Contrary to the generally ex- Pressed opinion, the departure of ‘Lee Darcy for America has had @ @ood effect on Australian box- tng, and instead of his absence Baling felt adversely, it has been appreciated, particularly by the rising generation of boxers, who will now get the chance they have been waiting for. Darcy, to put the position candidly, “killed the game,” as no one else would @raw any money, and now that he has gone, the other Doys, who were waiting for @ome one to elther come along and lick him or else for him to @ to America or retire because there “were no other worlds" to conquer, get a chance of de- veloping championship form and evolving into “stardom” in the fistio firmament. 1n short, noth- ing but good to the boxing gaine has happened as a result of his €landestine departure. ES isn't tho only Australian boxer who has taken a quick trip to other and safer climes, Mick King, former middleweight champion of that country, has writ-| @en a letter at sea to Snowy Baker. | Mick informed the promoter that he | f@ bound for America, “via nearly everywhere on earth.” He was board a tramp steamer which would ouch at India, Africa, the Canaries, Lendon, Gibraltar, Marseilles, Genoa abd Naples.

Sullivan jr., who were expelled from the United States Golf |] Association on the grounds of professionalism, which consisted of no | greater crime than engaging in the sporting goods business, A meeting was held in this city yesterday between officers of the Woodland Club, led by Irving J. French, who also is Secrotary of the U. 8. G A, and members of several clubs of the metropolitan section. Mr. French reiterated the statement he made earlier in the week that Oulmet and the others were dealt with unfairly when they were barred from amateur competition, This meeting was the forerunner of several that will be held to discuss plans for the reinstatement of the unfortunate players before the national golf body mects hore next Tuesday. There is a growing impression that enough votes will be mustered to bring about the re- instatement of the Bay State players.

By William Abbott. EX RICKARD, cowboy, miner and soldier of fortune, promises to be | the mainspring in Gotham’s box- ing circles. Rickard, holding agree- ments with Les Darcy and Georges Carpentier, expects to stage the inter- national scrap in Madison Square Gar- den. “We expect to have the Garden goon,” said Rickard to-day while dis- cussing the recent sale of the famous structure. “Sam McCracken knows the names of tho real owners of the Garden, We will shortly have a lease on the ampitheatre that a boxing license can not be refused. Charges brought against Chairman Wenck of ed commission won't make any dif- ference. answered Tex to a| the great French champion, “is anxious t6 come over here, 1 expect to hear any hour now that he has secured @ leuve of ab- sence from the army.

In their) eagerness to impress Carpentier of their influence with French officials they probably forgot that their cor) respondence bas been censored by the | French Government, The result has been that the proper officials have taken more time granting @ furlough to Carpentier.

Carpentier’s Journey Here Simply Delayed by Rival Says Rickard will be allowed to come over here. “And what @ great reception he'll receive. Carpentier lg a hero and he will be grected as one, judging from the letters 1 Frenchmen here, If the situation looked dublous for Carpentier to fight Darcy 1 would drop the bout, for what's the sense of worrying over something that probably cannot take place, 8 for Darcy,” continued Rickard, “he has promised to do nothing with- out my consent. He wants to fight Carpentier and has told me he will walt @ reasonable time, He fully realizes that the French champion ts his proper opponent, : ‘Darcy tsn't a developing fighter, He has made his mark and ts de- serving of getting the best matches and making a8 much money as he Of course, Carpenticr ts the opponent that could be signed. “If Carpentier is finally prevented from coming over here, Darcy has the pick of three American fighters, any one of whom would be a fine drawing card. But it is impossible that Darcy would be outpointed ten-round bout, which would take the edie his fight with Carpentier. Les, eve, would be at bis best in a twenty-round bout.” Rickard was inclined to pooh-pooh the fabulous offers other promoters have been making Carpentier, “Why,” exclaimed Goldfield’s notable citizen, “Carpentier accepted my offer of $45,000 when the other fellows began to tempt him with $25,000. Carpenter has stated bis intention of turning all his ring earnings over to French war rellef societies, but he won't have to do this.” Rickard expressed a hope of seeing the Boxing Commission taking a more aggressive stand in regulating the sport. He related how Darcy, after seeing our American clubs for the first time New Year's Day, said that they would not be tolerated in Aus- tralia. uring the conversation Rickard have received from | “THERE'S @ Poor, NUT over HERR = ve teen FASW :, No NuT!
