Jin. 22 Not ona cent more than $200,000 will Luis Firpo get out of me for fighting Harry Wills," Tex Rickard said today. After a cash layout of $200,000 as one of three propositions had been made to the South American, Rickard learned that the Angel was getting ready to use the crusher" on him.

"If Firpo can get $250,000 or $308,. 000 from gome other promoter." Rickard said, "he will be foolish if he does not secept the beat offer. My best price has been named. "Firpo is worth $200,000 and not a cent more. I believe I have always known what a fighter ts worth in the ring and I havent under-estimated the drawing power of Firpo.

"In discussing a Firpo-Wilis fight. It must be remembered that Wills Is worth something. It isn't similar to the case where Wills would be getting a direct shot at the title, in which case he might consider the opportunity of winning the championship as being worth something. Rickard agrees with Flrpos claim that he 1 free from the option that Rickard had on his services and the promoter is willing to have Firpo knock himself off to the highest bidder. Rickard already has made lit proposition to Wills for a Firpo fight and until something definite is heard from Firpo he cannot continue the negotiations with th colored challenger.

While Lenny Leonard la In no danger of losing hi lightweight crown, a couple of boys have come cut re I ct itly who may be able to at least help Leonard keep his business from suspending.

After Leonard polished off Lew Tendler so completely last summer and after Charley White bad been tapped on the chin, the lightweight champion was completely out of ee. tablished opponent. He was then facing the prospect of retiring and devoting hie time to the etage, a profession that appeals to him very strongly, or stepping Into the welterweight class. Just recently, however, two youngsters have come out who may dovelop Into challengers of sufflc- lent merit to bo built up for two flghto this summer Pal Moran th New Orleans light- weight seema to beTheloglcalcon- tender for tho title, If any promoter wants to assume tho liability of tho purse that Leonard wiR1 demand and expense of staging a big fight Showing Class Moran has been showing class for more than a year and be Jumped Into prominence when be knocked cut Charlie White last summer. White, you know, hasn't been on the canvas very many times.

Just a week ago, Moran stopped Johnny Ehugrue. It la true that Ehugrue isn't a topnotcher, but the lrapiessive part of Moran'a performances against him was the manner in which he won. The New Orleans boy Is a legitimate lightweight and he Is a strong, rugged boy. He has a fine fighting disposition, learns quickly and seems possessed of the most Ideal temperament for a fighter. Given a couple of good hard fights and he will be ready for a crack at the lightweight title.

At catch-weights no one believes that Moran would have a chance with Leonard, but there are many smart boxing men who believe that he would give the champion a real fight If Benny had to make the weigh Terrible Beating If the champion can make 136 pounds, as ho and bis manager, Billy Gibbons, Insist he can, it is most peculiar that be would not consent to step on the scales in public before the last fight vyltb Tendler. It will be remembered tbst the boxing commission would not per. mit the newspapermen to see Leonard and Tendler weigh ln for that fight, although the rules clearly provide that representatives cf the press must be admitted. Since then it has been said that Leonard and Tendler weighed 140 pounds, and that nothing was said about It because they were both over weight. Tendler, just a few days ago, passed out of the picture when he was given a terrible beating by opposition, it seems strange that Leonard had not stepped up into the welterweight class.

While Mickey Walker, the welter- weight champion, is held in low es- teem by the general run of boxing fans because he refuses to defend his title, yet it seems that Leonard must look upon him as a real fighter. Jack Britton, former champion 'said jf Walker and Leonard ever meet, be will bet a couple of his apartment houses that Leonard will be knocked out.
