A COMPARISON.
Lee Darcy and Jaok Dillon. Jack Dunlea^, writing to Sydney from Philadelphia, Pa,, November 4, says, he was to box Eddie Moy at his home town, Allentown, Pa. Jack had a letter from Tom Andrews, of Milwaukee, and may box for him m the early part of 1917. "Darcy's stock was raised considerably by putting tbe k.o, on George Chip," says Jack. "I saw Gunboat Smith and Jim Coffey flght. Darcy would beat both of them, irrespective of weight and height. I also saw Jack Dillon box the other night. He weighed 1641 b (11.10), and is half an inch taller than Darcy, and they call him the Giant Killer. The paperif claim that he has never been knocked off his feet. He is built on the same stocky lines as Darcy, uses the short right over the heart and then up to the head m ffreat style. The middle and light- heavies Hide-step him, so occasionally he lets some second-rater go tbe limit with him and may come along next week and knock them m a round, as he did Tom Cowler and Sailor Grande. Well, I have seen both men box, and I pick Darcy to beat him.
