DARCY-N' GOORTY.
BATTLE PLANNED.
McGoorty Has Agreed to
Make $50 Pounds, Ring
side, for Australian.
BY +. 5. ANDREWS.

Milwaukee. Wis. Nov. 22.-It is very
likely that Les Darcy and Eddie Nc
Goorty, the middleweight who was de-
1eated recently by Darcy in Australia,
Will get together again in Sydney some
time In December I have Just re-
ceived word from Sydney that Nc
Goorty has agreed 10 make 100 pounds
ringside for a return battle with the
Australian champion If McGOOrty is
properly trained he should be able 10
make 100 pounds very nicely, providing
ne has not taken on lot of weight
since he left this country. for he made
15S pounds very easily for Mike Glib
bons, in fact. he weighed only 155 at
the time II McGOOrty is strong AT the
weight, there are many here who think
he will defeat the Australian in their
second kneeting- Darcy has been COM
ing along at top speed, following up
his defeat by McGOOrry. by whipping
Billy Murray. Jimmie Clabby and Fred
Dyer, the English middleweight
Ahearn Would Fight Gibbons.
1OunE Ahearn. who holds q Euro
pean championship and is also after the
American title OF middleweight cham
pion, is very anxious TO get on a match
with Nike Gibbons and he would also
ike 10 meet JACK Dillon, providing the
latter VIII make 15S pounds for him
II is all right for some of them TO talk
about Dillon making 15S pounds at 3
o'clock at fighting for the middle
weight Championship, but a man who
ways in pretty fair condition. viii find
il next TO impossible to get down 10
lbs pounds and be fit to put up a bat
tie. especially for a chamDfonshfD
There was A time, about two years ago.
when Dillon could make 15S pounds
without any trouble. but it is a pretty
good bet now that he could not DO so
and do justice TO himself Therefore
Dillon should be content to wear the
light heavyweight crown and let the /
others fight ii out for the middieweight /
championship. I
Harley Tommy ReappearS- ,
Harlem Tommy Murphy. who was (
supposed to be out Of the game for ,
good. made his temperance in the I
ring against Willie Jones Of Brooklyn, I
in 10 round contest before the Van
derbilt Athletic club in New York Muir I
ply is still able to do the lightweight /
limit very nicely, having scaled 135 !
pounds without any trouble Tom
showed that he has not forgotten any I
Of his cleverness. BY defeating Jones ]
without great deal Of trouble. His 4
long absence from the ring. however. I
made quite a difference in his judge Of :
distance. but at that he was too much I
fixed financially and it is not likely
that he viii linger much longer as q {
star OF the rOped arena, although he ;
may be induced occasionally to enter /
the ring, for he seems to like it as well 4
as any Of the tOpnotchers- He was con-
sidered a championship possibility q I
few years ago. but he is past that stage
now and must be content to remain 4
with the same class as Leach Cross, Ad /
WOlgast and others
Kay Is Australian WeIter.
Fred Kay, the Australian lightweight,
has gone into the welterweight division
and is now champion Of that country.
Kay and Herbert Mccoy. the latter be-
ing the lightweight champion. having
defeated Hughie Michigan some time
ago, were matched at Melbourne for the
welterweight championship Of Austria
liza and after a hard battle Of 20 rounds,
Kay was declared the winner on points. I
It is evident that Mccoy has got too
heavy for the lightweight division. The
week following. Joe Bonds. the Ameri-
can heavyweight. who is in Australia
with Jack kearns. was defeated in 20 I
rounds by Harry Reeves, the English
heavyweight Frank Thorn. feather
weight champion Of Australia. made q
wonderful comeback in a match against
Jack Clune, well known lightweight /
over there, securing a cleancut victory |
by putting Clune out in nine rounds.
Fulton Was Scared Ont.
Fred Fulton, the Minnesota heavy
weight, tells how Billy Mccartney, man
ager Of Carl Morris, once got his goat {
proper. Morris and Fulton were matched
TO box ten rounds in April of 1914 at
Hudson Wis. At that time Morris was l
one OF the best white hopes
in the country. while Fulton was 4 nov
Ice AZ the game. In fact. il was the
llIst ulne lnaJ ne ever tackled any one
Of prominence.
McCarney's Line OF Talk.
After getting into the ring. Fulton
was sitting in his corner and Billy Nc |
Carney walked over to where he was to ]
see that the gloves were nut on without
any horseshoes inside While adjusting
the gloves. Mccartney said to Fred:
4 always like to use the largest !
gloves possible, Fred. because you know
this fellow is a terrible hitter and
cannot get over thinking about how |
Luther Mccarthy was killed"
Fulton glanced up at Mccartney and /
he appeared to be very earnest in what
he was saying. Fred did not respond. |
1ut Mccartney came back with another |
1ne-
Here, Fred. get all the padding you
an around the knuckles. because you
know Norris has a pretty hard head I
VIII see that all the padding is put I'm
he 'front.' part Of Morris gloves. be-
'ause I do not want him to hurt YOU
when he puts you down"
Was Too Nervous to Fight.
This line Of conversation was con-
inued by Mccartney until the gloves
