Les Darcy Australian MiddIeweisht
Champion, Witnessed 1t.

New York, Jan. Lies Darcy, the
Australian middleweight champion,
witnessed his first ring contest in
America n Brooklyn today. He sat n
a ringside box keeping close watch
while Billy Miske of st. Paul and
George CKnockout) Brown of Chicago
went through ten rounds of hard
fighting during which the st. Paul
man gave the Chicagoan a beating in
eight of the ten rounds. Miske, who
ct for Darcy the near future, had the
advantage of height, reach and five
pounds in weight, but Brown with
stood terrific punishment after the
first two rounds which he had won
and was still fighting gamely when
the finishing gong rang.
In the sixth round Miske landed a
right swinging uppercut udner
Browns jaw but the Chicago man
clinched and stalled out the round al
thuogh groggy. In the following round
he took three short-arm jolts in the
same place besides some hard blows
to the body, but Miske could not get
his right over for knockout.
1.-THE arrangements here are rather
strange to me-" said Darcy. You see
both smoking and coaching from the
corners are absolutely prohibited in
and the men in the ring must be
weakened by inhaling such a smoke
laden atmosphere.

brotherhoods, the railroads of the coun-
try and the general public have been
invited to appear before the commit
tee by Chairman Newlands to express
their views on the presidents propos-
ais and suggestions that have been
made by members Of CONFESS. The at

known to be antagonistic to the presi-
dents recommendation that congress
enact law which would make rail-
road strikes unlawful pending a Pc

an official board of inquiry should
mediation by a board of Cancellation
fail to settle threatened trouble Rail-
road employees say that such a law,
modelled after the Canadian disputes
act, would mean compulsory arbitra-
ton and involuntary servitude and
that it would operate as legal ban on
the right to strike.
Alternative suggestion is expected in
the form OF a law which would pro-
vide for compulsory investigation of
disputes between railroad managers
and their employees, but which would
not deny the right to strike pending
outcome of an inquiry.
Besides the original arbitration and
strike prevention bill which the pres

The 1917 baseball season is to open

The Yankees are scheduled to make
their start at Philadelphia, and this

will be as follows: Phi11ies VS.. Braves

Decoration Day and Labor Day, while
the Yankees must be content with one

American League schedule, as he has
done for some years past, while the

lar cases have been deliberately with
held. The executive committee has
been silent all the way through be-
cause it believed that the forum for
the discussions of these matters was
the convention itself rather than the
public press. 1t was for these reasons
that in its notice announcing the an

whether the game of golf shall be
maintained upon the principles of

extremely simple and the delegates
must align themselves upon one side

sports sake or sport for gain. and no
attempt to cloud the issue by crafty
pleading or extravagant verbiage will
avail in the last analysis to shift the
two propositions

amateur sport is to a certain extent

will therefore be watched with the
keenest interest throughout the coun-
