Firpo's mother was an Argentine,

Firpo when he became old enough
to work turned his hands to various

was also bootblack, a longshoreman
and other things demanding laborious

Turning to boxing in 1917, he was
sent to sleep in his first bout, a

list OF knockouts which earned him
fame.
Eventually he came in contact with
Calvin Restress. a Spanish negro, who
had been one of Jack Johnson's re-

his great opportunity lay in the
United States.
After some scraping they collected
sufficient money for the steamship trip
to this country, and once here Firpo

Gibbons fought a fast and coura-

seemed to tire, and lasted until the
