Tigue May Also Fizzle
There was every indication' last
night that the proposed match be;
tween Jess Willard and Luisv Angel
Firpo. scheduled to occur either here
or in Jersey City. before July 7. would
fall through. Firpo has not signed.
and there seems to be no chance that
he will unless his terms are met .by
Tex' Rickard. who is promoting the
battle. Wl-srd has already accepted
terms and signed articles and is, now
in Los Angeles with his family. There
seems to be a good chance that the
extremely friendly relations that have
existed between Rickard and Firpo up
to this time will be considerably ai-
tered as a result of the Willard nego-
tiations.
Firpo hasinformed the promoter
that he considers himself a greater
drawing card than his opponent. who
was once heavyweight champion of
the world and who recently knocked
out Floyd Johnson at the Yankee Sta-
dium. and for that reason he should.
be paid more money than Willard.
\Vhile Rickard has made no ofl‘lcial
statement in connection with the dis~
agreement that is holding up the
match, it is understood that “'iilard
was given 30 per cent. of the’gate rec
heipts and Firpo demanded 40.- This
Tex refused to even 'consider. Ac-
cording to one report. he altered the
South American 20 per ce'nt., which
the latter coldly turned down.
Firpo apparently wants to make as
much money as possible and at the
same time conduct his operations in

this country on the most economical
lines possible. There is every indica-
tion that he will dispose of the serv-
ices of Jimmy DeForest. his trainer
and instructor, whose contract with
the Argentine heavyweight expires to-
morrow. DeForest. who is undoubt-
edly responsible for making Firpo the
fighter he is today. was invited by the
latter yesterday to continue his duties
at half the salary he received under
his present agreement. DeForest re-
fused.
Firpo will sail on Thursday for
Havana. where he is scheduled to
meet an unknown named Joe “'hite
on June 5. He will later go to Mexico
City. where he has another match ar-
ranged for June 17. DeForest was in-
vited to accompany Firpo on his “pot-
huntlng" expedition at the reduced
salary. and he firmly but respectfully
declined. Jimmy was engaged by
Firpo last February at the suggestion
of Tex Rickard. and when the pro-
moter heard last night of the latest
turn of events he was thoroughly ex-
erclsed.
Another one of Rickard's matches
that seems doomed to fall by the way-
side in the world's light heavyweight
battle between Mike Mc'l‘igue and
George's Carpentier. set for June 14.
Cables have been received by Rickard
from the Frenchman asking that the
match be postponed until a later date.
due to the fact that he had other
matches abroad that he felt called
upon to go through with. Rickard
yesterday put this proposition up to
Joe Jacobs. manager of McTigue. and
the latter refused absolutely to con-
sider any postponement. He said. that
if Carpentier didn't go through with
the fight on the date agreed upon he
could consider the match cancelled. A

cabe to this effect was sent to Car-

Jacobs informed the writer that if
Carpentier insisted upon the postpone-

arrange a battle between McTigue and
Johnny \Vilson for July 14. “'ilson
has agreed to such a match. it is said.
If both men entered the ring at the
middleweight limit. as Rickard plans
for them to do. the titles of both
would be at stake. Wilson is holder
of the worlds middleweight title
while McTigue is the world‘s light
heavyweight champion.
Jacobs announced last week that
McTigue was practically matched to
meet Harry Greb in Chicago on June

In an- ‘
’ DAY PROVIM,
GREAT SUCCESS
Saturday's sunshine aided flatly
in the production of an ideal setting
for the Field Day at Hillside school.
The weather was cool enough to suit
the young contestants and warm
enough for the comfort of the audi-
ence and the beauty of the outdoor
setting furnished a most attractive
background for the contests which
took place on the school lawn. The
evening song recital given by Ralph
Toland. the baritone, was also a most
delightful event.
The program of the afternoon in-
cluded competition in running. broad
Jump. high jump. baseball throw.
hurdle races and relay races. Girls
who won first. second or third places
in the various events were given a
proportionate number of points and
won an equal number of points for
their class score as well as for their
individual record. At the conclusion
of. the relay race. three innings of
baseball were played while the judges
completed the score to the accompani-
ment of enthusiastic hand clapping.
The principal, Miss Brendllnger. an-
nounced the results. The 'highest
number of points was won by Dorothy
Sullivan of Coming. N. Y.. of the
senior class. the second 'by Ruth Hoyt
of Nor-walk of the sophomore class
and the third by Kate Benton of Nor-
walk of the senior class. A silver cup
was awarded to Dorothy Sullivan.
The second silver cup awarded an~
nually to the class making the highest
number of points went this year to
the class of '23. The tennis cup was
held until the conclusion of the ten-
nis tournament. A silver pin suitably
engraved was presented to Virginia
Toland. winner of the highest number
of points held on Thursday for the
lower school. The whole competition
was in charge of Miss Dorothy
Brigan. Weilesley. 1922. whose excel-
lent training was manifested in the
good form shown by each contestant.
Mr. Toland's recital in the evening
was a most delightful one. Each
citai given by this talented baritone
has shown marked and steady growth
and a most delightful.standard of mu-
sicianship. Mr. Toiand's dramatic gift
does much to make his songs a great
pleasure to his audience. His voice
has a rich quality and his selections
were varied and demanded a large
amount of technique and a good voice.
Mr. Toiand's audience was very enthu-
siastic and encored him four or five
times at the close of his program.

High’s Line-up
Vincent "Peck” O'Brien. fast short-
stop of the High school baseball team.
will not be seen in action in the next

jency in scholastic attainments.
O'Brien has showed up well with the
team up to this time and it’ will cer-
tainly make a strong impression if his
a‘ sence is to be permanent. Kop-
kins. a new corner at the West avenue
institution. will undoubtedly fill the
vacant position.
