Senor Luis Firpo Likes Other Sports, but Boxing Record Book Is His Bible

By VEDDER GARB. UIS ANGELO FIRPO keeps his thoughts iced away in the _ Firpo think tank. And just what they are it is rather doubtful if any one ever knows. He is calm, but not sullen. Rather, he seems to be a mountain up above all the flurry and bustle. And still in that strange personality there is not a total lack of interest in what is going on around him. He seems to wake from a dream at times. While all was talk around him today in his room at the Claypool Hotel the challenger for the heavyweight crown remained leaning against the foot of the bed thumbing a well-worn little book. Student of Boxing “That’s Firpo’s bible,” his manager stated. It was the boxing record.

DE FORREST OUT AS TRAINER OF FIRPOJIS SAID Pressure Used to Unseat Jimmy in Favor of Lavalle of Buenos Aires, Members of the Luis Firpo staff won’t say definitely whether Jimmy De Forrest of New York will act as Firpo’s trainer for the Dempsey title match Sept. 14, but opinion in local boxing circles points toward anew chief trainer for the South American. De Forrest trained Firpo for the Willard bout and did a good job of it. but it is said pressure has been brought by South American sportsmen to have Luis handled by a trainer from his own country. Hortio Lavalle of Buenos Aires is due to arrive in New York Aug. 19 and it is said he is the trainer chosen to take the place of De Forrest. Firpo planned another work out at the Hoosier Athletic Club this afternoon. He worked there Monday and appeared in fine trim and all set to punch Joe Downey's ears down at the Hoosier Motor Speedway Wednesday night. Joe Downey was scheduled to reach the city late this afternoon and he planned to go to the Mitchell Club. Promoter Druley has arranged four prelims for the Wednesday show before Firpo and Downey don gloves for the main event. Harry Lewis, originally slated to referee the match hero, can not act, it was announced today. JACKSON ON SCENE FOR COLORED HEAVY FRACAS Big Fellows All Set for Scrap at Tomlinson Hall Thursday. Tut Jackson, colored heavyweight scrapper, arrived in the city today from Washington Court House, 0., to finish his training for his bout with Jack Leslie, local dusky heavyweight, Thursday night at Tomlinson Hall. Jackson said he is in good trim for the battle with Leslie. Jackson thinks he will put Leslie to 'Sfteep for the count, but the local mauler, who has been working hard for several weeks, is predicting that Tut is in foe. a losing fight. Jackson and Leslie are scheduled to go ten rounds and two other fast ten-round bouts, 'with colored scrappers, will complete the card which Beverly Howard has arranged as one of the entertainment features of the colored Shriners’ convention.

Firpo knows the achievements of every heavyweight past and present. This fighting business is quite a hobby with Luis and he likes it fine. It is not strange that he did not join in the conversation, as he does not speak English. It is therefore not so strange that he did not seem to be interested. On two or three occasions wheft he caught a phrase he could understand his eyes would flash and he would ask his manager just w 't was being said. But the impression, after all, that Firpo creates is one of detachment from his surroundings. He is extremely quiet and the look in his eyes seems to be of far-away things. While one is in his presence the primitive seems very close. And yet in

Walt Says It’s His Legs .. . • *. s - ' s ■■

By SEA Service Aug. 7.—ls Xju'l Walter Johnson going back? l___J Walter admits it himself, so there can be no doubt about it. Johnson has been pitching in the American League since 1907. He has always been on a losing team, 1 never with a great club. As .a reI suit, in order to win. he invariably | was forced to press his pitching to the limit. When a start pitcher begins to go j back the blame is invariably laid to I an ailing arm. Listen to what Johnson has to say on this point:

SECOND DAY AT GULVERTOURNEY Local Stars Win in Junior and Boys’ Net Meet. Bp Times Special CULVER, Ind., Aug. 7—The big Indiana junior and boys’ tennis tourney got away on the second and third round of play today with part of the huge entry list disposed of in the first day’s matches It is thought to be one of the largest meets ever held for the younger players. The entry included 115 juniors and seventy boys. All of the favorites came through their first contests in excellent style. Julius Sagalowsky of Indianapolis won two matches in the junior play. In the boys’ division Tommy Wilson anil Bud Markey, two of the better known Indianapolis netters, won their matches. The meet is being handled in efficient style and the youngsters are having a great time at the Culver institute along with the tourney competition. CUP MATCHES THURSDAY Tennis Set Ahead One Day Because of Harding Funeral. By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—The Davis Cup matches between Australia and Japan will be played here Thursday, it was announced today. Two singles matches scheduled for Friday were set ahead because of the late President Harding's funeral. Winners of the meet here will meet the French team at Brookline, Mass., Aug. 16, 17 and 18.

