Firpo to Sign No
More Contracts
Until Word Richard

Bouenos Aaires. Jan. 30-Luis An
gel Tirpo has received a cablegram
from Tex Richard advising him not
to sign n contract with any other
promoter until he has had further
negotiations with Richard.
Firpo asserted that in view Of his
acceptance of the offer of Lewis Ray
mond for fight with Harry Wills
there was nothing he could say in
reply to Richard unless the Raymond
negotiations should fall through.
"Eut | don't think they WILL" Fir
pc added. BY this ne apparently
meant that he did not know whether
the syndicate Raymond represents
had definitely signed Wills.
1t was said today that the state
ment of Hugh Garland, Firpos re-
presenttive in the United States who
is now in Buenos Aires. TO the effect
that the syndicate had deposited $780,
600 as 4 guarantee. was premature.
This was one of the conditions under
which Firpo accepted the contract
and he expects to receive word soon
that the money either has been cab
led or is on deposit in New York to
Firpo's account.

somewhat changed in basketball this

Baseball Efficiency
Am. Hockeyists Helps
in Olympic Games

Chamonix, France, Jan. 10.
Baseball efficiency in the two men
who so far have tended goal for
the American Olympic hockey team.
has proved TO be of great value In
stopping the peculiarly twisting
shots of the European forwards.
Both Alphonse A. Lacroix and John
A. Langley. the Bostonians. are pro-
fcient in smothering hot grounders
on the diamond. and az the Euro
pean forward generally Is unable to
raise the puck waist high. 90 per
cent of the shots which the Beiglans
took at the American cage were OF
the twisting hopping variety. Lang
ley and Lacrofx dropped their sticks
and made fast pick-ups in the exc
cution of which their baseball train
ing stood them in good stead.
This seems like playing third base
on the fourth of July--if II weren't
for the weather. said Lacroix after
the game.

South and Central America, where
