Logical Ruling on Darcy

Governor Whitman's action in the
case of Les Darcy. the Australian
boxer. is thoroughly logical. The Box
ing Commission should have barred
Darcy. if it had any sense of its duty.
Rut the Boxing Commission is not af-
1icted that way. The commission has
frequently acted "for the good of the
game" The barring Of Darcy from
boxing in New York certainly would
have been a step for the good Of the
game.
Darcy, who is said TO be Australia's
greatest fighter, stole away from his
country to avoid any chance of being
drafted into active service for the Brit
ish Empire in its fight for existence. lie
is a fugitive. under the defence Of the
realm act Certainly he has brought
disrepute to the boxing game. The
claim for boxing is that it makes young
men strong and manly, so that they
may be ready TO fight for the country
IN time Of need. But here We have Les
Darcy. Australians greatest fighter. run
ming away from he greatest fight Of
all.
The spectacle Of Darcy bruising his
way through ten rounds of boxing for
fat purse, whhe young Australians
who did not claim to be fighters we're
being killed in the great war. would
hold boxing up 90 scorn. II is to be
hoped that the Governor will not per-
NIT himself to be persuaded by hy-by-
night boxing promoters to change his
very logical ruling in the case of
Darcy
