Had it | missed he would have been a BUM, and would have returned to his na- tive land as thoroughly discredited as Bombadier Wells, Bill Lang and other counterfeit alien products of the Queensberry fields who preceded him to this country. In several important rospects the unch that Firpo exploded in Demp- | sey's beard was at once the Juckie and richest punch ever landed in t ring, It buiit around him the glamor of a caveman whose punching prowess was incalculable and this gave him a hox-office appeal out of all pro- portion to his merit | 1 sat with Jack Britton, the for- |mer welterweight champion, last |summer in Firpo's camyp, The Wild Bull was going through the languid motions of a workout, The Wills fight was but a fortnight ay. Britton's Dope Was- hit “There is nothing this fellow does | right,” said Britton to me. “He does not even punch right and that is supposed to be all he can do. Don't let anyone tell you he has greagness in any respect, The truth is I never saw a worse fighter any- where," Britton's estimate of Firpo's crudi- ties was substantiated in the fight | with Wills. The colored man ex- posed him to the gaping pubile as a big hunk of humanity with a fine IPIGHTING HEART and no ring skill. | Tirpo's camp tried to explain his | showing on the ground that he was | me m.m\ distressed as a result of the persecution of Canon Chase, who sought his deportation. There was reason to bel that this had pos- sibly affected the Bull. Through Now for Good More recently he was sent against (‘harley Weinert, a fourth-rater, and wain Firpo successf enacted the ole of the “world's worst fighter.” | Firpo is now definitely through ds u top-ranking heavyweight, and any attempt to rematch him with Demp- |%ey would interest the ticket-buying s publie in about the same degree as | nd-to-hand grapple between two mustarded hot dogs. But the good senor is not exactly | grief-stricken. He can write a' in six robust figu and lthats pretty fair for the ‘“worst { fighter in the world.’ IAP PLAYERS FIGHT.
