SPALLA ALMOST GOES
ROUTE WITH FIRPO;
OUT in FOURTEENTH
Italian Furnishes "WId
Bull" But Celebrated
Right Gets Him.

Buenos Aires, March s-Luis Firpo
is still champion of South America
and contender for a return bout with
the world champion. Jack Dempsey.
last night the "Wild Bull of the
Pampas" turned back an invasion
from Italy by knocking out Erminio
Spalla in the fourteenth round of their
fifteen-round bout at the River Plate
football field. A scant 10000 persons
saw the fight.
The finishing blow. as in most Of
Firpo's victories, was a tremendous
right to the jaw. The Italian cham
pion was counted out one minute and
40 seconds after the start of the four
teenth round.
Spalla punished the Argentine bait
tier severely in the infighting, but
Firpo pursued his relentless campaign
to the ultimate result.
Firpo's poundage was announced az
PIG IL and Spalla's as 1874 II.
The Argentinean often was wild, so
intent was he in giving hi adversary
the Knockout blow.
During the early part of the fight
Firpo used his left. but with little
success. After the fifth round, when
Spalla took the offensive and fought
his best of the contest, Firpo used
his right almost exclusively.
In the tenth round, Firpo was stag
gered by Spalla with a right to the
jaw. The Argentine was knocked off
his balance. Spalla followed through
with left but slipped and fell, and
both men went down, with Spalla on
top.
In the eleventh, Firpo slammed
Spalla against the ropes with left.
The Italian. however, tightly clutched
the ropes with both hands, thus saving
himself from a fall.
Spalla put up remarkably game
fight against the Argentine During|
the latter rounds, when Firpo was
rushing, he successfully blocked many
hard rights. any one of which would
have sent hi mdown for the final
count
