He suggests that $30,000! > would be about right for three fights,| | and wants the m y posted in a Canadian bank. \pparentiy, Les has heard some bard ‘sics about out pro- moters. Darcy bas been writing letters tu Kearns, ho took Billy Murray to @ustralia and who is now in San Teancisco. He .ys that he has turned down all offers from Hugh McIntosh, and that he wants Kearns to handlo hie business if he makes the American trip. The only thing Darcy will have to overcome is a little opposition from the Australian military authoriti who refuse to sllow any ¢lo- bodied | Australian to leave the continent dur- ing tho war.

By Vincent Treanor 0-DAY winds up the first half of the race meeting at the Jamaica track, To-morrow the season begins at Belmont Park, where there will be eighteen days of racing. The Jamaica meeting has been 4 sort of preliminary to the real thing, in a racing way, which always comes with the opening of Belmont’s gates. From now on “the class" of the thor- oughbred world will be seen in action. Some of the principal stakes of the season will be decided at Belmont, among them the classic Metropolitan Handicap, run to-morrow; the Ju- venile, which brings together the cream of the two-year-old division; the renewal of the time honored Suburban, the Toboggan, the With- ers, the Belmont and the Keene Memorial.

Just tough luck robbed Jerry Car- roll of the honor of winning the Stuy- vesant Handicap with Mustard yes- terday. After running a capital race, the Coe colt was beaten out in the closing strides by Helmont’s Fern- rock.

Yesterday Sam reappeared in the plater’s division at the entered price of $800, He won his race, but not un- tll he gave his backers several heart~ aches, Strange to say, he wasn't bid up. Billy Hogan “of the hunts” nearly got away with a good thing in Agon in the second race. Agon was at a Juicy price and finished second, not being quite good enough to overtake Ancon.

By Bozeman Bulger. ESPITE other mad rushes for positions by Yanks, Braves, Senators and Indians, the eyes of the big leagues are to-day focussed on Cincinnati, wherein the Giants and Reds are battling in a rather unique cause, It is the last appearance of McGraw's bombardiers on their first swing around the Western front, and the one game stands between them and a record the like of which no club has established since Hans Wagner Kot out of kneo pants. Having won twelve straight it would be a sentimental calamity for the Giants to drop the last one and spoll the sensational sweep. As evi- denced by the recent shifting of his pitching staff McGraw has set him- self for one big plinge and to win this one he will sacrifice every twirl- ing machine he has in the shop. It is one of the caprices of baseball, how- ever, that on those very occasions something bobs up to upset the beans. If the Giants did not realize /that this is the big moment they might have easy sailing, but—well, the fight is on. We'll see. As golfers say, there is always danger in trying to press. A satisfying feature to the last triumph over the Reds was that Mathewson, the hero of old, was called at the last minute to stem the tide with a man on third, one out and only one run needed to tie, and got away with it. A short grounder to Fletcher got the run- few at the plate, and the nert Red died on a pop fly. And this, mind you, after both Benton and Tes- reau had been driven to cover. That is the Matty that New York fans like to cheer, and he got his full share around the clubs and gathering places last night. The return of Matty ts right now the talk of the baseball end of town. The invasion of the Eastern teams Jack Britton, the new welterweight champion, will be a very busy fighter for the next five weeks, as his manager, Danny Morgan, hi igned him up for four battles in that short period of time.

Donovan's team has something due them from these Browns and are going after it to-day. There is a chance for the Red Sox to knock us out of third place, a matter that must be looked after with great care. With an unexpectedly strong pitch- ing staff the Senators are still hold- ing their own as leaders of the Amor- jean League, but they are up against tough going in the near future, The Indians, but a half game behind, will soon be back on their own stamping grounds for a long string of games, while the Senators will be on the road.
