NEW YORK, Sept. 3.--Reports
that Charles A. Stoneham, under
indictment for perjury in connec.
ton with the affairs Of e. NJ.
Fuller & Co., was prepared to sell
his controlling interest in the New
York Baseball Club, were insistent
in the sporting world last night.
John J. McGraw. manager and
vice president, a regarded as
one of the most y. ely purchasers
Of the Giants, an agreement exist
ing between Stoneham and McGraw
which makes the sale of the club
contingent upon McGraw's APP
prevail.
Stoneham owns 81 per cent Of
the stock, which. 1t is understood.
he acquired from Harry Hampstead
in 1917 for $1,250.000. Improve
ments to the Polo Grounds. the in
creased prestige Of the team and
the purchase of leading players
since then. have caused the stock
to appreciate in value until now 1t
is said to be worth 100000.
Another report was circulated to-
day to the effect that Commissioners
K. M. Lands was prepared to ask
Stoneham to retire from the game
because Of the charges which have
been brought against the Giants

asserted itself against Saturday
night, when William Shields, trainer
for Kilmer and of Exterminator.
passed away in New York as the
result OF a heart @ttack.
Shields became identified with
the game more than thirty years
ago as a jockey. When his riding
days were over he took up the con.
ditioning Of thorouehbreds. and his
efforts were attended with great
success.
AS an assistant to Eugene Wey.
land, he succeeded to the latter's
position when Weyland passed
away last spring. The run of Ill
luck following the Kilrner estah-
lishment, and more especially Elk
terminationr. seems uncanny.
Exterminator went wrong after
the running Of the Pimlico Cup
last fall and has never fully re.
gained first-class condition. Worry
over Old Bones was In q measure
responsible for Weyland's sudden
passing. Now Shields follows his

experienced several different set
backs. and It was only the unswetv-
ing faith in himself which kept
Firpo fighting along, waiting for
the day to come when he could
get his big shot at the title.
All this time Carlos MRzola, an
other admirer of Firpo, staked him
to needed expense money.
Firpo's first training quarters
were in little shack which he
built just outside the brickvard
where he had worked. It was there
that Martinez taught him the rudi-
ments Of punching: It was there
that Martinez. by personal direc-
ton, or by means Of books on box
Ing. tutored Firpo in the elementary
principles Of the game.
And IL was there that Ffrpo
pounded . sand bag through many
long and dreary hours. took long
muscle building runs. went
through shadow boxing stunts and
other fight training features
while the neighborllOOd folks look
ed on and sometimes wondered
why the authorities permitted
him to roam at large.
Eventually Firpo was adjudged
ready for the fray and Martinez
sent him in against various anna
tours in the Buenos Aires district
Firpo, q slugger even in that early
area, soon attracted attention by
his ability to bowl over his op-
ponents. Finally he was acclaimed
amateur champion of the province.
This brings the hero to 1917 when
Johnson had passed from the
throne and Jess Willard had be
came the mark for Firpo.
And just about then Luis decided
that fighting amateurs might have
been all right before, but that he
was all through with it, and hence
forth would get himself many cash
dollars for his fistic efforts.
So he speared himself q match
with Angel Rodriguez, Of Uru.
quay, who was rated at the time
as the professional light heavy
weight champion Of South
America. The boys stepped into
the ring on January IL, 1918,
and began throwing punches at
each Other-but not for long,
Almost before he knew what it
was all about, Firpo found the
world full Of boxing gloves and
the echo OF the first bell hardly
had died away before Firpo was
stretched upon the canvass by the
Rodriguez fusillade-and was count
ed out.
Defeat via the knockout route
did not discourage Firpo, and about

DR.. Reilly is quoted as saying:
"The man is a combination
Patagonian giant and Genoese
wild man. Like his progenitors,
who were some of the most
famous of Italian vcndettists, he
has the ability to curb his
strength and his passions and to
disguise his feelings until the
proper moment for action has
arrived.
"As you see him now in his
training work he may be COM

Of some years ago, who waited,
prepared, planned and pondered
for the great deed to be done.
When you see him against Demp-
sey he will be the vendettist
striking, and the vendettist al
ways strikes decisively."
At another time this same DR..
Juan Reilly described Firpo as

he can break a mans back with
almost no effort"
