SIX TEAMS TIED IN
 LAST HOURS OF SIX DAY CYCLE EVENT

New York, Dec. 23-What was easily the most spectacular and most eventful day of the cycle race in Madison Square Garden wound up at midnight with six teams tied for the lead. More than twice as many laps were lost and regained during the 24 hours than in all UT the first four days combined. Sprints were twice as nNnerous as ever and so were the spills. Despite it all, however, the riders continued to fall far, be- hind ther ecord and were nearly 120 miles from the mark set in 1914 when they entered upon the last day of the gruelling grind.
 Periods of the most listless riding ina aginable in the early morning hours were punctuated by furious sprints that caught some of the sleepy cyclists off their guard. Shortly after the retirement of the Goullet and Brenda team, owing to the in- jury to Brenda, the largest sustained sprint of the week terminated after E. Ohrt and Tom Bello and Kopsky and Smith had been Tapped twice, and Ryan and Eaton and Thomas and H. Ohrt, once each. In addition the judges penalized Lawson and Mitten a lap for riding off the track during the sprint.
 New York. Dec. 23-Six teams had covered 2,301 miles and five laps in the six day bicycle race at a. m. today. the 127th hour, with three teams one lap behind and two teams two laps. The record for the 127th 1% and Brenda in 114. It was officially announced that the race would end between 10 and II o'clock tonight. The teams tied for first were Spears McNannara. Egg-Dupuy, Hill-Dro- bach, Root Madden, Kaiser Cameron Characterization.

LES DARCY ARRIVES AND
 IS GREETED BY TEX RICHARD
Promoter Hopes to Sign Up Australian But
 Kearns Claims to Be Manager

New York, Dec. 23.-Les Darcy is here. He arrived early today. Just now he is in quarantine. Tex Rickard will extend a personal welcome to the Australian boxer. The welcome will come from the bottom of a promoters heart Darcy arrived upon the oil tank steamer Cushing. He shipped as a fireman, and because of this it iS believed that he will have little diff. culty with the government officials. The Gushing left Chile three weeks ago. It made two stops. One was at Peru, the other was for cealing pur- poses on the Mexican coast. Y,
 Darcy's status as a foreigner may and probably will-be changed some, time today. He sailed from Australia over two months ago on the Hattie Luckenbach. He landed at ChileI Passage on the Cushing, Captain Hur-, alnd, commanding, was then arranged and it is understood that, Darcy worked his way as a fireman. But to placate possible objections by govern ment officials, it is said, he resigned, his position en route and became a passenger.
 This was done to obviate the possi- bility of delay and detention in quar- antine. and in furtherance of this idea Darcy will be taken to Ellis Island today and there-perhaps-be permit ted to land as a passenger and not as a member of an alien crew. Follow, ing his discharge-if he is discharged the Australian boxer will be taken to the Hotel Broztell, where he will live while in this city as Rickard's s personal guest.
 Over two months ago Darcy left Australia, his native land Australia is British dominion, and Britain is at war. Darcy left without a pass port, and Tex Rickard stated last night that the Australian boxer does

 When it was seen that their man was doomed to defeat the packers of Smith rushed the ring, and Slavin was struck several times with club. The referee called it a draw, fourteen rounds having been fought, but eventually, after a scandal that gave prizefghting it's knockout in England, Slavin was awarded the title and the coin. He defended his honors against Peter Jackson the great negro boxer, in a $1O,000 bout before the National Sporting Club in London in 1892, and was knocked out. Slavin is now Canadian soldier.

Chicago, Dec. 2s-A1though the meeting of the American league mag mates held here recently is now a thing of the past, the local fans are still commenting on the businesslike manner in which the junior baseball organization handled their affairs. All the big and small matters were passed upon and their troubles were thrash ed out in masterly style without any noise. Ban Johnson has wonder fully organized league, say the ex- perts. One of the most interesting scenes at the recent conclave was the hobnobbing of Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, and Charley Comiskey, owner of the Chi cago White Sox. The pair were con- stantly together during the entire ses- sion-in fact, before and after. Ex-

