Firpo Wins First Round in Battle to Stay in U S
Lula Firpo the South American fighter won the first round of his bid to remain in the United States. A postponement was granted for a perjury hearing against Firpo, delaying action until September 20. The delay comes after an affray filed by Rev William Shenfhhasa, with a woman of Spanish origin cited as the cause of Firpo's trouble on the eve of a heavyweight bout with Harry Wills at Doyle's Thirty Acres in New Jersey. The case raises questions about entry eligibility and the presence of Anna Lourdoa, the woman aboard the same ship as the Firpo party.
