LES DRRCEY ENJOYS WONDERFUL POPULARITY
BY H. C. HAMILTOJf (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK. Jan. 8. When Les Par.y sailed into New York harbor aboard the big oil tank steamship Crushing he knew his arrival at the Battery was being awaited with great interest in New York. The wireless had told him that. But the Australian marvel was wholly unprepared for the reception with which he was greeted when he started up Broadway to his hotel. The usual crowd of newspaper men and photographers was on hand at the pier when the tug puff.-.l up alongs.de. hut I .a rev didn't tarry there long. He was bundled into a taxicab and taken to his hotel, where a real reception was s,.is,.,i cuesis at the hotel had been w-mie'l in M-Uatice of the t.rrival there ,.r r.aiCN ..n-S L- w" Iv Visitor- crowded into his room to J,, the velvety muscles and deveb.p- ., 1 the man who has beaten nearly t uiih riarvelous ease.

Garden New York's annual six day bicycle race was in progress and the youthful pugilist was taken there for an introduction. When the announcer mounted his ftand and started to tell the audience about jt he started something. His closing words were never heard, for the people had begun to cheer and they kept it up constant!;, while Darcy was in the hall. New Yorkers have wanted a boxer of Darcy's proportions to cheer for a long time and they didn't stint their feelings. The fact that the pugilist had run away from military rerie rooled their ardor until the afternoon newspapers came out with the declaration tint Darcy intended to return to Great Britain and enlist. Anyway, the New York fight public has grown used to Freddi" Welsh, who isn't worrying any about the fate of his country, and they were quick to forget that Darcy had slipped away from recruiting officers. If Darcy wins his first fight in the I'nited States he will be the most popular man in the fistic world. He will be ready to start the process of getting just as rich as he can as quick as hcan. J
Hockey game in progress on the big outdoor rink at Quebec and the new auto-sled. Through Canada and the northern states, winter sports are getting all the attention now and the present reason sees the introduction of the auto-sled, a new ice craft, that is able to make a mile a minute. Its inventors declare that it is the fastest thing on ice and that with a little experience it can be handled by most anyone Its speed is so great that a tumble, however, would be dangerous. In spite of the appearance of new ideas, the popularity of hockey is greater than ever before and almost all lovers of winter sport either have part or look on and applaud.
