if he fin't aware that he's acquainted with them, think they know him, at least to speak to/ Then again, in fight matters' South Americans lack a sense of perspective, .They have lots of fights but the fight- ers, while they slug all right, have precious little science. In Buenas Aires a good pork and beaner vanks as a topnotcher, Now Firpo, though possibly not in Dempsey’'s class, is bet- ter than & pork and beaner. The Buenos Aires fans have seen him knock the tar out of men that they don't realize aren’t the best the world has to offer. Naturally they overes- timate him. Buenon Aires, as a crowd center, is , at the disadvantage of being a long way from other big towns whence to draw visitors. Buenos Aires itself, however, could be depended on to turn out almost in a body ‘and there certainly .-would be a big attendance also from places like Rosario, Cordoba and Bahia Blanca, which are pretty fair sized Argentine burgs; from Santiago and Valpariso, over In Chile; from Montevideo, in Uruguay, and even from as far away as Santos, S8ao Paulo and Rio de Jan- eiro, up in Brazil. Maybe if an Argentine syndicate sbould Put up as high as $1,000,000 it would have to gamble a little on get- ting all its money back with a profit, but at that it wouldn't be such a bad Let—not half as bad as other chances Argentine money has taken afore- time. It's also suggested that perhaps the Argentine authorities wouldn't permit the fight within their jurisdiction. Bosh! True, theoretically fights are forbid- den in Buenos Aires, but the Univer- sities club and the Police club hold them there right along just the same, with the utmost publicity, and no- body interferes with them. % Even if the municipal “intendente’ were to have a fit of virtue and shut down on a go between Firpo dand Dempsey, there are plenty of facilities for getting outside the city limits, and beyond them anybody can pull off anything. But that Buenos Aires itself should ' object is beyond the bounds of reason- able probability. If a fight offer should come, or has come, from Buenos Aires, it's an ab- solute certainty that one of the prin- . c¢ipal men behind it is Carios Seguin, ,the leading' Argentine amusement magnate and a multimillionaire. Any- thing Seguin asks the Buenos Aires authorities for he gets, and he's prov- ed it by asking for and’ getting some things that aren't mentioned here for fear he might come up and sue for damages. And behind Seguin is Carlos Torn- quist, the Argentine banker, who was reputed a couple of years ago to have bought the Monte Carlo gambling concession for the equivalent of $10,- 600,000 in United States money. Whether he really did buy it or not is neither here nor there. The point s that nobody questioned his ability to pay $10,000,000 for it without missing the money. That's the kind of cash and influ- ence that would look after a Firpo- Dempsey fight, if one should be staged in Buenos Aires, Of all the people mentioned in con- nection with the fight in Argentina plan, aside from Firpo himself, Tex Rickard's the only one who knows much of the country. Tex Knows The Country Tex knows a lot. - He lost a roll there, estimated to have contained about $1,000,000, U. 8. gold. Rickard's idea was to found a big estate in what's known as the Chaco, which, roughly translated, means “wilderness,” a vast region in the country’s extreme north—good land, but practically uninhabited, except for a few Indians and vast numbers of man-eating wild animals and pol- son snakes. He got a concession the size of a Texas county, fitted out an expedition at Embarcacion, the point of rails, and started to trek a week through the jungle to the Pilcomayo river, on which his land was situated. The expedition left Embarcacion with everything necessary to bulld a modern city on the Pilcomayo bank, but not much of it ever got that far. The mules and cattle strayed away in the jungle and were lost. Expensive wachinery, finished lumber, all kinds of supplies were dumped alongside the trail for Jack of transport. Indian guides deserted. Imported American cowboys got sick of it all and went home. Finally Tex himeelf abandoned the enterprise as a bad job. TFollowing his departure the Chaco Indians rounded up the lost mules and cattle, salvaged what they could from the wreckage and have lived in clover ever since. Later the indomitable Rickard made a second Chaco attempt from the Paraguayan side. He didn’t get far. An American company took the venture off his hands.

Saturday this Cologne, Germany, athlete clipped one and six tenths seconds oft the world rece ord for swimming 200 meters, breast stroke, over a 50 meter course, His time wag two minutes, fifty and four tenths seconds. The scheduled Saturday night’ game fizzled at the armory because Yale athletic officlals forbade Sulsman to engage in any games outside of his college activities, As the Hartford boy was the Collegiate team, there could be no game, But the youngsters provided a good exhibition incidentally showing the old timers a thing or two. This is a busy week for boxing fans, Tonight Young ILeonard, the 8heik of Wallingford, and Tracey Fer- guson provide the big show in Merl- den. Thursday night Benny Valger and Jack Lawlor will try to decorate each other's features in Hartford. Villa, ex-flyweight champ, had lit- tie trouble outpointing Willle Dacey of New York at Waterbury Saturday night in 12 rounds. But Flores, his fellow countryman, had tough proposition with Péte August, state lightwelght champ, Many thought the Filipino wad en- titled to a draw, though Referee Gal- vin g,ve it to the Nutmeg boy. Flores thoughf\so too, but made no protest and drew a good hand from the crowd by showing himself a game loser and shaking hands with the declared victor, . Kindred, a Worcester High school boy, looms up as a baséball phenom. He's a pitcher and hurls with either right or left hand® He ought to be a bear in a double header.

