George Chip’s Seconde Have Trouble in Bringing Him To After Australian Hit Him. Snowy Baker, the Australian promoter, sent the following as an aftermath of the Les Darcy-George Chip fight in Sydney on September 73ftwhich Darcy won with a knockout in the ninth round. Chip was in a bad way after being knocked out, and his seconds had some trouble in bringing him to. Tom McMahon was pulling his hair and shak-

ing his hand, while Jimmy Dime was slapping his face and in other ways trying to resuscitate him. At last George came to with a jerk, and when Dime called to him, he seemed as though he woke with a start,' for he said: “Hello! What’s wrong?” Dime smiled a sad, grim smile, and replied: , “You’ve been knocked out.” Chip looked at Dime for a few seconds and then grinned: “Quit trying to kid me, Jimmy,” he said. “How could I be knocked out when the fight doesn’t begin until tonight?” Dime had quite a time convincing the stupefied Chip that he wasn’t In his own bed on the morning before the fight, but that he actually was on the floor of the ring in which Darcy had dealt out to him such a crushlng defeat
