bicycle race entering upon It's final
stages, interest among fans has trebled
or quadrupled and packed house saw
the riders put on the most exciting
sprint Of the race last night.

out ahead of the field half lap and
Grimm, picking him up unexpectedly,
came in behind the leaders before they
were aware of the coup. They were
unable to shake him.
At the beginning Of the l05th hour
today the riders had covered l,Sl2
miles and two laps. The record is
2,0s2 miles and seven laps.

New York, Feb. 16.--Les Darcy to-
day began to be about as unpopular
with the sport loving public in New
York as is possible for man who has
been placed upon a pedestal. Follow
ing his announcement to the United
Press that he did not intend to live up
to contract signed for him by Tim
O'Sullivan, his manager, calling for
bouts in Milwaukee, with Jeff Smith
and Mike Gibbons, Darcy declared
0'Sullivan had been dismissed as his
manager last Tuesday. He apparently
forgot that on his trip up New York
bay frem the Standard Oil tank ship
Cushing he had told several persons
aboard tug, including Tex Richard,
Tom O'Rourke and Charles Harvey,
that 0 Sullivan and no one else would
act in this country as his manager.
Today he declared that .O'Sullivan
never had been his manager, but had
been employed as agent and never had
been authorized to make matches.
Meanwhile Tom Andrews, Frank
Mulkern, John Weismantel and Grant
Hugh Browne are locked in the throes
of desperate struggle over the pros
pect of Darcy fighting this r that
man. Weismantel claims to have
signed Mccoy some time ago to a set
of articles calling for bout with Jack
Dillon and has protested against his
being allowing to meet Darcy until he
has gone through with the Dillon bout
Browne also has filed o protest, claim
ing the fact that he has spent Large
sum on the bout should protect him
He has arranged 10 stage bout be
tween Frank Moran and Carol Morris
should the Darcy and Mccoy affair
| fail.
Mulkern and Andrews are at odds
over the Milwaukee bout. Mulken has
contract calling for bout between
Darcy and Gibbons. Andrews wants
one the same date with Smith as
Darcy opponent, Each declares the

not to allow Marion TO run over Polk.
Judge Bushey told his side of the case

Judge P. II. darcy, Benjamin Brick,

Postmaster Huckestein called the
Polk county judge to account for his
