Battered down by a furious right hand attack that had all the power of a mountain boulder tumbling from the peaks, Willard was counted out in the eighth round while the hairy-chested Luis Firpo, |” the South American cave man, stood back of him snort- ing for more, | Willard took out of th ng him about $150,000, a 1 fine razzing. ‘The he had quit till think the More than crowd that match, witn ed t North and Bfouth America bat for the chance to meet k Dempsey | for the world's championship | The house wag almost solid for a/ Willard victory, Thousands of Fir. | po's swarthy countrymen were | packed in the dense mass, but their volces were lost in a tumult that arose tin the fifth round, when it seemed that Willard was to win.
