CHAMPION RIDES WELL.

IL s the unexpected that some times
happens. and so last night to the sur
prise OF about every one Albert Cham
pion. the Frenchman, won the three-cor-
nered motor bicycle race at Charles River
Park. Boston, defeating Jimmy Moran
by l2O yards. after very close race. and
Bobby Wslthour by almost two laps.
1t was thought that the race would be
between Moran and walthour. and the
"Gaur' was not counted on. But his rid
ing was uniform and good, and though
at one time he was quite few yards
back. yet he regained this distance.
Moran and walthour fought to kill each
other OF i'm the first stages, and Cham
pion very cunningly held off from their
dispute. When IL looked as IL Moran had
put the quietus on Walthour. Champion
showed his generalship by going up and
trailing the milkman for several laps.
Then he caught Moran mapping and went
by with a rush and sent the pacing ma
chimes along and put Sir James I'm the
rear.
Walthour rode very poorly after Cham
pion had passed him The attendance
was good. and when Moran appeared he
was enthusiastically cheered When

IL now patrolling the beat formerly travel

particular star of the game and his bril-
liant efforts i'm the field were only equalled
by his opportune pummelling OF the
sphere and his speed on the sacks. The
festive Pete drove In three of the five
runs, pilfered two bases and gobbled ten
wicked chances without the semblance or
an error.
Sutor Sullivan and Ed Henry were also
on guard and challenged every ball that
ventured into their territory. Crisham
on first was brimful OF ginger, in fact the
entire infield was on the alert throughout
and IL was well that this was the case as
the Pan-Ams were also in the running
and were so hungry for victory that
they made an almost superhuman effort

The contest was very much Buffalo up

Gals out with three hits. and aided by fast
work by the entire team, Providence's ef-

tailed the winning run. Sullivan was
next and made II an overtime game by
popping up a fly TO Halligan.
After Buffalo had recorded two runs

error and a two free transfer. they regis
tered long row OF ciphers until the sixth

and they failed TO reach second In the
