Sue COLOSSEUM

The announcement made some time ago
that Bobbie walthour had been secured
to defend the honors Of the Colosseum
was hailed with delight by local lovers
OF the bicycle game
Colonel wendelschaefer has more good
news for the patrons of the Colosseum
In announcing the engagement OF Eli
Winsett as pace maker.
winsett is no stranger TO Providence
people as he was seen at the Colosseum
with walthour several times last season
and became very popular as a pace
maker He is a remarkably steady rider
and is considered by many bicycle cranks
the best pace maker ever seen at the
I Colosseum -track---l
The securing OF two such experts as
walthour and Wnsett is pretty sure
indication that the races to be pulled off
at the Colosseum this season will be OF
a high order.
Walthour will use his belt invention in
stead Of the unreliable chain. The
pacing machines will also be equipped
with Walthour's belts.
walthour has demonstrated beyond all
dispute that the belt Is superior to the
chain. the breaking of which has suddenly
/ ended go many races and been the cause
/ OF so many anu lctn
In this important innovation is now being
/ followed by one after another OF the great
| racers. The use OF the 3if-inch automo-
bile tire on the big machines has been
proved equally advantageous. almost en-
tirely removing the probability OF the
bursting OF the tire, which In the past
has so often contributed TO the unsats
factory ending of otherwise interesting
I contests.
Single machines will be substituted fol
the tandem in making pace. This Is thu
latest development In racing Improvement
