 COMING BICYCLE RACE.
Teams That Will Contest in the Six
 Day Race

Day Race. - Twenty teams of bicycle riders are. ready for the word which will send them away on the long journey which they will make in Madison Square Garden next week. Never before were contestants matched more evenly than those who will compete in the siX-day race which will be started next Mon day morning at five minutes after mid night. At the end of their journey they will divide the prize money. which amounts to S10.000. Of the twenty teams entered it is unlikely that the management will permit more than if teen to start. The pace probably will be fast and with a large field accidents might occur. The race will be on the same style as that of last year. Each member of q team will race twelve hours out of every twenty-four. and the different teams may arrange their relays to suit themselves.
 As the American teams will meet the crack pedale1s from across the At lantic the rivalry will be keen. In the opinion of those well versed in things cycling the four pairs of foreigners now training at Ambrose park are the best long-distance riders that ever in- vaded this country in quest of Ameri- can ducatS. GOugoltZ, who is paired with Simar. has been here before, and showed great form. Fischer and Fred erick have shown endurance ill long distance contests here in former years, while Karl Kaser was in this country for brief period several years ago. But the other riders have not been seen on this side before. On foreign tracks they have made records which indicate that they will be in the front rank when the tussle is over.
 John West. who developed Charlie Miller the siX-day champion of the world, is training the foreign squad and will have the men in good condi- tion when they line up for the start of the race. Conservative though he is. and not prone to boast. West de clared that out of his bunch will come the winner of the event.
 The Europeans will meet the best collection of American riders that ever entered q long distance event. Char lie Miller. the long-distance champion. is at a disadvantage perhaps because his ability to do without sleep will not be factor in the contest, but he will have the assistance of q partner who is q great Sprinter in Bobby WalthOur. Then ill Harry Ellles and Floyd Me Farland will be found the champion middle distance riders of the country. Both men are training in Baltimore for the race, and already are in superb con- dition. Another good team that may upset calculations is Frank Waller and w C. Stnson. Waller is q hero of ong-diStance contests and q veteran who has lots of pluck. StinSon has the distinction of going moro than for ty miles in an hour, the first man in the world to perform that feat. Du- BoiS and I<rehS are a pair of young Babcock and Aronson and the Lawson brothers are no strangers to the fierce pace of a siX-day team contest.
 On Saturday night the indoor cycle season in Madison Square Garden will be opened with d fifteen-lnile paced race between Jimmy Michael and w C. StinSOn. heat race between Tom Cooper and Major Taylor. the Ameri- can champion: two short distance events for amateurs. motor tandem races and other events. Every after noon and evening during the SiX-day race Michael will ride against time, be, sides which a number of special events will be arranged.
