SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y. Aug
1s.-Tex Richard. who is promoting
the championship battle between Jack
Dempsey and Luis Firpo. Is of the
opinion hat the South American has
an even chance with Dempsey and so
expressed himself-in the hearing of
Dempsey-on his arrival here.
In the course OF a conversation on
the coming scrap Richard gave vent
to this expression:
why. I think that Firpo is an
even money chance with Dempsey.
He is a big strong fellow who has
learned a lot. He has a better record
than Harry Wills. He has been going
along fighting regularly while Demp-
sey has been loafing.
why, there is a chanc that he
will make Dempsey blow up IL Jack
can't nail him quickly
And then as Dempsey had strolled
into the group and listening to the
remarks OF the promoter, he con-
tinued:

Firpo finally gave up the quest for
Druley and started back to New York.
Before leaving Garland threatened &c
bring suit against Mayor Lew Shank
who said he would give Firpo and
Downey a ride in the police patrol II
the fight didn't go on. despite Firpo's
failure to get his money.
