FIRPO IS HOPEFUL
 OF GETTING FIGHTS
Expects To Bc Matched With Either Gibbons or Rcnault, He Says
 In France.

Paris, Doc. 2i,-Lnis Firpo, who is yearning for another chance al Jack Dempsey's crown, expects to be matched with either Tom Gibbons or Jack Rcnault for fight at Madison Square Garden in April, he told the French sports writers upon his ar rival here.
 Questioned about Quintin Rojas, who was recently given tho south American heavyweight title because of Firpo's failure to meet him, the Argentine said his rival was "a third rater"
 "lt amuses me when the South American boxing commission, which is hardly an official body, gives him the title champion of south Amer iCa," l'irpo added If he uses the title in Buenos Aires, everybody will laugh at him"
 "The fight which left me the most regrets he told the sporting paper I'AutO, was the one with Dempsey. Just think-I knocked him out of the ring fin the first round, which he finished groggy, and you might almost say he was saved by the gong , Alas, in the second he came up as fresh as ever, and I lost.
 If meet him again-and have every reason to believe I shall do so in 1926, if l beat Gibbons-I hope to have better luck. although Demp- scy is terrible opponent"
 AS to the European champion, Erminio Spalla, whom Firpo knock cd out in the 14th round at Buonos Aires last March, he said: If I had
 been in better condition would
 have beaten him quickly. But my automobiles were running that day
 in the Argentine Grand Prix and | was so occupied with the trials and ! the race that I had not though: much about the fight" In Firpo's opinion the four lead
 ing hHavyweights in order of pre-
 cedcnco arc; Dempsey. Wills, Gib- i hons and Renault.

Everett Scott, frail shorts op Of the New York Americans, has played l241 consecutive games. He started his "iron-man" stunt June 70, 1916, and is still at it.
 No position on inc ball field is more dangerous to play than that of shortstop, This, coupled with the fact that Scott is far from husky, makes his endurance record all the more remarkable.
 Here are 10 reasons why Everett Scott has been able to hang up 6 record for endurance. that will probably stand, even after Babe Ruth's 50 homers in one season has passed out Of the picture;
 1. Takes great care of his physi- cal condition. Follows training rules mode like college player than d professional athlete.
 ;. Never hurrics himself in the spring Conditions himself slowly regardless of how well his rivals for the position are showing.
 '. Makes careful study of his batters, figures no two aikr, cn- ablng him to make plays easily that otherwise might call for d toolhardy effort.
 i, Never fore his arm except in the pinch. Times his runners so that h. throws tho fast and slow ones out by inc same margin.
 3, Has mado careful study ol touching runners. This is the most dangerous Of all plays on the bal h"ld and no player is called upon 10 make il more often than the short sloD. Watches the runner closely and, being familiar with his man rcrisms, positions himself according ly in making the touch. also taking Into consideration the direction Of 1 the throw.
 | G. Gcls the signal for c>cry pitch and then tries 10 figure what he will do in advance. Says this is most important and saves many a "bonchral play"
 I. I1orsu't believe in fIssing witt, the umplres unless he has rpul grlcvanc", Then expresses his objections in way that results in tHe umpire giving him much con. Eldtratlon rather than pointing tc tho CAIt sign.

This whole situation presents serious aspect here

that may it is the business OF land owners to
negotiate only with whites for the leasing of their
lands.
The fact that much Of the best land has been con-

less critical than il might otherwise be. This land is so
choice that 1t should be difficult to find white rent

to have those who work the farms own the farms
That is the great objective toward which all efforts
