EIRPO IS A CLOSE

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 31.—
Among the remarkable things in the
make-up of Luis Angel Firpo. chal.
longer for the world's heavyweight
title. is a memory of things pugtlis-
tie that carries back to the Roman
arenas. The Argentine is an actual

cyclope'din of boxing information

d knowledge.

Called the twentieth century rec
incarnation of one of the great glad-
iators that fought for tho entertam-
ment of the Caesars-.Flrpo has in
the back of his head the names of
some of the fighters that history
says won the plaudits of the heart-
less arena crowds.

0f modern ringmon Firpo knows
all that should be Infill. He can
name the clamping or not clasms
for years and years and tell of their
best punches. their greatest triumphs
and their defeats. Naturally he has
been a close student of Jack Dempo
soy, whom he hopes to dethrone
when they meet in New York the
night of September 14.

The Argentine has never seen
Dempsey in action. mvo in motion
pictures. but he knows all his best
punches and can r the cham-
pion's record without raking his
brain. Ho hows the names of the
men who have been able to hit
Dempsey and he knows the blows
they used. In short. he knows ox-
sctiy what is ahead of him and is
preparing to meet it.

In addition to his physical work-
outs oach day he has what may be
called "the study hour." With his
trainer. Horatio Lavalle. and his
friends. he analyses his day'- work.
states the faults he has :een and
others point out his obviov- defects.
Then correcting'measures are dis-
cussed and pructised the next day.
‘ There is no fear of Dempsey in the
lion heart of the man from the Ar-
gentine. but he wants the title. and
whatever he can do to make him-
self punch perfect snd punch proof
he will do.

The Argentine gladiator is
one of the greatest eat-
ers the boxing ring has

known. Dr. Juan Reilly. an Irish-
Spanish specialist who is making a
study of Luis Angel for the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and various
health institutions and foundations.
declared.

The man Jack Dempsey will meet
for the world's heavyweight title Sep-
tember 14. in so far as eating is
concerned. is following an idea di-
rect opposite to those of all the

9. grea American trainers and specia-

lists. He eats eggs and meat and
fruit three times a day in great quan-
tities and has comparatively few

 

 

vegetables on his plate.

 
 

 

STUDENT

. OF HISTORY OF PUGILISM

 

In a. single day the food that l'ir-
po takes contains. according to Dr.
Reilly. about 7,000 calories more
than those in the food of the husk-
iest of longshoremen. The calories
in Luis Angel's food are about 3.-
500 to the meal as compared to 3.-
500 a day for s. longshoreman and
2,500 a day for the professional mall.

the starboard tack. The Howard

ahead. while the Shamrock. which

astern.

The Henry Ford quickly took the
lead and ten minutes after the start

of the Howard. The Shamrock had
drawn up on even terms with the lat-

mile stretch to the first mark of!

boats held these positions throught
the thirteen and three-quarter
