The injury to Teddy Ellington. the
speedy N. Y. A. G. tyclist, who was
pushing the champion, MARCUS Hurley,
for first honors for the amateur cycling
championship at Vailsburgh Sunday,
will not lessen the interest in the anna
teur events to be held at the Manhattan
Beach cvycle track next Saturday. when
the Kennedy Powers Company will hold
its second meet Glasson, Goerke, Chap
pey, Bolswetter, Mike Coffey, J. E.
Achorn and all the rest of the star anna
teurs will be on handicap marks, and
Champion Hurley will have his work cut
out to get over the line first. Hurley s
riding on Sunday. when he established
a new worlds amateur record for five
miles, was most sensational. as he had
to ride all around his field to get clear
sailing.
So many entries have been received
for the amateur events that it will neces-
state running at least half dozen heats
in each race before the final heats can
be decided. Floyd MaeFarland's frac-
tured collar bone has mended sufficiently
to permit him starting in the twenty y-mile
motor-paced race against Albert Cham
pion and Basil de Goichard of France,
and Will Stinson, of Boston. and as Mac
will have rood full weel in which to
work out, he will face the starter fit to
push his competitors at record-break-
ing pace
