a fortune. Bunge, therefore, sent a
friend of his and of Firpo's to Amer
ica--Horatio Lavalle.
IAavalle, also a wealthy young man,
who has boxed as an amateur for the
love of the game. before his departure
worked out with Bunge a plan OF
campaign that included everything.
This plan was photographed and a
Bunge retained the other.
CnbIed Details Every Day.
Every day LavaIle cabled to Bunge
and told him everything that had oc-
CURED during the days training.
Bunge replied and gave additional
advice. A small fortune was spent In
cable tolls between these two men.
Bunge actually cabled Lavalle how
many rounds Firpo should box, how
many miles he should do on the road,
at what hour he should go TO bed and
at what hour he should arise.
These instructions were practically
followed to the letter by Firpo. Every
day a doctor took Firpo's pulse,
breathing, heart action in fact,
everything that should be examined
this information was cabled 10 Bunge.
Had il been possible / have no doubt
that instructions would have been
cahlAd TO the ringside during the
progress of the battle
II must be remembered that Lavalle
didn't speak word of English.
Therefore anything that he wished to
protest about during the progress Of
the fight would have TO be done
through an interpreter. In view OF
the shortness of rest between rounds,
the impossibility of this situation will
be realized.
Firpo took a cottage at Atlantic
City which was "A bit OF Argentina
transplanted in America. He had his
own chef, a Uruguayan, who had been
loaned TO him by the consul for Uru-
quay in New York. No English was
spoken at all in the little white cot
tage by the sea. Firpo maiesticaly
departed from his cottage to the
training quarters in his automobile,
accompanied by "aficianades" (faus).
His sparring partners were Jeff Clark
(the Joplin Ghose), young Bob Fftz-
simmons, Joe Mccain, Frank Koeble
and Natalie Pera, the latter a native
of Argentina. He boxed one round

TIRPO'S critics may say that his
= training methods were all

TIRPO'S critics may say that his
training methods were all
wrong. Possibly they were,
They certainly were unique, but it
is doubtful whether any other
methods would have suited him as
we'll as those he employed in con-
ditioning himself for his match with
Dempsey. That he was strong
there is no doubt. No one but a
man in perfect physical condition
could have gone down seven times
in one round, then got up and
knocked the champion clear through
the ropes of the ring.
1t was decided by Firpo and his
immediate friends in America and
Argentina that his camp would be an
all-Argentine affair. If Firpo won the
championship, then Argentina was to
get the full credit. Felix Bunge, a
millionaire Of Buenos Aires, and an
intimate friend of Firpo's, undertook
to guide him.
Firpo has explicit confidence in
Bunge. and whatever he says is law.
BunGe first taught Firpo how to use
his hands. and the South American

The league, hardly known outside

, successful season from every stand
point in it's history. There have been
comparatively few postponed or for

to the finish, regardless of it's stand
ing or chances in the race, and despite
the fact that the schedule is an un-
usually lengthy one, the bowlers are
keeping at it until May q.
The unusually satisfactory showing
of the league this season is due al
most solely to the efforts of its presi-
dent, Philip Otterback. The "Boss,"
as he is known, is an enthusiastic
bowler himself and can always be
found in the lineup whenever his
team takes the drives.
