good man despite Al Lippe's state
ments that Jeff Smith was robbed
when he met Darcy Les, in any
event, whipped Jimmy Clabby. one of
our very best middleweights, and this,
on top of the fact that he knocked
out Eddie McGoorty some time ago
would seem to indicate that Darcy

strong desire to get Darcy over here
The real sports want to see the Aus
tralian fight, but it is rumored that
a few wolves are waiting TO sheer

make a pile of money. but if he is
wise fellow he will bring his own
manager with him. and he will make
sure of his purse wherever he fights.

In just the same lively style that
has marked all its predecessors. the
eighth annual renewal of the Eve
ming Star Headpin Tournament was
celebrated on the Iroquois alleys last

simple but effective emphasis on the
popularity of the affair. "Belleville

lot of hard work on their shoulders
and they attended to their duties in
good style. Mayor John H. Waters
was delayed last night and could not
roll the first ball. He arrived late
in the evening, however, and took
part in the competition. A good many
of Belleville's leading citizens were
also on hand.
