viado ell siguiente artfculo, que publ
camos complacidos, por considerable de
interes para nuestros lectores, puesto
que revela ciertos pormenores ignora-
dos hasta hoy, respecto a las negocia-

y ell conocido promoter Tex Rickard:
Las informaciones telegraficas de
estos Iltimos dfas-dice el sefior Wild

A fines dc julio del afio pasado, epo-
ca en- que Sc celebro la memorable
conferencia entire Firpo y Rickard, que

compeier a Firpo efectuar el match
por Ell campeonato mundial en- la 6po-
ca en- que, efectivamente Sc realizo,
en- virtud del contrato que Firpo habia
firmado, y que transcribo mas abajo,
Rickard ofreci6 a Firpo una pelea con
Harry Wills, realizarse en- Nueva
York, posterior al match de Dempsey,
por la suma de 500 900 d6lares 81 Fir
po CANADA Ell campeonato mundial, y
200. 900 en- el case contrario. F1rpo
rechazo la propuesta ofreciendo hacer
la pelea en- Buenos Aires, y como re-
sultado de numerosas Conversations,
Rickard accedio las pretensiones de
Firpo, ofreci6ndole 400 900 d6lares 81
Firpo era campe6n mundial y 100 900
81 era derrotado por Dempsey Puestos
de acuerdo, ell campe6n sudamericano
concedi6 al promoter tres dias de pla-
20 para conseguir la frma de Wills,
cosa que Rickard no logr6.
Ell pugil de color no guerra disputar
match alguno en- esta. parte del CONT

ira reglamentaci6n de box. Pretendia
que La pelea Sc concertase en- Ell Esta-
