NUMBER OF MATCHES.

A number of matches have been ar ranged to take place in the near fu- turc. The contests appear to he i'm portant on paper. and it is hoped that the promoters will try their best to have them decided in honest fashion. Pieniry still contends that his match with Egebcrg was on the square. He adds that he threw Egeberg with Il hammerlock thai he had been trying all night to apply. As to the peculiar betting in the match he adds that he cannot account for if. save that some of the wiseacres wao nose about the dressing rooms might have learned something about the alleged poor con dition of tho Dane and wagercd their money accordingly. The critics think that this pair will have to offer more conclusive evidence before the sports will forgive them. Some day some ncrvy rcforniar may institute court Of inquiry relative 10 that affair and the true facts of the match may he revealed.

severe, and when he has arrived it. will be with the equipment of a splendid ground work gained through hard study and continued application. It was immedi- ately following the automobile show ill New York last winter that Eddie Bald said good-by to his sprinting and pace following cycling friends and went to work in a factory in Hartford. He began his motoring experience at the bottom most rung of auto manufacturing-filin motor castings. Through the successive stages of machining and assembling Bald was sent, until in the spring he came to test cars. The tests there were most exhaustive, and Bald often found himself lost in some mountain fastness and night overtaking him. Through the early flights of gas engine fancy and tire eccentricity Bald learned his practical automobiling and testified to his possess slon or requisite nerve. Before building an enormous powered car for Bald to compete in the fastest company on the track. his employers decided to further test his abilities and daring without the outlay of the small fortune track racers cost. One of the 90 to 35-horse power stock cars was stripped of much of it's weight and the frame hung lower to the ground. A different type of circulating water cooler was employed--the only radical departure. Over Charter Oak Park track. in Hartford, Bald broke the track record on his first attempt by going ln l:OS. He has since got down to 1 :OS over a mile ring counted by horsemen five seconds slow. since both turns were plowed up and grown to grass after the grand circuit races in September. The performances of Bald are considered re- markable for the track conditions and the fact that the car has practically road equipment. with water tank. gears and gear case, long-distance oil reser- voir, etc, as in the saIable mod els. Bald's showing has been so encouraging as to warrant his par ticipation in the most important events. Hiram Percy Maxim. chief en- sineer of the manufacturing company, Is now at work on an eight-cylinder car which Bald is to drive. being designed with the idea of being entered in the Cor don Bennett cup contest abroad.
