dgn a first-class pitcher for this com

return to Omaha for a three weeks’
lest. In the latter part of last season
heplayed the outfield for the Sidney
Ha..) team and Ills fine throwing arm
enabled th^Iowans to win the Class
H championship of southwestern
1 owa.

i going as far as offering to put up a
j forfeit of *100 to insure the amateur
| heads that he would live up to his
: contract, hut the officials would not
1 listen to him. His status will prob

Four Localities
Seek Firpo-Wills
Fistic Match
♦-7—
Some Dispute as to Motion
Picture Rights of Bout
Few Minor Details to
He Settled.
New York. Feb. lC.-In d. m v
porta from South America have stat
ed that Lulu Angel Firpo has sign
ed to meet Harry Wills under the
promotion of a 1-ong Island e.-nd.
cate, it appears doubtful whether this
really Is true. Firpo may have
agreed verbally to accept the terms
offered by Lew Raymond and lbs
backers, but the actual signing of • j
papers has not taken place.
According to Raymond every
thing is settled except a few minor
details. One of these is said to be
the motion picture rights over
which there seems to be a differ
ence of opinion, and the other is the
exact site for the bout, which lias
not been selected, ft is said that
Firpo Is perfectly willing to 'tring
along with this syndicate, hn
will refuse to sign a contract tub
a definite spot is acquired where it
can he guaranteed there will lie- no
interference with the proposed
match.
Just at present this syndicate ~
four locations under consideration
and they would like to sign Firpo and
then decide which place can offer t1 -
best inducements for signing ” •
bout. But this method of proved ; “
does not agree-with Firpo‘« wav '
thinking. The South American evi
dently ha« not lost any of his
nlng in money matters, for it s id i.e
will insist upon being shown an
lion on the site for the match Vfn: c
signing on the dotted line even
though the syndicate is willing
deposit the entire purse if he shots'
desire it.
Connecticut. New Jersey and New
York have been in tiic field ever
since this mysterious syndicate
sprang into the headlines, but a
few days ago another locality was
added to the list of possibilities
when Pennsylvania put in a bid
for the contest.
Like the other three Bites which
are being considered, a new arena
will have to be built if the match ,s
put on in Pennsylvania. The only
available stadiums just at present ase
the trail larks and these both are
much too small for a match of cj h
magnitude. So it seems that Quakcr
town would have to erect a nt»
arena just like any of the other
cities which are after the contest.
Notre Dame and Illinois will engage
in a dual track meet at Urban* j
ruary 22.