New York, Dec. 23.-Followers of golf throughout the United States and Canada will be glad to learn that the reported death of James Braid. the fa- nous Scotch professional, was based upon a case of mistaken identity and that Braid is very much alive and 1c oking forward to the time when con- dition bsaroad will permit him to vis- i: this country and play a series of ex- hibition matches. e
 Early in the month short dispatch from London announced that James Braid, the famous golfer, had been killed while boarding moving train in the Waterloo station. 1t further stated that Braid had been thrown backwards from the train and had died on the way to, the hospital. appa- rently from a fractured skull. The report was given wide publicity and it was not until recently that it was learned that the man killed was not the Open Champion of 190t-5-6-S-
 The James Braid who was killed in the manner described was a pro- fessicnal golfer employed by the South Sea Club and so far as known no rel attve to the James Braid who with Ray, Vardon, J. II. Taylor and one or two other players, stand out as the most famous opponents of tie ancient and honorable game.
 The first day Of the new year will be featured in sport by an intersection- al football game to be played at Pas adena, Cal, in which the elevens of the University of Oregon and the IJni- vers:ty of Pennsylvania will be oppon e.lts. The contest will involve a trav- cling mileage of close to ten thousand miles and this will probably establish a record for single football game. Late in the season of 1915 Syracuse University team made a trip to the Pacific Coast, winning from the Ore gon Aggies 2S to 0 and Occidental College 35 to 0. Last New Years Day (1916) Brown played Washington state at Pasadena and was defeated 14 to O..
 The game between Pennsylvania and Oregon is likely 10 be more evenly contested as the Eastern and Far Western university elevens appear to be equally matched so far a can be Judged from their respective records, weights, and methods of offense and defense. Several of the players on each team stansl out in their respec- tive sections as gridiron stars, of high calibre. If the contest is fought out

Andrew Saymes Chlariglione will be years old tomorrow, hay ing been born in Brooklyn, on Dec 24, 1879. The said Andrew is better known as Jim Flynn, the Pueblo Fire man. His real name is Andrew Haynes, but when he went to Pueblo as kid he was known as Cliariglione, which was the moniker of his step- father. It was nearly sixteen years ago that he became a professional fighter and adopted the nom de ring of Jim Flynn.

perts were sure some big deal was going to be pulled off, but they were fooled. Both Commy and Connie said they talked over old times and nothing else. Conliskey and Mack are two of the oldest American league standbys and have had much to do with the leagues success. The former has probably spent more money than any other magnate in Ban Johnson's cir cuit Incidentally it might be men1 toned he is the most popular mogul in the junior baseball organization. Mack has probably developed more good baseball talent than any other manager in the American league. Pic- ture shows thel two veterans shaking hands during the recent meeting. One on left is Connie Mack, and on right Charles Comiskey.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

It was twenty-seven years ago to- day that Jem Smith, the last of Eng fish heavyweights to hold the title under London prize ring rules, de- tended his honors against Sydney Cornstalk, an Australian, known to the ring as Frank or Paddy" Slavin. The fight was pulled off at Bruges, a city in southwestern Belgium, and it was with bare knuckles, for $2,500 a side and the British championship. The big Australian had all the best of the argument, for Smith. althoHGh a

Hitting The High Spots
PIRATES LOST CRAvATH.

They can't put the lid on Barney Dreyfuss. The Pittsburgh baseball magnate was given the gate when he tried to have Garry Hermann busted as head of the National Commission but that didn't silence him. He went back to Pittsburgh and there among the home folks he fired a broadside at National league business methods. He claimed the National league of ficiaIs die not stand up for their rights.
 In addition to losing Sisler, the St. Louis wonder, Dreyfuss also says he lost that noble old slugger, Wooden dealing. In 1911 Cravath was with the fences in the American associa- tion. Pittsburgh offered }$7,500 for him but Minneapolis didn't want to sell.
 When it came time for the drafting season a number of clubs put in claims for Cravath and Pittsburgh won. Then Horace Fogel,a who at that time owned the Phillies, bound ed into the ring with a statement that he had previously closed a deal for the purchase of Cravath. As Minneapolis would get more for a purchased player than one drafted, the minor leaguers naturally wanted to send him to the Phillies. The case was taken to the National Com mission and Cravath waa awarded to the Phillies.
