I , o Many Radio Fans Got Distorted Fight Results | Most of the radio fans of this lo ! cality appear to have been tuned in Thursday night with KDKA. a Pittsburgh broadcasting station, for the Firpo-Wills bout at Jersey City, and were the victims therefore of a rasher distorted version of the big battle. It developed that the announcer using the Pittsburgh broadcasting station was a representative of an Argentine newspaper, and was broadcasting his report expressly for readers of his own paper, 6,000 miles away. He recorded frequently that Firpo “landed heavilv with his right ’ and when Firpo was floored excused it with the explanation that Firpo was caught off balance. In his summary he gave Wills the best of four rounds only, gave four rounds to Firpo, and figured the other four rounds were about an even break. When the American dailies Friday morning published the reports of the various preset associations the reports did not sound much like it was the same fight, for all agreed that Wills was a decided victor and had the best of the entire fight, dryg J- gxaghrdl mfwy bgkff o Ft.
