O MEDFORD AII, THIB3SE, MEFJF0E2, OBE. O MONDAY. AUGUST 8, 1960 g 3 INDIANS KEEP FOUR GAME GAP By ROY WEBSTER United Press International Three nights of baseball in Spokane failed to dent the top two Pacific Coast league spots as the Indians surged from be hind Sunday night to split its four game series with Tacoma. Headlined as one of the most crucial meetings to PCL Ptay so far this season, the series was almost a do or die situation for the Giants. A better than even split or sweep of the series would! have put the Tacoma club in good position to overtake or tie the high-flying Spokane nine. As it stands now, Spokane is out Sn front four games just as it was when the Giants' FAMOUS BOXING SCENE Death of former Argentine heavyweight boxer in Buenos Aires Sunday recalled this scene, one of the most famous in boxing history, known as the "Wild Bull of the Pampus," knocked champion Jack Dempsey through the ropes in the first round of their title fight in 1923. Dempsey climbed back into the ring and knocked Firpo out in the second round.

Ring Great Luis Firpo Dies at 65 By JAMES WHELAH Buenos Aires - (BPS - Funer al services were being held today for wealthy Luis Angel Firpo, the fabulous "wild bull of the Pampas" who knocked the great Jack Dempsey out of the ring 37 years ago in their sensational "fight of the century." The gray - haired, shaggy browed giant, 65, died sud denly Sunday morning in bed at his Buenos Aires home town from a lingering heart ailment. He had suffered a heart injury four years ago. As the body of Argentina's most famous athlete lay in state early today in the 35,000 seat Luna Park Arena, a cablegram of condolance to the widow, Senora Blanca Lourdes Firpo, arrived from former world champion Dempsey in New York. And in New York Demp sey extolled Firpo's "punch, ruggedness and raw courage that gave boxing one of its greatest boosts." He remem bered Firpo as "the most dangerous man I ever faced." Luis Angel, who at his fighting peak weighed 216 pounds and stood 6 feet, 3 in ches, tried to wrest the crown from Dempsey at the Polo Grounds in New York before 82,000 spectators on Sept. 14, 1923. The gate was $1,188,603 and the fight, though brief, was worth it. Dempsey won on a knockout at 57 seconds of the second round after perhaps the most electrifying battle irt ring history. The big South American, who had scored 28 straight victories as a professional, in cluding knockouts in his latest 13 fights, blasted Dempsey with a right to the cheek that buckled the champion's knees early in the first round. Half-woozy, but infuriated, the tigerish Dempsey tore into his bigger opponent and floored him seven times. On at least three occasions Demp sey struck Firpo as he was rising. But, about 30 seconas before the end of the round, Firpo's clubbing right knock ed the champion through the ring ropes into the first row of the working press. Dempsey flew backwards through the ropes with his legs kicking up in the air. He landed on his neck on a type writer. Two sports writers helped shove him back into the ring. He couldn't remem ber coming back. When his seconds revived him in his corner between rounds he thought he had been knocked out. He went out carefully for the second round and floored Firpo twice more for a knock out. BOWLING SUMMERTIME LEAGUE Standings: W.
