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. (UPI Telephoto)
Maury Wills Has Party
Sunday In Philadelphia
Milwaukee - fflPD - Maurice
(Morning) Wills, a seemingly
harmless shortstop who ap
pears to come up only to Don
Drysdale's belt buckle, is on
a batting binge, and this city
of beer and baseball looked
upon his arrival today about
like it would prohibition.
Switch - hitter Maury had
himself a party in Philadel
phia, where brotherly love
isn't exactly what the Phillies
felt for him.
In the Los Angeles Dodgers'
doubleheader sweep, 8-7, and
2-1, over' the seventh - place
Phils Sunday, Wills smashed
seven singles, four runs, four
stolen bases and two runs bat
ted in. He rocketed his bat
ting average up to .311.
Tonight in County stadium,
Los Angeles will be the guest
of the second-place Braves,
who conked the Cubs Sunday,
5-4. Carlton Willey (5-6) will
try his arm at getting Wilis
out, and Drysdale (10-11) who
last time out lost his first de
cision in more than a month,
will pitch for the touring Coli
seum residents.
Wills' heroics Sunday made
the appreciative Philadelphia
fans overlook somewhat a fine
pitching job by Sandy Kou
fax. Koufax gave up only four
hits and retired 11 Phillies via
strikeouts in the tight second
game. Larry Sherry received
credit for the first game vic
tory, his ninth of the season
against eight losses.

took Sunday night's contest,

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.
