Tex Rickard Announces He Will Stage Dempsey-Firpo Match at Buenos Aires
_. —~ * ""
Decision Made After Conference
.With Champion's Manager; Bout to
Be Held About First of November
i
Promoter'* Agent* Report a
Big Gate. Is Assured in "Paris
of South America."
Hr Associated Press.
EW YORK. July 16.
—The heavyweight
boxing outlook took
an unexpected turn
late today, when
Promoter Tex Rick
ard announced *
definite proposal to
stage a title match
between Jack
. Dempsey, the cham
_ pion, and Luis
Angel Firpo. in the capital of the
latter's native Argentina. Buenos
Aires, about November 1. Firpo,
keenly anxious to fight for the high
est of fistic honors before his coun
trymen. already lias accepted Rick
ard's terms. Jack Kearns, the title
holder's manager, discussed the de
tails of the proposition with Rickard
for an hour this afternoon, and at
the end of the conference told the
promoter his answer would be ready
by Wednesday.
Rickard said his plan to take the
fight out of this country was
prompted by two reasons—Firpo's de
sire to return to his native country
for the bout, and enthusiastic reports
from the promoter's agents as to the
possibilities of financial success in the
"Paris of South America.”
Rig Rale Is Seen In Argentina.
Rickard has had representatives in
the Argentine for some time, but just
after Firpo's knockout victory over
Jess Willard at Boyle's Thirty Acres
a few days ago, he intimated he had
abandoned the project in South
America because of the probable risk
involved. However, he received cabled
advices today that helped alter his
mind, one of theni from Juan Home,
a personal agent, saying that a tight
between Firpo and either Dempsey or
Harry Wills, negro contender, would
draw more than -,000,000 pesos
about fSOO.OOO—in the, Argentine capi
tal. -

Ruth Hitting Ball Better Than Any Player in Majors
EW YORK', July JO.
"Baltc" Ruth, with
every Indication
pointing to his re
gaining home run
laurels taken away
last year by Rogers
Horn a by, slugging
Cardinal, la seek
ing another honor
this \esr. "Babe"
wants to lead the
league in hitting and
the way he haa been
__ hitting the ball late
ly, it looks as if this
ambition would be realized.
Not only in knocking out home
run«. but in making ordinary hits
"Babe" haa been coming along like a
house afire.
Today he la only two horn# runs be
hind Cy Williams. Philadelphia out
fielder, who is topping .the leagues
with 33. "Babe" has 31 to his credit.
Last year this date "Babe" had 14.
hut was out of the game for 30 days
at the beginning of the season be
cause of his suspension hy Judge
Landis. Hornsty topped the home
run hitters last sear with 4_\ "Rais,
finished fourth with 35, Khi Williams
with 39 and Tilly W alker with 37 fin
ished ahead of him. With the season
more than half over, it la not likely
that. "Babe” will surpass his record
of 69 made two years ago, but he has
a chance to top ITornsbx’s mark of
last year.
But it m in hitting that "Rat*#" Is
shining this year. According to the
statistics, the "Babe'* is hitting them
better now than any other player In

the leagues. Today he Is only 17
points behind Harry Heilman, the
Detroit outfielder, who i» leading the
American league with a percentage of
.390, A week ago Hellmann had a
percentage of .407 and "Babe ' was in
fourth place with a percentage of
.365. In the past week "Babe" has
Jumped from fourth to second place
and has gained 25 points on Hejl
mann.
There is considerable discussion
among baseball sharps ss to whether
"Belie" Ruth would not even hit
above the 400 mark If opposing twlrl
ers were not so liberal with doling
out free ticket* to first to Bambino,
l.ast year he was gi\en 94 base* on
balls. Thus far this year he hae sur
passed this mark for free rides to
first.
Two things are responsible for
"Babe * stick work He la using a
shorter bat this year—ocer an Inch
shorter than the one* he has been
accustomed to swinging And he is
adopting different style* at the plate.
He Is not always using his famous
toe hold, with the result that many
shorter drives are being made by
"Rahe" where he formerly struck out
by trying to drive ecery ball out of
the field

Four New Champions Now
Reign in World of Fistiana
Walker, McTigue, Villa and Criqui Dethrone Champ* Since
Last Fall—Fifth Likely to Take Seat Before Snow Flies
—Straws of Comment Indicate That Pugilistic Wind*
Blow Toward Dempsey-Firpo Match.
By DAMON RUNYON
Universal Service Staff Correspondent.
(Copyright)
EW YORK, July 16—The writer told you last
fall that five pugilistic world’s championship
titles would change hands in 192‘5.
One more change will fulfill the prediction
Four new world’s champions reign in
fistiana since this statement was made—
) Walker, McTigue, Villa, Criqui—five it you
I consider Jack Bernstein’s “junior lightweight
title worthy of consideration.
I Three titles will be contested within the
next three months—Criqui's featherweight title,
/Leonard’s lightweight title, and finally, Jack
DeniDsev's hcavyweiRnt title. •
The waiter thinks one of the three will surely fall and complete the
prophecy. Which do you think it will he?
Predicts Firpo Victory
Difference of opinion makes horse races—and prize ‘ ' .‘t ‘
Brisbane, in the most magnificent article on a light, or fight . -
has ever read, and which created a terrific sensation In the wot id of sport,
told you that Duis Angel Firpo will beat Jack Dempsey H they «-^r ;
Now comes Mr. Sylvester Gunkel of Perth Amboy. N I with sn in
terestlng letter warning against "boosting" Firpo for a match with Dempsey
before Firpo shows at least 400 per cent improvement.___

Furthermore. Mr. Gunk*! fays he
saw Firpo work against '‘Bill Tate
In training at Hong Branch and,
while he does not so state, the in
ference is that this work and the
Willard fight leads him t" hi* con
clusion that 'The Wild Bull of th«
Pampas" must improve at least 4t'0
P«r cent to make him worthy of a
match with Dempsey.
Mr. Gunkel thinks Firpo should h«
requested to f rst meet Tom Gibbon a.
He savs if Firpo can beat Gibbon*,
he will he one of th« first to pro
claim Firpo's groatnes*
It is not likely * Firpo Gibbets
match will be made, interesting'

not concede Firpo a - iiance against

of others believe with Mr. Brisbane
that F.rpo will beat Dempsey *• ea*
ily a* he beat Willard.
Firpo will be a good drawing card
with Dempsey because Firpo has tier
