Now that Bill Hargiss has what seems

are rumors floating about to the effect
that some of the men he has been using
may not be eligible in the strictest sense.

DARCY IS CHESTY
Australian Says He Can Lick
the Best America Boasts.
He Thinks Dillon Will Be
"Easy Meat" for Him.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Feb 14.-If confidence
counts for anything Les Darcy is a
whole battalion.
This boy from Maitland has been
accused of lodging the real fighters
because he consented to meet Al Nc
Coy in his first bout here. But Les
has an eye on American dollars. He
likes to hear the eagle scream and he
says the sweet whisperings of Amer
lean coins are much sweeter than the
intermittent cooings of the British
pound sterling.
In meeting Mccoy Darcy thinks he
mas soft one, and he thinks like
many others. But no one can really
blame him for taking on the Brook
iyn lad when he can get $4,000 for
bouts.
Not Afraid of Others.
If we are to take the opinions of
Darcy and his manager-pal, E. Tim
othy OSullivan, for it, the Australian
milling machine isn't afraid of Dill
lon, Miske or Gibbons. He has seen
the first two in action and he thinks
they are good, but not good enough.
Gibbons? Well, Gibbons will have to
consume few more barrels of Min
nesota flour before he can develop a
punch Darcy will fear. About the
oniy thing that Darcy seems afraid to
fight is the German army He broke
the worlds record for long distance
jumping to avoid the chance of being
asked to help storm the sauerkraut
trenches
Since Darcy scored easy victories
over such lads as George Chip, Jimmy
Clabby ct al his opinion of American
lighters has been so strongly formed
that some one will have to blast 10
dlslodge it. Darcy and O'Sullivan were
at the r1ngsidn. when Dillon and Miske
met in Brooklyn. From what they
saw or these two sturdy wielders OF
the mean maulers they claim there is
nothing for Darcy to lose sleep over
Expects to Meet En- All.
O'Sullivan, who is just about as cool
and conservative as cove oyster, sa ya
that Darcy expects to be called upon
to meet Dillon, Miske, Gibbons, Chip
and probably one or two others.
And listen-Oh, boyle adds that
| in his opinion Jack Dillon will be the
easiest picking of the bunch. If Dill
ion ever hears this there will be ar
! odor of scorched linen in his immedi-
ate vicinity, for Jack will surely be-
come torrid around the collar. Never
| theless, this is O'Sully's frank opinion
| The Australians are capable O.
pointing out flaws in Miske, too. They
think Miske is tough, willing, hard
| hitting boy, but he lacks polish. Hi
ring manners aren't up to snaps anC
| Darcy will endeavor to give him ;
they meet. Whether or not Darcy vii
demonstrate the art depends on Miske
! Dillon or any of the others. We still

New York, Feb. 14.-Les Darcy

The purse ranks next to the Jef-

NEW METHODS OF WOUND
IRRIGATION

DR.. w. w. Keen, the famous old sur
geon, describes the new method OF
wound irrigation used by DR.. Alexis
Carroll and DR.. Dakin as follows:
The wound is thoroughly cleansed;
X-ray pictures and most careful ex-
animation are made to ascertain
whether foreign bodies are still in the
wound, for if a bit of shell--or- still
worse, of clothing or SKINS present
the wound will never heal until this has
been removed. If the missile has pass
ed completely through, thus providing
a counter opening" this is closed in
an appropriate way. A reservoir con-
tanning Dakin's fluid is hung one meter
80 inches above the level of the wound.
From this reservoir one large tube con-
troiled by pinch cock leads to a glass
tube with several branches like the
teeth OF a comb. From these multiple
tubular teeth several small rubber
tubes are so disposed as to reach every
small part of the wound The far
ends of these small tubes are tied, but
the fluid escapes through several very
small holes one nilhmeter 0-25 of an
sinch) in diameter in the sides OF the
tube. and so is kept constantly in con-
tact with the entire internal surface,
of the wound.
Every two hours day and night for
only one or two seconds the pinch
cock is opened and little more fluid
is sprinkled in minute streams through
the side holes of the small tubes to
every part of the wound. 1t is not in
tended that the fluid shall run over and
soak dressinks or the bed. 1t is only
Intended to fill the wound in every pos
sible recess, and to keep the antiseptic
fluid in contact with the entire inner
surface of the wound all the time BY
this means, wherever there are any
bacteria in any part of the wound the
antiseptic fluid is constantly at work
destroying them. The antiseptic tech
mic must be perfect. Not tven gloved
finger is allowed to touch the wound.
Everything. dressing, tubes etc, all
"rN handled by thoroughly disinfected
