About Fights

BY LEO II. LASSEN

sport writer's are almost
unanimous in thinking that
Luis Angel Firpo is fighting
himself out of a return go
with Jack Dempsey and that
unless the giant Argentine
puts AL ReiSch away quickly
when they fight soon he
won't be considered for a re-
turn so with the champion,
Can ii be that Fnpo IS suf-
fering from the effects OF
the terrific beating Dempsey
handed him in New York
last summer?
Georges CarpcHtlor never recov'

 in August

New York, June 24.--Negotiation for l5-round match between Luis Angel l'irpo, Argentine heavyweight. and Harry Wills, 220-pound negro, which have been pending for the last two months bore fruit today when Tex Rickard, promoter of the match, announced the receipt Of d cable from Firpo definitely accepting the promotrc's final terms.
 The heayyweights have agreed 10 meet on a percentage basis some- time during the latter part of August, the exact time and place 10 be an- nounced by Rickard after the demo- cratic convention. It is likely, how ever that the match will be taken across the Hudson. to New Jersey and staged in Richards arena on Boyle's thirty acres. F'irpo's demands that if be held after August 20' prompted the promoter to coneedc this point to the Wild Bull of the Pampas."
 Final terms were cablcd to Firpo on Saturday and his acceptance received today after Rickard had agreed to a few minor changes in the contract. ltlrpo said he would sign the contract
