...JAMES M. SMITH, a leathery, 70-year-old cattleman was well into his second week of publishing the Arizona Journal. Phoenix has seen this masthead before.

When Dempsey later visited Firpo, who became a wealthy cattleman, with 10,000 head on six Argentine ranches, he commented: "When a boxer leaves the ring ... he has lost the fight. In my heart, Firpo was world champion of all weights...
