BY RINGsIDE.

Wv YORK. Nov. 1s.-Two divis-
M ions have commandeered all the
attention OF the boxing COM
munity since the inauguration Of the
Iail campaign two months ago. These
are the middleweight and light heavy
weight classes.
Never before IN the history Of the
game has there been such a surfeit of
formidable combatants in any two d.
visions of pugilism. As a result of this
state Of affairs. interest has been
diminishing space in the five other
classes-bantam, feather, light. weller
and heavy.
The old regime OF middleweights is
rapidly dying out. Les Darcy. the
Australian prototype Of Bob Fitz7im-
mons. accounted for the elimination of
the four real veterans of the middle
weight clan His decisive victories
over Eddie McGoorty. George Chip.
Jimmy Clabby and Duck Crousex put
