Darcy, according to the an Inouncement, will receive $3O,0OO for thirty minutes work in the ring. McCoy's share of the purse has not been revealed.
 In signing on Mccoy in his first bout in this country, Darcy is play the wiscst kind of Q game from a
 financial standpoint. There is little doubt that the Australian can beat Mccoy if he is half as good as those who have seen him fight in the An tiDodcs say he is. Mccoy claims the middleweight championship of America. but there are several men of his weight in this country who would have little trouble beating him.
 By meeting Mccoy in his first bat
 tie. Darcy is taking little chance of having his golden opportunity to pile up fortune in this country snatched from him. By winning
 from Mccoy the Australian will add
 to his value as a ring attraction
 and. if he follows the Mccoy fight
 by taking on two or three other men who are a little below the top notch middleweight class he will be
 in line for a bis killing when he meets some of the better men. Billy NIiske, Mike Gibbons and Jack Dillon are the three topnotch- CTS that Darcy should fight in or der to prove that he is the scrappcr he is generally declared to be. If he cleans up the small fry first, Darcy undoubtedly will be able to get big money for a fight with either Of these three and to have no dilii- culty accumulating the fortune he came to America to amass.