Sfax, Tunis, Marck 26.—In her olive garden bordering on the Sahara desert Mrs. Helen Joannes, a former| Wellesley student, has discovered the remains of an old Roman basilica. The find is of greatest interest to h | archacologists and historians fur its| connection with the history of the Roman occupation of northern Africa. Mrs. Joannes is the daughter of Fugene Regnault, fpr many years { French ambassador to Japan and also { high commissioner n Siberia during| the period of the Kolchak .anti-bol- shevik expedition. With her sister, Martha, Mrs. Joannes did post graduate work at Wellesley. She is well known in Bos- ton, New York and Washington so- ciety. Fascipated by the discovery of the tomb of Tutenkhamun, Mrs. Joannes started excavation in the wild Arab country near Mahares. She was re- warded by unearthing a beautiful stone basilica used by the Romans in the second century. It contained ex- quisite 'mosaics picturing peaococks and other birds, a drinking fountain, well preserved altar columns and Ro- man crosses. The discovery has led to general excavations in Tunis and Algeria with the result that other relics of the Romans have been brought to light. DR.

WOULD REGULATE CHICAGO TRAFFIC Different Vehicles Must Take Dil- Terent Streets in New Plan Chicago, March 26. (By Associated Press)—Technical experts of the Chi- cago Plan Commission are working out a comprehensive street plan for the city that will segregate varous kinds of traffic and provide specific streets for specified varieties of traffic. One system of thoroughfares will be restricted to light, rapid-moving ve- hicles and another to heavy slow- moving ones. The width of the streets will be adjusted to the types and vol- ume of traffic they will be called upon to bear, and pavements of all streets will be especially designed to accom- modate the kind of traffic that will use them. An ingenious color scheme has been proposed whch will compel traffic to use the proper streets. By this scheme anyone at any time can tell instantly whether a vehicle is on the proper street, and, if not, can report the vio- lation of the ordinance to the proper city authority. The idea is that all trucks of similar capacity shall Bear easily distinguishable signs of the same kind. For instance, all vehicles of five tons capacity would bear a red plate or sign. The streets over which such a truck could pass would be marked by signs bearing the same color. All concerns using vehicles of any description would be furnished with the city map showing by similar colors the classification of every thor- oughfare in the city, and the allow- able weight of loads on the different classes of pavements. The cost of installing street signs, and of maintaining an adequate force to compel compliance with such regu- latory measures until the system be- comes self-operative, would be but a small fraction of the annuai sum now alleged to be wasted by the destruc- tion of pavements long before they should have outlived their usefulness, according to the plan. Light traffic streets would be paved with less expensive pavement than now demanded to bear their traffic, and often the width of the pa\.nent could be decreased, resulting in still more saving to the taxpayer and the city in general. At the same time the commission believes, the traffic and other needs of the city and its people could be much better served than is possible at present. C. L.

Increase Hap Been Deferred Until April 20, Fall River, March 26, — Another crisis in the cotton textile industry in this city was averted temporarily yes- terday when unions affiliated with the textile council voted to defer wuntil April 20 action on the refusal of the cotton manufacturers association to grant a wage increase of 15 per cent. Two of the six unions—the weavers and slasher tenders —carried the strike vote by the necessary two- thirds majority. A third—the loom fixers—fell but nine votes short of the two thirds figure. At a special meeting of the textile council held after the vote of the constituent unions had been announc- ed President James Tansey was au- thorized to notify the manufacturers of the unions decision and to declare the willingness of the council to meet the manufacturers at any time on or before April 20 to renew discussion on the wage question, With the decision of the textile council to continue negotiations, inter- est centered today in the possible ac- tion of the rival labor organization, the United Textile Workers of Am- erica which has demanded an increase of 29% per cent restoring wages to the scale of 1920. President Thomas 1. McMahon of the united textile workers who has been visiting: textile centers of New England and New York state soliciting financial support for a possible struggle in Fall River, is expected here tonight, to address a mass meeting. It is believed that he will announce at that time the policy his organization will adopt here. President McMahon was authorized” in January by textile unions to issue a strike call at his discretion.
