but; he did manage to'cut down his
circumference at the waistline by
about four inches. Luis was around
Madison Square Garden yesterday.
proudly displaying several holes he
had been forced to punch in his belt.
in order not to lose his trousers. It
was the belt with the fancy “Wild
Bull" buckle that. was presented to
Firpo just before he called for this
country. The Bull also submitted
further proof of shrinkage around
the anatomical equator when he
showed how his hand tailored un-
derwear was now so much too large
around the waist that he had to use
drastic measures to keep it in po-
sit‘ion.
Flrpo did not work out yesterday.
Big Bill Tate. who had charge of
«he Wild Bull’s working wardrobe.
did not arrive from Saratoga until
it. was too late for Luis to get into
action. "Tomorrow. tomorrow."
was Firpo's reply to all questions
about his training program.
Though Luis undoubtedly is great-
ly upset. by the trouble he is having
with the immigration officials, he
did not appear~to be worried. He
has one of those "poker faces”
whichdo not betray what thoughts
are passing'through the brain. It
is only when die is fighting that Fir-
po loses his poker face. Once the
gong rings there is fire in his eye
and his countenance flames with the
light of battle. .
Firpo said he was glad to get:
back to New York where there was
some life. He does not care for
the seclusion of the rural districts.
“Luis likes to be whcrc‘he can
see his friends and talk to them
when he is not at work." said Juan
Home. who does the talking in Eng-
lish for the “'iid Bull. "He says he
likes to be where there is some noise
and excitement."
Bill Tate, who arrived late in the
afternoon. said that Firpo perked up
a great deal when it was decided to
return to New York. Bill stated that
the Argentine was very moody for
four or five days. but that his last
three sessions at. Saratoga. after it
was decided to return to New York.
were very satisfactory.
Firpo declares he has nosintcntion
of abandoning his road work. He
will take a daily jaunt along River-
side Drivc in the early morning
hours until a couple of days before
the bout. with Harry “'llls a. week
from tonight. Firpo weights about
220 now and does not expect to take
off more than two more pounds.
Tex Rickard. in discussing the de-
portation case. said that he felt. cer-
tain that there would be no inter-
ference with the fight. "So far as
wa. or l-‘irpo have been notified offi-
cially. there will be nothing done in
the case until September 20. the
date set for the hearing when the
matter came up several weeks ago."

tional tennis championship is con-
fronted wlth. ' the opportunity of
clinching second place in national
rank. A victory over Bill Johnston
in the feature of the intersectional
series will win that place. for the
young Olympic champion beyond a
doubt. .
