cinating and as exciting as a mo-

STRIBLING AND DARCY
TO MEET TONIGHT At
{ OIL u N BUS PARK
Greatest Fight Ever Staged in
Georgia Promised Fans
There
DARCY is VETERAN PUG
Winner May Get Chsssate to
Meet Johnny Wilson Ia Mid
dleweight Championship

MACON, June 4. - Tonight,
when Young Stribling steps into
the roped arena with Jimmy Oar
cy at the Driving Park, in Column
bus, fans of the Electric City, and
some four or five hundred others
who will journey over from other
cities, are destined to see what is
expected to be the greatest prize
fight ever staged in the state of
Georgia.
The fight should be corker from
the first sounding of the gong. OAR
cy is known to be a wonderful bat
tier, a veteran Of many ring en-
gagements and a substantial victim
of many hard punches, while Strib-
ling, in the prime of his career,
as the great battle approaches, is
heart set on putting up the greatest
fight of any in which he has ever
participated
Both fighters realize that there
is much at stake tonight. For the
winner there will be honors untold,
with matches with other great men
promised. Stribling is aware of this
fact probably more So than' is his
opponent. Each morning before
the appearance of the rising sun,
for the past three weeks, Strib has
been seen packing the clay on the
road in Shirley Hills, where he
lives. He has not been content to
cover one mile, bud three, four
and sometimes five.
In the afternoon he has worked
hard at the Stribling Athletic club,
One moment he has worked with
Big Joe Burnam who stands six
feet, and weighs $50 pounds, and
a moment later would find him
swapping punches with lighter op-
ponents.
All this work more than Shib
has ever done in preparation for
any other battle, has been for the
purpose of making a commendable
appearance in Columbus tonight,
and for giving Darcy enough pun
ishment to make him either take
the count of ten or call in the
sponge.
1t is rumored that Johnny Viii
son, .middleweight champ, has
promised the winner of tonight's
scrap a chance at the crown. Strib
has been anxious to get a crack
at the title for some time, and the
will mako an earnest effort to
stage such an impression in the
Darcy battIs that the promoters
will be compelled to sit up and
take notice.
