Willard Firpo Fight Raises Gate to Record Heights
New York July 10 Jess Willard and Luis Angel Firpo faced near perfect shape for their Boyle's Thirty Acres bout as ticket sales top expectations. Willard's eight round workout preceded Firpo’s left jab tuning while Dick Rickard forecasts a record gate exceeding 500000 with about 90 thousand paid attendance potential. The long awaited heavyweight clash drew large advance sales at Madison Square Garden and a heavy sellout outlook.

Tampa May Bid for Dempsey and Gibbons
Tampa Florida July 16 prospects rise that the city will bid for a return bout between heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey and Tommy Gibbons next winter. Businessmen plan to promote the fight under the 116th field artillery. A state law against promoting the sport blocks immediate offers and the venue may hinge on the artillery reservation outskirts. Forest fires destroy about 20 000 acres daily across the country. Brazil holds the world’s greatest iron store.
