AMATEUR EVENTS POPULA

Bobby Walthour rode around Bonnie Monroe last night in the hfteen-mlle motor-paeed event at the Stadium. While his victory was not as great as over De Guichard and Lawson, still 1t was none the less sure. and the holder of the one hour record had no chance to catch the champion.
 There were two five-mlle heats. Wal thour winning both of them, and the ex- cltement was strong throughout. The good time of 6:54 for the first heat and 7of for the second heat was made.
 The amateur events brought forth the best time of the three nights, the second heat being ridden in 2;O9. This is un- paced, and is quite a low record under the conditions. Holloway won the third heat and the race. after having ridden first in the second heat. In the last heat Elliott. Hickman and Hightower, the three scratch riders. were unable to catch Holloway. who got off so well at the pis- tol crack and stayed well to the last lap. when he sprinted and passed all those who had better handicap than he.
 In the first heat of the fifteen miles Walthour passed Monroe at the end of the first mile, again at the fourth lap of the third mile, and again at the end of the fourth mile He won by three laps. In the second heat he passed at the end of the first mile, and at the end of the third mile. He won by two laps The one mile handicap for boys under 16 years proved one of the most interest," ing races of the evening. Many people prefer these to the motor races, and the youngsters always fight hard to win. The results were:
 Three mile handicap for ameturs: First heat, Elliott, Atlanta first; Hickman, Bir- mingham. second; William Riddle, Blr- mingham. third. Time, 2;11.

 Russell Walthour followed a motor for two miles in the good time of 3:O6 an av- craze of :33 per mile. He is a brother of Bobby, and Is somewhat of rider him- self.
 Jack Prince announced that next week Billy Moran and Walthour will meet twice. On one night there will be twen- ty-mile motor-paced race, and the fol- lowing night a 25-mlle motor-paced event. Moran Is the only man In this country who has not lost race this year, and Walthour has not lost but one race this year. so 1t should prove very close and exciting.
 2 The second night next week will be the last Walthour will ride in this country, as he leaves immediately afterwards for France, where he has an excellent con- tract for several months racing. Boston has been begging for this final race to de- eide the American championship, but Jack Prince was able to control the situation, and brings the race to Birmingham.
