By HAROLD BAKER
TTHE fight game has such a hold on
the Australians that they have
become perhaps. the most critical
and the most eNpert-judees OF fight
CTS IN the world And so a referee who
doesn't watch every move of the fight
crs and who fails 10 render absolutely
fair verdicts finds himself very unpopu-
lar.
One of the most important. fights.
with the most thrilling aftermath I
ever decided was the one that marked
the first important appearance Of Les
Darcy in Sydney. Darcy had made
great reputation among the small fry"
fighters in the smaller towns Then he
was matched with Fritz Holland an
American. and I was named as referee.
Almost the whole town OF New Castle
came TO see its idol in action. and il bet
heavily that Darcy would be the victor.
But Darcy. in that fight although
showing remarkable promise. put up
rather green" exhibition Holland
wasn't a wonder. but in that battle ne
showed ne was bit better than Les
And so when The Goth round was over.

The second game of the day was one
OF the best OF the present Army league
series. resulting finally in the defeat
OF the Eighth cavalry BY the Fifth
Field artillery. 3 10 T. In the early
innings II was rather dun. but in the
last two or three innings the teams
came TO life and the play was fast and
snappy- Boneheads by several OF the
artllerymen in the second inning lost
them several runs. and might have
cost them the game before they
seemed 10 learn that two or three men
couldn't occupy the same base at one
time.
a rally by the Eighth in the fifth
inning brought them three runs, and
another in the seventh started by
bringing them one. but they were both
squelched" in time to save the artil-
lcry. Bentley and Nidmer came to the
rescue in the fifth inning and relieved
Heyder and Bothne as batteries. and
this also helped TO make tile game
faster. but it was not in time TO save
the day for the cavalry. The score:
