April 24‘ —-Luis Angel Flrpo South American heavy- weight champion who recently de- clared his intentions to retire from the ring. announced today that he was willing to go to the United States and fight Quinton Romero. Chilean heavyweight, providing Ro- mero fought no other boxer previous to their meeting. Flrpo made his anouncement 1f- ter dining with friends last night in- forming Juan Home, representative of Tex Rickard, who said he was cabling Rickard to make eflorts to call of Romero‘s match with Floyd Johnson on May 9 and substitute for it a Flrpo-Romero bout at a later date. This reversal of Flrpo's much re- iterated retirement decision is due. he asserts, solely to resentment at reported declarations by Romero that Firpo feared him, together with statements of a. similar tenure pub- lished in the Chilean newspapers. _Hon1a said that if a match with Romeyould be arranged. he had little d bt that Firpo would be willin to sign .up afterward to meet Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey. "I might do so." Firpo admitted. but he added that in. would make no commitments 'Intil after a light with Romero was assured. “Romero claims I am afraid of him," said Flrpo to the correspond- ents in confirming his new decision. "The Chilean papers say I am afraid of him. I can'nstand that. I will go to the United States and fight Romero provided he fights no one else until he meets me. I want to be the first to knock him out. “I am willing to go and fight him without a guarantee. His defiance of me is the only reason I have for changing my mind. Regarding Wills and Dempsey; I am not think- ing of them.” [W The Republican Women’s club of Westport will give a luncheon at the Westport Country club next Monday afternoon, daylight saving time. at which time prominent po- litical leaders ad speakers will de- liver addresses.

While the Fan-field aggregation piled up the greater number of points it was not so much its bet- ter playing ability but Norwalk’s hard luck that proved the deciding factor. It was indeed hard luck for the Green and White. The local team had no pitchers.- _ Holmes, Flewwellin and Green- wood, the ‘threo and the only moundsmen for‘ the . locals were all unable to do anything 101" the team yesterday. Flemllln. the elognated pitcher, who ‘in addition to his sport activities is' editor-in- chiet of the High school year book. had to be away from the game be- cause of pressing duties, and showed up in the eighth inning. Greenwood was absent and Holmes had a sore arm. The problem was a grave one for Coach Ferrel B. Green at the start of e game and he had to resort to ‘aptain Sam Sallick. .1 ' He was released in the second by Holmes. In the first inning the opponents started right off. With two men on. J. Bicrnc. Fab-field's third baseman, drove one. out that went through Ick Hclfant in the outfield and resulted in two runs. The made two morein the second inning. Somewhat discouraged but impel- lcd by old rivallry the locals went back into the game and started a hit of maneuvering themselves. Bulway, the opposing pitcher was by no means too good for the Nor- Walk batsmen. In the second inning the locals “found“ Dalway and hit the horse- hlde in good fashion. Skldd and Montgomery brought in the two runs on Sallick’s drive to center. The outlook was a hit rosy for the locals for three innings. In the fourth O‘Brien. Hart and Carroll drzive in runs and placed the tally at D‘ . Even though his arm was sore Holmes managed to hold the oppon- cuts down in a fair manner. He held them scoreless for five impinge but at the crucial time in the seventh after Norwalk had gained three more runs, he allowed the rivals to tie and regain the lead. The game closed at 6- 5. Holmes struck out 6 in 6 1-2 in- nings. Dalway struck out 8 in 9 mnlngs. There is no question at all that if the pitching of the Norwalk team was good from the start the locals ~ would». have won the game.
