bett in fact, all of them. Ffrpo listen
ed. 1t is one the things he does best.
The end of these discourses invariably
found Firpo unimpressed and the
managers would depart. They re-
turned and persisted in their en-
deavors, but Firpo remained his own
manager. Frequently he would dis
cuss the question of managers with
his friends.

mons, Johnson, Corbett, Jeffries and
others, but none of these men nave
fortunes today because of the efforts
of their managers. FitZsimmons died
practically penniless, Johnson is the
leader of a jazz band, Corbett is on
the stage and Jeffries is bankrupt.
When Luis Angel Firpo retires he

the bank to keep him In comfort for
the rest of his days"
When not in training Ffrpo likes to
talking about boxers and their work,
not only in tho heavyweight class,
but in all classes. His apartment is
filled with photographs of boxers and
clippings describing some of their
best fights. He likes his friends to
tires of reading the papers from his
own country. He discusses every
thing in them, all the leading politi-
cal questions in which he is interest
ed. and points with great pride to
pictures of notables in the papers
whom he has personally met.
Outside of these things, Firpo takes
no other amusement. He never goes
to the theater, not because he doesn't
understand English, but not even when
he Is in Buenos Aires. He never goes
to moving pictures but enjoys talking
about the moving picture industry, be-
cause he believes that a day is COM
ing, not far distant. when he will be
as we'll known as an actor as he is a
pugilist. Like many of US, Firpo be-
lieves he shines in practically every
profession but the one in which he
really does shine-pugilism.

PADDLERS TRAINING
FOR OLYMPIC TESTS

PaddIers of the Potomac Boat Club
and the Washington Canoe Club who
aspire to represent Washington in
the Olympic aquatic sports, have
begun work in earnest on the Potomac
river
While the Washington Canoe Club
has definitely decided to be repre-
scented in the Olympics at its own
expense, the Potomac Boat Club
hopes to figure In the Olympic divi-
sional trials, which probably viii be
held here the latter part of May
Should the Potomacs succeed in the
divisional try-outs, they must match
their strength against the winners of
other divisional meets, representing
cities as far distant as Chicago and
Boston.
Under the direction of Coach Chuck
Eaton, the Potomacs are gradually
ironing out their winter kinks.
Members of the club are aiding in
the campaign to raise $500, which is
the quota assigned to the local
division of the American Canoe AS
ISOLATION for the fund of $4,000 neces-
sary to send over crew of eight
men.
A canoeists' Olympic fund dance
will be held at the Raleigh Hotel on
Saturday, May 3.

Sudden Acquisition,
of Riches Failed
to Change Him.
CHAPTER v.

THE sudden acquisition oil
wealth did not change Firpo
TO any great extent. With
the exception of buying an auto
mobile, Firpo practically led the
same life as he did when he did not
know where his next meal was conf
ing from. If anything, he became
shrewder. He realized what his
name was worth to promoter and
he acted accordingly.
Firpo has attracted almost as much
attention as a business man as ne
has as a boxer. That he was re-
markable business man there is no
doubt. but he has frequently demon
strated that he was not the great
business expert that he has been
given credit for.
For Instance, ii was not until he
fought Willard that Firpo would con-
slider a percentage basis. He pre-
ferred to fight for a fiat guarantee.
1t took months to convinc" him that
he would receive a far larger sum
of money by lighting on percentage
basis rather than receiving a nat
guarantee.
Irirpo cannot be entirely blamed
for this Other men have shown sim
liar lack OF foresight The best IL
lustration in this respect is when
Jack Kearns took a guarantee of
5000. 900 for Dempsey to fight Car
pentier and refused to fight on a per-
centage basis. Had kearns accepted
che percentage offered him for that
match he would have received nearly
double his guarantee.
When Firpo learned the value of
percentage, and he was quick TO
learn, he endeavored to obtain both
guarantee and a percentage In
many cases he was able to do this.
Is lit to be wondered at that Firpo to-
day looks on offers of 100000 with
Indifference and wonders whether a
percentage wouldn't bring him twice
that amount?
Have prize fighters sense Of hu-
NOR? Many of them have, but Firpo's

the statute books some discrimina-
tory war excise taxes, which con-
stitute a special burden on certain
industries and their customers. That
these are war emergency measures
is evidenced by the repeal of many
similar taxes in the past four years.
Among those remaining are the
automobile taxes. Congress in its
last session recognized the unfair
ness of those special levies by Civ
ing some relief on parts and acces-
sories and low-priced motor trucks,
but has given none on the remain
ing trucks and passenger cars. This
burden rests on the owners of 49,
900, 900 motor vehicles in the United
States, one-third of whom are farm
ers, and as many more Of whom
are industrial workers, small mer-
chants and others of moderate in
come.
I'VE believe that this will appeal
to your judgment as an unfair CON
dition and we hope that when tax
reform again comes before Congress
you will urge elimination Of all these
war measures"
