During the two years that In-
tervened between those epic fights
Texas was constantly in the lime-
light. recognized now as dictator by
the pugilistic fraternity but still to
win the financial backing which a
little later was to make him a ipil-
Uonaire as wen. The development
of another opponent for Jack Demp-
sey was Rickard’s chief concern
during the year 1922. The big
South American, Luis Angel Firpo,
having been decided upon, the prob-
lem then became two-fold. Firpo
had to be “bally-hooed” as no oth-
er heavyweight contender save
Carpentier ever had been and he
had to be brought along carefully] fight turned out as tt did.

hurl his whole tremendous bulk up-

that the South American was what

saw to it that the skilled left-book-

defense wrie minimized by the “bal-
lyhoo” artists, who played up the
savage, destructive rush of ‘The
Wild Bull of the Pampas."
I-eased Polo Grounds
Now It was time for Rickard to
invade New York with his first big
heavyweight fight in the city. The
Moran-Willard afTait paled to in-
significance besidb the Dempsey-
Firpo spectacle.
Tex teaasd the Polo Grounds and
sent an army of carpenters to ear-
pet the vast expanse of playing field
with an unbroken stretch of pine
seats.
The success of the “Battle of Uie
Century" assured the success of this
fight from a financial point of view.
Everyone interested In boxing had
to have a ringside seat and Tex saw
to tt that there ware plenty ol the
tickets labeled ringside. .
But the big question in Rickard's
mind, which he' never admitted to
PTrpo’s obvious inferiority cause the
South American to prove a chop-
