TAYLOR DEBARRED.
Outlaws Act on His Case
Other News of the Riders,

From present indications, the an
nual six-day grind, at Madison Square
Garden-the promoters of the affair,
by a streak Of Imagination, call it a
six-day cycle race-will take place
without serious opposition on the part
Of civic or state authorities, or of the
League of American Wheelmen, which,
by the way, may be heard from later.
The American Cycle Racing Associa-
ton. whose origin dates back to the
slx-day cycle contest in '96, which was
won by Teddy Hall, and netted SO big
profits has succeeded in carrying its
point What kind of a contest it will
be. can only be guessed at. 1t may be
that the promoters, Pat Powers, Jim
Kennedy and the rest of the gentry
strongly impressed with the narrow es-
cape they had a year ago, will endeavor
to keep the exhibition within the
bounds OF decency. In other words
they may endeavor to eliminate the
disgraceful features by making it ap-
pear as q respectable contest, so as TO
get the public TO lose sight of the in
human spectacles that characterized
last years race.
There really seems TO be but very lit
tie good material in the race. To be
sure, 80 entries have been received for
the race, but an effort is being made
10 reduce the number. the idea being
to have only seasoned campaigners,
riders who have proven their ability
at long distance work. The uneXpect-
ed may happen, and good contest
embodying decenCy, may result, but on
paper it is extremely doubtful. Hale,
winner Of the contest two years ago,
and c. w. Miller, champion long dis
lance rider Of the world as he is by
virtue Of having won last year, are the
best two men in the race. That these
two men viii do the best work, is by
no means certain, for history may re
peat itself in the case of Miller. Hale
mined, persistent rider he was in the
Year previous. This proves in a
measure the assertion recently made
by Maj. Taylo1-and he has been in one
of the grinds himself-that a six-day
race is a killing affair Taylor is the
only man Of ali those who have ridden
in Madison Square siX-day event,
who has proved other than practically
useless afterwards.
The field against the two men named.
with the exception Of Harry Fixes.
lacks in prominent riders. Fixes and
Lawson, with Hale and Miller. are best
drilled in the grind and should divida
the high four moneys. There is Theo-
dore Joyeux. the French fynpOrtation.
