srANDING OF THE CLUES.
DARCY IS CHAMPION
NO MORE in ANTIPODES
Elimination Battles Are Now Being
Held in Australia.

New York. May l9-"Snowy'' Baker,
the daddy of boxing in Australia, informs
US that as far as Australia Is concerned,
Lester Darcy is no kind OF champion
now.
When Darcy skipped out from the An
tipodes he was stripped of the middle
weight and heavyweight titles. He Is
no longer considered a champion, and
elimination battles are being held now
to decide these titles. Australians, after
hearing that Darcy had enlisted in the
United states army, expressed surprise,
but II they could know of the reverses
the Boy OF Maitland has met with in this
country they. would understand that II
was case OF necessity with Darcy.
Baker has uncovered a new heavy
weight by the name of Albert IIoyd.
who is said to be built like a Greek god.
and who has been moving down ali
comers. Darcy's middle weight crown Is
now being worn in Australia by Tommy
Uren. who has met and defeated both
Eddie McGoorty and Jimmy CIabbv.
Australians made McGoorty the favor
lite against Uren, according to Bakers
report, and were greatly surprised when
Uren won twenty-round battle from
Eddie by clean margin

President Comiskey said:
THE story is manufactured and IL Is

KILBANE STANDS OUT
FAR AHEAD OF CLASS
The Cleveland Lad Is in Division Of
His Own.

New York, May l9.-Better by far than
the hght-weight champion and king OF
all he surveys in the feather-weight di-
vision, Johnny Kilbane stands out today
supremely alone among the little fellows
of the ring.
He is in a class distinctly by himself.
and by rights he should be wearing two
pugilistic crowns. That honor has been
denied him because of the unjust laws
which have put the curse on decision
bouts, The victory scored by Kilbane
over Freddie Welsh was too clean cut
too decisive. to leave the shadow Of a
doubt regarding his class.
And that victory brought out strongly
the injustice Of no-decision boxing laws
for had Referee Billy Joh been per-
mitted to render decision the light
weight crown would be where II belongs
today-adorning the curly brow of the
little Clevelander.
Because of the law Welsh is still wear
ing the 1S3-pound skypiece, and. all argu-
ments in favor of no-decision bouts to
the contrary, they are curse to box
ing and an injustice to both boxers ana
the patrons of the game.
No-decision laws keep championships
from changing hands when they should
do so rightfully. And they permit cham
pions to hide and stall when they would
have to fight under conditions permitting
a decision. The boxing game without de-
cisions is much like a ship without
rudder-it is merely drifting along and
may hit q shoal any old time.
Not since the days of Joe Cans, Young
Griffo and Abe Attell-when he was prime
has n boxer OF Rjlbane's class sprung
up And in the opinion OF many old-time
boxing fans in New York, Kilbane Is
even better than the cleverest boys OF
the old days. The only question is his
punch, but in all other respects he is
marvellous boxer.
New Workers thought Freddie Welsh
was fast until they saw Kilbane against
him. Then Freddie looked about as fast
as a tombstone. The pace set by Kill
bane dazzled Welsh. He was bewildered
and desperate, and yet Kilbane could
have fought even faster than he did. He
simply toyed with Welsh, and the pity
of it Is that he did not knock the Welsh
man out. In a longer bout a Knockout,
with KiIbane delivering the wallop, would
be practically inevitable.
There is only one boxer in the business
now who really has the right to de-
mand a match with Kilbane-unless ne
is signed with Welsh for a return match
and that boxer is Benny Leonard That
Leonard is fast and clever enough TO
beat Kilbane is very. very doubtful But
he has a punch, and his performances en-
title him to some consideration.
A Leonard Kilbane bout would be worth
going miles to see, for Leonard would
fght-there is no question Of that-and
in this way he would bring out the best
there Is in the feather-weight champion.
Let's have that match.

