LES DARCY DIDN'T GET
SQUARE TREATMENT IN
HIS SHORT STAY HERE

New York, June 8-Two weeks ago
in Memphis hospital one of the sad
dest careers of sportdom came to an
end--it was when Les Darcy, the Aus
tralian fighter passed away The doc

account of his death on the chart

land of the free to fight. in behalf of
his family and Australian relief work.
Over there he fought all over the con-
tinent and turned in the majority of
his earnings for the relief of the
wounded. He came here to do the
same thing-serving his family and
his country at the same time-and he
was given the worst deal man ever
had.
He was received with greats enthu-
siasm when he first landed and he was
offered bouts by many promoters who
were over-zealous to share in what he
would draw to the gate. And then
the tide commenced to turn against
him. An acquaintance from Austria
liza tried to exploit him and get part
of his earnings, and when he found
this couldn't be done, he started in to
ruin the Australian. He was to have
received sac, 900 for one fight which
was scheduled. and the governor of
the state in which it was to have
taken place refused to let the en-
counter be staged and referred to
Les Darcy as Stacker.
That was the beginning of the end.
Other states refused to let him fight
within their borders because this
Stacker story had circulated and two
lucrative Western bouts were can
celled. He had a remunerative bout
scheduled for the town in which he
was taken sick. The endless chain of
disappointments, worry over untrue
accusations, and perhaps homesick-
ness grew upon him. He began to
realize that instead of being among
friends and in a land Of the free that
he was among people who didn't want
to give him a chance. Yes, the hos
pital chart says pneumonia. Broken
spirits and a broken heart slipped
Les Darcy his last defeat.

"THE GIRL PHILIPPA"
A Great Feature Picture Story of the
War at the Temple this
Evening

w &K dL NttG
Evening
A patriotic Ocala day, who has seen
the picture story, 'The Girl Philippa,"
which is being run at the Temple to-
day, says that if a young man sees it
and does not at once offer his services
to his country, it is because there is
something the matter with him.
The picture is special 8-reel, blue
ribbon, Vitagraph feature. 1t is taken
from Robert W. Chambers greatest
story and illustrates the first days of
the war in France. Anita Stewart,
conceded to be Americas pretties,
movie actress, has the leading role.
The girl Philippa was the daughter
of a prince and princess; her parents
murdered during her bayhood, and
she condemned to the life of a
"slavey" in a French inn. In the open
ing days of the war, her beauty at
tracted the attention of an American
artist and event followed event until
her rights were discovered, the younk
artist in the meantime winning her
love.
Written in Chambers best style
well adapted to pictures by the artist
and replete with thrilling war scenes
it is indeed a fine picture, and those
who do not see it will miss some
thing.
