Darcy Is Due Tuesday;
Australian on Atlantic

New York. Dec. %. - Unless storms
and shipwrecks intervene to delay his
boat or cast him up on desert islands,
Les Darcy, the mystery of the Atlantic.
will plant his feet in this city some
time next Tuesday. This information
leaked out yesterday, and, although
Tex Rickard would not confirm 1t, he
let it be known he was certain of the
Australian fighters arrival next week
Rickard has been in wireless COM
munication with Darcy several times
since he started the wild scramble for
bouts by announcing his intention to
match Georges Carpenter with some
one. He knows the boat on which
Darcy is a passenger or a sailor. and
says that when the proper times comes
he will let the public in on his Sc
cret.
Considering the number of self-con-
fessed managers for Darcy, it is too
bad the day of his arrival should be-
come known, for the antipodean
champion doesn't like crowds, and
crowd" would be a poor description
for the gathering that will be on hand
to look after Darcy's interests.
Richard is uncertain as to the prob
able opponent of Darcy. The perform
ance of Jack Dillon and Billy Miske
Tuesday night left no choosing be-
tween those scrappers, and Rickard
believes Mike Gibbons would be a
splendid adversary for the visitor.

probably both towns, in the league for

is not in favor of cutting the schedule

to reducing the number of 25-cent

proposal will be discussed at the

do as it sees fit regarding reducing the
number of cheap seats. but we will not

spend more than 25 cents of the privi-
