RACIXE. WIS.. July 24. If Joe Bur-

man, highly touted Chicago bantam weight, thought he was picking any

thing eoft when he- tackled Georgle

Thompson of California In the windup of John Wagner's show at Lakeside arena last night he certainly made one punk guess. Burman - won. , but the shade was a mighty thin one, for the kid from California showed a few wrinkles Burman couldn't solve. Thompson never missed with a left hook for the face, and as a result Joe left the ring with a bump under his right optic. Burman gained his margin In the last Cve rounds, when he repeatedly jabbed Georgle with a solid left to the nose and a right wallop to the body. If the bout had" been limited to five round Thompson would have won. Showing a freakish attack, he outpointed the champion. Thompson Claims Foul. In the fifth Thompson claimed he had been fouled by a low right. The bout was hotter for a brief period, and Georgie. apparently unhurt, continued the battle. Thompson may or may not have been hit low. At any rate he didn't go as fast the last five rounds as In the first five, and Burman, opening up a notch, made up his lost ground for a slight shade victory.

ST. JOSEPH BEATS DYER (Special to Thb Times.) DYEB. IND.. July 24. In the ball game Sunday afternoon between St. Joseph's team and the D. H. S. team the home boys met their Waterloo. The visitors were huskier, and averaged more In Fize and aje. The score was 17 to 4 in favor of Hammond. The hoodoo seems to have been spread over the D. H. S. boys from the very start when some rather questionable decisions were given by the visiting umpire, In fact his decisions all along were so unfair that the Hammond manager called1

same route Georges Carpentier will take

when the French champion comes to this country. Coulon will start In New

York about November 15 and expects to be on the move for six or eight months. He expects to add two other boxers to

his company and plans to visit the varl Ous training camps, where he will en tertain the soldiers.

The Peerless A. C won another twin

bill Sunday when they claimed a forfeit from the Hammond Federals' for not showing up and when they defeated the fast Tiger Juniors of East Chicago by the tune of 13-4. This double-header makes the third the Peerless have played and won this season. The game with the Tigers was a pitcher's battle until the eighth when the Peerless literally killed the ball for nine runs. R. George, the Peerless southpaw, was almost Invincible. He allowed but four hits and struck out fourteen. "Shorty" Long, the Peerless' new shortstop played a stellar game. With three men on base he tripled. This hit was the beginning of the rally which cost the Tigers the game. The Peerless A. C would like to give the Tigers credit for their sportsmanship. At no time during the game did they "crab" something very unusual to the Peerless. F. Simon, the Tiger shortstop was the feature of the game. This promising youth was credited with seven assists and two put-outs. The Peerless A. C. would like to hear from all fast uniformed teams In Lake county averaging sixteen. Will travel.

HE PASSED AWAY

By H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK. July 24. Before he died Les Darcy. the Australian pugilist, realized with all his heart every mistake he had made and longed for one more chance to do the proper thing in Australia. The Sydney Argus, representing one of the best sports circulation in the island continent, declared recently that Snowy Baker, the Australian promoter, had received a letter fnom Darcy asking that steps be taken to make it comfortable for him If he should return. Darcy wanted to go back and enlist in the Australian army. This was after things had been going so badly for Darcy in this country. His refusal to meet the best rniddleweights of this nation, his

After many combats and the smoke had cleared away the Knights had the long end or the score. continual demands for huge purses having held him down at a time when he might have been blazing a path to new glory, had stopped him short. Feeling gri&ved over the unexpected turn in the reception given him, Darcy determined to go home. Cat out of the minds of fight-lovers In the United States, he then discovered, that Australia had no place for the man who fled just two days before a vote was taken on conscription of all Its men. News of his turning against Tim Sullivan, also reached Australia, and, although Sullivan was In the same boat with Darcy, it helped him lose some of the frleads who had Htuck persistently by him.

Baker's failure to answer at once, or

the usual delay in post service between Australia and this country probably disheartened Darcy, for he shortly afterward enlisted In the United States avia--tic-n corps, another blow to his supporters in Australia. Commenting on n.rfv' death the Argus failed to lose
