F|RPO AND GIRL ARE

Famous Fighter and Secretary
Denied Admission Pending

NEW YORK, July 22.-Louis An

pas" and dark-eyed Spanish
beauty, Sonora Birance Lurdes, of
ficially known as his stenographer,
were held at Ellis Island Monday by
immigration officials on a technical
charge of insufficient vises.
Firpo arrived here Monday to
train for his fight with Harry Wills,
negro heavyweight, in Jersey City.
in September.
Sonora Lurdes--a woman of mys-
tery-Firpo, and other of the Firpo
menage, were taken off the Pan
American liner American Legion
and held at the Island.
Both the stalwart Firpo and his
chic, fetching black-haired compan'
ion were dismayed when detained.
Firpo protested in his poor English,
to no avail.
The pair were held on information
by immigration officials
from Buenos Aires and also from
the crew of the American Legion.
Some passengers said Sonora Lur-
des didn't do a bit of stenographic
work on the way to New York.
Sonora Lurdes' black eyes snapped
and she was very flustered through
the three hours of questioning. Sac
said she was employed as secretary
to the man who almost knocked oct
Jack Dempsey, for the trip up and
was going back to the land Of palm
trees as soon as her services were no
longer needed.
With Firpo and Sonora Lurdes
were held MIGUEL Ferrara, sparring
partner, and Eduado Carbone, man.
Rger of the powerful South Ameri-
can fighter, who not long ago almost
won the championship of che world,
Firpo earlier told newspaper men
he would defeat Harry Wills. 81 an,
the "Bull'' said "But /
never saw Wills in the ring and ]
don't want to boast"
Glow about another go with Dem
psey?" !.
I'VE won't talk about a fight with
Dempsey until the Wills matter is
