Jimmy in Favor of LavaIIe
of. BuenoS Aires.

Members of the Luis Firpo staff
won't say definitely whether Jimmy
De Forrest of New York will act as
Firpo's trainer for the Dempsey title
match Sept. IA, but opinion in local
boxing circles points toward a new
chief trainer for the South American.
De Forrest trained Firpo for the
Willard bout and did a good job of
it. but it is said pressure has been
brought by South American sports
men to have Luis handled by train
er from his own country.
Hortio Lavalle of Buenos Aires is
due to arrive in New York Aug. 10
and it is said he is the trainer chosen
to take the place Of De Forrest.
Firpo planned another workout at
the Hoosier Athletic Club this after
noon. He worked there Monday and
appeared in fine trim and all set to
punch Joe Downey's ears down at the

Gentle Out of Ring
Knowing Firpos methods in the

knows hardly any ring craft but
brute strength and fight, fight. fight
it is hard to reconcile his gentleness
while out Of the squared circle.
Firpo seems anxious to please and
has that really true courtesy which is
respect for others feelings.
There is a certain pathetic touch
about the huge fighter 1t is hard to
explain just what. 1t is probably the
somber expression about his eyes, but
it is very doubtful If anyone should
worry much about Firpo. He surely
does not seem to be of the worrying
kind. 1t is a fine world and the
money is coming in fast for Luis.
Firpo is one of those happen-sos, in

Firpo knows the achievements Of
every heavyweight past and present.
This fighting business is quite hob

1t is not strange that he did not
join in the conversation. as he does
not speak English. 1t is therefore not
so strange that he did not seem to be
interested. On two or three occasions
when he caught phrase he could
understand his eyes would fash ana
he would ask his manager just W t
was being said.
But the impression, after all, that
Firpo creates is one of detachment
from his surroundings. He is ex-
tremely quiet and the look in his
eyes seems to be of far-away things.

his thoughts iced away in the
