Few Good Boxers In Game
Today at This Weight,
LES DARCY LOOKS* BEST.
With Mik« Gibbons In Poor Form and
Jimmy Clabby and Eddia McGoorty
In Ratirament, Australian Appaars to
Be tha Class.
If fear of Mike Gibbons bad anything
to do with the fact that Les Darcy has
turned down so many alluring offers to
come to this country the Australian
crack may change his mind wheu he
reads about the recent Lewis-Gibbons
bout in New York. Australians kuow
Lewis very well, for he spent several
months in the antipodes less than two
years ago, when he was outpointed by
Herb McCoy, the Australian light
weight. Naturally they will figure that
if Lewis could hold his own with the
St. Paul middleweight the latter can
not be as dangerous as they had been
led to suspect
As time goes on it begins to look ns
though Darcy will have an easy time
of it winning the middleweight cham
pionship, provided the war comes to an
end in the near future and he does not
outgrow the class in the meantime.
The latest reports from Australia are
that both Jimmy Clabby and Eddie Mc
Goorty have retired from the ring to
follow the race track. That leaves
George Chip as the only American mid
dleweight with the least trace of class
to oppose Gibbons for the American
title, and if Gibbous cannot do any bet
ter than he did against Lewis be should
be easy for the Australian.
it is now sis years since the middle
weight class had a recognized cham
pion. During that time several have
claimed the honors, but none has been
able to fulfill all the requirements.
Right now the supply of high class
i midd'.eweights is smaller than ever be
fore, and if Darcy is half as good as
his countrymen rate him he will en
counter very little opposition when he
comes this way.
Over in Australia boxing critics ridi
cule the claims of Gibbous to the Amer
ican title on the ground that he never
has taken part in anything but no deci
sion bouts over the ten round distance.
They want to know how Gibbons can
win a title in that way when I’reddie
Welsh caunot lose his, although often
defeated on a point basis
I Snowy Baker says he wants to cor
| rect the mistaken idea that Darcy no
! longer is a real middleweight. The pro
11 moter declares Darcy only scaled 157
| pounds in his second bout with George
Brown and is not likely to grow heav
' ier, as he has reached his full develop
■ ment. He says that while Darcy has
met many heavyweights that was ouly
i because there are no middleweights in
Australia who can make things inter
esting for him.
SENTIMENT IN BASEBALL
Chicago Club Will Always Keep Walsh
on the Payroll.
It Is unnecessary to say that Ed
Walsh was in his day one of the great
est pitchers the game ever produced.
He was a real iron man and year after
year kept his team in the race by work
ing out of turn, finishing games which
other teammates placed in Jeopardy
and making himself as useful as possi
ble In the best Interests of his team.
But eventually the strain told on his
pitching arm. He failed and then -
could not come bqck. He has been con
stantly on the payroll of the club, how
ever. and will continue as one of its
members for years to come, though he
is a questionable asset, simply because
he delivered for his employers In the :
days of old. But he deserves consider
ation and puy for the remainder of his
days.
Yes, there is sentiment still In base
ball and this case of Walsh demon
strates it very plainly.
