Jack Britton Terms Luis Angel Firpo '‘New Marvel of Prize Ring ”

BRUTE FORCE IS ONLY ASSET OF BIG ARGENTINE Fundamentals of Boxing Unknown to New Sensation —Packs Fierce Wallop. By JACK BRITTON, Former Welterweight Pugilistic Champion of the World. Written for the United News. (Copyright, 1923. by United News.) NEW YORK, May 14. —Luis Firpo is anew marvel of the prize ring. He does not know how to fight; that is. he does not appear to know the first fundamentals of boxing, and yet he looms up as a possible champion. The accomplishments of Firpo are the accomplishments of brute force over science. Firpo throws his mighty right with which he has won all of his fights, like a sledge hammer. It is doubtful if he knows just where it is going when it starts, hut certainly his opponent cannot know when it is coming. or where it is likely to laud. Hence Firpo is an extremely dangerous man. He is a dangerous opponent for e\ r en the most skilled boxer and ring general. He is likely to knock out anybody. This would no' mean that he is a better boxer than the man he puts away. On the contrary, he might be inferior in every wav, except as regards the one element that wins so many fights—that Is. the punch. Hits Terrible Blow Firpo's right is one of the most terrible blows I have ever seen. It is the only blow he knows how to use. Leading with his right, he leaves him self wide open, and a man with a good left might cause him a lot of trouble. But. he has to land that right only about once and his opponent is in distress. Then. Firpo shows up as the tear ing. slashing cave man. Once he lias his man "going.' Firpo is relentless. He tears in like a maddened bull. His eyes blaze. His mouth Is hard set. Caution is cast aside. Over and over again comes that mighty right. He may miss, hut over it comes again. Due to his weight he is able to keep pressing his opponent. As his victim packs away. Firpo follows closely. The blazing eyes spell destruction. The great right arm Is pulled back, poised for action. The blow that is coming is "telegraphed" to the opponent and yet when it conies, it seems it cannot be avoided. When Firi*o lands, there is no doubt ;u= to whether his vie im is knocked out Poor young Jack Me Auliffe fell Saturday before that several minutes. After being picked up by his seconds and carried to his corner. his eyes were still glassy and his legs would not support him. Can He Take It? I am a little curious to know whether Firpo can “take it” himself. In his fights in tills country to date. Firpo has not been hard hit. McAuliffe is a flashy, clever boxer, but when he stripped off I was struck forcibly by the fact that he did not appear rugged enough to deal with a man of the type of Firpo. Firpo has improved immensely since his fight with Bill Brennan a couple of months ago. He uses his left more than he did, but it is not effective. Bill, however, was not a heavy puncher on the night he met Firpo. He contracted a cold shortly before the night of the fight, and these colds affect Bill greatly. Asa consequence he was not at his best, and thougii he hit Firpo with everything he had during the early rounds, there was little steam back of the blows. But. to be a champion. Firpo must be able to take punishment ns well as administer it. He looks as though he could "take it.” He is strong, superlatively strong, and should be able to absorb all punishment coming his way. But, whether he can box or not, and whether he has any defence, Firpo is a terrible man to meet. To be beaten, he must be punched into submission by degrees. And a.ll the time his opponent must be on guard against his terrible right.

A. B. C.S CONTINUE INKING STREAK The A. B. C.s. local representativec in the Colored National League, were to meet the St. Louis Stars again this afternoon at Washington Park, after taking the first of the series Sunday by a score of 9 to 4. The A.s have won six straight games In the regular league schedule so far and are leading the cvlreuit. This afternoon’s contest was to start at 3 o'clock. In Sunday's game the locals came from behind in an eighth-inning rally in which seven runs were scored. Kell pitched steady ball for the visitors until the eighth. Stewart, who relieved him, was wilder than the wind and hit two batters, let loose of a wild pitch and permitted a hit which, altogether, was good for four more runs. Gurley finally stopped the run-getting. Corbett started for the A.s and was hit hard in the three innings he worked, giving up seven hits for a total of four runs. Clark went in for the A.s at the beginning of the fourth and held the slugging Stars to one bit and no runs for the remainder of the game. SPECIAL SHOOT MAY 24 Officials of the Indianapolis Gun Club announced today that trophies would be awarded to winners In the various events of the special-ali-day shoot here May 24. A big entry list is expected. The program will consist of 150 targets at sixteen yards divided into six twenty-five-target events. There will be handicap and double shoots also. In the weekly shoot Saturday Rmy, Kdmonson and Hampton tied, each smashing 91 targets out of a possible 100. Hampton was high in the handicap. and Slinkard, Holliday and Rerny tied in the doubles.

