LES DARCY COMING HERE
Great Australian Middleweight to
Meet Winner of Moran
Dillon Scrap.

NEW YORK, June 20.-Les Darcy, the
great Australian middleweight who has
made such cleanup in Australia,
sails for this country on the steamship
Sonoma June 81. He is due to arrive
in San Francisco about July 10, and
will come direct east.
American promoters, who are repre-
scented by Dan MeKetrick, have signed
Darcy for three matches. the first one
with the winner of the Dillon Moran
contest. which is to be decided before
the Washington Park Club, in Brook
Ign, June 20.
Jack Kearns represented the Ameri-
can syndicate at Sydney, and as soon
as Darcy affixed his signature to arti-
cles of agreement tickets were cabled
to him by the American Express Com
pany.
Darcy will be kept busy Immediately
Gibbons and Philadelphia Jack OBrien
are hot after a limited round bout.
OBrien Is likely to have the preference.
despite his age. In training his brother
and other boxers whom he has had
under his care he finds that he can go
six rounds at lightning pace. Hence
a six-round bout between Darcy and
O'Brien is being considered by the pro-
meters.
Gibbons has made such q Door show
ing in his New York bouts that the
syndicate fears taking a chance with
Mike. When a worlds championship
bout over a twenty -hve-round route is
suggested Gibbons does not relish the
idea.

The Washington Racing Pigeon Club
closed the most successful season Of its

here the pigeons were let go by H. L.

together with the humidity. made it a
foregone conclusion that there would
be no pigeons home by night. However.
the first surprise awaited E. D. Norris.

GR|FFMEN MAY Be FINED
Clubs Failure to Use johnson in
Chicago After Advertising Him
Causes Trouble.

CHICAGO, June 2o.-Aroused over the
Washington clubs failure to live up to
the announcement that Pitcher Walter
Johnson would be Ed Walsh's oppo-
nent in the game here last Tuesday.
President johnson of the American
League yesterday considered the infection
of a heavy fine on the club and the
sending of notices to other clubs that
such announcements must be lived up to.
One of the largest weekday crowds
Of the season attended the game. drawn
partly, 1t is presumed. by the news that
in Walsh's attempt to come back, John
son would oppose him. Just before the
game word was sent to the reporters
by Manager Griffith that because of the
illness Of Johnson's father-in-law, Rep
resentative Roberts of Kansas, he would
be unable to work.

Notwithstanding the poor showing Of
the Nationals at Detroit and Chicago,
the result of the games against the
four western clubs was not so disaS-
trous after all. The team nearly broke
even, and had it got the breaks in two
of the four games lost in Chicago
would have finished with more victories
than defeats. The three wins at ST.

1t would be rather remarkable, too, in
view of the games dropped during the
early part of the trip. AS a matter of
fact, that the. Nationals have held up
as well as they have In the face of the
defeats encountered at Boston, Detroit

The game which may give Eastern the
high school base ball championship was
scheduled to be played this afternoon
on the White Lot, Western opposing the
Capitol Hill nine in the last scheduled
contest in the series. The meeting of
the teams had been postponed several
times on account of wet weather.
Eastern has a half game lead on Cen

If it were to lose to Western the reg
ular schedule of the series would result
in tie between Central and it. Ii
Eastern is the victor it will finish in
front of the other teams, and the high
school title will be held on Capitol Hill
for the coming year.
Eastern undoubtedly will send Tom
lin. its pitching star, to the mound.
Tomlin has been the mainstay of the
Light Blue and White in all its con-
tests, his work in nearly every game
having been brilliant. Some of the
