Corrie, Re York “eteclne Wort HE next day or so will decide the future movements of Les Darcy, the Australian fighter. Tex Rickard soon expects to know Positively whether or not Carpentier will be abfe to get away from the war abroad, and also hopes to an- nounce something of Importance re- @arding the lease of Madison Square Garden. In the event of the Carpen- tler match being off Rickard ts lkely to select another opponent for Darcy. It may be Levinsky, Al McCoy, or the Winner of to-morrow's battle in Brooklyn between Jack Dfllon and Billy iske, Tho latter has more than made good here, and probably sala be as geod a card as any of jem. Darcy's theatrical tour hasn't been ® howling e@uccess so far and this; may be the reason for his anxiety to t into the ring here. Over in Tren- m recently, it Is said, the night por- formance of the Darcy trip drew only 170. When {t is remembered that rey is signed to a $2,500 weekly ealary, the theatrical promoters would ha’ to be the Joe Grims of their profession to extend the tour to the contracted fifteen weeks at this nightly rate. ID WILLIAMS, the ex-bantam champion, is still complaining that he got the worst of it when Billy Rocap of Philadelphia @warded Pete Herrman the decision fm their recent New Orleans bout. wu has bombarded us with New Orleans papers containing Stories of the contest, and while none of them says Williains won, the gen- @fal opinion expressed is that he de- @erved no less than a draw, Rocap's decision, say the papers, was re- eived with ailence and surprise. ym what we know of Herrman LISTEN , Tere ‘em MY Name 1S \ Al AS Coy.

HARLEY WHITE'S friends -vill be glad to know he is on the mend. Old Good Eye, perhaps the best referee in the country, has een “under the weather” for nearly three montis, high blood pressure being his affliction. Charley was the Weinert-Miske bout at the Har- Jem Sporting Club Friday night and had to shake hands hundreds of times with well wishers. Just now Charley fe up at Jack Cooper's health farm at Stamford, Conn., putting on the finishing touches to his physical “come back.” ICK CURLEY w Les Darcy box at Trenton and reports that the Australian is the goods. Curley went «I] the way to the Jersey capital to offer Darcy cere just to sign articles to meet ttling Levinsky at the Clermont Avenue Rink. UMORED that Australians are! hoping that Les Darcy will re-| turn to Australia after two or three fights in this country, and that there's a movement on foot to present to the popular champion a large hhouse—one brick at a time, ICHIE MITCHELL, who ita matched to fight Freddy Welsh, believes that even if he fails to gather in the lightweight title there'll soon be a world’s champion in the Mitchell tamily Known as “Pinkey,” who has gath- ered a bunch of amateur titles and 1! soon be fighting as a professional inkey will be featherwelght cham- pion within two years,” Richie de- clares, “I don't believe that Kilbane wilt retire until he ia beaten, and that Will be when he flghts Pinkey. I con- aider myself a fairly clever boxer and nd teacher, and I've taught y everything I know, Some- 31 think he has me beaten with a few little tricks that he has worked out himself. When I was training for the Rivers fight Pinkey went over to Rivers one day and offered to give him a boxing lesson taken him up there might have been no Mitchell-Rivers match. In the Milwaukee A.

HE trouble about this young | schedule, we are not to get the real, big “Yes” or “No” until way along yonder in April. That means something like three months, and with the high cost of pa- per and everything it will take a lot of press-agenting and verbal warfare to keep young Mr. Strike alive and kicking. There are to be three meetings in New York this week—a minor league affair, a schedule committee gather- ing and a National Commission party. All of them will buzz one another more or leas about the players pot signing, but it will be a@ jong, lean wait, when they are through, to see if the players show up for practice tm the spring. A holdout right now is satisfactory to all concerned, but that hold back in April is what will count, As the International League ts nearer to the real front than the bat- tling big leaguers, they may do som) thing, but not if we are to be go’ erned by the remarks of Edward Bar- row, He and his confreres are more directly concerned right now in trying to duck the payment of that $9,000 Kiohie has a brother | Charles H.
