TO MEET AL MCCOY

United Press Staf Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Les Darcy's
first appearance before the American
fight public has been settled. Today
it was announced by Grant Hugh
Browne, Madison Square Garden box
ing impresario, that Al Mccoy, the
alleged middleweight champion of
this section of the world, had signed
articles of agreement calling for a
ten-rOund bout the night of March
8. Al will get his ten thousand dol
lars and Browne hopes he chokes
ON it,
The articles Of agreement stipulate
that the men shall enter the ring
weighing not more than 100 pounds
It is evident from this that Darcy
does not care to attempt the middle
weight limit, which has remained at
1853 pounds for a long time. Even IL
the Australian should dump the
Brooklyn scrapper on his ear for the
count it would mean practically moth
