00 Leach Cross Sends His Check to Help Swell Fund Being Raised for Kid Lavigne. (The New 1) LAVIGNE have fallen hard but he isn't yet forgotten. The fie" being arranged for bim by Fitzpatrick has brought out « lot of friends of the old days, and who know Lavigne only reputa- tion. Among those who have written to offer sympathy and something more substantial to the old ebampion is Leach Cross, And just to show that even such a hard game as fighting doesn't eliminate the kindlier ete- ments in a man's nature, here's Leachie’s letter “Dear Mr. Edgren find my check for to donate to th George Lavigne that John saw fit to eard of bouts on for old-time | champion, upon some Inclosed p' me eve- ning that this worthy benefit ia on. 1 for one, and am sure all the boxers on the card, would offer their services gladly. 1 hope the affair is a tre- mendous success, and only hope our show or this coming affair is post- poned #0 that I can take an active part Yours in sport, “LEACH CROSS," (Dr, L.

Dec, M, Sam Fitzpatrick has announced this after a conference with John Reisler, who has bouts scheduled at the Harlem 8} Club for the original date, Dec, 17. Reisler has made « real good move by agreeing to give Fitzpatrick the Dec, 21 date at his club for the benefit and promising to pay all the expenses which Fitz- patrick had incurred for the Dec. 17 date at the Pioneer Club, where the event was Iy echeduled to be e' Another letter: “Dear Mr, Edgren: find check for § see that George on the night oblige, of his benefit?

Anything sent to me for Lavigne will be given to him on the night of his benefit. Where checks are sent it might be best to make them payable to George La- vigne himself, as the sender will then get back his check with Lavigne'’s g@gnature as a souvenir of the oc- easion. HE boxing critic of the Sydnoy Referee has a pretty high opin- of Les Darcy's fighting ability, In commenting on Darcy he says: “Jimmy Clabby brought all his former briliiancy into play, but was beaten in every branch of the game, and by one who has had litle more than @ brief twelve months’ experi- | @nce among the topnotchers. ‘This mere boy lias improved so marvel- lously in a short time as to outshine the best of his period, “Bob Fitzsimmons would probably have defeated him, and Jim Hail might have succeeded, “although there is a probability Darcy woul have outgamed him. Dan Darcy would have bee match, but it is likely that Jack Dempsey would have been too small for him. Thi Is how I place this boy, who i: yet twenty years old, | with the greatest middleweights the world has known. “Darcy is a marvel. ter boi Clabby He !s a bet- D WOLGAST hasn't any doubt | oUt about Jess Willard’s fighting abilty, | "The first time [ saw Willard I} thought there wouldn't be many who could beat him,” said Ad yesterday, “He looked so good that I told Tom Jones to go and ty to sign him up, He looked tike a gold mine to me, If gave Jones $700 to use in giving Wil- | lard an advance on his contract, to make it a sure thing. Willard was as good as | thought. He's the grea jt heavyweight champlon we ever had.
