EW YORK, Aug. 20.—A little job like training \\ for a fight for the world’s championship 1 does not seem to wprry Luis Angel Firpo. With the fight less than three weeks off, \\ nutxA the Wild Bull of the Pampas got back to \\/ New York from his “barnstorming” tour and , will hang around the city for a few days before hieing to Atlantic City to get into condition for the big bout of his career. The fact that Jack Dempsey has been putting in some some telling training stunts for the last few weeks did not seem to concern the Argentininan. He seemed more wor ried over the fact that he was "done out" of $2,000 ot his $4,000 guarantee in his bout with Joe Downey in Indianapolis last r ri lay night. That bout came near having a fatal ending and for 24 hours H wan not determined whether the Wild Bull’s punch would have a serioui result on Downey. Whether the barnstorming trrp of: the challenger has done him a world of good in his efforts to condition himself Is a question he is seeking to solve. He believes the trip he just finished was the needed seasoning for his coming bout with the cham pion. He Relieves meeting the sec ond raters he did enabled him to Increase his battling prowess and that he will be in tip-top shape for Demp sey. But fistic fans are skeptical of the wild bull's claims. Never before In the history of the ring has an aspir ant fcr the heavyweight champion ship postponed his training until a little more than three weeks before the bout. Challengers usually have taken mdnths to prepare for such a bout. The fart that Firpo also has dis pensed with the services of Jimmy De Forest, veteran trainer, who was mainly responsible for his success In this country to date, adds to the skepticism of fandom that the Ar gentinian will he able to take away Jack's title. There is ofie man, however, who Is breathing a sigh of relief today. He is Tex Rickard, promoter of the fight. He did not want Firpo to go on his recent tour. Now that he is back Tex is breathing easier, for the suc cess of the bout—financially—is as sured. I Reds Manage to O Gain on Giants New York, Aug 20—The New York Nationals' loss of four games of the five-game series with Cincinnati at the Polo grounds during the week enabled the Reds to gain slightly on the league leaders.
