 agerial Services

New York, Sept 25.--Luis Angel Firpo climbed from sl25 third -rater to a s125,oOO championship contender in year and half of pugilistic en- terprise in this country, according to papers filed yesterday in the suit brought by Andrew D. McCorkindale of Long Beach, New York, against the Argentine boxer for s54,206.24.
 McCorkindale, who obtained an at purse for his title battle with Jack Dempsey at the Polo Grounds re- gently. charges this amount is due him under an alleged contract with the South American, by the terms of which he was to receive 25 per cent of the fighters earning, plus $500 for expenses.
 fights here amounted to not less than s203,625, according to McCorkindale The Argentine, it is alleged, received $125 for his first fight in this country. with Sailor Maxted, and $125,000 for the Dempsey match. Illustrating the rapid rise in Firpo's drawing powers, the complaint points out that he re- ceived s1000 and s350O, respectively for knocking out Joe McCann and Italian Jack Herman, in 1922; 5000 for his victory over Bill Brennan last March; s15,000 for defeating Jack McAuliffe, 2d. in May, and s50,0 as his share of the spells at Boyle's Thirty Acres where he yapouished Jess Willard in July.

Villa Wins From Thomas
 In Disappointing Fight

Boston, Sept. 25.-Pancho Villa, worlds fiyweight champion, was given the decision over Tony Thomas of New Bedford in 10-round bout here last night. Villa weighed in at 112 pounds and Thomas at 114a.
 The bout was disappointing to sup porters of both boxers who had looked for rapid action. For the first four rounds Villa and Thomas con- tented themselves with sparring, ap- parently feeling each other out. Then the fyweight champion gave a dem onstration of boxing that was too much for the New Bedford boy. Villa won every round on points up to the tenth, according to ringside opinion. In the final round Thomas went after his opponent. landing three solid smashes and carrying off the honors of the round.

sSO,0OO A YEAR IS
 COST OF BASEbALLS
And This Includes Only the Two
 Major Leagues
lBy NEA Seryicel

New York, Sept. 25.-Expenses fol | baseballs have suddenly become big worry for major league magnates They will amount close to $S0,00t merely to supply base balls for the season of 1923 in both major leagues The fact that. in recent game al St. Louis 68 balls were used in game pitched by Dave Danforth against the New York club, was startling bit of news as to the number of balls often needed to complete ball game.
 No doubt the fact that Danforth's s pitching was under suspicion was the case of so many new balls being used in the game that he worked. Dan- forth is said to have requested that 12 balls eput out of play because of some defect
 Every major league game is started with three dozen new balls According to the umpires they are seldom able to finish game with that number. Which means that S6 or more new ball balls Te used in every big league con
 Of this number perhaps one-third are confiscated by the fans, when a foul ball is batted into the stands. The concrete stands are also the cause of many balls being rendered unfit for play. Contact with the stand often so roughens the ball that it is danger ous to continue it's use.
 However, the ever-suspicious batter seems to be the cause of more balls being thrown out than from any other source. If batter misses a swing, and particularly when he strikes out, he immediately requests that the umpire look at the ball for some defect which was responsible for his failure to knock the ball out of the lot
 The cost of supplying baseballs for major league gaines has reached staggering figure" remarks prom inent eastern club owner of the Ma tional league. Twenty years ago my ball bill for the season ran from s700 to 5000. Last season it was some- thing like s600O and this year it looks as if it might reach SS000.
 ''The baseball bill of expense for 1923 will run close to s40,000 in each major league. l venture to say that 20 years ago it was about one sixth of that amount in the National League"
