FirpO, Argentine
Heavyweight, viii
Return Here Soon
By Jack Lawrence

Luis Firpo, the Argentine heavy
weight who fought three battles in
the metropolitan district last summer
and won each OF them By a Knockout,
Is again 10 invade New York, according
TO n cablegram received by Tex Rick
ard from him yesterday. Richard has
been making overtures 10 the South
American for some time. with view TO
putting him on in Madison Square
Garden against some local heavy
weight Of standing. The opponents
mentioned for Firpo IN the negotia.
tions that have been carried on are
Bill Brennan and Floyd Johnson. the
promising heavyweight who has been
brought 10 the front BY Charley Cook.
Firpo's eablegram to Rickard said;
Am willing TO fight. Will be there
soon"
This is taken by Rickard and Match
maker Frank Flourney TO indicate that
Firpo Is willing 20 meet either Bren-
nan or Johnson. and that he will be
prepared 20 sail from Buenos Ayres,
where he lives, within the next two or
three weeks. The message came az a
pleasant surprise 20 Riekard, and the
Garden management in general. Rick
ard smiled when he read the message,
and declared he had at last found a
heavyweight who was willing to hght
Tex Riekard seemed confident last
night that Firpo would be seen IN
Madison Square Garden against either
one Of the two opponents mentioned
some time in January.
At the weekly meeting OF the Boxing
Commission yesterday II was an
nounced that hcnccforth all fighters
who are disqualified for fouling will
forfeit their claim 20 any financial
remuneration or compensation OF any
kind. II is believed that tho O'Dowd-
Rosenberg battle on Thanksgiving Day
AT the Rink Sporting Club. In Brook
lyn, which was won b. tho former on
a foul, had n great deal TO do with
this action.
Tho commission also announced that
IN the future when any Official
whether he be a Judge or c referee, IS
assaulted or attacked AZ a licensed
club the license OF that organization
will be Immediately suspended and inc
boxer and his manager concerned ~
the attack will have their licenses re-
voked. There have been several inei.
dents recently in which judges and
referees have been threatened. and even
assaulted. because their decisions aio
not please those associated with either
one Of the principals.
Sammy Nable, we'll known local
bantamweight, was suspended by the
commission yesterday pending a near
/ ing on the attack alleged 20 have been
committed upon the person Of Chnrie
Miles, n Judge who ohieiatcd az me

when Nnble's followers objected Vio-
lently TO tho decision that was rem
