WALTA0UR WON, SAY SIX
DAY RIDERS; RULE CHEATED

a sequel TO the six-day bicycle race i'm
Madison square garden developed the fact
yesterday that all the riders who took
part i'm the long contest are Of the opin-
ion that Bobby Walthour rightfully won.
They arc unanimous In the belief that
no was entitled TO the lap he made late
on Saturday afternoon, while the others
were mapping, and divided as 10 whether
he should have been credited with five
others
Walthour, with his wife and children
went to IIasbrouck Heights, n. j., early
yesterday morning to visit Mrs. wal
thour's parents, and remained there last
night. He was non-committal as to the
race except 10 say that he tried his best
10 win.
The lap over the other riders that they
all agree should have gone TO his credit
was the one he made after Coffey fell. IL
was announced that from 3 o'clock Sat
urday on that everything should go"
and Walthour spurted ahead after the
others had slowed down. lie circled the
track twice ahead OF them. The scorers
had put out the red flag when Coffey fell
a signal that no laps would count while
it waved, but even IL that ruling was
ment, the men say Walthour should have
been credited with his distance.
lie did not sprint when Coffey fell but
waited until after Mcdonald. Coffeys
field completed tho flag should have been
taken in Instantly, and Walthour jumped
ahead with that I'm view. II was kept out
though through what now appears 10
have been carelessness and n subsequent
desire TO cover such up.
Another point on the race that was
verified yesterday is the fact that all the
riders tried their best 10 win IL was
learned that several of them. when asked
their condition late I'm tho week, told
Manager Pat Powers that they would
never be able TO hold out II Walthour did
not stop trying TO gain his forfeited lap.
Reports were circulated on Thursday that
he was only continuing 80 carry out his
contract TO ride.
Walthour was remuneratod. but he
had no contract: his expenses were not
paid as were those OF the other riders.
and as late as 2 o'clock Saturday night.
an hour before the finish. he told his
trainers that he would ride without taxi
ing cent for IL II he could only win.
Nanderstuyft was the saddest looking
OF all. His face was covered with
scratches and bruises and down over his
right check was a mark four inches long
and an inch wide that will undoubtedly
leave a scar for life.

UPPER CLASSES
MUST SHOULDER
RESPONSIBILITY

"The people who purport 10 be OF the
upper class In society the so-called NOR
al class, In the city of Providence. are the
ones responsible for the conditions that
makes up the evils, the perils, OF city
life" declared Rev. Asbury Il. krom last
evening at the Benehcent Congregational
church.
IF every member of every church in
this city would unite for the wiping out OF
certain well-deflned evils In our midst,
this city could be cleansed of some of its
moral leporsy You undertake to head
that campaign. and at the very outset you
will discover that some OF the men whom
you relied upon will defeat your purpose.
That movement would cripple their in
come, hazard their political future and
ALLEVIATE them from some OF their ac-
completes in crime.
1--WE lay the responsibility for evil upon
the avarcious passions and the sensual
lusts OF the lower, immoral classes: out
let us put some OF that responsibility
where it belongs. on the upper. so-called
moral classes. that are willing that tho
base passions should be cultivated in
youth and indulged i'm during manhood so
long as things contribute sheckles TO their
own particular Golfers.
Crime never becomes dangerous until
IL becomes respectable. and when We in
this city tolerated such men I'm society
and further their interests at the polls VIC
become partners in their despicable and
dangerous business.
What kind Of moral influence can you
expect i'm the home and in social life from
men and women who think IL better 10
starve than TO wear last years suit OF
clothes?
Il want to tell you men and women that
the responsibility rests upon you. Good
public opinion Is not reated by theology.
but by men and women who do good
deeds May we all be aroused TO our re-
sponsibilty to this city inspired by the
vision OF that holy city which It IL our
business. not first to enter hereafter but
first TO realize here and now"

SOCCER PLAYER
IS SUSPENDED

Manager Harry Jerome received no
tihcation from the president of the New
England league, Mr.. Hogan OF Lynn. TO
the effect that Jack Ford, one OF the
players of his team. had been suspended
for period OF two weeks. The cause OF
suspension was given as abusive language
10 Referee Pickup. This news has thrown
the local fans into turmoil.
According To Manager Jerome the al
legged abusive language was INDUCED i'm
at the game at Gorham Park on Dec. s.
In speaking of the matter of abusive
language, which has been indulged in
even while a game was in progress, and
which has been passed unnoticed by the
head OF the league. Manager Jerome cites
the case OF Bowdoin, who participated in
the Pan-Lynn game, and who. while the
game was IN progress. was ordered out OF
the game for indulging in most abusive
language
Another instance cited was I'm tho Pan
Coats game, when he says abusive Lam
guage was indulged in 10 such an extent
that the referee resigned his position
These two cases. Mr.. Jerome says, passed
unnoticed by the president. but when one
of the Gorham players INDUCED i'm abu-
sive language, and that before game
and not while the game was i'm progress
he was suspended. The reason for this
