Luis Angel Firpo in a blind alley or
In an open door to fame and great
wealth. when the South American
meets Jack Dempsey at the Polo
Grounds in a fight for the world s
heavyweight championship.
Only Firpo and few Of his loyal
countrymen who set out in a strange
way on their strange mission believe
this morning they had not reached the
end of their trail.
The preponderance Of opinion, sport
and casual, painted for Ffrpo a posi-
ton on his back where he would gaze
at the night skies and see his ambition
going up with the wisps Of smoke
from a monstrous crowd of spectators.
Jack Dempsey, smaller and less
strong, but greater in experience,
speed and technique and better two
handed hitter, was a to / favorite
in the betting to retain his title as
the best fighter in the world to knock
out his challenger.
Traditions Upset
F1irpo has attempted to upset all
ring tradition by training as no other
aspirant for the championship trained.
and fighting as no other warrior since
the days of clubs and stones has
fought.
Because skill in his profession and
the ability to get the most out Of hui
man resources are counted as an over
whelming handicap against crude
strength and antique methods, Demp-

ceding the battle was the controversy

Football Weather
Gray, low hanging clouds and
