WHAT RIDERS GET.
81, 900 Goes to the winning Team
at the Garden

/ New York. Dec. I3-Riding in a six-day
bicycle race is an undertaking somewhat
more profitable than a glance at the size
/ of the purses would indicate
The prizes offered are $500 to the win
ner, $1,000 for second, $50 for third. From
then on the prizes run Gown as low as
500 TO the fifth man.
For a siX-day grind like that fat!guing
roll around the garden 1850 does not seem
very large for a winning rider. but when
/ it is taken into consideration that none
OF these riders can lose anything. it puts
a new light on the financial side of the
contest.
Every rider who finishes in the six-day
race is paid some sum by the manage
ment. No one is allowed to lose a week s
work like that for nothing.
In addition to this, the promoters of the
siX-day race pay the entire travelling and
training expenses Of every team that is
entered.
Some Of these riders come from as far
as Amsterdam, Holland Others come
from France, Italy, Sweden. and Scotland.
It viii thus be seen that the expense of
getting the riders here Is enormous in IL
self After they arrive they are given
/ training quarters, and all the expenses in
connection with these quarters. including
meals, are paid by the promoters.
In addition to prizes, some Of the riders
are paid bonuses, and. taking 1t all in all.
it IS a very profitable week for them The
riders enter the race knowing that they
have no chance to lose financially. and at
the same time go ia to win and get the
big share Of the purse
Those who quit are paid nothing but
their travelling expenses to New York

Georgetown, was the wonder Of the col

Owing to the increased interests in row.

National Regatta will be held, either at

In the opening round Goodman sent
Sullivan TO the ropes for the count Of
nine. In the second round Sullivan even
ed up matters some by sending the Bos-

jaw. Goodman was UP in a jiffy. how
ever. and fought back till the gong ended
the round. Sullivan had slightly the bet
ter of the third. From this up 10 the tenth
hOnors were even.
The tenth was corker. both men Civ
ing and receiving great punishment. The
eleventh was slightly Goodmans. IN the
twelfth Sullivan went after Goodman and
sent him 10 his corner bleeding profusely
from a lip that was torn almost to
shreds. The thirteenth saw the Bean
eater" stil there. with jabs that wor-
ried the Senator not a little. The four
teenth they felt each other out for the
final effort
In the fifteenth Goodman seemed to
awaken from his slumbers. and went aft
er Sullivan with both hands. He pun
meled him around, and placed a terrific
right TO the body that doubled Sullivan
up and caused him great pain, as his
face took on a distorted look. Goodman
followed this NJ with a right to the jaw
and Sullivan clinched. Sullivan was evi-

ASKS IF HEARST IS REGULAR
McCarren Gives Democratic State
Committee a Problem to Solve.
Brooklyn Leaders Loyalty Cues
toned, and He Counters by Ask
ing How Others Voted.

New York, Dec Ex-senator Patrick F.
McCarren has not yet made up his mind
whether or not he viii fight. so far as
action by the Democratic State commit
tee is concerned, the plan engineered by
Chairman Connors and Charles f. Muir
ply to expel him from the committee
after putting him on trial for political
treason.
The trial was 20 begin to-day, but
Senator McCarren obtained an adjourn
ment until January g. and even when
this application was granted he and his
counsel intimated that they were not
prepared to admit that the committee had
jurisdiction, and It was by no means
certain that the senator would take part
in the trial when it is resumed next
month.
But if Senator McCaTTen does resolve
to defend himself before the committee,
it is his intention TO make things exceed
ingly interesting for all concerned. It
is the purpose Of his counsel for one
thing to cali William r. Hearst the de-
feated Democratic candidate for COVER
nor, and Max r. Ihnlsen, Mr. Hearsts 5
political manager
1t was learned after to-day's adjourn
ment that the reason for calling Mr..
Hearst and AIr. Ihmsen is to question
them as to how they voted at the cleo
ton. Mr. Hearst was the candidate for
governor on both the Democratic and IN
dependence League tickets. and during the
campaign there was much curiosity
shown as to which ticket he and his man
ager would vote.
Neither Mr.. Hearst nor Mr.. lhmsen
either before the election or after could
ever be induced to say in which column
their vote would appear. Senator McCaF-
rem wants to know, however.
He is accused of knitting Hearst, and ne
wants 10 find out il Hearst himself Voteo
the Democratic ticket or il he ignored ths
Democratic column for Leagues column
sf the senator and his friends get NJ.
HearSs and put such a question TO NM
Mr.. Hearst would be placed in an eX-
tremely invidious position.

for Baseball Club.

Aor Baseball CluO.
Chapel Hin, n. c., Dec. I3-The uni

strong baseball team next spring nre
very satisfactory The older fans on the
hill, judging from the two weeks prac-
tice while the weather permitted, state
that the material is on hand for the best
lineup for the past three seasons.
The team, 1t appears, will be rich in
pitchers. There are already four candi-
dates. all Of whom are strong enough
to make the rivalry keen. Trevillian. who

seasons ago. will. il is generally thought
lead the staff But Morrow, young fell
low from Gastonia who hasn't had much
experience, is developing a great arm.
Racy and Hamilton are the other two
aspirants.
Rowlands, new man. may give Raney
and Rogers. Of last years catchers. some
trouble for their positions. Capt. Stem
of last years team. is back TO hold down
first base. Bull" Thompson. the new
captaini Montgomery, and James will
probably play the other infeld positions
Story and Whitaker win play center and
left field, respectively. Right field is in
some doubt. Orr and Haynes are candi-
dates. and there may be others.
Coach Simmons is highly pleased with
the outlook. He is confident that there
will be some keen disappointments when
