BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September l5.-Jack
Dempsey's spectacular victory over
Luis Angel Firpo takes rank as one
of the shortest heavyweight title con-
tests in history.
Records covering the past thirty
years of major championship matches
reveal but one shorter bout, the one
round victory of Tommy Burns over
Bill Squires Of Australia at Colma,
Calf, July 4, 1907.
Three years prior to that James J.
ietfries, before his retirement had
lifted Burns to the title. knocked out
Tack Monroe in two rounds at San
Francisco.
Two years after he captured the
world title from John L. Sullivan in
1892. Jim Corbett stopped Charley
Mitchell in three rounds.
While Jess Willards towel was not
sossed into the ring at Toledo four
years ago until the start of the fourth
sound, Dempsey was credited with a
shree-round Knockout in gaining the
Championship.
Dempsey's first battle in defense of
bis title was q three-round knockout
over Billy AIiske at Benton Harbor.

me the thrill of my life.
"Frpo is one Of the best fighters

"Firpo is not done for yet. He will
be heard from again. He is a big,
young fellow and a terrific fighter.
! IT stand quite ready to match
Firpo against Dempsey again in an
other year. I would be quite pre-
pared to stage such bout next sum-
mer.
Moreover, am quite ready to

ARGENTINA STUNNED
BY FIRPO'S DEFEAT

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, September 15.-
The great Firpo was beaten by the
greater Dempsey.
This is the way last nights fight
for the heavyweight championship
of the world is epitomized here.
Although gloom pervades all Argen-
tina over the defeat of the country's
idol, expressions of pride are heard
on all sides for the magnificent battle
he fought and for the stout heart he
displayed.
"The next time say the Argen-
tinians, will be different. The next
time he'll win"
The defeat of Firpo was stun
ming disappointment to the tens of
thousands of people who thronged
the streets of Buenos Aires last
night, hopeful of receiving the news
that the Argentine fighter had won
for his country the championship OF
the world.
When it became known that Firpo
had lost groans were to be heard
among the crowds in front of the
bulletin boards. and some of the peo-
pie wept. Several vented their dis
appointment by throwing stones at
the large electric sign reading
Dempsey wins"
The streets leading to the newspa-
per offices where the bulletins were
displayed were jammed by the thick
ly packed crowds for a distance of
several blocks. Street car service
was deviated. Tie mounted police
had strenuous efforts in keeping
order.
Felix Bunge, the so-called mentor
of Firpo, apparently took the defeat
of his champion philosophically. The
best man won, that is all l can say"
Bunge declared.

The battle. in point of both at

only to the Dempsey-Carpentie spec
tacle two years ago at BoyIe's Thirty
Acres, Jersey City, where $4,000 paid
S1,G00,000 to see, the champion conquer
his French rival. The Willard -Firpo
fight at the same arena last July was
credited by, Rfckard with, attracting
close to 100000 but official figures
showed paid attendance of only
$4,000
Dempsey reaped with this triumph
the greatest fortune of his career. Re-
eeiving 3775 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts, his share, on the basis of esti-
mated receipts, would be about
s450.000, while Flrpo. with a 121s per
cent portion, would get $150,000. This
amount is nearly twice as much as
the Argentine received for knocking
out Jess willard

DEMPSEY ADMITS
FIRPO HAS WALLOP
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associate Press.
NEW YORK, September 15.--Jack
Dempsey admitted last night after
his victory over Luis Angel FirpO
that he never had received such a
socking in his life.
'I won as I thought 1 would" said
Jack, but I can truthfully say that
1 never had such a fight in all my
life. When he soclled me on the chin
in the first round. knocking me
through the ropes after had knock
ed him down, I thought my finish had
come.
Those who told me that Firpo
would be a soft mark certainly were
talking through their hats. After he
slammed me with that first right 1
knew that had fight on my hands.
Firpo is dangerous every second. l
hit him with everything I had, and
certainly was surprised when he con-
tinued to crawl off the floor.
He is game, and the hardest
puncher / ever faced. 1t was the
first time / was knocked down since
I became champion, and I'll never
forget it. I saw eight million stars
when 1 got that punch on the chin
that knocked me out of the ring"
Evening star., 1923-09-15

believe that I can accomplish the
task / so nearly finished last night.
Dempsey is a great champion of the
world. / am heart-broken, but not
ashamed to have been beaten by so
great a fighter. l am a little proud to
have come SO near to defeating him.
1 shall be greatly proud some day to
finish the work that could not finish
last night. I feel that l am beaten,
but not disgraced and l fell that in
time I will be entitled to a chance to
erase whatever of disgrace attaches
to my short but furious attempt of
last night to wrest the heavyweight
crown from the head of perhaps the
greatest fighter whoever wore 1t.
think, too, that any one who saw the
fight will agree that If 1 do win the
crown from Dempsey at some future
time 1t will not have passed into the
keeping of one unworthy to wear 1t.
Future Plans Undecided.
I go to Canada soon for a short au-
ttomobile trip. Then soon also to the
Argentine. My plans beyond that /
do not know. / fought and failed, but
1 am not ashamed. think that now
the critics of Luis Firpo can never
again say that he is not a fighter.
Luis Firpo took the blows of Dempsey
and then knocked the champion of
the world through the ropes. Remem-
ber that please. l have tasted the
bitter medicine OF. defeat, but l am
confident the time win come when
my palate shall Know the delight OF
