A Fantasy in Pesos.

"HIS time, however, Senor Firpo
seems to be very much in
earnest. For the moment he
has given up poultry farming and the
auto sales racket entirely. His agent
reports that the senior has become
so tough and sinister that he frightenS
himself.
"Firpo now is living like an early
man in the forest" writes Don Juan
Mackenzie, "and is under severe
training in boxing, punching ball,
etc. and does plenty of wood
cutting"
It's hard to say just why the senior
wants to come back. Ten years ago
he left this country with a sound con-
Stitution, a tremendous reputation,
and $4,000 in his kick. All the way
home he amused himself by computing
dollars and pesos on paper. He loved
pesos, and he figured he would have
enough of them to paper the walls and
ceilings of his new automobile agency
in Buenos Aires several times over.
Aside from the peso angle, Senor
Firpo has no reason to care for the
United States. The deals he received
here we're many and raw. Fight man
ayers always were urging him to cut
himself up and give them each piece
The senior, with visions of an undi-
vided peso swimming in his head, re-
fused to do this, but he was subjected
to no little annoyance by these per-
centage men just the same

PampaS PuIverizer, Looking
to U. S. Invasion, Talks
and Acts Tough.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

VI VIEW YORK, October 12.-This
country is threatened once
more with an invasion by
Luis Angel Firpo, the bottle
washer and small-time smuggler who
became South Americas most success
tul heavyweight. Senor Firpo isn't
ready to slap down Max Baer just yet,
but in few more months, when his
condition has been pronounced ade-
uuate by the combined physicians Of
the Argentine, he plans to begin eat
ing kippered Baer for breakfast every
morning.
The Pampas pulverizer is working
out in a forest camp near Buenos
Aires. He weighs a bare 2l6 pounds,
which means that good deal OF
PampaS flesh has been peeled oil his
body. To all appearances he is the
same old Firpo. He has new beard,
but beneath the foliage you can dis
Germ the same honest features, and
the same inviting chin.
The senior announced his comeback
campaign, some weeks ago through the
medium of his front man, or agente
publicidad, Don Juan Jose Noreiga
Mackenzie. He's tried the same thing
before. Every three years or so the
old Wild Bull puts on pair of gloves
and stirs up the Argentine atmosphere
with a little shadow-boXing ana road

Trains in Hoosegow,
rTHEN there was the North Ameri-
can legal code, which didn't mix

"HEN there was the North Ameri-
can legal code, which didn't mix
easily with Senor Firpo's Latin
temperament and flexible habits. The
senor grew up among Andean snug
glers, who seldom quibbled about prop
erty rights or etiquette. His subsequent
years as a bottle washer in an Argen-
tine drug store produced no change in
the ideas formed by the senior in his
youth.
So when he came to this country
with Cuban travelling companion, he
was chagrined to find himself subject
to fine and imprisonment under the
terms of one of our statutes. His Of
fenSe was called to the laws attention,
you may recall, by Canon Chase. The
senor couldn't do anything about it.
With no legal assistance and no ac-
curate idea of what was happening,
the senior found himself compelled to
train in jail for his fight with Harry
Wills.
The climax of his American mis-
fortunes, of course, was the Dempsey
fight. Senor Firpo did well enough
out Of this in a financial way, but
there are those who maintain that
only the pardonable prejudice of the
officials in favor of the North Ameri-
can boy kept Firpo from winning the
world championship.
So, if he returns to this land of woe,
the senior will have no one but him
self to blame. The fight fans won't
object, to be sure. No character in
the recent history of the ring gave
them so much drama, excitement,
amusement and genuine fighting fury
as the old wild bull. He was unique
among menaces, foreign and native
the least Skillful of them all, but the
most authentic.
