Firpo Stops Mccain in
Fifth of Rafting Bout
Argentine Giant Punches Newark Heavy From Pillar
to Post, Takes Hard Knock and Looks
Real Fighter

McCann's face. The Jerseyman retail
lated with a left to the face that brought
applause.
f'irpo then shot a heavy right to the
head and McCann danced away out OF
the danger zone. Firpo pressed for
ward and missed with a hard right.
Before the big fellow recovered his
equilibrium McCann sent a right to the
face that drove the Argentinian back
on his heels and there was great cheer
ing by the admirers OF the Jerseyman.
Firpo Shot a beavy left to the face
just before the gong and the round
ended with b. lors even. Both started
roughing it at the beginning of the
second round McCann clinched and
Firpo gave him series of rabbit killer
punches.
McCann put a left to the body and
Firpo responded with staggering right
to the jaw. This was the hardest blow
Mccain had yet received and he rushed
to close quarters and traded punches
with the giant. Firpo had the better OF
the exchanges and earned the hcnors OF
the round.
Firpo's Knees Sag.
F'irpo opened the third round with a
solid left to the face, and quick as a
right. For few seconds the bull fighter
wavered, as his knees sagged and he
touched the floor. Scorning a count he
was up in a hurry and rushed furiously
at McCann. Firpo now was angry and
he unlocked a volley Of rights and lefts
that drove Mccain all about the ring
At the sound OF the bell McCan was
being battered from pillar to post. and
the gong was very welcome to him.
This was Firpo's round by wide
margin.
Mccain was plainly tired when he
answered the bell for the fourth round
Firpo lost no time in attacking his op-
ponent, sending fierce drives to the body
and face. McCann held on and the
referee was apparently afraid to sep
arate the fighters. This helped McCann
who rested himself as much as possible,
although Firpo ripped right into the
Jerseyman's ribs and in other ways
made it unpleasant for the local man.
On being pried away from the big fell
low. Firpo sent a heavy straight right ia
McCann's jaw and the latter held till
the bell.
1t was evident that McCann could not
stand the pace much longer, as he was
growing weaker every minute. He
wabbled as he came out for the fifth
round and he staggered under the inn
pact of two jolting rights to the jaw.
McCann hugged, and when he let go
F'irpo drove left to the face. Firpo
then pounded Mccain all over the ring
and finally dropped him with a heavy
right to the jaw. Mccain did not move
as the count progressed, but at six, the
| gong ended the round.
| 1t was clear that McCann could not
have lasted another round, and the
action of the officials In stopping the
contest at the close of the fifth showed
excellent Judgment.

BY CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

Luis Angel Firpo. heavyweight cham
pion of South America, bull fighter and
a man of Samsonian strength. who
stopped Joe Mccain, a rugged Jersey
man, in five rounds last night at the
Broad A. c., Newark, Is quite likely 10
face Jack Dempsey in the ring within
a year.
The Argentina giant Is not ready for a
title fight at the present time, but ne
showed qualities in his contest with Nc
Cam that presage a championship bate
in the not distant future. The man who
beat Mccain to a condition OF helpless
ness in five rounds is not only a power
full hitter, but he showed ability to take
solid thumps to the jaw and return TO
the fray with undiminished vitality and
courage.
He showed aggrcssIveness of the first
rank, and while his ring tactics can be
improved, he plainly showed the good
effects of three weeks of tuition by
Jimmy Deforest. the man who trained
Dempsey for the fight with Willard.
Firpo is a pugilistic diamond in the
rough. and when he has been smooflfed
and polished in ring procedure he is
apt to develop into as formidable a
fighter as the present champion.
Firpo n Giant.
Standing 6 feet inches tall AMI
weighing 220 pounds, the Argentinian IS
colossal figure. and he lowered above
Mccain, who is a six footsr and scales
199 pounds.
Firpo, swarthy of skin. with chick.
black curly hair on we'll shaped head,
and well cut features expressive of de-
termination. caused a gasp of astonish-
ment from the onlookers when he re-
moved his bath robe and prepared for
action. Mccain Is by no means pigmy
and he packs a heavy punch with his
right, but as he stood facing the South
American the Jerssymarf seemed like a
dwarf alongside giant.
McCann made a gallant effort in the
first round and landed with jolting effect
on the big chaps jaw. Ffrpo never lost
the serious look he wore when he frs,
climbed into the ring, and he soon
launched a whirling attack on his oppo-
nent that swept McCann Off his feet and
compelled him to clinch to save himself
from humiliation.
The fifth round was McCann's undo.

SHOOTING" HOUSES.
Use of Gun Latest Fad i'm Making Con-
crete Buildings

shooting houses out of a gun is
the startling latest wrinkle in concrete
construction. This radical method of
building dwellings in short order. not only
has proved successful in the first two
houses on which it was tried. but has
shown itself to have number of advan-
tages not possessed by other methods of
construction. The gun itself consists of
q noZZle-like affair at the end of q three

tainer and water forced through it. The
mixture is thus made at the last moment
before it is applied

this fashion, d Onesided framework of tar

around them.
In similar fashion, ceilings. floors. a
fence around the yard. and other parts of

The resulting house and yard was a COM

CROCKETT SPEAKS.
CONTINUED from Page H.

Mr.. Crockett spoke of the drafting of
the first constitution and of the election
of Thomas Chittenden as first governor !:
of the attempts to annex New Hampshire
and New York territory TO Vermont; of
the vote to annex Vermont east of the
| Green Mountains to New Hampshire the
resembling of the vote and the annexation
of New Hampshire towns to Vermont.
The speaker expressed the opinion that
the work of Ira Allen and Thomas Chit
tenden was not appreciated. adding that
if it had, not been for Ira Allen, the end
of whose life was tragic, there would have
been no state of Vermont, and said that
it was time Vermont paid honor to those
great men. He then told of the negotia-
tions whereby NeN York claims on Yer
mont were relinquished and Vermont be
came one of the first states after the orig
inaI Is.
He mentioned Vermont's part in the
Civil war: the raising of money, the
work of Fermonters in the army in va
riOuS battles and the cost in life to the
state during the war also the contribu-
ton in money and men. the preparation
that was made for the World war through
legislative action, paving high tribute to
Former Governor Horace +. Graham,
whom, he said, was one of the best gov
errors in Il critical time that Vermont
ever had; that while he was in Office he
did the things that ought to be done and
did them wisely and courageously.
Mr. Crockett then read the names of
10 men and women whom he said should
be included in the honor list of the state,
giving a brief sketch of the achievements
Of each. The list follows: Steven r.
Bradley, Isaac Tichenor, Rollin c. Nal
lory. Cornelius Z. VanNess, Horace Ever
EFT. William Slade, Samuel s. Phelps,
George Z. Marsh. Jacob COllamer. Solo
mon Foote. Luke Poland, Justin $. Nor
rilI George +. Edmunds, Edward j.
Phelps, Senator Redfeld Proctor. John
q. Sake. Roland Robinson. Julia c. II.
DOrr, Mrs Dorothy Garfield Fisher.
In closing he said: The Vermont of
tomorrow should appeal to us even more
than the Vermont of Yesterday. We must
remember the things that have gone be
fore if we are to make what we should
make of the state and meet and cope sue
cessfully with the problems, and it ought
TO be possible for Us and our children and
our childrens children to say 1 am a
Nermonter
. The first part of the meeting was de-
voted to business. An appropriation of 81
was voted toward the children's travel
ing library. 1t was stated that the can
