Discarded Manager Of Les Darcy Has
Signed Statement From Brown,
For Change In Com

CALLS FOR GEORGE CHIP
Darcy-Mecey Bout is up In the Air
Until the Boxing Commission
Makes Decision on
CALLS FOR GEORGE CHIP
TBY H. c. HAMILTON.l


United Press Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Tim O'Sulli-
van, late manager of Les Darcy, Aus
tralian pugilist, pulled brand new
one today in his battle for part of the
money Darcy expects to get for fight
ing in this country. He has 2 signed
statement from Grant Hugh Brown,
the Madison Square Garden fight di-
rector, to the effect that If Al Mccoy
is not available for Darcy on March
five. the date shall be given to George
Chip
Whether this means that the bout
will be held as secluded on March
five was not stated, but O'Sullivan's
plan is to force both Darcy and Brown
to live up to the agreement.
The Darcy4McCoy bout is extreme
" up in the air. Until Commissioners
Dwyer of the boxing commission
makes decision regarding the legal
ity of verbal contract between the
manager of pugilist and the match
maker of boxing club, it will stay
there. Grant Hugh Brown is fearful
that Dwyer will decide that Mccoy
and Darcy should carry out the Madi-
son Square Garden agreement.

Then and Now.

Omaha World-Herald: In those
good old days when the price of any
thing got too high people stopped
buying it. Even though it involved a
considerable degree of hardship and
sacrifice they did without. They were
used to hardship and sacrifice. 1t
was wonderful how many things they
could do without. That was what
helped so much to make them strong
and sturdy characters. 1t was the
quality of the pioneers. But in these
modern days the rule is to keep on
buying just so long as there is a
penny in ones purse. And when the
purse is empty-buy on credit.
