NEW YORK. March 30-Les Darcy

Orleans for the worlds middleweigh,
championship. The news reached here
yesterday in message from Dominick
Tortorich the New Orleans promoter
who said he had closed for twenty

4. The message neglected to state
which one of the boys holds the middle
weight championship at present but it
is presumed the palm has been awarded
to Darcy
The match viii be billed as a bout for
the title. despite the fact that Darcy
has twice beaten Smith. and in addition
Smith lost decisions to several others.

beaten BY Darcy.
The match appears to be another step
in the misdirected career of Darcy in
this country. 1t would have been hard
to find an opponent for the Australian

Gibbons or Jack Dillon would be the
logical men to meet Darcy for cham
pionship bout.
1t is a sudden slump of offers of 800
