SEW YORK, January will Les
ter Darcy find the tcn-round game -
his liking:
Here Is question tn. ngh, bugs
around New York are asking each
other to-day
Thcy point out that Darcy has be-
come 80 used To the twenty round
route he will find the tcn-round game
81 stumbling block and may be sur
rrihed by the pace set ty our best
middle and light heavyweight boxers.
The fact that two vastly different
boxers-Jimmy Ciabby and George
tknockouU Brown-stood Darcy OF
for twenty rounds in Australia, may
mean something Clabby is the best
american boxer vino has invaded the
Antipodes. according 10 Darcy him
sell. Brown. who doesn't pretend TO
know the tine points OF the game. was
tough enough to stick il out with
Darcy over the long route.
Now what viii such boxers as Mike
Gibbons or Billy Miske be able 10 do
against Darcy in ii ten round sctto?
There's food for thought here
Many fstic bugs believe that either
OF these st. raul kiuckleduStcrs viii
be In line TO outpoint the raIan
over the tcn-round routc, and as long
~ they keep away from his sleep
producing maulers they viii have an
advantage over him.
Gibbons. despite several poor show
nCs in New York. is admittedly the
fastest ten-round boxer IN the country
to-day. and Miskc IS coming fast. All
that either need do is cvade tho ayinG
Slcdge hammers attached 10 Darcy's
fail-llkc arms. and the end Of a ten.
round bout should find them on their
feet and enjoying ii lead on points.
AZ least. that is what the fight fans
- New York are saying. and they
believe that Jack Dillon, the Indian.
"pois Eearcat. would b. capable OF
LANDING toe TO toe and exchanging
wallops with the boy from the Land
Ut the Kangaroo
y glance al Darcys record shoas
that Brown Is not the ONLY Americas
hoNer OF tho stand up!and-sluE type
who has stuck out twenty rounds with
Kim. Gus Christi. int; him in alt and
ven, the full route. Eddie McGoorty
stayed ,weut: rounds the first time
he mot Darcy and lost his second
bout III eight rounds
II Brown and christi. al. COOL
enough to stand ~ with Darcy ani
hattlc over the long route, why not
such boxers as Gibbons and such
