GOOD THING LUIS
KNOWS VALUE OF :
YANK PUBLICITY
He's Been Termed Bull, Dray
Horse and Gorilla, but
Holds Temper,
By HENRY FARRELL,
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. g.
fore he is to enter the ring with
Jack Dempsey to decide the heavy
weight championship of the world,
Luis Firpo looks ready and seems
willing to go. The usual manifes-
tations Of nerves which get most fight
ers as they approach the day Of the
big fight are not apparent in the
big Argentine.
Ffrpo still insists, when pressed for
an opinion about his chances. that
he is sure he is going to win, and
he bears out that attitude of supreme
confidence in every act. He is taking
his work most seriously and is hav.
ing fun along with the tedium Of
training in reading the things being
written about him.
Firpo has been called the wild bull
of the Pampas' for a long time.
Lately he has been termed a gorilla.
Others have found in him the modern
versions of the mastadon ana today
two turfmen found in him the idea
of a dray horse.
Firpo does not mind what they cali
him as long as reflection is not made
on his blood. He follows all the
papers. The business side Of the
South American asserts itself when
he is inclined to get peeved, and he
figures that az long as he is N print
he is getting some place.

The conditions of the contest ex-
clude the semi-pros, and for this rea-
son the good amateurs have a. better
chance than ever. If there are any
who are passing up this chance it is
pity The winning player will be
looked over by big league scouts in
the Cleveland competition on Oct /.
Perhaps some lucky sandlotreru will
be signed to league contracts. At any
rate, 1t means a trip to the Ohio city
at the expense of The Times. NEA

land arrangements, promises a fine
time in that city. Thes national win
ner goes to the worlds series free
