Les Darcy Tour Failure;
Empty Seats For Australian

Philadelphia. Feb. s. Les Darcy,
king of the Antipodean sluggers, found
the American public far away from
the idea of clogging up theater seats
just to see him waltz a few rounds
with Freddie Gilmore and demonstrate
the punches he used to win his way to
Australian fame.
His junket through eastern cities
has been one of the most dismal fliv-
vers history ever has been called upon
to chronicle.
The reason for his failure should be
apparent and should be a warning to
other theatrically ambitious scrappers
Folks who really are interested in ring
battles don't care to see boxer step
onto q stage and merely go through
the motion of tiff. They want to see
him fight.
Anyone so popular as Darcy would
have no trouble at all in jamming q
fight arena with fans to see him battle.
Others who go to theater to be en-
tertained are rarely interested in the

LEAGUE GAME FOR
HARRISBURG FANS
Basketball Promoters Pick
This City as Part of New
Organization

Harrisburg will get league baseball
next fall according to n report from
Philadelphia. A new league is being
formed in opposition to the Eastern
League. 1t is said Philadelphia.
Camden, Harrisburg, Allentown and
Bethlehem are already assured. The
Philadelphia Inquirer to-day says:
IF present plans do not go amiss be-
tween now and next fall another pro-
fessional baseball league will step into
the limelight and make a bold bid for
public patronage. This new organiza-
tion which is said to be merely in the
making is to be placed on a par with
the Eastern and Pennsylvania State
Leagues, and to include players of tie
same caliber as those who now make
up the teams of the two big cage
game bodies.
According to well-known Phila-
delphian who desires that his name
shall not be used at this time, but
I who is willing to allow some details
of the purpoSed organization to ap-
pear in public print, claims he has
already been assured of financial sup
port If all the towns approached
enter the new movement the pro-
posed Federal League, a title prac-
tically although not officially agreed
upon, will start with an eight-club
circuit.
'It is said to be the intentions of
the promoters to place one club in
Philadelphia, either in West Phila-
delphia or Kensington, and take in
Harrisburg, Allentown, Bethlehem,
Pottstown. Camden. Reading and
either Millville, Bridgeton, or Atlantic
City. Trenton and Lancaster were
also mentioned.
The division of receipts of the new
league is to be conducted upon the
percentage plan. The division of the
gate is to be on fifty-fifty basis with
all money taken for reserve seats go
ing as velvet to the home club. All
clubs are to be instructed to sign their
players on monthly salaries. Each
team is to play three games a week,
two at home and one away one week,
and one game at home and two away
the next week. That will make a total
of IL games for tie month and so
games for the season.
The salary limit has not yet been
fixed. The new league plans to secure
as many Interstate and Connecticut
League players as possible and to also
enroll some of the dissatisfied men,
bers of the Eastern and Pennsylvania
State Leagues teams. No concen-
trated raid is to be made on the East
ern League. but none of the top notch
ers are to be refused if they apply.
The promoters of the new league
