To thin miJKt he supplemented the fart that the Aimtrallan ta not coming to America to fihtor for any other purpose, for tint matter. The Antipodean authorities rlmply will not permit their Idol to haul lit American dollars while there la a war RJiiiil on. Several months ago report was current that I.es Darcy was contemplating a trip to the state. He waa coming for the avowed purpose of cleaning out our middleweight class. At the tlma this column stated positively that larcy would not come to America for at leant another year. Later developments have substantiated this statement. Promoter Mold lllm Bark. It Is stated that the Australian govern ment la seriously considering sending laicy to the first line of battle Into tho trenches. This may be so, but we are quite certain that should this come to Vas II would be at the Inst lKn Ion of at hers besides government officials. Professional Jealousy Is keeping Darcy In Australia against his wishes. The lad lie Is but !0-is keen for a tour of the slates, and he looked upon such a sojourn aa the realization of his boyhood dreams. But greedy, avaricious promoters are thwarting Darcy' plans, and Amer icans may never be afforded the chance to see the newest pugilistic phenom In action. " The subject of a trip to the United states waa first broached to Darcy by an American handler of boxers. Thla man has a wide acquaintance with the sporting element In thla country, and promised Darcy a hearty reception here, liut Aus tralia promoters could not see an Amer ican "stealing" their most formidable fighter and greatest drawing card. The critics deplored Darcy' proposed depar ture from Australia. Soma tossed the harpoon Into htm for trying to leave his native land after what It had done for him; other mentioned Amerlan enter prise aa outwitting trusting Australian. Darcy Ignored these thrusts until some one intimated that Lea waa going to America to escape, military service. Mast Walt on War. Thla waa flaunting an untruth and Darcy waa riled. It soon got to the authorities through an undercurrent, and they requested Mr. Iarcy to stay. Les Importuned the officials to lot him go to America for six months, so that he could clean up our middleweight crop, lie promised to return when tho halt year waa up. Hut the authorities were adamant and Darcy must slay at home until the war la over at least A resume of the fight records for 1916 clinch the fact that Darcy is among the world's greatest fighters. I?R engaged In thirteen battles during the year JiiHt ended and all went to a decision. Darcy gained the award In twelve of the thir teen bouts. He lost tha one bout to Jeff Smith on points early In the year. Darcy afterwards won from Smith In . two rounds. As a matter of fact, Darcy was the only fighter to participate exclusively in de cision bouts during the year. Charley White, the Chicago lightweight, waa a principal In eleven decisive bouts, win ning ten and drawing one, but he also took part in seven no-dec talon contests. Thene are' the only two top-notch fight ers to figure In two-figure decision bouts during MIS. Hafety Vlrat tor These. On the other hand, consider tho 1S.S records of Freddy Welsh and Johnny Kilhanw, lightweight and featherweight champions, respectively. Welsh was a party to nineteen bouts during the year, nd every one of these was a no-decUlon affair. Kllbane' had fifteen flKhts. and every one of these was one of thoae no-dtx-tslon things. Kine pair of champions, eh? Well, it's Just In keeping with the r "safety first' policies to avoid all chances of losing their titles In decUlon contests Some of the other ranking fighter who Old not trust themselves in decision con tests during were Milte Gibbons, Wllllo Ritchie and Young Shugrue. As was the cik In Unfiling I,c- vlnsky was the chief offender In 1915.

Eihlw Wullace, who fought Kilhane and Williams In one month had twenty tl.lils, sixteen no decision and four resulted In his favor.

Joo Tinker Finds He Double-Crossed Himself on H. Zim By FRANK O. HE9TKID. NEW YORK, Jan. 22,-Charle Webb Murphy and hi associates paid $115,0no for the complete control of the ChlcagA Cubs late In the winter of 1905-06, and during the lent season the team cleared tlUo.QOO-a net profit of exactly 0,000 above the total cost of the club. The story of the Cubs and how Charlie Murphy "ran a sliorestrlng Into ll.OOO.Oun" Is tha real romance In base ball. Jim Hart owned the Cubs when it was noised around that he wanted to sell. Murphy at that time was a newspaper man. He had H.0OO or 6.0CO. He went to Unit, aked for an option on the club, and then hustled back to Cincinnati. "lye got a chance to buy a ball club for ete.000," Murphy told Charles I. Taft. owner of the paper for which Mur phy worked. "I think that' a bargain figure. I a in sure money can be roade In the ownership cf tha team. Will you go In with me on thUT" Taft Ptaaueea Deal. When Taft found that Murphy waa will ing to risk alt hi money In the venture. Taft agreed to go In with Murphy in the purchase of the team. Murphy got 40 per cent of the stock, Frank Chance got 10 per cent, Charle Bchtnalstlg, a lawyer and a friend of Taft' got 10 per cent for hla aervlee as attorney In the deal, and Taft got the other W per cent. Taft put up most of the cash. When It earn time to cloae the deal Murphy produced tha Jne.OOO. but Hart demanded an extra 110.000 a "my com mlnslon." This request floored Murphy and he arud long and fluently with Hart agaiiujt paying the extra 10,000. But Hart was obdurate. Murphy finally went to Taft and explained tha altuatlon T.ft produced the other $10,000. With the chng In ownership the Cub seemed to become transformed. They never had been figured a real ball club, yet. In tlmir first year under the Mui'DhvTaft tegUnc they won the Na tional league pennant and grabbed off a slice of world series gold. In IWis the Cub, then grown to t on of the greatest drawing card in tha Na tional league, cleared 