that contradictory character there is a certain calm and peace. Gentle Out of Ring Knowing Firpo's methods in the ring, where he is a mauling giant who knows hardly any ring craft but brute strength and fight, fight, fight it. is hard to reconcile his gentleness while out of the squared circle. Firpo seems anjeious to please and has that really true courtesy which is respect for other’s feelings. There is a certain pathetic touch about the huge fighter. It is hard to explain just what. It is probably the somber expression about his eyes, but it is very doubtful if anyone should worry much Firpo. He surely does not seem to be of the worrying kind. It is a fine world and the money is coming in fast for Luis. Firpo is one of those happen-sos, in

WALTER JOHNSON

“I’m going back, and no one knows it better than I do. It may surprise you, however, to know that I figure it is my legs and not my throwing arm that troubles me most. “Unless a pitcher’s legs are strong and able to stand up under the constant strain of striding on eyery ball pitched, he can't get his stuff on the ball. “My legs are far more troublesome than my aim. Some days they seem too weak to support my body after I have gone four or five Innings at top speed."

O’DOWD WINS BY K. 0. Munoie Boxer Puts Away Schmalzer in Third Round. By Times Special LOUISVILLE, Aug. 7. Mickey O'Dowd.

Big League Liners

New York’s awakened Giants forge still further ahead of their pursuers in the National League race by twice drubbing Pat •Moran’s Reds at Cincinnati Monday. It was the fourth straight victory over the Moranites and put the New Yorkers six and a half games in the lead —the greatest advantage they have had since they started West. Double defeat was bitter for Cincinnati. for an even break would have put them back to second place, as the rirates, occupying that berth with a mere two points ahead of them, dropped a game <o the lowly Phillies. Walter Ruether pitched the Brooklyn Dodgers to a win over the Cubs In Chicago Monday. By coming from behind in the eighth inning to score four runs, the Yankees, in the American league, barely eseaped defeat In their game with (he Browns at the Yankee stadium. Philadelphia walloped the White Sox in the Quaker City. Rain kept the Braves and Cardinals lobby-bound in St. Louis, The second-place Cleveland Indians, thirteen anc one-half games behind the Yanks, won from the Senators in Washington. Old BUI Piercy got the better of a pitcher’s duel with Herman Pillette helping the tail-end Red Sox to a win over Ty Cobb's heavy-hitting Tigers. Two new pitchers broke into the Big Show line-up Monday. Paul Castner, Notre Dame athletic star, finished a game for the White Sox that already had been lost. Pewee Gearin, formerly of Milwaukee, the smallest twirler in the majors, pitched a couple of innings for the Giants in the second game of the double-header at Clncy.

which nature does her best with a certain specimen. The Argentinean’s father, a small man, is still living. Two brothers and a sister, who are living,, are of only medium height. His mother is dead. She was a large woman, and it is from her that Firpo must have inherited his huge frame. His father is from Italy and his mother was from Spain. Giant in Stature There is no doubt but that he is a giant in stature. He stands 6 feet, 2% inches and, at present, weighs 216 pounds. His best fighting weight is 212.

FOUR CONTESTS ’ IN THREE DAYS WITH CHAMPIONS / Rare Baseball Dish Offered Tribe Fans —Two Games on Wednesday Bill, Four games in three days with the Champion Saints face the Indians as a result of the scheduled Monday contest being postponed or, account of" wet grounds. The delayed opening of the series was to occur this afternoon and two games will be staged Wednesday and a fourth fracas Thursday. The Wednesday bill looks especially pleasing to the fans, because seeing two. battles between the Saints and Indians for the price of one admission ,is what is known as a rare treat. Mike Kelley’s athletes refuse to admit the K. C. Blues are strong enough to beat them out of the pennant, and they feel a keen desire to Tvin this 'series and thereby prevent the men of Wilbur Good getting out in front. As the race stood today it was (. tie between K. C. and St. Paul. Both Saints and Indians benefited physically by the vacation Monday, particularly the pitchers. The Indians had just come out of two double .headers in two days and the hurling brigade was well drawn.