penind Is far from an easy task.
or this reason the average manager
VINO steps into the boots Of retiring
pioS sets about to build up his own
inAchlne. and there are three instances
OF this kind in the National League to-
usy-tne cubs, Reds and Pirates.
When Fred Mitchell took hold Of the
reins az chicago he said he believed he
nad the nucleus for a winner He took
squad OF some forty players to the
coast this spring and weeded out the
ones Who looked best but for all OF
.nat the talent he inherited was prac-
ueahy al lined up before he became
manager. That Mitchell will make
better showing with the Cubs than did
ms predecessor, Joe Tinker, is the gem
eral oelef, yet within a season or two
the club he inherited this year will have
passed, and new players will be holding
down most of the regular positions.
Mitchell had to take the Cubs as they
stood and remodeling the team will take
time.
Christy Mathewson stepped into the
managerial shoes at Cincinnati 10 re-
build loser, but had the Reds been
much stronger ball club than they
were when Matty took hold. he would no
doubt have made changes. In Kopf,
Rousch, Cueto and Shean. four players
OF Matty's choosing are to be found
Other newcomers are bound to follow
until he has team OF his own build
ing.
Jimmy Callahan took the Pirates that
Fred Clark had been trying to mold
into a winner for three seasons and
found the job impossible. He got rid of
Viox, Gibson, Harmon, Adams, Johns
ton, Gerber, Barney, Costello and
Councilman. Kantlehner might have
stuck had he not been i'll advised, but
Callahan refused TO parley with him.
The retirement OF Hans Wagner was re-
gretted by Callahan, for Hans was a
player any manager could depend upon
to do his best in every game.
When Cal first took hold Of the Pitts
burgh club he was up against the same
thing that Fred Mitchell Is up against
this wear. He had TO worry along for one
season with the club as II came to him.
Now he has a new. young ball club in
the making and he has lined UP some
promising talent In Miller Grimes,
Evans. Carlson, Schmidt. Wagner. Big
bee and Ward.
Jack Barry. the only new manager in
the American League. fell heir to the
worlds champions. That he should be
satisfied with the layout goes without
saying, and on top of this he was a
member of the team and well liked
among the players.
Ball players are no different than men
in many other lines of employment Take
an ONCE force where a new boss" steps
In. II is seldom that the new boss"
can pull with every man he finds there
and they will not all pull with him. II
takes cooperation and harmony to run
anv business. and the baseball bizZ Is no
exception to the rule. This is one reason
why new baseball managers often make
many changes in a ball club.
The baseball pilot must have his own
organization to set the best results.

New York, May l9.-A stormy meeting
is in prospect when the registration COM
mittee OF the Metropolitan Association
of the A. A U. gathers at 30 Broadway,
this afternoon, to talse up the protest Of
the victory OF the Millrose A. A 10 the
Evening Mail Modified Marathon run last
Saturday. The protest against the Mill
rose Club was made by the Morning
side A c.. on the ground that W. Johan-
ming ran for the Millross team illegally.
Now the registration committee is be-
tween two fires. The Harlem contingent,
led by the Morngside Club, is demanding
that the letter OF the rule be enforced.
while the Millross Club insists that the
registration committee Is at fault, and
that therefore it should not be deprived
of its Tightfully won victory. II will al

BILE Company, of Tate, Ga, has
brought all the marble producing
companies and the largest finishing
mills in the State into one great
company with capital of two mil
lion dollars. The headquarters OF
the company will be at Tate but the
consolidation is of particular inter
est to Marietta as it involves the
kennesaw Marble Company. This
plant will continue to operate un-
der its present management, tne
change being merely in stock.
The consolidation was complet-
ed at a meeting of stockholders in
Atlanta on Tuesday when the of

Washington City in the hope of Sc
curing the encampment. They
found after a careful investigation
that the entire matter had been left
in the hands of General Leonard
Wood and ne was at Governors
Island. N. Y, 1t was then decided
that a committee should go on to
that place and have a conference
with General Wood and the latest
word from them Wednesday night
was that the conference had been
very satisfactory.
The delegation saw senators Hoke
Smith and T. w. Hardwick and
Congressman Gordon Lee and Hon.

erything they could to aid them in
securing the camp.
Atlanta has already been named
as supply headquarters for the
Southeast and it is quite likely
that either in or near Atlanta the
training camp Or the mobilization
camp will be established.
If the mobilization camp is es-
