tier. apparently more than ever the
idol of the sporting public, was given
a hero's reception on his arrival in
Paris. The st. Nazare railroad sta
ton at which the train pulled in,
was crowded with admirers and as
he appeared he was moved by the
reception, and borne against his will
through the side door of the station
and along the Rue Longres.
The crowd had borne him to the
street thrust aside the police lines
and rushed along the thoroughfares,
many doors and windows were crush
ed in by the throng. Police reinforce
ments fought their way to the center
Of the crowd and asked Carpenter
to make his journey home in a taxi
so the crowd would disperse.
Carpenter arrived at Havre last
night and will spend several weeks
in France. He declared Jack Demp-
sey is the best fighter of the pres
ent day and said the title would be
safe in Dempsey's hands for four or
five years..
