New Track for six-Day Riders is We'll
Constructed.


 Nearly a hundred carpenters were busily at work yesterday completing the track on which the annual long grind of s142 hours is to be performed this year by the hardest of the bicycle racers. At o'clock yesterday after noon only q few strips remained to be nailed, and the planers were at work. To-day the racing men will be able to practice on what is one of the most up to date and expensive tracks ever laid in Madison Square garden. It is an entirely new track and is not in any part q sectional structure composed of pieces formerly used. It has been built of the narrow strips used in lay ing bowling alleys, and the care taken in it's construction has been similarly precise. It is not banked as much as the track used for sprint races last summer, but is a trifie sleeper than the siX-day track of last year and it's turns are better. It is banked about 34 de- grees, is wider and more compact. Not a nail has been driven through the sur face, all the fastening being done by mailing the strips sidewise as in the case of bowling alleys. The strips etIe SCNeL-clSillilS OI slIl IlcQ III WluIn.

mat Fourteen minutes had expired when the second fall went to Dwyer and the match was over. It was one of the cleverest exhibitions seen, i'll this state in many years.
 Between the falls Professor Atlas was introduced and he challenged Dwyer to throw him three times ill one hour at Graeco-Roman style of wrest- ling. Professor Dwyer hurled back q challenge at Atlas that he would back his wrestling partner, Gid Per rie against him at mixed style of wrestling for any part of $1 ,000. Atlas said he would accept that match if Dwyer would accept the other offer. Dwyer informed him he was not a wrestler of that style. that he was q catch as catch can wrestler. If Atlas wanted a match badly Perrie would wrestle him at mixed style. at ,any time. This match will probably be made, for Atlas has deposited $25 for felt and Dwyer says he will cover it at once.
 A challenge was also read from Mark Cristall. the Greek. who wanted to wrestle the winner of the big match. No attention was paid to this chal- lenge.

In the list are included Selbach and Davis of New York, and Keeler, Kelly and Tom Daily of the Brooklyns. The players claimed by the rival clubs are: Phila- delphia.

 Both men struggled desperately to win the deciding bout and it was q lively exhibition while it lasted. Cahors seemed to tire more quickly than Peining. for in five minutes the Butcher Boy" found the Frenchman so exhausted that lie pinned him to the mat with little difficulty

T lost three weeks waiting for Sharkey, although it may have been the fault of the clubs. Now, I don't know what my plans may be and must hear from De laney, who is in San Francisco, before saying what I will do. As a matter of fact, 1 don't know what arrangements have been made up there.
