Argentine's giant loomed as a possible contender for Jack Dempsey's world
heavyweight-crown when he scored a knockout in the third round of his battle withiS
Jack McAuliffe 2nd, of Detroit at the New Yankee Stadium, New York. Luis Firpo
dropped his opponent with two right uppercuts. Picture shows McAuliffe flat on his
face in the middle of the ring, with the bulky South American towering over him, the
referee declaring Firpo a winner as 60,000 spectators cheered.