Jack Comments fin I nitrd Pirns SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, May 14. —“When lie is irt condition Willard is a ffroaf fight er. I expected to see him win. Firpo is a comer. T have never seen him, but from reports he is there. The more, the merrier for ine.“ Jack Dempsey commented on the results of the New York heavyweight show.

TRIBE ESCAPES lASI PLACE AS THEY GO NORTH Winning Two Out of Three From Colonels Lifts ’Em Up Notch, Ring out. wild bells’ The rndians annexed a series and moved out of last place. By dividing a double header with the Colonels at Louisville Sunday, the Tribe made it two out of three on the series, much to the chagrin of all the colonels In Kentucky. The Kentuckians were willing to ht their private stock against a bushel of pawpaws that it couldn't be done this season, but they got fooled. .Millers Now in Cellar Today the Ilendricksrnen were ettroute to Minneapolis, where they open n series with Joe Ca util lon's Millers Tuesday. Minneapolis is one of the clubs that voted against lifting the ban* on taking optional players from the big leagues. Today the Millers were In the A A cellar and probably thinking how well rhev could use a few big lengiie players. The scores i_f the Tribe-Colonel games at Loui.-villa Sunday were n to 2 In favor of Indianapolis and 13 tr 4 in favor -f Louisville. Carmen Hill pitched the winner for the Hoo siors and Erni * Krueger st tired with a home rim Nick t'ullnp heat the Indians in the second conflict of the day. Petty. Fitzsimmons and Seib took turns on the Tribe mound. The Tribe inti'ld blew up in the day’s wind up game and sev.-n mis plays resulted. Campbell had 3 errors. Whelan 2, Krueger 2 and Kirk lng 1. Fact of the matter, both teams wire off in the field during the double header and misplavs were frequent The ground is new and barren of grass and the rain of Friday arid Sat urday caused halt * to appear through out the innervvoiks Vet Cuilop Shines Old Nick Cuilop was a hitting phenom in addition to a winning pitcher in the second act Sunday The veto, ran got three hits and one was for the circuit. Manager Hendricks and Pitcher Petty. who were coaching. were chased out of the lot by Umpire Mur ray in the eigh’th Inning of the first contest Sunday. Murray was con fused on a play at the plate and when Hendricks and Petty told him he wan wrong he gave them the gate But who carts about that? The Indians won a series, and for that ! the Tribe fans are thankful. Harold Janvrin will join the team in Min no apolis Tuesday and maybe the lino siors will win another series

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

dxA. Champion

By JOHNNY KILBANE, Featherweight Champion of the World. (Copyright. 1923, by NK.V Service, Inc. in tiie United States and all foreigu countries 1 giving copyright laws. Reproduction is prohibited. I U TAV back in 1907 on a certain Vfy' night a certain kid of 18 * ” years was excited—greatly excited. As I look back and see hint through the haze of time, 1 am tempt ed to smile, but it is only a smile of sympathy for the lad’s oagnerness, a smile of understanding. That kid was working on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the reason for his seeming undue eagnerness lay in the fact that on this very night he was to make his first public ap pearance as a boxer. For fighting three rounds he was to receive —now. get this—one dollar! I was that kid. But let's go hack a bit before even tiiis. At the age of 12 I left school My father's eyesight was falling and T took it upon myself to get out and see if I couldn’t make Cleveland, my home city, produce a man's size wage for me. I found myself with the railroad, and it must he confessed I was not rapidly becoming a millionaire. But to break the monotony the boys of the road used to have what they called “smokers.” These consisted of gatherings in which boxing was the golden prize offered as a feast for the red-blooded chaps Mrs! Public Fight I had often scrapped about among the boys, tmr never In public at nn of these smokers. I was only a skinny kid of ninety pounds, and (very or.e did his heat to discourage me. "Toil'll never make a fighter." they sdd "The wind will blow you ever, if you don't watch out.” line! Wasn't that encouraging - ’ And had I listened to it, I might by t’nls time have become president of the road —but the chances are in deed slim. And because I didn’t listen to them, and finally decided to devote alt my time to boxing, T won the featherweight championship and have held it longer than any one every held any title. And although 1 never heard v.hat a railroad president makes, X doubt if he does any better than a featherweight champion At last a chance came for m to appear at a railroad stunner. Naturally I was excited. T won Then r one others, and finally a chance to go against some good boys. Strange to say the first one of these was one Tommy Kilbane. No relative. We were to tight at Lorain Ohio, for a purse of? 25, winner take 126. loser, |5. Tommy, rny name sake, handed me a bloody nose, and a trimming. But the $5 was big ;er than any purse I had ever earned up to that time. The fight took so well, despite my defeat, that we were matched again We were to go twenty-five rounds to a decision, winner take all. and the history making (?) battle was to take place at Watson's Roadhouse on I’earl Hoad, outside of Cleveland. T went into that fight weighing 119 pounds, and came nut 112 —but I got the decision, and no king of England ever felt any better than I that night. Broke Vgnjn My end of tlio purse was 1468 But as kids will do. I owed a dollar here and there, and these I paid immediately. Then when my manager, seconds and so forth got thpirs. f found myself with? 68 A new stilt of clothes, anew hat and some shoes left me with the price of a soda water. But I had paid ail my debts and was starting again with a clean record. That’s one of the difficulties of a young boxer Maybe he has one fight a month, or one in two months, but by the time another one rolls around he j is broke, not because he spends unnecessarily. but because his fights are so infrequent. After my fight with the other ICilbane, I got a match with Jack White, who was a tough kid at that time. They Insisted I fight in a 12-foot ring at Columbus. The size of the ring was made small because I had gained a reputation of being so fast my opponent couldn’t find mo. The fight came off and I won. After that fight, Jimmy Dunn, who had a reputation as fighter and manager, called me to one side. "Johnny, why don't you quit railroading, and take, up fighting for good? You’re cut for it,” he said. That sounded good to me, and as T look back. I realize it was only the word of Rome one like Dunn that 1 was waiting for. a word of encour agement before plunging into the ring forever. Kilbane'*. next article tells how he met and defeated Joe Rivers, and earned a chance to meet Abo Attell, the champion.

