tie Englishman: Gus Lawson, the Terrible
Swede," and little Johnny Lake. Three lit
tie midgets, all very nearly the same in
size, and each possessed of limitless lowers
of endurance, and all three able TO reel off
the miles in winning form.
To add to the feature of the race 1t will be
run off in three heats of five miles each.
This makes it practically a sprint race, in
which the fastest man is sure to win unless
his motor goes wrong, and if it does the
audience may be prepared to see some great
exhibitions of swapping and shifting pace
when motorleSS rider swings from behind
his own disabled machine up to that of his
neighbor and then goes out for sprint at
the finish for the points. Three heats will
be run in this race, and the winner will be
determined by the number of points scored
Points will be counted three for first man
in each heat two for second and one for
third. The rider scoring the highest total
of points gets the long end of the purse.
Besides these motor races for the night
of Memorial day and next Wednesday
night, the management will also put on
other races for the novices and amateurs
An effort will be made to secure a motor
race for "Wednesday night, but owing to its
difficulties nothing can be promised at this
remote date

Mr.. Somers arrived in Philadelphia yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock. He was in

two hours.
After the prolonged session Mr.. Somers
said Il have offered more money for La

New York Wants Larry.

No figures were mentioned by Mr.. Som
ers, but it has recently been learned that
the New York club offered the big second
baseman S21 900 to sign a three-year con-
tract.
The contract offered by Cleveland's rep
resentative called for four years services.
Mr.. Somers had certified check with him
for the full amount offered, and he held it
close under Lajoies eyes with one. hand
while he offered a pen with the other.
Lajoie would accept neither pen nor
check.
Il will think it over said the player.
Another Conference
All this occurred early in the day At
night there was another session. The de-
tails of the last meeting not known, but
the result is that Lajoie and Somers are
likely to come to terms.
Several little obstacles that stand In the
way of an agreement will In all probability
be removed. 1t appears that Lajoie and
Bernhard have a compact to stick together
"One go, both co." is their agreement
Somers is willing to take both.
"A little more money, or a little less
time under contract" is another demand of
the latent Larry.
Somers will pay more money, but will in
sist on the four-year contract.
Both Parties Willing.
To sum it all up in few words, the stu
alton is:
Somers is bound to have Lajoie at any
price. but does not care to pay more than
is necessary 0he necessary pay being out
landish at besD.
Lajoie wants to go with somers, but will
try and get the best figure possible
When both parties to an agreement are
willing, the agreement is usually reached.