1185.000, and l the following year-190-the high water mark In profits was reached when the team cleared $120,000 for it owner. Million a t Uaartvr Met Profit. The next best sr. ark mad by the Cubs was In 1310, when they grabbed off 8300,000 a their share in the regular season and world erlca contest. The poorest show ing made by the Cub was in 1S16, when the net profit wcro estimated at around J,0tl0. Never once under the Taft-Murphy re gime did the Cuba finish a loser in a financial way. During the ten year that Tatl and Murphy controlled tha club vm to 115 the cub cleared approxl- j malely tl.3fO.000, a 1,000 per cent return on their money. Add to this the I500.W ld for the Taft-Murphy holdings of stock by Charto Weeghman and you'll find that the 1115,000 investment oC 1936 returned cloae to 11.400,000 which 1 a fair 1 return yes, quit fair. FIELDER JONES HAS DREAM Brownie Manager Suggest Plant to Seat 150,000 Be Erected for the World' Serie. PRESENT PARKS FAR TOO SMALL Fielder Jones ha an idea, which Isn't unusual, although his newest scheme is novel, indeed almost a dream and dan gerously near the "pipe" variety. Fielder ay: "Why wouldn't it be a good Plan to build in soma neutral city a base ball stadium that would seat 150,000 fans and maintain thl plant solely for the world' series T You oould then make base ball truly a national game and afford seat for the vast multitude of person from all corners of the United States who can not, under th present scheme, be as sured of seat at the annual fall classic." This suggestion, spontaneous and un developed, waa provoked by the state ment wade by Paulson Ball, aon of the nsw Brown president, who say he saw a crowd of lMXOOO persons at a foot ball match in Australia, Jones was given time to think and elucidate. He contin ued: Kveat of Great Appeal. "The world' aerie really ta something apart from the pennant races of the Na tional and American leagues. It is the grand climax of two stirring race and1 appeal a strongly to tha man in Bangor, Ma., aa it doe to the fan in Portland, Ore., or the rooter in the city of the club which ha won one of th pennants. "The sorle advertises itself. Base ball get liberal space in the new columns of every paper in th country, and the world' series ia seriously handled hy the small town papers as well a th metro politan dallies. "In a world' champlonuhlp prise fight, which almost always ia staged in some out of the way place, like Cuba or Ne vada, there must be a carta In amount of artificial boosting done. Yet, with the aid of these puffs in th news column thousand of follower of boxing 'are driven across th continent, or sometime th ocean to ace th battle. Nation-Wide Pabllrlty, "You don't need a press agent for the world series. It will advertise Itself. Interest 1 sustained in- thl event from April to October by virtue of th pennant fights in th two league. They begin to speculate on th world' series In August and keep it up until the classic I over. Therefore there U an unusual interest taken In it by person in all part of the country, ' "But do you think the royal rooter of Texas or California will risk a trip to New York or Boston or Chicago or Ft ' - I Louis unless they know somebody on the 'Inside' who will furnish a reserved seat? I ay they don't However, if we had a park that would seat 150,000 or 200,000, all these fans would come a-troop-Ing, serenely confident of getting a chair at ringside. "Buch a plant would not represent a tremendous investment. The new Boston Braves' park la cold to have cost fSOO.OOO, but a great portion of that was for the grounds. Then there waa a difficult job of grading and tilling in. Ballt ob Free Ground. "My idea la that a colossal plant could be built 'on ground donated by a certain community and possibly with a natural amphitheater effect, and a part of tho expense should bo. borne by railroad and other who will profit by the business drawn to th series. It might be put through by Organised Baa Ball at an outlay of 1100,000 or so, on its part,- taking It for granted that there would be ouulde help. Its maintenance would b insig nificant "It should be built close to the center of population, unquestionably in the east. or possibly in the south, where better weather would be guaranteed in October. The championship teams could repair there a week in advance of th aerie opening and get . acquainted with the place. The fan would find such a spot if it location vtti kept a dark secret by the newspaper. "Then we would really have a national climax to the national game. The masses would be able to look up, and greater in terest would be developed in baa tall. In a few year the increased revenue from eat sale would pay for the invest ment, even though seats would be sold cheaper than they now are." That's a far aa Fielder went with the idea because no on vouchfased to pro tect him from th squirrels. Anyhow, he beean to feel like Filbert, the Colonel of th Nuts, CENTRALS TO PLAY BEATRICE Athletio Relations Re-established and Strong Team Will Come ' Here Next. BASKET FLIPPERS ACT NICELY With Lincoln and Red Oak disposed of the Omaha High basket ball team seems to be aimed toward a successful season. Although defeated by Council Bluffs High in the first game of the season. It should be remembered that the locals started out the season with only two of last year' first string men, the others being new men to the team. The following week this same team came back and disposed of Lincoln in a manner that was satisfactory to all. Friday night the strong Red Oak (Ia.) High team waa taken into camp. It was this team that handed a defeat to the local last season that waa entirely un expected. Beatrice will come here next Friday night and they are expected to give Omaha a hard run. . Athletic relations that have been severed between these two schools for several year have been re-established, and Beatrice will probably be on the foot ball schedule next year.
