LES DARCY HESITATES
Australian Unwilling to Fight in
United States.
Hfnted That Middle weight Would
Come If Guaranteed Lump Sum
for Series of b 1ts-Would
Have to Meet Gibbons.

They still are trying to tempt Les
Darcy, the Australian middleweight
sensation, to come to America.
Despite all the talk of the Australian
crack being forced into the army he
Is said to have limited that he might
make the trip provided that he was
guaranteed lump sum for series Of
bouts and the money was placed in the
bank before he sailed.
There is growing suspicion that
Darcy has no great inclination to come
here, but could be induced to take the
chance if guaranteed q fortune, win
or lose. Other Australian boxers OF
lesser note have no trouble in leav1
ing the country and it seems strange
that an exception should be made in
his case.
1t may be that the real reason for
Darcy's hesitation is that if he came
here he would have to meet Mike
Gibbons and Jack Dillon, two men who
would be far more dangerous than any
he has encountered so far In his re-
markable career. Considering his
youth and inexperience Darcy has
done wonders, but it is q fact that the
men he has defeated were more or less
back numbers.

Just at present he is one of the pOpu-

bit of the praise bestowed upon him
is deserved.

CHANGES IN FOOTBALL CODE
Referee Has Power to Award Toueh1
down In Case Foul Is Committed
Preventing a Score.

Changes Of Importance in the college
football code In effect this season are !!
The referee has power to award a
touchdown to the offending side in
case foul Is committed which pre-
vents a score. If a team comes on
the field late the other team can
choose the goal. If the kickoff goes
into the crowd or stand 1t is a touch
back. If blocked kick goes into the
stand 1t is safety. Players do not
have to wear numbers for the pleasure
or instruction of the public.

COTTON CROP WILL

conditions of the crop on September

last month, COS per cent last year,
and G7.2 per cent. the ten-year aver
age condition on September %.
The ginning Of the cotton crop Is
breaking all records. Announcement
today by the Cencus Bureau that
lOG2, ,991 bales had been ginned from
this years crop prior to September
%, disclosed that all former totals for
ginning to that date had been ex-
eeded, even that Of 191b, when the

Stoms and insect damage wOught
havoc with the cotton crop this year,
and caused loss Of nearly 100000

Indications aer that this years

WHY ADVERTISING PAYS.

Everybody reads the ads and near
ly everybody remembers what they
read.
Mrs Jones remarks to Mrs. Smith
that she simply must 80 to the store
and get new dress pattern. or n
winter coat. or possibly new hat.
Mrs, Smith has read Of the latest
creations mt some store and imme-
diately springs her knowledge upon
Mrs. Jones. who simply can't resist
tbe termination to go and see for her
self. Once there. she generally buys.
Farmer Hankinson needs new
harness. or a plow, or some other I'M
plement for progressive farming
His neighbor has read the upto-date
ad of the implement house in the To-
cal paper and incidentally mentions
that So-and-So carries 4 good artlcle'
which he is advertising quite heavily.
This excites Farmer HankinSon's
curiosity and he Just drops in to see
t." He. too, often ends with buy.
The woman'S club, or the sewing
circle, or the pink tea ladies get TO-
yether and spend the afternoon or
evening in gathering up stray bits OF
information. Anything that has at-
tracted the eye of any member comes
IN for discussion. and nothing Is
more dear To their hearts than those
delightful things that were adVer-
tised i'm the last issue of the paper
OF course they all want to know
about them. and then they must see
them, and in the end they buy them.
Bill Doolittle wants a new over
.,oat, and the well written overcoat
nd never gets by him. He drops III
and looks over the coats Of which the
merchant has spoken so glowingly.
They are as represented. and he
huys.
Vest. they all read the ads, and
hey talk about the goods they read
,hout. and they buy when they are
sufficiently interested to talk about
them.
OF course advertising pays. Every
hody knows it pays.
