was nothing unsportsmanlike in 1t. In

BOXER SUCCUMBS
AFTER FIGHT K. 0.
Darmon, FIoored by Koppy in
Detroit, Never RegainS
Consciousness.

By the Associated Press.
~ ETROIT, January 25.-Mickey
Darmon, 20, Detroit lightweight
boxer, died at am. today in
Providence Hospital, following
a knockout in the Olympia ring last
night at the hands of Eddie Koppy, also
of Detroit.
Darmon, whose real name was Mich
olas Darmand, did not regain con-
seriousness after reaching the hospital.
He was knocked out in the fifth round
of a Surround fcht by a right to the
jaw. The bout was one of the prelim-
inaries to the Archie Bell-Tommy Paul
fight
Koppy, his manager, Charlie Moore;
Referee Sam HenneSSey and Doc Casey,
Darmons chief handler, were ques-
toned by Van H. Ring, an assistant
prosecuting attorney, after the fight,
but were not held. Ring, who was a
spectator at the ringSide, ruled that
Darmon was the victim of legitimate
knockout.
Darmon was on the losing end of the
fight from the start. Koppy tied him
up with rights in the first round and
had him on the verge of a knockout
in the fifth when Koppy connected with
a smashing right while the fighters
were mixing it in q neutral corner.
Darmon fell to the canvas and struck
his head on the floor as he dropped nat
on his back. Referee Hennessey, at
first not realizing the condition of OAR
mon, began the count. Soon, however,
he realized that Darmon was not the
victim of an ordinary knock out and be-
gan attempting to resusitate him. A ply
stefan representing the State Boxing
Commission also worked over Darmon,
and when he failed to regain conscious
ness he was removed to his dressing
room and then to the hospital.
In accordance with the rules of the
State Boxing Commission Darmon was
examined at weighing-in time by
physician and reported in good physical
condition.
AS a result of Darmon's death, the
principals questioned last night and
Scotty Montieth, matchmaker at
Olympia, will be questioned again
today.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

0HICAGO., January 25.-Donie
Bush, the Chicago White Soxs
new manager, thinks he has q
new shining star in Smead Jol-
ley, his new outfield recruit from San
Francisco.
Hes a hitter" declares Bush. II
have seen him perform, and know that
ne can slam any sort of pitching.
Usually I don't talk much about ball
player until he proves himself in the
majors, but If Earl Averill of Cleveland
and Roy Johnson of Detroit can hit
better than 800 in the American
League, know Jolley can do as well,
and perhaps better.
They're saying that Jolley is not q
good fielder, but he isn't the worst. He
has one of the greatest arms in base
ball and sure pair Of hands. He can
come around.
Peck Taught Him.
Neither was Averill a great OUT
fielder in the Pacific Coast League, but
Roger Peckinpaugh made him one OF
the fielding sharks of the American
League last Summer During Spring
training Peck would hit fungoes to
Averill by the hour. The boy was am
bilious and quickly became a sure Judge

things for jolly with the same recipe"
The new Sox recruit is ambitious TO
outplay Averill and johnson, his team
mates on the Seals, who preceded him
into the big tent by one year. These
three when together formed the greatest
single outfield the Pacific Coast League
had known. During the 1928 campaign
one OF the three hit a home run every
day for more than IS consecutive DAYS.
When Billy Evans, general manager
OF the Cleveland Indians, went West In
the Fall of 1928 he offered the San
Francisco owners $4,000 for their OUT
field intact. When he failed to make
that deal he purchased Averill. Detroit
then took johnson, and now the Sox
have Jolley.
Give Color to League.
These three young outfelders will add
lot OF color to the 1880 American
League race. johnson is one of the
fastest men in the big show, and will
develop into a greater hitter than In
1929. Averill is fine, stylish hitter
and one of the best center felders since

CHICAGO, January 25.-The Dundee
family of Baltimore will receive no more
professional attention from Jackie
Fields Cborn jake Finkelstein), welter-
weight champion of the world.
Fields last night in the Chicago Sta
dunn, accomplished his fourth and most
convincing victory over Vince, the
younger Of the Dundees of Baltimore,
and having won his title from Joe, the
elder, believes that five beatings should
convince any family.
Vince had given Fields vigorous COM
petition on three previous occasions, but
last night came within a whisker of
being knocked out. After the second
round Of their 10-round engagement
Dundee took terrific leathering. He
was knocked down four times in the
third round, and was in distress later in
the fight. He went down under Fields
vicious attack twice for the count of
eight, once for nine, and was on the
floor for the fourth time when the bell
ended the third round. He made q
game stand, and In the final round
used everything he had left, but was

up to see what was going on. It was
just one OF those things that are used
to keep the customers from becoming
impatient while they are awaiting the
big developments.
AS Jack Dempsey left the ring in
triumph his successor was climbing
rather diffdently through the ropes
and hoping that some expert might
look at him for a second or two. All
of this time he was sure that he would
become the heavyweight champion, bur
hoping that somebody besides himself
would believe It,.
Had No Illusions.
TUNNEY was intelligent enough to
i have no illusions about the prize
4eht business. That is why he beat
the game as no fighter before him beat
1t. He had such confidence in himself
that he would have fought Dempsey
for nothing In that Philadelphia fight.
AS 1t was, he got what was left out of
100000 after he had paid his training
expenses and divided with his retains
erS, as compared to more than half a
million received by Dempsey, who was
in the way of being a co-partner with
the promoter, Richard.
But In the second bout Tunney was
the champion, and he played that role
for all 1t was worth. This time he got
a million dollars the largest sum ever
paid to prizefighter Even at that
time, he was getting ready to quit the
ring. He had enough and he had other
interests calling him. In fact, they
always had been calling him.
In the last fight Tunney was knocked
down for the first time in his life. Had
that been any other fighter who re-
ceived all that Dempsey could give on
the most vulnerable point, Dempsey
would have regained the champion
snip. But the will of Tunney and the
PHYSIQUE that he had built syntheti-
cally-aS they claim-brought him UP
TO down Dempsey in succeeding round.
When Tunney retired they began to
realize that he was one of the most
formidable fighters that ever entered
the ring. He did not knock them out
with a punch as Dempsey did. But it
was discovered that after they fought
Iunney they never were much good
arterWard. He ruined Greb,' he dis
couraged Dempsey. They wanted no
And in the end they say that the
nght game never was the same when
ne lett 1t nat. Perhaps that was his
greatest victory. He showed up that
sordld business for what it really is.
