 BE CHOSEN 10 BOX LES DARCY


 New York, Jan. 2S-A. I. Rudolph, father-manager of Al Mccoy, gener- ally recognized as middleweight champion title holder, was in con- ference with Grant Hugh Browne yesterday for the purpose of arrang- ing a match with Les Darcy. No agreement was reached. Promoter Browne then proceeded to get into communication with George Chip, the New Castle, Pa, middleweight, and expects to talk over terms with the latter some time today.
 Battling Levinsky is the next choice of Browne for a bout with Darcy in the event that he is unable to come to terms with Chip or Mccoy. Agree ments for a Darcy Chip bout give the Australian percentage of the mo- tion picture returns in addition to a purse of $25,000.

tre for, 21 years at a rental of S4O,- 900. This amount. MT. Rickard ex- plained, is $20,000 less than the an- nual interest on the money invested in Madison Square Garden. With such an advantage in expenses Rick ard said he would be in a position to bid high for all championship boxing events and any other sporting contest that may appeal to him as a good drawing card.
 The architects plans provide for the use of very little steel in the con- struction of the building, which will haven pillars. The basement, which will be of an odd type because of the ground, which rises from the street level close to the water front to hilly heights toward Broadway, will con- tain dressing rooms, showers, gym nasium apparatus and other appurte- nances of a first class athletic club. Provision also will be made in that part of the building for caring for horses and circus animals.
 Rickard, who promoted the Will lard Moran bout which drew $15O,O in the Garden, had first call on the services on Les Darcy for his first bout in this country, which he ex- pected would be with Georges Car pentier, the French champion. The loss of the Garden by Rickard re. leased Darcy from his promise to box for him.

Neville, Yale Gridiron Star, Struck on Head
 By An Alarm Clock

New Haven, Jan. 27.-Joe Neville, the Yale football star, who was re- sponsible for the first touchdown scored by Yale against Harvard in seven years, had a narrow escape from serious injury while walking through Berkeley Oval yesterday morning. Two students, living on the third floor of Fayerweather hall, became involved in an argument which was followed by the exchanging of compliments with their fists. -t
 One Of the students, according to the story, was knocked to the floor, and upon regaining his feet, picked up an alarm clock from a table nearby He aimed the clock at his rivals head but it missed it's mark and went fly ing through an open window, landing on the head of Neville, who happened to be passing at the time. Neville could not see the joke and took the miscreant to task.
 Neville was around last night nurs- ing a larger bump than he ever re- ceived in any one football game.

BILLY MISKE IS LOGICAL MAN FOR
 DARCY TO TACKLE

New York, Jan. 27-Next in in1- portance to willard Fulton match is one between Les Darcy and Billy Miske With Georges Carpenter out of the question and Dillon out of the running by his recent defeats there is no question that Miske is the most desirable opponent for the much ad- vertised Australian.
 Darcy seems to have made up his mind to take on some of the easier ones first and there are many who think that he will pass up Mjske altogether on the ground that he is too big. Darcy himsAlf denies this. He says that he has studied Miske carefully and feels confident that he knows how to beat him.
 But he argufs that if he took on Miske first and defeated him there would be no interest in bouts with men of. lesser calibre. That would mean that in the future Darcy would have to continue fighting heavy weights. although Darcy still is cap- able of making the middleweigbt limit.
 Darcy impresses' one as being very shrewd youth, but he seems to have made several mistakes already. His stage tour was one. While he is wasting his time in that way he is losing the benefit of the tremendous amount of advertising he received when. he first made his appearance. His determination to meet Al Mccoy looks like another false step. He could take on Mccoy at any time when things become a little dull, but for his first bout he. should have se- lected a more formidable opponent.

the Saturday previous to the Brown game, has never. opposed the Ellis in football heretofore. The game was suggested by Dr. Brides, line coach at Yale.
 Amherst has not played Yale since 1909 when Ted Coy's. famous eleven run rough shod over the Bay Staters, winning by a score of 34 to 0. Back m 1906 Sammy Morse's team defeat ed Amherst 12 to o while in 1902 the Ellis won by @ score of 22 to 0. Yale defeated Harvard by the same score that year.
 Amherst showed to best advantage against Yale in 1901 when the Ellis were held down to a to o score. Amherst had a regular place on Yale's schedule up to 1901 but since that time there mas been a long lapse be- tween games. Amherst, it is inter esting to note, never scored against Yale. Under the new rules system Amherst, like any other minor college team, can be expected to cause Yale trouble. The schedule:
 Sept. 29-Carnegie.
 Oct. 6-Virginia.
 Oct. 13-Virginia Poly.
 Oct. 20-Amherst.
 Oct. 27-Co1gate.
 Nov. 3--North Carolina.

JOE YELLING IS
 WINNER IN BOUT
 WITH LEO JOHNSON

New York, Jan. 27-Joe Yelling may not be everybody's lightweight champion of the world, but he is champion over that ebony-hued speed marvel, Leo Johnson
 The waspish, wrathful one dropped out of the apple of Jimmy Johnston's eye last night at the Harlem Sport ing club long enough to whip the prancing little darkey in ten rounds of thrilling fighting.
 Yelling beat Johnson simply be- cause Leo could not untrack fast enough to escape the white boys ever lasting two-handed pounding, on his middle section.
 < Johnson is internally clever, but none of his art could. save him from Welling's 'ding-dong digs at his ribs. Yelling never let up on 5ohnson's waist line. True, Leo was up and away like frightened deer every minute of the time, but always there was Welling, willing and unmistake-. bly, punishing. Joe had to drive through Leo's bewildering guard to reach the dark boys body, but he succeeded.

