 RESULTS TODAY

NEW YORK. July 24.-(By Associ- ated Press )-Negotiations for a heavyweight title match between Jack Dempsey and Luis Angel Firpo, cloaked in mystery for the past 10 days, reached such a stage today that Promoter Tex Rickard declared he probably would have a definite an nouncement to make at o'clock to- morrow afternoon
 Just what this announcement would be the promoter declined to reveal. but there was every indication that the match would be clinched after a series of conferences during the day among Rickard. Firpo and Jack Kearns. the champions manager.
 This belief was strengthened by Richards statement that the princi- pals had reached a thorough agree ment about details. and that there seemed no necessity for another con- ference before sounding public senti- ment on the situation.
 The promoter indicated that the site and the date of the proposed match still were uncertain. but gen eral belief prevailed that he was en- deavoring to effect an agreement to use the polo grounds for the fight on or about Labor Day
 Pressed for the status of his recent proposal to put the match on in the Argentine, Firpo's native country, Rickard practically said he had aban- doned all idea of that project.
