at his death in 1910, may find new
resting place this winter.
Since Ketchell was killed in a little

the title. None has ever stood far
enough above the lot to successfully
take and hold it.

American Wins
Honor Cross

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE cross of the
legion of honor was pinned on the
breast of Norman Prince, a young
American aviator, as he lay on his
death bed in the hospital at Gerard
mer, Vosges.
Prince had taken part in a
stirring fight following one of the
Allies air raids and, although wound
ed, remained in the air coolly facing
the fire of the German machine
guns. In attempting to land, he
struck an aerial cable and was pick
ed up unconscious.
He died of injuries to the head.

He has gone outside of his class and
taken on men of far greater weight.
His tearing, slashing style of fight
ing is mixed with just enough good
boxing to make him dangerous to any
opponent.
Les Darcy is also of the fighting
type. His victories over George Chip,
Eddie McGoorty, Jimmie Clabby,
Knockout Brown and a number of
others are the best testimonials Of
his skill.

Les Darcy is head and shoulders above

Promoters are now trying to make
match between the Hoosier bearcat
and the Australian blacksmith.
Both men are a little over the rec
ognized middleweight limit, if this is
taken at 158 pounds, but in the pres
ent days of raising weight limits to
accommodate fighters this probably
would not prove much of a stumbling
block.

not be imagined.
