.BRITTON AND LEWIS
MEET TWELFTH TIME
Welterweights Fight Total of
1870 Rounds With Supremacy
Still in Doubt.

The twelfth chapter OF the cele-
bratcd ring serial between Jack Brit
ton and Ted Lewis, the l50-pound
wclterwcight championship. will be
unfoldcd for the entertainment of the
folks at Dayton, Ohio, next Saturday,
afternoon. that Is, providing nothing
develops to interfere with the affair.
To the present time Britton and
Lewis have fought a total OF 1870 OF
the rounds and the question OF su-
pTcmacy still is open to discussion.
Britton claims the welter title by vir-
tue of the fact that he received the
decision over Lewis at the end OF a
twenty-round contest at New orleans
over year ago, but since that en-
counter Lewis has persistently hound
ed the champion and has fought him
four times without satisfactory
settlement being reached.
Two these matches we're to be de
cision at Boston and Britton received
the virdict each time, theother two
contests were decision affairs.
Just few nights ago st. Louis fans
we're the victims of this series ana tnc
howl that went up stoll reverberates
thru the Mound City. 1t Is very STINT

followed the farcial bout between

as he is merely one of the horde of
boxers who infest Gotham and its en-
virons
The prospective match between
Leonard and Kilbane somewhere in
Ohio has progressed no farther than
conversation, as Matt Hinkol, the
Cleveland promoter, who is most active
In bidding for the affair. has failed to
land Leonard's signature To articles
1t is understood that Hinkel has the
acceptance of the featherwoight cham
pionsh!p. but he is encountering some
ditfulty in corraling Leonard. The
latest offer Hinkel is said to have
made Leonard is a guarantee of $12,-
900, which would be $1,000 round,
as the match is proposed for twelve
rounds, and the lightweight king also
will have the privilege of taking 80
per cent of the gross receipts.
Philadelphia promoters also have
entered the field as bidders for this
attractive fistic plum. James Dough
himself and John Shibe, part owner
OF the Philadelphia Americans, was in
Cleveland the other day to dicker with
Kilkane and Jimmy Dunn, Kilbane's
manager, for the bout
There is likely to be definite devel
opments toward this match at an early
date, as both Leonard and Kilbane
appear to be eager to grab off the
rich financial melon that will be at
tached thereto.

in the 133-pound division of pugilism

an indefinite period. Several OF the
topnotchers in the class also expect
to be summoned for army service In
the near future.
Leonard is eligible for military duty
and he expects and Is willing to be
called Like all the other boXors. Of
high and low degree, the champion is
merely marking time now until the
draft begins. Meanwhile, however, he
will take advantage of various oppor-
tunitles to gather in little coin of the
realm. Instead of rushing into bur-
lesque, or other theatrical branches.
the champion appears to prefer to
earn his money by fighting. In this
respect he is upsetting ring precedent.
Usually the first act of a new title
holder is to sign up for an extended
engagement on the stage whereby he
can earn a princely revenue with but
little labor. Leonard, on the contrary
has not been tempted by theatrical
agents, altho several are besieging him

dcrgraduates or the alumni. Base

look for boom in professional foot

well say good bye to a resumption o.

If professionalism is permitted to
send its roots down into the struc-
ture of the greatest of all college
sports, the war will indeed have eX-
erted pernicious effect upon sport
which the colleges have controlled,
not always with discretion, but at
least with underlying ideals that
should be conserved. even at the price
of allowing the game to remain upon
the shelf until peace has come.

seasoned tournament boxer Darcy had
his first professional fight against
Dave Depena at New castle, New

This is Labor day in Newcastle and
Darcy being such an idol, had what
will always be spoken of as the big.
gest crowd OF people that ever turned
out to prize fight in Newcastle to
cheer him to victory.
Les kept fighting on his native
hearth until 1914, when he made sew
eral trips down to sydney, beating all
the men he was matched with, ex-
cepting Fritz Holland, a willy old MID
dloweight from the Pacific coast.
However, Darcy later turned the
tables on him and ouipointed Holland,
eventually knocking him out when
they met in Melbourne, Victoria fot
the fourth time.
Blacksmith Surrcndcrs Indcnturcs.
Darcy was still apprenticed to the
blacksmith in Maitland and was given
leave Of absence when he went tc
sydney and Melbourne to box, but
seeing that Darcy could make much
more money at fighting, the black
smith finally cancelled the indentures
and gave Les his freedom to do rs he
liked at the fight game. Darcy then
placed himself under the direction
and management of Dave Smith, who
was middleweight champion of Aus
tralia at the time. Under Smiths
tutelage Darcy gradually mounted up
the pugilistlc ladder, until in 1915 he
was matched TO meet Eddie McGoorty
for what was billed as the middle
weight championship of the world.
McGoorty was referred to as the Osh.
kosh Terror, having come from Osh-
kosh, Wis, and was conceded to be
the best middleweight boxer America
had sent to Australia. Darcy won this
fight, but there was "A shadow of sus-
