RICHARD BANGLES TITLE
BAIT BEFORE LUIS F|RPO

NEW YORK, January Barometer
Tex Richard today cabled Luis Firpo,
South American heavyweight boxing
champion, an offer for q match with
either Floyd Johnson of Iowa or Bill
Brennan of Chicago, to be held about
the middle of March at Madison Square
Garden Rickard promised the Ar
gentine pugilist q title bout with
Jack Dempsey within six months If he
energies the victor in this contest.
Because of his clean-cut victory
over Brennan last night. Johnson is
regarded as logical opponent for the
South American. 1t is within the
Firpo may take on both Brennan and
Johnson before getting his chance at
Dempsey.
Ffrpo is expected to reach this coun-
try about the first of February. He
cabled Richard several weeks ago
that he was ready to return at any
time to fight. The South American is
declared to have developed rapidly
since his brief appearance in this
country early MSt year, when he
knocked out several second and third
rate heavyweights. His form then
was crude and awkward but he dis
played a terrific punch and ability. to
learn the finer points OF the ring
game.
Negotiations for Willard-Dempsey
match, Richard said. were at stand
still pending the arrival of the cham
pion's manager, Jack Kearns. from
the Pacific coast. 1t was understood.

Just now the public is not in g
mood of enthusiasm over the idea of
meeting between Jack and Jess.
This was made clear to the writer,
who has mingled in the crowd upon
several occasions this week when
Willard was introduced to the fans.
Cheer and Jeer willard.
They cteered him. hut their com
ments were not indicative of any
general belief that he would have a
chance against Dempsey.

think he beads imp
HE hasn't fought in four years. and
now he expects to blow into II e
game and meet Dempsey! Nothing

wonder where he gets his hair

These and other remarks and com
hears among the crowd when Willard
exhibits himself TO the public. TEey
are straws that show which way the
wind blows
Jess would have to overcome this
attitude before he would stack up as
a real drawing card On the other
hand. he is tempting morsel for
Tex Richard, because Jess does not
demand q great deal of money for
stepping into the ring against the
CitIenOider.
"Jess wants to justify himself be-
fore the public" said Richard, land
wants to hand Jack the sort OF stuff
that Dempsey gave him at Toledo. He
has got plenty OF money all soaked
away and giving him a fat Income.
That is the reason he isn't Interested
n indulgine in building-up fights"
In the end. If Jess is sincere he may
take on some good heavyweight. 1t
is difficult to see how he can bolster
himself up merely by showing in
training that he has stamina and en-
durance.
May Never Fight willis.
AS for Harry Wills, Dempsey has
signed to meet the negro. and the
New York boxing commission can en-
force that agreement. Whether it
will want to or not is a problem.
Jersey has been named as a possible
place for the bout, but when it comes
down to cases the promoters are
likely to find that the bout is not
wanted in that state. The chances
are that no state will want it. Mixed
routs of world wide interest are

BECKETT AND DEMPSEY
MEET HERE NEXT MAY

LONDON, January 13.-Joe Beckett,
heavyweight champion of Europe, ex-
poets to sail for America next May to
meet Jack Dempsey for the world s
title. Joe, who is training at South
ampton for his bout with Dick Smith on
January 20. admitted today that he had
agreed to his end of the Dempsey ar
rangement, but that i'm order for him
to go through with it there were a few
conditions to be met.
Joe explained that one of these condi-
lions was that he should demolish
Smith, and the other that he beat Car
pentier in their bout scheduled for Lon
don on May IA. Otherwise the bout is
practically assured, as Dempsey would
not be averse to clipping the big Briton
on his fragile chin.
1t was learned that Tom ORourke,
the New York matchmaker, has signed
Beckett to his conditional contract to
box Dempsey. Just when and where
the bout will be staged, provided Demp-
sey can get enough money out Of 1t to
make it worth while, has not been de-
cided upon. These details will be at
tended to If Beckett gets past Smith
and Carpenter. which he is confident
he will accomplish.

He would lose interest in the game at
once. He wants to get out on the course
and play it just as it happens. If he is
bunkered, all right. That is part of the
game. He wouldn't stop and study out
shot to try to keep from being bun
kered if he never played another game,
because that would be hard work.
1t isn't likely that he gives as much
attention to his golf as he did to try
ing to master curves and change of
pace, but that was bread nd butter
to him and he absolutely refuses to
play golf that way. He gets in and
shoots the very best that he can and
he accepts the outcome of the shot
with perfect eouanimity whether he
lands on the green or hits the ball
into the rough. If he played golf with
any seriousness he might be cham
pion of some kind.
