Governor Of Missouri Stops
Firpo-Cowler Go Set
for Monday.
CAN'T PUT OVER X. o.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 4.-Luis Angel
Firpo, giant of the Argentine. defeated
Homer Smith of Kalamazoo, Michigan,
in a ten-round bout here last night,
gaining the referees decision. 1t was
the first time in the South Americans
career that he was forced to win via
the decision route. All his battles
previously had been comparatively
easy victories by knockouts.
Firpo knocked and battered Smith
all about the arena with hard rights
and uppercuts. Smith, although sent
spinning TO the canvas for a count of
nine for no less than sixteen times,
managed to stand off the anxious
Firpo by clinching and lodging. Oc-
casionally he shot long rights to the
Argentine's face but they lacked the
punch. At no time during the fight
did Firpo show any signs OF distress.
While newspaper men Mt the ring
side declared that Firpo had won the
bout with little or no effort there was
a general opinion that he showed a
lack of ring generalship by not being
able TO corner the elusive Smith and
land a knockout blow. The general
oninion expressed by fight fans and
sport writer's, who have had occasion
| to watch Dempsey in action, was that
Firpo would have to improve consld-
erably before having a chance against
| the Utah matler. ,
Firpo's share of the purse totalled
$4,000. plus 40 per cent of the gate
receipts. Approximately 5000 persons
viewed the match. Prices ranged from
50 TO $3.50.

THE Mexican commissioners convey
the sympathy of the Mexican people

diplomatic relations between the two
governments upon basis Of per-
manency which would be just to both
governments.'

ing message 10 the American neople ::

Ruler Of Italy Is a Busy
Man and He Is Wedding
Out Inequalities in His
Nation.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright by the San Antonio Light
Rome, Aug. 4.-Mussolini, the man
who could have overthrown the king
and made himself supreme in Italy,
but who chose instead the role OF
benevolent autocrat with the parlia-
mentary backing, is without doubt to-
day the most talked-about, if not the
most striking, personality among the
statesmen of Europe.
There is something Rooseveltian:
something Napoleonic, indeed much OF
the superman in Mussolini. His hold
on the italian masses is almost that
of saint. Not long ago when the
people of Sicily were praying that
the eruption of Etna should cease,
Mussolini arrived on the scene and the
very day he reached there the volcano
happened to subside, but the peGsantry
attributes the miracle to Mussolini.
That is an example of the fantastic
powers credited TO his mystic genius.
He Is q Busy Man.
The premier is the busiest man in
Italy. To grant ANYBODY an inter
view in these hectic days of recon
struction means to give up precious
time from a thousand and one prob
lens pressing for his attention, be-
cnuse he retains in his own hands the
of two cabinet portto-
lios as well us the presidency of the
cabinet. But the word America" has
magic power in Europe today. IT is

of bureaucracy almost everywhere.
