DARCY LEAVES
AUSTRALIA FOR
i. s. INVASION
Antipodean Middleweight on
Way to America, Accord
ing to Reports

It seems probable now that Les Darcy,
the Australian middeweight, will pay
visit to this country. The source of this
information is Fred Dyer, another Aus
tralian, who has received letter from a
friends in Australia, in which it was said
that Darcy would sail next week for
America" According to this news Darcy
is already on the water on his way to this
country. The letter also contained the news
that Darcy was leaving Sydney, Australia
for San Francisco, where he would meet
Jack keans, his American manager
Many boxing promoters in this country
have displayed an eagerness to get Darcy
to come to the United States and some
good offers have been made. The Aus
tralian's feat in twice knocking out Eddie
McGoorty, who was looked upon as a
legitimate contender for the worlds mid
dlewelght hcnors, convinced promoters on
this side of the ocean that he was boxer
of ability.
All attempts, however, to induce the Aus
tralian to come to this country have failed
because of the war and the fact that Is
eligible for military duty. The last heard
from Darcy was that he had enlisted and
was training in the aviation corps, 1t was
understood recently that heavy bond
guaranteeing Darcy's return to Australia
after he had contested in series of bouts
In this country, had been refused consdera-
tion by Australian officials.
If the Information contained in the letter
to Dyer is authentic, American enthusiasts
OF boxing can look forward to match be-
tween Mike Gibbons, the st. Paul boxer, and
Darcy. Attempts by promoters on both
sides of the ocean to obtain a match be
tween these two boxers have, failed 1t
has been announced several times that the
St. Paul boxer was intending to make the
trip to Australia for a match with Darcy
but the Australian promoters have failed to
come up to Gibbons requirements.

HAGEN MAKES BEST
 SCORE IN WESTERN
 GOLF TOURNAMENT
Rochester Professional Has Only One Stroke to
 Spare Over George Sargent

Milwaukee, August 1s.-Walter Ha- gen, professional of Rocheter N. Y, to- day added the western open golf cham pionship to his list of honors by com pleting the 72-hole medal contest on the Blue Mound Country club links in 2S6 strokes. This score equals that made by Chick Evans of Chicago in winning the national open title at Minneapolis re- gently, establishing a record for 72 holes in national competition. flag en recently won the metropolitan cham pionship, and three years ago won the national title.
 Hagen had only one stroke to spare, as George Sargent of Minneapolis and Jack Hutchinson of Pitttsburg tied for second place with 2S7. George O. Simp- son of Oak Park club, Chicago, and James Barnes of Philadelphia followed with 28S each. These five men won all the prizes as Simpson, with a wonder full 66 in the third round this forenoon, took the special prize for best score during the tournament and established a record for the 5910-yard course.
 Hagen stepped to the seventeenth tee, knowing that he had to make two fours to win. He drove PTS yards straight down the hilly fairway and pitched to the far side of the blind green. His 30- foot putt was dead and he made the required score. On the eighteenth tee Hagen took his cleek and drove 200 yards straight for the pin over the tricky swales and uphill, stopping 30 yards short of the pin. His approach was 20 feet short but his third shot was within IS inches of the hole and he made the second necessary four for the

Amateurs in Double Bill
 At RiCRwOOd Field To-day

The third stanza of the city elimina- ton series to determine the amateur champions of Birmingham will be of fered this afternoon at Redwood field when the Viva team, the pennant win ners of the Central league, hook up in a double header with the strong Avon dale Mills team, pennant winners of the Greater Birmingham league. The first game is scheduled to start at 2:15 o'clock, and will probably last the full nine 1n- nings. The second fracas will be limited to seven sessions.
 Avondale is generally favored to win the double offering chiefly because of the pitching strength of Smoky Bob Love less. The bottlers are confident that they will be able to get as much as an even break if not more. The games promise to be among the best of the series. Both teams have one defeat credited against them thus far in the worlds series," and hard battle will be waged by both.
 Loveless will be on the hill for the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-08-19

Millers in both contests. The Millers' lone hope is that Smoky Bob will be able to hold the heavy hitters of the Viva nine in check. Should Loveless tire before both ends of the double bill are com pleted, Hill will be used. Manager Car roll and Coach Whitehead will use Ellis and Riddle in the double offering.
 The officials of the Viva nine are not discouraged over the showing the bot tiers made Thursday against the Dodgers and contend that the poor showing was alone due to stage" fright. The bottlers operate well on the paths, in fact, better than any amateur nine seen in action this season. Coach Whitehead shows he has some tricky plays he will uncover before the final game is played.
 The games this afternoon will probably witness two evenly matched teams in action. Although the Millers are sup posed to have the better of the argument with the bottlers in pitching strength alone, speedy work on the paths will off set this handicap. Harry Stradford and McDermott will umpire. A large attend ance is looked for

Crackers not met defeat and the Look outs tied, however, the win would not
 have advanced the Barons in the stand
 ing, although it would have had the same effect on the percentage column
 Moley and his crew are exactly nine
 games in the rear of the New Orleans
 Pelicans who hold the second place. The
 margin is a great one, and Moley will
 have to do some winning to lift his squad
 to such a standing. The Vols, leading the league are three full games ahead of the Pels. Thus, the Barons are 12 full
 games from the top of the ladder, the nearest they have been since the first week of the season.
 The Barons are half a game ah> ad of the Crackers, and the same margin in the fore of the Travellers, who, by virtue of their win yesterday, tied the Frankmen for fourth place. The Lookouts are at the same distance in the rear of the Bar ons. The Chicks, suffering two consecu- tive defeats from the Barons, and two from the Gulls, are in seventh place, two full games in the rear of the MoleyS. The Gulls are hopelessly bringing up tho rear. To be exact, the former Schmidt
 men are 15 full games below the local nine.
 TEAM GOING GOOD Moey has the local team going at
 break neck speed at the present, and the burch stands an excellent chance to grab firm footing in the third position Emil Meusel is one of the greatest factors in the present drive of the Barons, the big outfielder slamming the pill at 321 clip and batting fourth in the leagues list of heavy sluggers. Danny Clark must also be given his share of the pie, for Danny. too, has been mighty generous of late In delivery in the pinch.
 In fact, the entire team is playing fine ball The pitchers are going swell, and | it appears that Moley has finally got his aggregation into perfect working order. The Barons have played eight games this | week and six of the struggles, the Moleys have come throuh with flying colors. Baseballs funny thing, and the Barons | may be defeated today but the Moleys are certainly playing jam-up ball at the present.
