Mid m mn CUBBY WAS HARDEST

Australian Middleweight Here

Ies Parry, the sensational Australian pugilist who landed in- New York iast wek, says that Jimmy Claibby f Hammond is the hardest and best fighter from America whom he ever met at home, la New York yesterday Pnrry sadi: "While the fights in this country will prcba-bly be tf ten rounds the d JTerenee. between them and twenty encounters will not count against me. In ell my encounters I keep up a steady pace, with the firm intention of winning- aa quickly &3 possible. The i cason 1 make this explanation is that there are a. number of fighters ihat improve as the battle goes. With me there's no difference, so, therefore, I will not be handicapped in case 1 meet a lightning- opponent over here. The Americans I fought homo were all quick, so I think I'm pretty well acquainted with your style here. Ctabby Gave Hardest Kitht. Mimmy Clabby -was about the best American I fought home. Our last light was rather disappointing, for Jimmy clinched at every opportunity. He had wagered he would stay the twenty round route and naturally adopted the best method to win h!s money. Jeff Frnith was th foulest

I Walter Johnson Got Bad Breaks; j is Good as Ever, j

j A lot of fans are under the im-pressio-n that Walter Johnson is ; not the speed king of old, because 1 of the regularity with which he j -was beaten last Beason. American I ieague batters are not of the same f opinion, although Walter's record ; in 1916 in no way compares with some of his former pitching efforts. It is doubtful if Johnson will have '' another year in which so many of j the breaks of the game will go against him. It also seemed to be j his fate to work when the Wash- ! Ington batters were taking a day t off. Many cvf the -defeats charged 1 against him last year would have j been turned into victories had his ! tea-been able to offer a little bat-

fighter I met. In our last encounter he fouled me at least five times. Smith is a fighter that travels' a merry pace when he's winning, but when it's the other way he appears to be ready to quit. Eddie McGoorty's first tight with rue didn't take well, for there were reports that he wagered heavily on me to win. In our next match he figured he would win and back himself. Rather double-crossing himself, it appeared to me. "It seems that everybody I've been fortunate to meet seems to make every possible effort to make things as pleasant as possible. This is very nice, and I appreciate, it greatly, for rest assured that I intend to repay all this kindness when I enter the ring to show the kind people that titer endeavors were not wasted."

KELLY READY TO TACKLE RUSSELL CHICAGO. Pec. 2S. The back fur on Doc Krone's rotund neck assumed a standing position yesterday when he heard that Spike Kelly was reported as being afraid to meet Reb (Young) Russell, George Ferguson's South Side welterweight. "Spike never ran from anything that had two fists," said Poe. "As tf Russell we'll take him on now, tomorrow or any old time Ferguson says the word. He don't have to give us any weight. I dont want any Bidvantage whatsoever. We will take the same terms he does so that when we

beat him he won't have any alibi."

Les Darcy, the great Australian middleweight, who stowed away on a vessel bound for Chili and finally arrived in New York aboard a Standard Oil boat from South America, is ready to fight everybody here from Jess Willard down. Though he will probably box at 158 pounds, he wants the first chance at Willard, who fights at abont 260. Perhaps he will be matched with Georges Carpentier, if the boxing soldier of France can be brought to the United States.

Stecher For Winner. f-'AN FHAN'O.), Pc. The winner of the wrestling match next Tuesday between "Strangler" Lewis and Ad Santel will be matched to meet Joe Stecher in Pan Francisco on Washington's birthday, according to a

i Kaufl's Poor Work I I is Big Surprise of

the Past Season. I'crhaps the biggest surprise in the. .National league averages for litis was the showing of Benny Kauff at the bat. The shining star of the Federal league was expected to make merry at the expense of the National league pitchers, but failed dismally. In all probability Kauff was more surprised and disgusted with his work than , his most loyal supporters. KauIT in 1915 had led the Federal league with an average of .314. It was freely predicted that he would be one. two, three among the National league hitters. During- the winter he was touted to the 'skies, yet hia average for the last season was

only .264. Kauff insists that overanxiety, caused by an effort to j live up to ait thf flattering things j that weif printed about him, was his greatest trouble. He expects i to come back next year and prove j that he is a legitimate hitter, i
