DOWNEY HURT BY HUGE GLOVES IN FIRPO BOUT Joe Recovers, However, Afte r Going to Hospital ‘Wild Bull’ Sees a Wild Night Here, Trouble, trouble, boil and bubble. All night long. Indianapolis fans got a look at Luis Angel Firpo, the “wild bull of the Pampas,” Friday night, but it didn’t amount to much. Firpo, himself, was on a “look cruise” today, looking for Jack Druley, matchmaker of the Friday “Midnight Frolics” at the Hoosier Motor Speedway.

As for the average fisticuff fan, he wasn’t seeing very well today because of the lack of sleep. Many of 'ham got home this morning just in inie to flip over in bed i few times and then climb out of the “hay” and go to work. As for Joe Downey, Firpo’s adversary in the sparring exhibition, he was at the Methodist Hospital several hours today recovering from a .waxing spell which overtook him after he had tangled with the “wild bull.” He hoped to leave the hospital this afternoon and depart for his home in Columbu3, Ohio. Pains in Head. Downey collapsed after leaving the arena and it was necessary to bring him to the city in an ambulance. He complained of pains in the head after the bout and became unconscious. His condition showed improvement today, it was said at the hospital, where he regained consciousness early this morning. Downey’s manager said his boxer was hurt and made dizzy in training last Sunday by an elbow blow behind one ear and he thought (his had something to do with Downey’s collapse after the Firpo bout. Firpo outpointed- Downey decisively in ten two-minute rounds. Both boxers wore 16-ounce glovfes—"pillows,” they are called—and the affair was merely a "consolation.” as It was announced the promoters had failed to produce the stipulated guarantees to 'he principals. Neither had to appear, it was said, but chose to spar in order not to disappoint the crowd, which bad threatened trouble. No Knockdowns Permitted The county sheriff threatened to arrest boxers and promoters in any of the night's bouts If any knockdowns occurred, and this circumstance naturally put the cold water on the evening's fisticuffs. Everybody feared being locked up by the law. As is was, Firpo nearly slammed ; Downey to the mat In the tenth ses - sion even with heavy gloves. Luis demonstrated he is a terrific puncher. Ringslders decided he is good, but not good enough at this time to meet

Jack Dempsey, whom he is slated to meet in New York Sept. 14 for the world’s title. The Argentine probably could have knocked Downey through the ropes any time he chose, but he was forced to lighten his punches because of the presence of the sher.ff. Before the opening bell sounded, I Referee Dickerson said: "Don’t blame the ouxers and don't, blame the referee. We are going to give you the most the law allows tonight.” Fans Voice Protest Previous to the main event the | boxers decided to spar only four rounds because their pay checks had been cut, but the crowd threatened a riot if ten rounds were not staged and after much drama, in which Mayor Shank threatened to have all connected with 'he event arrested if the length of the affair was reduced, the principals agreed to go through with the original ten, but with two-minute rounds Instead of three-minute sessions. It was said Firpo’s guarantee was $4,000 and Downey’s SI,OOO, and that Firpo agreed to take $2,000 and Downey SBOO for four rounds work when the box office receipts failed to measure up to expectations. Matchmaker Druley did not appear at the ringside and it was said he had left the place, after paying the boxers at reduced rates. He was not at his home today. In the prelim affairs Sidney Glick outpointed Johnny Lucas in six rounds; Maxle Epstein gained a shads on Billy Long in six sessions; Pinkie Crosby easily outpointed A1 Flint in six rounds and the Johnny Luke-Alex Novecky bout was stopped in the second round to save Luke further punishment. Ted Blankenship threw a flop in the tenth inning when the Washington Senators scored two runs and beat the White Sox Friday. The Pirates pounded Ring out of the box in the seventh inning and heat the Phils.

HLDEN TO PLAY WIEN NORTON IN NATIONAL MEET Big Bill Changes Plans and Takes South African as Partner. By United Sexes BOSTON. Aug. 18.—William T. Tilden, who recently parted company with Vincent Richards as his doubles partner after winning the national championship tw r o successive years, will not be coupled with his young protege, Sandy Weiner of Philadelphia, in this year’s tournament beginning next Monday. Tilden, the singles tennis champion of the world, has made another shift and has taken up with Brian I. C. Norton, the man from South Africa, whom he met once at Wimbledon in a stirring contest for the technical championship of the world. This was learned when the draw for the doubles championship was made public Friday. The tournament is to be played at the Longwood Cricket Club, Boston, beginning Monday. As Norton had been paired with Richards, the switch of Tilden’s plans compelled Richards to find anew partner. He will play with Dean Mathey. Seeded pairs in the draw include Tilden and Norton; Little Bill Johnston and the formidable C. J. Griffin, both from California; Robert and Howard Kinsey of California; R. N. Williams and Watson Washburn and James O. Anderson and J. B. Hawkes, the Australians. AUSTRALIANS TO MEET U. S.
