Luis FirpO
Only Title
Contender

NEW YORK. April 3-where the
path leads for Luis F1rpo. tho
Argentine giant depends largely on
where Luis chooses to turn his steps,
Ffrpo has more natural fighting
ability and he Is tho best prospect
OF any OF the young heavywoights
who have como to tho front since
Dempsey got his start
Firpo has everything promising,
but ho has one OF the Latin ,empera-
ments that may spoil what looks like
sure fame and fortune for him.
Because some OF his fellow coun-
trymcn In South America warned
him 10 beware OF scheming Ameri-
cans, Firpo Is suspicious OF every
one. He looks upon all who approach
him IA connivers who arc out 10 do
him harm.
Even with Jimmy Dc Forest, who
trained him for few weeks when he
first came 10 this country and who
handed him in the Brennan fight.
he Ia restrained and wary and II does
not permit him to get the full value
out tho excellent education that DE
Forest Is capable OF giving him.
AZ an example OF the peculiar type
OF pupil that Firpo is. De Forest
tells the story that when he WINS
working with him last year. one of
ffrpo's friends went to him and told
him that DE Forest was Dempsey s
trainer and that Jimmy would teach
him wrong. 30 that Dempsey could
beat him. Flrpo became suspicious
and quit De Forest
II no continues TO suspect every
one he will make the way harder,
altho II might not necessarily keep
him from winning the title. DE For

country who knows enough TO make
great fighter out Of the South

Nearly all OF the veterans who
have looked over the South American

The most impressive things about
Firpo are his ability to take punish

power. lie also has great fighting
hoart--and little else Is needed.
F1rpo must learn TO box little.
but that Ia only minor detail. His
left hand also needs attention. but
that also can come with training.
II seems now that Dempsey has
only two men as real contenders for
the title--.Firpo and Harry Wills.
Perhaps Wills Is only prominent
contender because no has been edvcr-
tiscd as one and everyone thinks NO.
Many competent Judges of boxing
have expressed the opinion that Wills
couldn't NO three rounds with the