Australia In Past
 Has Sent Numerous
 Boxers to This Land

Les Darcy is the latest of many great Australian fighters to seek ito win pugilistic laurels in America. In the early '90s nearly every ship from the Antipodes brought a cargo of boxers, and many good ones were among them. One of them was Toms Tracey, a welterweight, who fought his first bout on this side 24 years ago today, knocking out Billy Gaa- lagher in the 18th round at San Frau- cisco. He then fought Joe Walcott in Boston and was knocked out, but in '97 he held the Demon to a draw. Ira cey was also whipped by Tommy Ryan and Kid Lavigne.
 Tracey was a foster brother of Dan Creedon, a good Australian middlS- weight who also came to America, at that period, Among others who caIRe over from the Kangaroo country we're Peter Jackson, Bob Fitzsimmons.s Tom Meadows, Jack Hall, Dick and Sam Matthews, Paddy German, Joe Goddard, Frank Slavin, Jim Hall, Ents Ryan, Billy Murphy, Billy Mccarthy, George Dawson, Shadow Mabar. Young Griffo, Iron Bark" Jim Burke, Abe Willis and others-all good men.

Claims Hugh Ross
 Ran Out on Match
 With Augie Rather

Jimmy Johnston. the New York promoter, nurls this at Hugh Ross:
 "Jpst .reeeiyed word from the Al banys promoter thatethe pride sof Connecticut" Hugh Ross, again ran out on Augie Rather, the middle weight sensation of New York. Rat ner's defeat of Carbone evidently put the "crusher'' on Ross. It is the sec- ond time Ross ran out of the match.
 'I will make this proposition: To box 15 or 20 rounds in Bridgeport or New Haven, the winner to take all the purse. Dave Fitzgerald, I consider one of the best and fairest referees in the country today and I would like to have him decide the merits of the fighters if Hugh Ross will agree to meet Rather. If Ross objects to Fitzgerald, we will accept any honest and reputable man.. /

Rennselaer Shooters
 Suffer By Armory Fire

Troy, N. Y., Jan. 27-Due to the recent burning of the State Armory at this city, it may be impossible for the Rensselaer, Poly Institute Rifle team to enter the Intercollegiate shoots" ,this seaso2.
 Their rifles, range, and some 5000 rounds of ammunition, all of which were contained in the building were a total loss. The matches which open tonight are held Under the auspices of the National Rifle Association, and it is probable that the Institute gun men" will appeal to that body for an extension of time, in order that they may obtain the necessary equipment.

SEVEN PERMITS FOR BOXING
 SHOWS ISSUED BY POLICE BOARD
Chris Leonard, Former Ribbon Basketball Star,
 With Jaspers of Eastern League.

signs of cracking under the strain although the members appear to be desert1ng every day. Pitchers Doug las and Prendergast signed with the Chicago Cubs yesterday. Neither is anything wonderful as pitcher so it was probably case of safety first. ! For if they held out the manager might get annoyed and send them to the minors. .~
 The real name of Willie Jackson, the boy who knocked out, Johnny Dundec, is Oscar Tobler. He is of Austran- Jewish parentage.
 The Georgetown university football eleven may go to the coast for a trip next season. Negotiations are in pro- gress for a game with Gonzaga uni vers1ty in Spokane, Wash, December 8. Although the name means nothing in tho lives of eastern fans, Gonzaga is said to have a good football reputa- tion on the coast
 Some ball players never believe they are through. Marty McHale, who has been a failure with the Red Sox and Yankees, thinks he can fool 'em in ths National league. He may get a trial with Cincinnati as Manager Mathew son needs experienced pitchers
 Rutgers college has been compelled to decline a game with the University of Oregon eleven at the Polo grounds, New York, next season. Rutgers was Willing to play Thanksgiving day but Oregon had that date taken If an eastern team is to play Oregon a stronger representation than Rutgers should be selected anyway.
 It is reported that Il members of the Brooklyn club whose salaries were cut have agreed to hold out until each gets the same pay he received last year. This will mean another wall from Charley Ebbets about the high cost of baseball.

(BY Wagner.)

That boxing is booming in this city just now is indicated by the eagerness Of local sportsmen to get permits. It is reported that the police board has already issued seven permits for coming shows and that only one or two more will be given out for the present season. The permits already issued run up to May So the fans may expect to see two shows a month from now on.
 The situation in this city has been so well handled by the police board that little need is felt for a boxing commission as provided in bill in- troduced in the General Assembly. Those on the inside know that most of the rural members of the assem- ply are opposed to boxing bouts and as these members control the major ity of votes, drastic legislation re- garding the sport might be enacted if the question came up for discussion in Hartford.
 Chris Leonard, the former Ribbon center, has signed with the Jaspers of the Eastern basketball league. This team won the championship in the first half of the season. Last night the Jaspers visited Springfield and beat the Braves of that city by 27 to 14. Mnager Leavy has booked the Jaspers for this city later in the season.
 Walter Swenson is booked to play against Beckman when the Blue Rib- bons meet the Reading, Pa, basket ball team of the Eastern league at Colonial hall next Tuesday night. Beckman is considered one of Read ing's best shooters. It will be inter- esting to see if Swenson can hold him as we'll as he did Norman in Dan bury.
