game with Oregon. His physician has advised him against any strenuous exercise
until the trouble responds to treatment, and he makes no promises vvnen this will
occur. In other words, there Is a likelihood of Howaid Hero's wonderful athletic
career being shortened by the excursion to the l'aclllc coast, for tlieie Is nothing
more disastrous to an athlete than a back injury. Tho entire college and athletic
world Is pulling for Howard to hae a quick recoery nnd every one hopes that

Alburtus, the Champ, Gets the Worst of Contracts
, TT LOOKS as If Al McCoy will be left out in the cold, ctuel world next Monday
Anight, with nothing to cheer him tip but n contiuct railing for 110,000 and a
broken promise to fight I.es Darcy. Developments of the last twent four hours
have put Alburtus on the blink and shoved hltn among tho other discarded athletes
Who attempted to clinch with high finance. McCoj's contract now is only a mere
scrap of paper and Urnest Curler Price, known as .lurk Dillon, has stepped In and
grabbed off tho kale. Just why Jack bus been selected to oppose Darcv Instead of
McCoy is not known. He Is not mucJr-of a drawing card nnd, moro than that, he is
on the downgrade. He is slipping no much that he could not even shake McCoy
when ho hit the champ on tho chin and his performance could not be called high
class. That means that Dillon, the slipper, will meet Darcy, the slacker, In a ten
round bout where big leaguo prices will prevail. The New York boxing public Is
Wise. WJiat'a tho answer7 Clrant Hugh Hrowno will lose a big wad of chango
and his deslro to stago big fights In the future will not he so keen.
Then there is another angle to be considered What constitutes' a contract In
New York? McCoy is matched to meet Darcy, the articles signed and all arrange
ments made, but before the bout takes place, n rival promoter steps In and savs
he has the erbal contract of Dillon and McCoy to appear at his club at an earlier
date. The Boxing Commission went Into session and lipid that tho verbal stuff was
legal nnd ordered the bout to be held as per schedule. In the meantime, Browne
figured that Dillon was a better drawing card than McCoy, so he abrogated his con-
Jtact with Alburtus and signed up Dillon. Now, if verbal agreements go In New
f York, how about tho written ones? McCoy has a good case and can collect $10,000
whether he tights or not. He holds the papers, but he can get no sympathy or
action from the commission. Deputy Attorney General Obermeler. of New York,
has ruled that Ho long as Browne was acting in good faith, he should be allowed
to put on tho Darcy-Dlllon bout and'the Hoxlng Commission should not Interfere.
It doesn't seem right for McCoy, but as It Is the usual procedure in the Hlg City,
Is It any wonder that the boxing game la In bad repute'

REGARDLESS of the gloomy outlook, Hrowne flrmlj believes that a huge

Vernon, his representative here, tho advance sale has been quite largo, and nt least
1100,000 Is expected to pour Into the box ofllce. The seats range from $2 to $25
and he Is sure that all will be disposed of.
"I realize that Darcy is not so much of a drawing card as he was two months
ago," he said, "but one cannot blame Darcy for that. He Is one of the most sincere
