The western universities, with their

The heavyweight situation in New
York is very much in the air just
now, and a lot depends upon whether
Firpo will stick TO- his decision to
retire from the ring and whether
Spalla and Romero -Rojas make good
when they come here.
Jack Dempsey's operation, it is
known now. put him out Of the box
Ing game for the summer and per
haps for the fall. The ordeal was q
bad shock to the champions system
and the reason he went into the
movies, where he is firmly tied for 4
long time, was because Kearns
realized il would be unsafe to put him
into the ring until he has fully
recovered.
For one thing. this cost Rickard y
probably lucrative bout between
Dempsey and Tommy Gibbons, and
il may cost him a big September
bout with the champion figuring, too
But as to this a great deal depends
upon how Dempsey rounds to amid
the glaring spot lamps of Hollywood
AS for Firpos reported retirement
this hits a string of boxers who had
been rugged up for bouts with THE
Wild Bull. including George GODFREY
Floyd Johnson, Soldier Jones, Tin
Herman, Charley Weinert, Jaclz

O'Clock In the morning! And this
after what he has told me was the
hardest battle of his career.
At about thet time that Ffrpo was
showing his friends the latest tango
steps, Brennan was rushed to the hos
pital. The doctors discovered that he
had IA fracture at the base of his brain
due to the blows he had received from
Firpo. Brennan hung between life
and death for several days, but for
tunately recovered. BY this time
Firpo was used to seeing his oppo-
nents go to the hospital. | saw Joe
Downey taken to the hospital after
an exhibition" with Firpo in In
dianapolis. Each time this happened
Firpo remarked that men didn't die
from boxing engagements. But this
Will be related later.
Firpo's next match was with Jack
McAuliffe of Detroit. He trained
every day, and long before the day of
the match arrived he was in perfect
condition. He probably was in the
best physical shape of his career for
this fight, and he created better i'm
preston that day than in any of his
previous or subsequent fights in this
country.
The, promoters anticipated his vic
tory over McAulifre long before he
met the Detroit heavyweight. He
was besieged daily at Madison Square
Garden gymnasium with offers OF
matches as soon as he had disposed
of McAuliffe. Firpo, who delighted In
matches. one in Cuba and the other in
Mexico City. He was to leave imme-
diately after he had defeated McAuliffe.
McAuliffe wasn't knocked out like
Firpo's other victims, who were felled
like oxen. McAuliffe was sent down
with left to the jaw. followed by a
terrific right, which finished him.
Willard who knocked out Floyd
Johnson that same afternoon. made il
a certainty that Firpo would have to
to meet Dempsey for the Champion
ship.
Immediately following this match
with McAuIfffe Firpo hung up his
gloves and became the business man.
ager of himself. He signed two con-
other 10 Mexico. Then followed a
long conference with Richard regard
ing the details of the Willard Firpo
match. At this conference Firpo
spoke as if he was pleading the case
of fighter he might be managing in
stead Of himself. He insisted that he
receive 2J per cent of the gross re-
cetpts, although RIckard couldn't give
him more than 20 per cent The con-
ference was adjourned without any
result and was resumed daily for sew
efal days afterward.
Every day different reports would
be published in the newspapers re-
garding the match. First it would
then 1t wouldn't take place. Finally
a compromise was reached and Ffrpo
agreed to take 2215 per cent of gross
receipts. AS a result of this piece of
business Firpo received the biggest
purse he had ever collected when he
fought Willard. 1t totalsd more than
$79. goo.
