THE CASE OF DARCY.

What ever became Of Les Darcy. the
Australian middleweight? asks a fight
fan.
Darcy died in Memphis Of a strep-
tocOccus Infection He was preparing
for a contest at the Southern Athletic
club which would have been his formal
United States debut,
The lad had been bounded out OF New
York by GOV. whitman and had been
pursued through the various states until
he reached louisiana, Finally louisiana
followed suit and Darcy was brought
to Memphis.
Tom Ashcroft. at that time mayor,
listened to the lads story and guaran-
teed him protection and assistance. Les
began light training and was taken
sick. He never recovered.
His body was prepared for burial in
Memphis and was sent TO San Fran
cisco, after services had first been con-
Quoted at st Brigids Catholic church.
The body laid in state for five days
in Frisco and then made the three
weeks trip on the water to Australia,

companied the body, as did Miss Grace
O'Sullivan, his fiancee. Rnd Mrs, OSul-
Ivan, her mother Tney arrived in
Memphis the morning OF the day that
Darcy died
Darcy had been matched with Jack
Dillon. who was ruling king Of the mid
dleweights at the time Al Mccoy was
holder Of the title but was only fluke
champion.
Al had won his honors with a wild
right that landed flush on the chin of
George Chip IN the first round in Brook
lyn knocking out the Pennsylvania
star,
Mccoy admitted that it was a lucky
punch but nevertheless it was worth
while.
This choppiag block was to meet
Darcy also in an Eastern ring but was
prevented from going through with the
contest by Whtman's jealous intcrfer-
CnCc.
A Dillon Darcy engagement was
looked upon as the greatest thing n

DARCY'S REP.

Darcy had left Australia with an en-
viable record. He had accomplished
the unbelievable in soundly trimming
the best that America could produce
George X. Q. Brown, Eddie McGoorty,
Jimmy Clabby and others. And he had
beaten each man at his own game.
McGoorty was a robust individual with
a punch but was pie for Darcy. Clabby
was one OF the cleVerest middleweights

Brown was a fighter all the way

 BE USED IN FLAG
(From Sundays Daily)

FLAGSTAFF, Jan. 31.-The whip pet tank, which roared and banged and clanked its way to victory in battle in the war against Germany, is putting horses and mules out of business in the great pine forests of northern Arizona.
 One big lumber concern here has just put two tanks to work, having bought them from the war depart ment Each tank has displaced 30 horses and IA men, according to com pany officials.
 Using horses, it was impossible for the company to haul during the win ter months on account of deep snow The tanks, however, take no account of weather conditions.
