Fans Want Les Darcy to Give

Before Investing
BY II. o. Hamilton.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Dec. 29.-Pressuge ON Les
Darcy to get busy and show the United
States how heavy his ham-ike hands
are is gradually growing stronger in
New York Newspapers and the pub
m are insisting that the Australian
champion show his wares before they
pay HIM too much homage.
Darcy and Tex Richard. his "kipnap-
er.' have said nothing will be done un-
til definite word of the intention of
Georges Carpenter, the French cham
pion. Is leceivd. The Fact that Car
pentiers may not be allowed to visit the
United States, or that he may be long
delayed, is making New York rest
less
Fight followers wouldn t care much
whom Darcy was sent against in his in
iiial encounter. He could make sar-
dine can out of any enclosure, the
packed fish to be persons who want
to see how he fights and if he really
can hook 'em dead as easily as has been
reported
Riekard always has been credited
with being about jump ahead of the
average promoter in sensing public SEN
timent II is likely to develop, there
fore, will Send Darcy out to earn a few
nickels without the aid Of Georges Car
pentier.
Jeff Smith has come forward with an
offer to battle Darcy for nothing, the
Australian to add $12,500 to his bank
account for trouble. George Chip also
wants to take another chance and there
are any number of others who would
like to see what they can do.

Pasadena. Cal, Dec. 29.-Although
both the Pennsylvania and Oregon Uni
versity teams are working hard de-
spite the downpour Of rain, continua-
tion of the showers is almost certain

Pennsylvania is a favOritc in the

right at home in the mud, and still
more helped on a sloppy field by su'
perior weight, a change in betting is
not improbable.
The Oregonians don I care how hard
it rains. The Pasadena Tournament

he game, isn't worrying either, fol
Lloyds of London has just insured
them against rain, betting $4,000 a
