1t looks as though the race will narrow
down to a struggle between the first three
named teams, Rutt and Stol, Walthour
and Root, and Fogler and Lawson, the
choice resting between the first two. II
Walthour can last for the six days his
team will have a good chance to carry or
first money, for Root would then measure
strides in the final dash with Rutt, grant
ing, of course, that the German Is still
on his wheel next Saturday. Only an ac-
cident could probably put that foreign
team out of the running. for Rutt and
Stol can stand the strain and pace as well
as the best Of the Americans, which they
have proved in past races.
Walthour was touted as the probable
winner last year, but the Southerner had
to withdraw from the race early in the
week. owing to an injury sustained short
ly before in a motor-paced race. This
time the Atlanta flyer says he Is in the
hest of condition. There are six riders
In the field who AVE been on winning
teams in past years. Root turned the
trick three times, once with Oliver Dor
Ion ard twice,as the team mate of Fogler.
mcfarland won the race with Harry
Elkes, and that team still holds the records
fer many of the intermediate distances.
Walthour finished first Two years., once
with Archie M~cEachern, and again with
Bonnie Munroe. Rutt and Stohl were re-
turn I'd the winners last year, the former
beating out Fogler in the final sprint.
klkes and M~cEachern are now dead. So
is George Leander, who was first to cross
the tape the year he rode with Floyd
krebs, of this city.
The riders who will face the starter to-
morrow night form a pretty classy field,
but there are a number of stars who will
be among the missing this year. Among
these are Jackie Clarke, the Australian;
Floyd Krebs, the Newark rider; Petit

one or two post entries will be accepted
on the. night of the race. Clarke would
surely be a drawing card and a prominent
factor in the race, but until his differences
with T. T. Powers are adjusted he cam

An effort will be made this year to shat
ter the distance record for the race, 1888
miles and laps, made by Miller and
Waller, the winners of the first six-day
team race. With this object in view, the
management has decided to omit special
events during the week, which In past
years consumed about six hours of the
up for the team establishing a new record
1t is a sure bet that the foreigners, at least,
will go out for that coin, and. If that's the
case, the. Americans will have to keep up

features on the card, a three-cornered
match race between Frank Kramer. Major
Taylor and Victor ,LDpre, and a ten-mlle
motor-paced race between Bobby Walthour
and Albert Wills, the diminutive. English
man, who recently rode 6lh miles ID an
