A few changes took place in TIE team

The Royals lost their hold on first

by each taking three games. respectively,
from Serenaders and Runners. made
the three teams tied for first place. The
others stand about tho same as they
were last week except that the Arling-

tenth place for several weeks, relaxed
It by taking two games from SpaFroughs

WASHINGTON GETS
MOTOR CYCLE RACES
Best Talent in the East Will
Compete in Thanksgiving
Races Held Here.

Washington is slated for the biggest
Thanksgiving Day motorcycle event IN
the country.
Under the auspices Of the National
Capital Motorcycle Club some OF the
best men in the East viii be seen ia
competition on the Benning track next
Thursday. The track is being rounded
into shape. and the best sport OF this
nature that Washingtouians have ever
witnessed is promised
The event Is OF great local interest
as it brings together the Districts two
best cycle artists. Mangoid and Gen
MALTA, who have been pickering over
terms for The past several weeks, are
entered and the feature OF the meet Is
looked for In their competition. Both
Of these men have annexed cups in all
Of the recent events. but for some
strange and unaccountable reason pro-
motors have never been able to get the
pair together until now.
The Reading and Indian motorcycle
firms have both consented to send their
best riders down for the races and from
the present outlook the event viii be
the biggest event Of its kind that has
ever been pulled on in Washington.
Many more OF the Northern cracks be-
cause Of the conditions of the tracks in
that section Of the country will be on
hand for a try at the several beautiful
cups that various firms have offered for
the races.
The program consists Of a 10-mile open
event, a I5-miIe piston displacement
handicap. and S5-mile test for stock
cars only.

things is not over. in spite of the gloomy
prophecies Of some persons that the
auto is going 10 put him out OF busi-

The auto is here to stay. and so is
the high-class horse. and there is room

and the WouId-be purchaser. in the
mattw of actual values. But after

idea that it was as easy TO produce

recklessly into the market, paying vast
sums for stations and brood mares.
When he began to sum up the profit
