Buenos, Aires, March 8.-The at
mosphere of international rivalry sur
rounding the bout between Luis Fipro
and Erminio Spalla, the Italian heavy
weight, Friday night, became inten-
sified today, due to receipt by Spalla
of cablegram from Benito Mussolini,
the Italian premier. telling Spalla to
keep the Italian colors aloft,' and
another message from the Italian box
ing federation encouraging him to vic
tory.
Both Firpo and Spalla ended their
hard training today. The sporting
writer's think Spalla lacks sufficient
punch TO hurt Firpo seriously.
Firpo outweighs the Italian by
about 33 pounds and has longer
reach.
Firpo. nevertheless. is taking this
fight more seriously than he did that
with Farmer" Lodge and has been
training intensively.
Spalla announced that unless he was
unexpectedly disappointed he would
proceed to the United States and seek
matches with Renault, Wills and
