NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDN AY, MAY 9, 1023, Total Rolls 166 While Chuckmen Get Team Single of 574 his New York, May 0.—~Few figures as picturesque as that of Luis Angel Firpo, glant heavyweight from the Ar- gentine, have appeared on the pugil- Istic horlzon In many years. He stands out today as a unique as well as formidable aspirant for Jack Dempsey's crown, Having successfully hurdied so far all obstacles toward a title mateh with Dempsey—the scene of which if ar- ranged most likely would be in the Houth American's native Buenos Afres ==Firpo will face another barrier next Baturday afternoon when he boxes Jack McAulifte, I, of Detroit in a 15 round contest preliminary to the Wil- lard-Johnson bhout at the Yanks' sta- dium for the beneflt of the milk fund.

Since his knockout of Bill Brennan in Madison Square Gar- den he has been thoroughly schooled in defensive tactics and foot work. Five Principal Bouts Firpo has fought flve times since he first attracted attention upon his ini- tial visit to the United States in the spring of 1922. He bowled over three third raters here, returned to Buenos Afres to knock out Jim Tracy of Aus- tralia, and came back to box Brennan last March. Prior to that his ring experience was confined to engagements with South Amegican talent. He hung up a long string of knockouts thére after lieing stopped in his first fight as an amateur in 1917. That setback was the only defeat of his career, Standing well over six feet in height and weighing now about 214, Firpo is regarded by many critics as the most promising heavyweight contender now in the limelight. ° digo pessimists on their own ground that the ringside ice was broken in Chicago and boxing given a tem- porary lease on some new life, Tor this coup d'etat engineered right under their very noses, the Blue l.aws have made open threat and promise with a vengeance to impale Mullen on the ends of their rattling spears. | out record he has made in his first four games this spring, 59, an aver- age of almost 15 per game, In his first start against the Syra- cuse club Groves struck out 17 men, a new International league record. His second time out he fanned 15 and in his third start he struck out 14. His flvst test came in his fourth start of the season against the Rochester club, which had won 10 of the first 11 games played. Groves struck out 13 Rochester batters, yet he was beaten, 11 to 5, due to bunch- ing of hits and a flock of misplays by the Orioles. Dunn regards Groves as a better pitcher than Jack Bentley. His addi- tion to the Tigers might mean the pennant for Cobb. CARPENTIER 10 RETIRE Win, Lose or Draw, His Fight With siki Next September Will be His Hartford 9, Springfleld squad. It is expected that the same lineup will be used with the excep- tion of Conlin who will be saved for pitching in the future. Reynolds will probably take his place in right field.
