Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 49,
Eight hundred hve-man teams will
bowl for the national titles in this

American Bowling congress mature.

one issued and is based on the fact

DARCY'S FAREWELL
BLOW TO AUSTRALIA.
ALI Fight Fans of Antipodes
Have Now is Broken Down
Bunch of Heavies.
LANG GETS KNOCKED COLD

New York, Jan. l3,-The departure
of Les Darcy from Australia has rob-
bed the boxing game on the island
continent of what class it contained,
and the fans have been forced to turn
to old and somewhat battered favor
ties in search of entertainment. There
is plenty of activity among the ring
men on the other side of the world,
but the sport furnished is decidedly
mediocre. With Darcy, the biggest
drawing card produced in Australia
in many day, gone, Bill Squires,
Bill Lang and other old timers, pugil-
istically dead this good while, have
been dug up out Of retirement and
again put on exhibition.
Unfortunately for Lang, he selected
Tom Mcmahon, the Pittsburgh bear
cat, for his opponent in his first at
tempt to come back. Instead of a
comeback he received a setback, as
the American polished him off in FIVE
rounds. This failed to convince the
one-time idol of the antipodes that he
is through, and he has announced his
intention of sticking to the game,
which proves that at least he is per-
sistent.
While Darcy was not recognized as
a heavyweight in his native land, it
was conceded that he could beat any
of his countrymen in the heavier class.
Now that he is among the missing in
Australia, the heavies are to fight it
out among themselves for possession
of the belt offered by Hugh D. Nc
Intosh, who, though he has severed
his connection with boxing, is still an
ardent admirer of the manly art. The
belt has had the effect Of Turing Bill
Squires out of retirement, Squires
has spent the last few years on his
farm at Tamworth and reports that he
is in excellent shape. He is quoted
as saying: 81 believe that | could turn
around and lick myself as | was six
or seven years ago." which is novel
way of describing ones prowess. If
he can't do even better than that, Bill
had better go back to the farm.
Like Darcy, Squires has announced
his intention of joining the colors as
soon as he has put few more fights
under his belt, and has already sold
his farm.
Dime Makes Hit.
Jimmy Dime, who recently returned
to this country with the stable OF
boxers he took to Australia, made a
fine impression over there and it was
with regret that the promoters wit
messed his leave-taking 1t seems that
number Of American managers got
into disrepute in the antipodes because
of the tactics they used, and Dime
did much to correct the impression
that all managers in this country are
of the same type.

spring into popularity in Australia.
This boy, who is contender for the
featherweight title, has been coming
along nicely and recently stopped

Americans during 1901 and part OF
1902 and finished the latter season
with the Athletics. He was with the
Philadelphia Nationals in 1905 and
1904 and with Brooklyn in 1905. The
next season he went to Toronto and
remained there four years. While a
member OF the Maple Leafs Mitchell
gave up pitching and became a
catcher. As catcher he returned
to the big show in 1910, with the New
York Americans. Later he returned
to the International league for sea-
son and then became assistant to
Manager George Stallings OF the
Braves. Last spring he coached the
Harvard base bali squad and turned
out one of the best Crimson teams in
history. Meanwhile his reputation as
pilot had been considerably boosted
by the successful manner in which he
handled the Braves during the absence
Of Manager Stallings.
Lives in Boston.
Mitchell was born at Cambridge,
Mass, in 1879, and with the exception
OF two years spent at Concord, N, H.,
he has always made his home in Bos-
ton, or its vicinity.
The veteran major league managers
for the coming season include Con-
ME Mack of the Athletics, John Nc
Graw of the Giants. Clark Griffith of
Washington and George Stallings of
the Braves. All four have been lead
ing big league outfits for many years.
Hughey Jennings can also be reck-
oned as something of veteran, since
it is now ten years since he first took
charge of the Detroit Tigers. Next
in lines comes Miller Higgins, who
has bossed the St. Louis Cardinals
since 1918. Wilbert Robinson took
charge of the Brooklyn team in 1914
and Bill Donovan became pilot of the
New York Yankees the same year.
Pat Moran of the Phillies, Clarence
Rowland of the White Sox and Lee
Foil OF Cleveland will start their
third year as major league managers
next April. Christy Mathewson, pilot
of the Cincinnati Reds; Jimmy Gala
han. leader of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
and Fielder Jones Of the ST. Louis
Browns took charge of their respec-
tive teams last season and may be
classed as new managers, although
Callahan and Jones had some previous
managerial experience, both having
taken turn at plotting the White Sox
some years ago.
