DARCY'S SHORT SOJOURN
IN u. 5. EVENTFUL One
Australian Middleweight Boxer, Who
Died Thursday, Furnished Live
Dope For Sport Pages.

Les Darcy, Australian middleweight
boxer, who basked in the sunshine and
clouds of American newspaper pub
licity for short six months, is dead,
the victim of pneumonia in a Memphis,
Tenn; hospital Thursday.
Darcy's escape from Australia, com :
ing to the United States by tramp
steamer by way of South America, his
challenge to American middleweights
and the subsequent barring of his ap-
pearance in American rings on the
charge that he was Stacker" having
left Australia to escape military duty,
gave sport pages in this country live
topic for many day.
Darcy arrived in the United States
Dec. %, 1916. He was met by Tex
Richard, boxing promoter, who was
then making arrangements for Darcy
to meet Georges Carpenter, French
heavyweight champion, in a 10-round
bout at Madison Square garden, New
York.
This and other matches in which
Darcy was to have been a principal
had to be abandoned. Governor Whit
man issued an edict forbidding the
Australian champion to appear in any
glove contest in this state. In Ohio
and Louisiana the governors followed
the lead taken by Governor Whitman.
Darcy never appeared in a real ring
contest in this country. The only OPP
portunity he had to show his skill was
brief theatrical tour giving boxing
exhibitions.

SUNDAY games
IN EAST PLAN
OF COMMISSION
Receipts Would Go To War
Relief Fund" Bean
Ball" Barred

Sunday games in the six eastern
base ball cities, New York, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia, Boston, Washington and
Pittsburgh, where Sunday baseball is
not permitted, the receipts to be given
to the army and navy for a war RELIEF
fund, is a plan suggested by the Ma
tional Baseball commission, provided
permission for the games can be
secured.
These games, IL permitted. will be
regularly scheduled contests, one or
the week day games being advanced
to a Sunday date. It is believed that
100000 can be raised each Sunday in
this manner.
Bean Ball" Is Barred.
The bean ball." a highly danger
Gus ball thrown directly at the batter's
head, will no longer be tolerated, and
pitchers convicted of using 1t will be
prevented from entering the employ OF
any club operating under the national
agreement for a period of at least 1--WE
years, according to a statement issued
by the commission following its
regular meeting at Chicago Thursday.
The statement:
ut has come to the notice of the
national commission that certain
pitchers are being charged with using
the bean ball. which charges, II true,
would not only be a great detriment
to the game. but would result in most
severe injuries to players and would be
unsportsmanlike in the highest degree.
THE commission, therefore. serves
notice that If a charge of this kind is
presented to it at any time against
any player, and after an examination
thereof, the same is proven, 1t will re-
suit in the expulsion of the player or
players so charged from the game"
Expulsion of a player for use of the
illegal ball means that he cannot enter
the employ of club operating under
the national agreement for at least
five wears

News From The World Of Sport
YANKs SPEEDY YOUNG GILHooLEY
CLAIMS HE is HARD-LUCK CHAMP

New York, May 17.-Frank Gil
hooley, the Yanks' fast little OUT
fielder, is prepared to claim the dis
tinction of being the games leading
hard-luck player. The recent accident
in game with the Athletics at Phila-
delphia that broke his collar-bon
win probably mean that he will not be
able to get in the game again for a
month or six weeks.
Gilhooleys chief misfortune has
been to suffer a severe injury at
times when he is just beginning to get
started at fast clip. Last year he
broke leg on July while sliding in
to bag and was of little real use to
the Yanks through the rest of the
season. He had just begun to get APP
plause as one of the niftiest young
outfielders in the business when he
had the accident last year.
When the present season started
Gilhooley hoped to have a chance to
show all his class and after getting
away to a nice start he dove for a
ball, landed on his neck and fractured
his collar-bon He can scarcely be
blamed for his belief that the hoodoo
has singled him out.
The Yanks seem unusually mis-
treated in the matter of hard luck
and gripping and they suffered from
quite a bit last season. With Gilhooley
gone they must do without one of
the best lead-of men in the league.
Gilhooley had worked a pass out of
the last nine pitchers he had faced
before the day of his accident. With
hits and passes he had reached first
eighteen times in the nine games,
which shows his value as the first
man up. He is small and hard to pitch
to and he has a sharp eye for good
ones. He will be greeted warmly when
he Is able to return.
