Firpo's Friends Raising
Big Fund for Battle
Will Offer Dempsey Huge
Purse to Fight Idol.

In addition to possible fights with
Carpenter in Europe and Wills in
Canada, Jack Dempsey may have a
chance to exhibit his prowess in South
America. A syndicate OF sportsmen In
the Argentine Republic is reported
be collecting fund which is TO be
the basis of an enormous purse for
the champion and Luis Firpo to battle
for in 1923.
The admirers of the South \merican
title holder believes that he will be ready
for Joust with Dempsey within n
year, and they are reported to be ready
to risk their last penny on the result.
Quite naturally if Firpo meets with an
upset during his campaign In this
country the Argentine fund would
probably be divided among the donors.
Firpo has been informed of the action
of his countrymen and is very eager
to make quick work of Jack Herman
when they meet this afternoon I'm the
ring of Ebbets Field. The men are
evenly matched physically and each
hits with great force. Firpo is 20 years
Of age. three years the senior OF his
opponent. The Argentine man stands
feet 3ls inches in his fight shoes,
while Herman's upward growth ceased
at 6 feet. Firpo weighs 30 pounds In
condition, 10 pounds more than Herman,
and the South American has an adj
vantage In reach Of 2ls inches.
Another bout on the card that should
interest the spectators will be a twelve
round battle between Dave Rosenberg
Of Brooklyn and Tommy McAleer. the
Harlem hitter.

BRITISH ACCEPT
POLO INVITATION
Lord Rocksayage to Head Team
to This Country, Says
Cablegram.
by SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

An international polo attraction here
terday with the receipt of a cablegram
from England accepting the recent in
vitation of the American officials.
Word came from Lord Tweedmouth of
the Nottingham Club that represen-
tative British team, probably headed by
Lord Rocksavage would be here early
In August for the American open cham
pionship. which Is to be held this year
at Rumson.
II it is to be the team that Lord
Rocksavage captained in the match
against the Argentine players recently.
then those who will accompany him
to this country are the Duke Of Pena
randa. William Buckmaster and Lord
Wodehouse. There is no certainty.
however. that the players named will
be chosen. but no matter what the
personnel of the British squad may
be 1t is sure to be one of high rating
and one that will make a decidedly
strong bid for the open title.
Within a few days the American
polo officials also expect to hear that
the Argentinians. who were invited
along with the British. the Hawaiians
cepted. Word comes unofficially that
the Argentinians. who have been play
ing near championship polo in England,
are anxious to make their appearance
here and that it all depends on their
success in arranging to delay their
return to South America. 1t is felt
here that inGsmuch as the Argen-
tinians expect to be international cup
challengers before very long they will
not miss the present opportunity of
testing their strength with the players
of the cup holding nation.
AS for Hawaii. the chances are
against a team from that country COM
ing to the United States this summer.
The majority of the leading players of
Honolulu. owing to the pressure of
business. are unable to make the trip,
1t has been learned. but il is quite pos
sible that one or two of the Hawaiian
poloists will come and join forces with
the leading players of California to
form an all Pacific team.

AGREE TO fight :
BY JUNE q, 1923
Managers Kearns and Des-
camps Now Listening for
Mention Of Money.
EUROPE IS NOMINATED
British Press Is Not Keen for
Bout to BE Enacted in
london.

Special Gable to THE NEW York HERALD
Copyright, 1922. by THE NEW yoRK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
London May 12.
Jack Kearns, manager for Jack
Dempsey, worlds heavyweight cham
pion. and NJ. Descamps. manager for
the European champion, Georges Car
pentier started the ball rolling for
another Dempsey Carpenter bout by
announcing that articles had been
signed for return match, to be held
in Europe before June 23, 1923. But
there is no purse. no promoters sig
nature and no acceptable offers have
been received.
The agreement actually amounts to
nothing except that Kearns has prom
iscd Descamps in writing that Car
pentier can have another match.
Kearns told The New York HERALD
correspondent that the matter had
been under discussion for week.
The Frenchmen." he said, were
under the impression that we wouldn't
give them a fight. We said that We
were perfectly willing and they said
they wanted it in writing. No promoter
had anything to do with the signing. 1t
is now up to the promoters to get busy,
and put up the cash. Everybody Is well
come to bid. The highest gets the fight
provided he is IA reliable party"
Must Keep winning.
Kearns said the agreement does not
prevent either OF the principals from,
fighting In the meantime. but that IL
either is defeated the match Ia off. The
time was fixed for June %, 1928. because
1t would take nearly that long to make
arrangements. He added that Dempsey
was willing to fight anyway, but that
he expected the fight to be staged III
London.
The managers agreed to certain corr
ditIons along the lines of the New Jer-
sey affair, but a larger ring, probably
measuring twenty-four feet. will be used
and lighter gloves. 1t is probable that
four ounce gloves will be used.
Duggie Stuart. prominent sporting
man, says that he will put up $4,000
for fight in London. $4,000 to go to
Dempsey, but he was not ready to-day
TO close the deal. even IL considered
acceptable. Kearns promised that
Woods could bid and expects that he
will make the best offer He thinks
that Tex Richard also will join in.
British Press Objects.
The announcement of the agreement
came at an inopportune time according
to the best opinion In sporting circles
because OF yesterdays "fiasco." and the
press already IL throwing cold water on
the prospect. The Evenin0 NetCs says
that "the British people will view with
mixed feelings the possibility Of sec
ond Dempsey Carpenter fight here. The
first contest was easily won by Dempsey
and another would be very much like the
meeting between Lewis and Carpenter"
The Pan Mall Gazette says: "A few
more such unsatisfactory and uneven
matches as that last night will bring
fighting again into contempt We should
think that the performance last night
will have shaken Carpenter from his
pedestal"
The Evening Standard: 'The Lewis
Carpenter fight was just as uneven
match as that between Dempsey and
Carpenter last year"

territorial Blow in Fourth.

Vincent (Pepper) Martin. Brookiyn's

him.
The foul blow was delivered in the
midst OF a furious exchange and was
undoubtedly unintentional.
Martin had all the better OF the first
three rounds and had staggered belmont
In the fourth session with heavy lett
handler to the chin. This blow seemed
to arouse the flghting spirit of the
Memphian and he sailed into Martin
with the greatest fury. Both men swung
their fists like fails and Martin was
delivering heavy thumps to the body
and face.
belmont had let go a heavy right
handler to the face, which missed, and
then swung with his left with the dis
astrous effect on the Brooklyn boy Ref
cree Patsy Haley at once disqualified
belmont. and Martins seconds worked
over hin several minutes before he was
able to get on his feet.
belmont shed tears over his unin-
territorial foul and the two boxers finally
shook hands as Martin was helped out
Of the ring. belmont weighed 100
pounds to Martins 1851 pounds.
Charley Ryder stopped Willie Daney
In the sixth round after one minute
