/ SYDNEY, Australia. Aug. 23.-The
new bunch of American boxers-five
of them. with Manager Jimmy Dime
as a sixth personage-are creating
much interest in Australia. They are
the heavyweight, Tom Mcmahon. the
1S0-pounder, credited with a decision
over Jess Willard; George Chip. mid
dleweight, and his brother Joe, who
fights In the same division; light
weight Babe Picato, whose brother
Frank, though now past his fighting
days, Is well liked in Australia: and
the odd man of the ring" Patsy Bran
nigan. featherweight These five boys
all started, training this week for the
miscellany OF events in front Of them.
Chip Viii Meet Darcy First
George Chips first fight will be
with Les Darcy, and will take place
during September. He promises to
do much better than some of the
Others, and probably has some ex-
lpectation Of winning. though Austria
liza doesn't believe there is middle
weight in the world capable Of doing
that.
OF the others, Babe Picato viii have
an early fight with the Australian
lightweight champion, Herb. Mccoy.
Joe Chip will meet Mick King. who
was our middleweight champion, and
last week went through 20 rounds with
Buck Grouse, though beaten on points.
There are any number. Of feather.
weights available for Brannigan. and
HIS first opponent has not yet been
picked out of that regiment. Heavy
weights Of any value are few and far
between In Australia, and It is pos
sible that Mcmahon will wait for an
engagement with Darcy. after the lat
ter's conflicts with Chip and Clabby.
ciabby's Hat In the Ring
Jimmy Clabby, U. s. A.. race-horse
owner, bookmaker and gloye-fighter,
is definitely about to resume the third
of these professions; and If present
fixation OF dates holds good, Sept. 8,
he will have tonight Les Darcy just
after this mail reaches American
shores. In their last conflict the Aus
tralian champion was the winner on
points, but Jimmy's chances looked
better than those of any other man
whom Darcy has dealt with The
tsharpest judges of the game in Aus
tralia all concede that of all the mid
dleweight bunch who have fought
here, Clabby. with his Infinite clever
ness. is the one who is most likely
to shake Darcy's claif to be cham
pion Of the world. This win be about
the biggest match Of the year, from
the point of view of public interest.
Eddie McGoorty is also In training I
but his round face and figure reveal
that 1t will take him some time to get
ready. His prospective opponent is
the Australian heavyweight, Colin
Bell. McGoorty asked for two months
notice to come into proper trim, and
the date of the match Is vaguely nam
ed as somewhere In October,
Darcy Very Busy

division as freely as Darcy. does. One
by one the Americans and Austral-
ians have come against him-Jeff
Smith, McGoorthy, Clabby. Geo. tK.O.)
Brown. the comic Costica, Dave
Smith. Geo. Chip, Billy Murray -
and he has been willing to give them
one fight or two, as they pleased. He
has no sooner disposed of Grouse and
Smith than he accepts engagements
with Clabby and Chip. No side-step-
ping about this hefty young smiter.
Anybody of the middle division who
comes into Australia will find him
ready and willing.
