General Manager Henry E. Ducker, of
the National Track Team Associa tion
offers to wager that his team can lower
the mile record 10 l:30.
Eddie McDuffee easily maintains his
lead in the percentage table Of the mid

secutive races and lost none.
Manhattan Beach, New York; Willow
Grove. Philadelphia. and Charles River
Park, Cambridge, are the seats of the
cycle racing war this year.
The National Track Association has a
team of pacemakers who have ridden in
nine races winning eight of them, n
record such as has never before been
known in the history of cycle racing.
At the Fall meet of the Springfield

the National Track Team Association,
and the next best man in America.
Tom Linton will give Jimmy Michael
his next race. This event viii be for one

Big Bill TenZler has graduated into
one of the best steersmen in America.
His work in the last three or four races
has attracted universal attention from
the critics. He is probably the heaviest
steersman in America. while Sherer, of
the same team, is the highest.
Dudley Marks says that the pacing
teams of the National Track Team Assc-
citation are the finest that ever rode on a
bicycle track. Tom Linton indorses these
sentiments. and adds that he has ridden
behind the fastest teams of Europe, none
of which are as fast as the Nationals.
The National Track Team Association
has received numerous offers to match
Eddie McDuffee and Tom Linton, both of
the association, for a paced race. Gen

Eddie McDuffee has broken records in

which he has ridden, and he has ridden

Tom Linton's defeat of Edouard Tay
lore at Philadelphia on Tuesday night was
the result of the hardest fought middle
distance race ever conducted in this or
anv other country and the victory places
the Welshman one point more ahead of
all the other middle distance stars, with
the exception of his team mate, McDuffee.
AS this is the second time that Linton
has defeated Taylore, and as each time
records were broken, the victory is a de-
cisive one During the race all records
except the first mile were smashed TO
smithereens. owing to the magnificent work
of the pacemakers of the National Track
Team Association. Both riders were hav
ing il nip and tuck up to twenty-five
miles when the superior training and ad-
vantages given the, team in the way of
organization enabled Linton TO pull away
from his rival and to gain more than
Ian on him at the finish. An accurate idea
of the terrific speed at which the riders
were travelling may be judged from the
fact that although defeated Taylore con-
tinued until he had captured the hour
record by riding over thirty-three miles
in the hour AS Linton was considerably
more than lap in the lead at the end of
the race which was for thirty miles, il
was apparent that he could easily have
placed the record at almost. il not quite,
thirty-four miles. The fact that the race
was run under electric lights adds to the
value of the performance and shows also
the indomitable courage of the pace
makers who would ride at such a speed

For the benefit of a number OF misin-
formed persons the following story of the
sale of Farrell and Meekin to New York
is retold At the time of this sale the
club had just passed through a season of
great financial loss, and the management
was greatly embarrassed for money and
necessary improvements on the grounds
had to be made. For these reasons the
sale of these players was consummated
thus avoiding the necessity of borrowing
funds, and the owners were enabled to
complete the improvements without un-
essary delay. In addition 70 thissum (s7,500)
the Wagner brothers have since expended
about $4,000 in grandstand, and today
the Washington public have as pleasant
and commodious a ball park as there is
in the country, and Charlie Farrell is
doing business at the same old stand
The reference, therefore, to the Meekin-
Farrell deal by contemporary was un-
fortunate, as evidence to show that Mr..
Wagner has been actuated by sordid or
selfish motives. ia
