Chilean Fighter Crossed Half Globe To Meet Firpo Bui Luis Angel, Wild Bull of Pampas, Has Studious! vj Sliumied Chilean Heavyweight und That's W hy Bickard Is After Him for Jack Dempeey By ALFRED MAYER CM>ri?At, 1924, fey Th? Ad??nc? New York, Feb. 28 ? If there I lies a boxing champion hidden in . the vast South American continent,! Tex Ricard will undoubtedly un-J earth him and bring him to Madison Garden so that the innocents can, gazt at him. The last threatened! importation 13 no less a person! than the heavyweight champion of ' Chile ? Senor Quintin Romero-1 Rojas. According to Tex Rickard, he has offered "Romero three matches,! one against Floyd Johnson, one! against Fred Fulton and finally </rie against' Jack Renault, if Romero; succeeds in defeating these men t impressively, and "impressively" in boxing circles means by a knockout.' then Romero is to be given a match! with Jack Dempsey. Why ull the excitement about this Romero person? Who is he and what has he done? Ills first claim ' to fame is that he has traveled half way across the world to obtain a match with Luis Firpo. The latter has already refused to1 meet him, and only recently the boxing com mission of Iiuenos Aires declared1 that unless Firpo accepted Romero's i challenge, Firpo's South American 1 title of heavyweight champion1 would be takef. away from him. It cannot bf$ said that the "wild bull of tho Pampas" is afraid of Romero, yet whatever is the. reason, no amount of talking has yet suc ceeded in bringing these two to gether. Perhaps a real line can be better obtained on Quintln-Roia&J from hts ex-manager who taught him practically all he knows about boxing, and now manages the Chilean lightweight champion, Luisi Vicenilnl. Dersac. discussing Ro mero. immediately commented upon the Chilean's good nature. "Quintiit is Just a good natured boy who loves fighting and spends all his money upon his wife, his young daughter and the rest of the family" said Bersac, "I trained and managed Quintin for some years, in fact it was under my 'manage ment that he became Chilean heavy weight champion. Unfortunately I had to give him up because Vicen tini looked like a much better pros pect for me. I wouldn't take both Vincentlnf and Quintin to America so I to k Vincentlnl. Meanwhile Quintin went to France and did very well. His greatest achievement was knocking out Marcel Xilles in four rounds. It took Carpentier eight round- to do the same thing and, according to tl.ose who witnessed the fight, it was not such an im pressive victory as Qulntin's. I must say I felt surprised at Quintln's victory. He always was an aggressive fighter and very courageous and exceeding strong. If Quintin has improved, as h<* must have done, xslnce I left South Amer ica, then he is a dangerous man and should make a big name for himself over here. "He is ^ years old and has three brothers. All of them are boxers, one a light weight, another a middleweight and yet another a heavyweight. His brothers, however, while they are sufficiently good t</ make a living at the boxing game in Chile, wouldn't be regarded as anything exceptional in this coun try. At presen Quintin is managed by A. Echevarria. a Chilean who was living in Paris and whom Quin tin met there. "His trainer is Oasquet who trained Georges Carpentier for a number of years and who, according to his statements in a letter a few days ago, believes that Quintin Is a far better fighter than Carpentier was. Quintin began work In the nitrate mines In Chile. A local promoter watching a gang c/f men at work one day noticed young Quin tin. who was carrying two hags of nitrates, one under each arm. Those bags weighed more than 100 pounds each. This resulted in Quintin ob taining his first Job as a strong man in a local music hall. Later he took up boxing."

California, is tlu? private home of the Chicago National League jclub, ha vine; been acquired by a gen tleman wln? is part owner of the., club. He is so impressed with j keeping the ball players sequester- j ed during the spring of the year! that he imports them annually from all parts of the United States to get1, iu condition among his own moun- , tains, by fishing for small whales | and rowing over the completely sur-, rounding Pacific Ocean in glass bot-i tomed boats. It is held that a glass bottomed! bout is the only article of glass that' is really homogenous for spring training. Some ball players have thought differently in the past but once introduced to the wonders they see in the Catalina deep neever feel the -same again .toward pink ele phants and lavender colored hum ming birds trimmed with green wings and gold dots. There is nothing it t Santa Catali na that is common and many things that are extraordinary. From tliel cliffs the most beautiful views may j be had toward the mainland but it! is so far away to the mainland that no player seeks to row to It. There is also danger in case rowing were tried that the player would be in oculated with the mal de mer j which is another name for losing all I desire to live. No player feels that | way with the first salary day ap proaching. The field on which the Cubs per form is admirable. There are no I late editions of afternoon papers to distract their thoughts from making lu/me runs when practice is on. The Cubs practice later than any i team in the United States. They are not responsible for that. It is 1 because they are nearer to Japan, nl j though none of them are anxious to . be a Japanese star since the- dls * quieting desire of Japan to crumble .up and slip back into the Pacific Ocean. All trips to Japan have been l declared off until the plumbing of I the Pacific is bettered. There is littlo weather at Santa j Catalina. There is plenty of golf.
