 AGREE

DARBY MEETS ST. H|LLAIR TONIGHT
 IN FEATURE BOUT AT NEW LONDON

What promises to be the best box show to be staged in eastern Connec- ticut in many years, will be that which will be produced at the show of the National Athletic Club, New London. Wednesday evening and judging by the demand for tickets the followers of fistiana realize that the bill is one of par excellence. Never within the history of the oldest follower of the game has such a card been staged Tn New London for thirty-two rounds Of boxing is to be served the fans and between boys of real class and evenly matched.
 The star bout needs no praise for those who witnessed the previous bout between Johnny Darcy of New 1ork and Joe St. Hillair of Concord at the National Club well remember the thrill
 ling encounter these boys put up and
 the fans well remember the seT7sa-
 tional knockout of St. Hua1r in the ninth frame when he had the bout we'll
 in hand, apparently. Darcy and St. Hill
 lair are in the best possible shape, ac-
 cording to their managers, who eacn predict a victory for their boy. The pair had agreed to start over the
 twelve round course and at 13S pounds.
 dn the semi final of eight rounds at
 145 pounds between Young Martin Flaherty of Lowell, Mass, and George
 Bush of New York, a bout that should furnish plenty of action from bell to bell is in store for the fans. F1aherty has had it easy in his two previous
 starts, not that he has not been pit ted against good boys, but because he was far their superior, fact that had to be brought about by performances. ! In Bush, however, he will meet the i toughest boy of Flaherty's career for l the New Yorker is both clever and ! holds a sock in either hand. His re- cent performances in New York have | made him desirable opponent for the best boys at his weight at the New l York clubs and he is sure to make | E1aherty extend himself.
 Two excellent six round prelimina- ries Soldier Gibson, the idol of the 1 New London Artillery district, will battle Young Toronto of Fairfield who has been substituted for Wilbur l Jennings because of an accident that l the latter sustained. while in training l These boys are hard workers and will 1 give the fans a good run for their money In the curtain raiser Benny Nelson of Lowell will go against Car l man Cook, of Bridgeport. formerly ot Philadelphia and one of the best boys | at the 125 poundage in the game to-
 day While Cook is a master fighter he is destined to be put to the acid
 test. for in Nelson he will be up against

 and exceptionally good looking fel-
 low for a, fighter, but if there is one thing better than another that Low ell scfapper likes, it is fighting anc | he is some fighter" In these boys followers of the game will witness ont of the best opening bouts ever stag ed hereabouts.

MdGRAW WILL GIVE
 oAcoNNELL HIS CHANCE

Johnny McGraw is going to start Jimmy O'Connen the $75,000 wonder from San Francisco, in center field next spring and keep him there as long as the rookie makes good. This was the gist of a statement by the Giants manager on prospects for next season. -"
 Barring accidents, plaques and other things" McGraw declared, o. Cornell will be the regular center fielder of the Giants when the 1923 season opens. He'll get. the same course of treatment that Ralph Shinners got last spring. He'll be assigned to the regular team at the training camp and hen be kept in center field, come what may. Every chance will be afforded him to make good. want him to feel that he won't be ranked out of the lineup if he doesn't star like a million dollars. It Is a great help to a you&g- ster to feel that the manager is go- ing to give him plenty of time to make good.
 tSack Miller. the San Francisco manager tells me that, O'Cohnell, in his first year as a center fielder this season, came along rapidly and is practically ready for a berth with the Gian0s. Well, he'll surely get chance
 If he should prove to be a disap- pointment, I'll have Bill Cunningham Casey Stensel, Dave Robertson and Ralph Shinners ready to fight for the position. Cunningham, by his excel lent work in the worlds series, show ed that he has come along fast. He is the kind which develops slowly but steadily, and have great confidence in Bill.
 Looking over the prospects, Fn convinced that the Giants are stronger now than they were a. year ago al this time. Hugh McQuillan and Jacl Scott, with Bentley as a possibility more than make up for the loss of To- ney and Douglass who were on th' pitching staff year ago. Don't over look Claude Jonnard, either. Groh vii be better with a winters rest and { fresh start in the spring. He's still tn, best third baseman in the Nationa League"
 McGraw said he has not yet decid ed about the location of the training camp. The choice lies between Sal Antonio and a place in California. Dr Strub, President of the San Francisc' | club, will be in New York Sunda, , to lay before the Giants chieftain tn | advantag ges of training in the, Colder