SECOND CONTEST IN H. $. SECIES Manual and Tech Meet on Diamond Tuesday. The second high school city series baseball game will I>© played at Tech nical field Tuesday between Manual and Tech. Tech has not lost a game this year and has one victory to its credit in the first intra-city contest over Shortrldge. Manual has been defeated once this season by Southport, but is improving steadily under the direction of Rowland Jones, the south side baseball coach. Manual started its season later than the other Indianapolis schools. The Tech infield has been shifted about somewhat. It was a hit eyrntlo and Coach Mueller has been export mentlng with Kchultze at first, Rabe at shortstop and Riley at third. Kchultze is an all-around hall player. He was behind the bat In recent games and at the start of the season played shortstop. Rabe was moved over from third. Riley has been on the bench, but handles himself well on the infield. Peterson probably will pitch for Tech and Becker for Manual.

FARRELL United Press Spirts Editor NEW YORK, May 14.—Jess Willard and Luis Firpo. largest and most important of those who survived the heavyweight carnival .Saturday, will be signed today to meet on June 30, if the plans of Tex Rickard go through. The conquerors of Floyd Johnson and Jack McAuliffe have been asked to confer with Rickard and talk terms. Both are said to he willing to meet if the terms are satisfactory and Rickard usual ly has a satisfying way about him.

Willard, however, may not like the date, and if he objects too strongly and demands a longer rest, Rickard will try to find a later date. The former heavyweight champion will be forced to meet Firpo if he wants the public to support him in his campaign to gat another crack’ at Jack Dempsev. Willard has satisfied those who doubted that he could come hack, but his form was not impressive enough to swing opinion to the belief that lie is ready now for a return bout with the champion. Firpo came out of the carnival as the most impressive of the big contenders. It was not the mere feat 01 knocking out young McAuliffe but the artistic manner in which he did It that made Firpo the outstanding man on the card. Wise boxing fans who saw all the natural fighting qualities in the South American were saying today that If Dempsey is going to "take him” he had better waste no time. The longer Jimmy De Forest works with the Argentine giant the more difficulty Dempsey will experience. The change that De Forest worked in Firpo since he knocked out Bill Brennan is almost remarkable. In the short space of a few weeks, De Forest brought about almost a miraculous improvement In the ser.qr and he hasn’t had o good start yet. Tt took De Forest two long, hard years to make Dempsey and he hasn't had Firpo for six months. Floyd Johnson, the gamest young fellow who ever went into n ring, was knocked out by Willard, but it does not follow that he is through. On th- ohier hand, that set-back may be the making of 'dm If he can be taught to hit. as others have been taught before him, Johnson Is bound to pop uii again as a logical contender. and with the great heart thai the youngster possesses, he is bound to develop.
