K\V YORK, April 1, Placed In the hands of a com petent trainer, Luis Angel Fir po. fur-bearing human bring could ami would take his place once more among the leading con tenders for the heavyweight to tie, is the opin ion expressed by Jimmy De For rest today as be carefully marked the dotted line for Tom Gibbons and Gene Tunney. He didn't say. in so many words, that Firpo could beat either or both under these conditions. One could simply j draw one’s conclusions. "Firpo has the strength ami the punch,” DeForrest said, "lie has the heart and he can take it. There is not the slightest doubt in m.v mind, that, if lie will make up his mind to take training seriously, lie will be back where he was before, challenging for the title." James himself doesn't crave the position, lie trained Dempsey for the Willanl shot at Toledo and the best he got out of that was the air, | beneficial but inexpensive. Next, lie teamed up with Firpo at a time when the latter thought a right cross was something you used for t a headstone. Within a year, DeForrest had molded a handful of red clay into white statuary am\ Firpo, on tlie ■ threshliold of his big moment, de cided that be hail rente to a point where advice was not only irksome but unnecessary. At a single gesture Firpo was without a trainer, and Jimmy DeForrest was without a job. Firpo (lien went oil alone to stop Will: rd, but was lucky to get away with it- He was a sensation against Dempsey because the champion lost his head and fought like a steve dere. Firpo, poorly trained ami without proper attention in his cor ner. was within a punt It of the title. He never landed it because the only level head in bis corner was flat. DeForrest, ipiiet ami efficient, might have made Firpo champion that night. And lie thinks it can be done again. ’Tint not by me," he disclaimed hastily, "Fm a matchmaker now, and about to get something out of boxing for the first time. Yet I want to make this clear. Firpo right now is a great prospect for any man who can take hold of him and make him do tlie right thing. He is young, only J8. and so strong that 1 don't believe lie has hurt him self by his manner of living. "He Is coming back from abroad soon, and from what I have been given to understand. Is ready to place himself is charge of some competent trainer. If he does, watch out for Firpo. lie will be hack on the sport | pages again.'' ‘STRANGLER’ LEWIS BEATS DEMETRAL Cleveland, O , April 1—Using a | headlock that Incapacitated his op ponent, "Bill" Demetral, Ed (Strati-j gler) Dew is last night won the fea ture match of a wrestling card here j The time was 41 minutes. 15 seconds, j Demetral was reported today to have suffered a severe injury to his neck — If we'd chew less f od more wed! need more pills less.
