; FAMOUS FIGHTERS LIKE DARCY MADE RING HISTORY HERE Peter Jackson, Fitzsimmons, Frank Slavin, Jim Hall and Young Griffo Among Men Australi ja Has Contributed to Prize Ring —Lanky Bob Perhaps Greatest of Lot, Winning Three ‘Championships in This Country. Copyright, 1916, by the Presse Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World). LTHOUGH the whole boxing A Les isn’t the only great figh world is talking of Les Darcy to-day ter, or the greatest fighter, that ever came out of Australia, Years ago, when ring fighting was at its height as @ sport, and the cd ten rouna no-decision affair hadn't been accepted as a compromise in- nocuous enough to “get by” in nervous State Legislatures, Australia turned out many of the greatest men the ring has ever known, Their feats are unknown to tho younger generation, but still fresh in the memories of the old timers. There was the great Peter Jack- son—the man who made John L. Sullivan draw the color line. Peter might have been champion of the world if Sullivan had met him, for when Peter came to America he was @ marvellous heavyweight and in his prime, while Sullivan was be- ginning to show the effect of fast living.

Jeffries, by the way, refused to knock Peter out when a few blows had rendered him helpless, and asked the referee to stop the fight, Frank Slavin, born in Maitland (Darey's home), was as big as Jack son, white, and has a wonderful fight- ing record. He knocked out famo heavyweights in Australia, America and England during twenty-two rs in the ring, His last fight was in 1907, A few months ago, a powerful man In spite of his fifty-four years, he went to the European war as a Canadian volunteer.

Bob Fitzsimmons was the greatest fighter ever sent out from the An- tipodes, Bob was born in Nelston, Cornwall, in 1863. His career was longer than slavin's, Golng to New Zealand when a boy, he worked as a Lorseshoer and begun fighting in Jem Mace's tournament in 1880, knocking out four men and winning the cham- pionship of New Zealand tn his first series of contests.

One of his managers used to divide Griffo's end of the purse into two piles—a fat pile of $1 bills and a thin pile of big bills, and offer Griffo his choice, Griffo always grabbed the fat pile of $1 bille»—two or three hundred—and rushed headlong out to spend it, while the manager pocketed ® couple of thousands, There were other famous Austral- fans, of course, Billy Murphy, Tim Murphy, Arthur Cripps, Joe Goddard, a lot of good fighting men, They we all champions—or very near St their day, and if Les Darcy “makes ood” in America as cleanly and fairly as they did before him he'll do well enough.
