LES DARCY FALLS
FROM PEDESTAL
AS SPORT IDOL
Boxing Followers Thor
oughly Disguised With
Latest Move by Austral-
ian in Diminishing O'Sulli-
van.

New York, Feb. Lies Darcy today
began to be about as unpopular with
the sport.loving public in New York az
Is possible for a man who has been
placed upon pedestal. Following his
announcement to the United Press that
he did not intend to live up to a con-
tract signed for him by Tim O'sulli-
van. his manager. calling for bouts In
Milwaukee with jeff Smith and Mike
Gibbons, Darcy declared O'Suilivan
had been dismissed as his manager
last Tuesday. He apparently forgot
that on his trip up New York bay
from the Standard OIL tank ship Cush-
ing, he had told several persons aboard
tug. including Tex Richard, Tom
ORourke and Charles Harvey, that
OSullivan and no one else would act
in this country as his manager. To-
day he declared that O'Sullivan never
had been his manager, but had been
employed as agent and never had been
authorized to make matches.
PROMOTERS IN STRUGGLE.
Meanwhile Tom Andrews, Frank
Mulkern. John Welsmantel and Grant
Hugh Brown are locked in the throes
OF desperate struggle over the pros
pect Of Darcy fighting this or that
man. Weismantel claims to have signed
Mccoy some time ago to a set Of ar
ticles calling for a bout with Jack Dill
lon and has protested against his be-
ing allowed to meet Darcy until he
has gone through with the Dillon bout,
Brown also has filed a protest claim
Ing that fact that he has spent
large sum on the bout should pro-
tect him. He has arranged to stage
a bout between Frank Moran and
Carl Morris should the Darcy Mccoy
affair fail.
Muikern and Andrews are at odds
over a Milwaukee bout. Andrews
wants one the Same date with Smith
as Darcy's opponent. Each declared the
Milwaukee auditorium will shelter his
show.

All he said In reply to queries be-

"sAFETY FIRST"
Let me tell you this, too: The
time has come when the big league
clubs will have to adopt a strict pol
Icy of retrenchment. We have got to
have eight clubs to make the league.
Well, Just as sure as the sun shines,
four of those clubs are goin, to be in
the second division, and when they
get into the second division they face
a loss financially. That is positive.
the second division clubs play the los
ing end CT the game. Now that is a
bright prospect. isn't 1t? No one
knows what clubs will be in the sec
ond division.
III this country goes to war with
Germany, 1t will mean a big loss to the
national game so far as gate receipts
go. and the men running big league
teams will have to use every precau-
tionary measure to safeguard them
selves against financial loss. 1t Is no
easy matter to run a ball club, either.
I am not going to give out any
statement relative to those who have
refused to sign contracts until later.

= oROTHY BERNARD has two
Hh ambitions in life. The first one
HU is to have someone write for
III her plot that contains no
fatal letter. With utmost
abandon she announces that she does
not believe the perusal Of the fatal
letter is an Indispensable prop to the
plot Of every picture play.
1t Is true, she admits, that even
the greatest scenarists depend upon
this prop for their greatest effects,
and admits that there Is no reason
why the screen should not thus become
an international correspondence school
Tor writing anything from black mail
ing letters to billets doux and invi-
tations.
Yet she yearns for play that will
have great scene without a letter. II,
for example, Harold We're de We're foils
the scheme to trap poor Glorianna,
pure as ivory soap, into an almost
marriage. so that later he may wed the
lovely Princess of Something's Some
thing and thus, in spite Of the parlor
snake In the guise Of a fa-h alse friend
in evening clothes. make good her
fathers forged check for ten million.
there must be some way Miss Bernard
believes. to straighten it out without
calling messenger boy.
1t Is easy to see why the stone age
has left us no important dramas. A
messenger boy could not gracefully
cart around letter carved on a tomb
stone. nor could the lady twist it con-.
vulsively In her lily hands nor strew
the pieces over the Brussels.
But SO much for Miss Bernards first
Her other one, she an
nounces, Is to have six children.
