HOOSIER MIDDLEWEIGHT ANNOUNCES HIS RETIREMENT FROM FIGHT GAME Jimmy Clabby, Hammond B oy, Turns Down Offer of Return Bout in Australia B efore Sailing for America Antipodeans Pick Chip to Beat Darcy. ,

SYDNEY. X. S. "W.. Jim. 15. (hy mail) Jimmy Clahhy doesn't want to meet Fred Kay again, no matter what is offered him as an inducement. Before his departure for America he was offered a big: guaranty to box the Australian "Kangaroo" boxer, but lie turned tho offer down, saying that he had quit the game for good. This is to be regretted, as ijmmy is not a "has-been" yet. It seems that he cultivated the horse track craze while here, and nothing is good enough in his eyes now in the fighting line. There are scores of good men and he would still it';ke big money in the ring today, in America and elsewhere, and it seems waste of real good material to let him go out of the game as he Is doing now. Some time ago it was announced that Benny Palmer, the Mexican lightweight, was so badly injured in his first fight in this country that he would be returning by the next boat to his own country. Benny, however, is like a cat, he has several lives and two or three to spare, lie has made a wonderful recovery from , a dislocated and abscessed jaw, and is ' now as good as ever he was. lie came to Sydney and went in for a course of surf bathing and physical culture undr a well-known expert here, and is now boxing better than ever he did in his life, according to his own statement. Women Like Boxing'. The gentler sex are taking unprecedented interest in the boxing tournarnents in Sydney .Melbourne and Brisbane, and quite recently in Melbourne more than 2.000 women put in an ap,pearance at the stadium there to witness the mixed program of boxing and vaudeville. The tournaments at the i Bydney stadium are being wonderfully well patronized by the women, and , crowds of them are present every Wednesday night to see the youngsters decide their heats.

Jim Tracey. the six feet four inches

of fistic, fastness, force and physical fitness, is to meet the winner of the Squires-Sniilh clash. He will probably meet Old Man Conlin Hell before he meets either, however, as Conlin Qualified to meet this lad by beating Los ' VIVuint-11. a few weeks ago. O'Donnell fouled Bell by hitting him after the h- il had sounded for corners. Tracy is the lad who walked 2.0o0 miles from northern Queensland to see Snowy Baker about a tight. Ho is a game lad. is building outward rapidly and Australians think they have a world beater in him. Harry Stone Is Winning-. Harry tone has had three contests of twenty rounds in three weeks in Brisbane. He made a draw of the first with Tommy Ureii. beat Jack Cole a week later, and Australian winning three times on points. He has met I ron live times in all. the Australian winning three times on points, and Stone onee. His victory over Jack Cole was a must popular ono Harry all but knocking his man out. His most recent performance against Holland surprised the boxing world here. Holland beat Joe Chip a few weeks ago, and has also beaten Les Darcy on points twice, as well as Tummy! I'ren, and few of the most hardened fans expected Harry to do this. Pavor George Chip. Australians, generally, are hoping that George Chip will prove to bo Les Parcy's first opponent in America. Chip was obviously at a disadvantage over here, lighting as he did too soon after leaving the ship. IC Darcy gets Chip over there, he will find George a different proposition to the Chip he licked here. The order of things will be reversed, Darcy will be in a strange land, among strange people, and in a strange

climate, and Chip ought to make him !

go out for all he Is worth. The Australian boxing game is the better off for the visit of Jimmy Dime

By H. C. HAMILTON ( United Press "tr.tf Correspondent.) NEW YOKK. . . 27. liig league clubs show littie disposition to make changes when the time come for them to start on the annual spring junket. Seventy per cent of the majors will be back at the old grounds this year unless Dave Fultz breaks things up by making his threatened strike effective. Only one club in the American league will hite itself to a new spot to take off the rough spots. "Washington will stop this year at August. l, Ca., it. stead i f Charlottesville, where things have been done for Clarke Griffith's pennant hopes in the past. The National league clubs this ear show a more lively disposition. The Cubs, for instance, have given up Florida and will go all the way to Pasadena, Cal., to get in the early knocks. In doing this they are dumping over the findings of Charles Comis-

"k.y. who a long time ago decided California wasn't doing a thing good for his ball players, lie went back to Texas. The Iodgers, pennant Winers in the merry-go-round, undoubtedly will be immersed in the Hot Springs of Arkansas for their daily baths. They will do their training stunts on the d:amond left to shiver by itself when the Pirates chucked Arkansas overboard. Tin Dodgers will have for company the champion Red Sox of the American league. Pittsburgh threw over the Ozarks and the rest of the Arkansas scenery in favor of Columbus, Ca.
