Advt. SPORTING GOSSIP (Frank G. Menke.) "Lies Darcy is a real fighter; one of the most brilliant that has flashed across the pugilistic norizon for many years." So says Captain Cushman A. Rice and "Cappy" knows a real scrapper when he sees one. The retired army officer has seen in action ' every one of the .pugilistic satellites of Amer ica, Europe and Australia, during the past five years. And to the Austra- lian champion he accords the distinc tion of being a real wonder. "Darcy knows the fight game," de clared Captain Rice. "He is fast, shifty, can take a tremendous lot of punishment and he. surely can hit. Yet Darcy never seems to aim for a one punch knockout. He cuts his man to ribbons first and then shoots over the crusher.' ' The most remarkable thing about Darcy is his hands. I noticed them first when I saw him fight in Syd ney, Australia, when I was there last winteri They impressed me as being the hugest I had ever seen. Later he was introduced to me and when we shook hands he practically smoth ered my right in his. Darcy, you know, was a blacksmith in his earl ier youth, and I guess they develop huge hands in that trade in Austra lia. "The most disconcerting thing has also been passed relating to such requirements, this law again necessari ly depending on the results of a search ing inquiry to be carried out when the war is over and the new conditions can be surveyed in the light there of. ; A considerable period must there fore even now elapse before the Zuyder Zee project eventuates. As a matter of fact, the first Zuyder Zee reclama tion bill was Introduced as long ago as 1877, and others of soubseouent date likewise failed to reach the statute book. But the whole of national opin ion now seems to be strongly behind the scheme. Moreover, Holland has a plentiful supply of monev at the ore sent time, the gold stocks of its cen tral bank being three and a half times as large as at the outbreak of war; and the war's effects both at home and abroad accustomed people to contem plating the expenditure of vast sums of money. The importance of such a re inforcement of the country's agricultur- ai land in peace ana war is not over looked, nor the opening the project will offer after the war to Dutch in- dustry and labor. The scheme has therefore better prospects of realiza- j tion than ever before in its long his tory. ::.ij;i.fniiJi5': - '-""''5 i CH, INaUINUA -Ar; 1 KNQCN f OCTOBER 1 6 1 9 1 6. about barcy 'ffrny eflian'ie pointf;. iistbatefoftener ?iie is chit f the harder he fights. J Usually, wheri a man "is walloped by another, two or three times he begins 16 back up. It is exactly . the reverse with the Aus tralian.; He really dosh't "slarl to battle-uiitiithe i other fellow lands on him. Butv just as soon as he is oh; the receiving end of a blow he begins rushing really begins to fight The harder and oftener they used to hit Battling Nelson the . morei fu rious would become his : attack. And after a while, you know,-.the other fellows quit hitting Bat. So it is With Darcy, except that Darcy doesn't fight, along Bat's old theory of "ake a dozen punches to land one.' ; When Darcy startsafter a man he continues to protect 'himself-rsomething . that Bat rarely did. I saw Darcy in his second fight With Eddie McGoorty. Many alibis since have been made for the second knockout of the American, but in my opinion Darcy beat him -because; he was the better man. McGoorty la clever, but Darcy was more so. Mc Goorty could time his punches and had a good eyes but Darcy, in both, was better than Eddie. The Austra lian . battered the American into a state bordering on helplessness and then sent over the morpheus swat - Captairi Rice recently received a letter from Australia which declared that it was possible for Darcy to come to the United States. The communi cation was from William F. Carbet, the most famous sporting writer in Australia. Carbet told me that if at least three matches could be arranged for 'Darcy it was likely that he would make the trip," said Captain Rice. "Darcy, of course, is subject to call to the European battle front. But I am sure he could come, to the States or three or four months if he could get fights with Mike Gibbons, Jack Dillon, Battling Levinsky, Bob Moha or some of the others. "Darcy is the particular pet of the Australian premier, and members of government there. Should actual bouts be framed for him here and his money be guaranteed, Darcy would come. His departure from Australia probably would' require the posting of a big bond, say ?15,000 or $20,000, but he wouldn't have any trouble getting it. "Over in Australia they arc keen for Darcy to try conclusions with Gib bons. Stories of Dillon's 'giant killer' deeds have peeped into Australia, and they've heard a lot there of Bat tling Levinsky. But they regard Gib-, bons as the ranking American mid dleweight and the cry is "Get Gib bons for Les.' Railway Mail Jubilee. ' New York. Oct. 16.
