COLISEUM is CLOSED
UNTIL NEXT SUNDAY
Australian Champion De Fraga on
Way from Antipodes and Ex-
pected to Come to
This City

There will be no motorcycle races at
the Coliseum track today, because the
management has made up its mind
that by waiting until next Sunday no
possible risk is run of disappointing the
crowds that go to witness this new
sport.
While everything looked the past
week as if the old problem of lack of
sufficient racing machines had Deen
solved. because of the splendid form
that all machines now at the track
were showing, the safest course argued
for a postponement of races for one
week to make things absolutely GER
tain.
BY that time new riders will un-
doubtedly be at the track, while all
the fast ones including Lingenfelder
and excluding DeRosier,. will be mount
ed on machines whose ability to stand
UP for any kind of grueling work is
beyond question. DeRosier carried out
his threat last Monday of going east,
and doubtless will never be seen at
the local track, unless mis- factory
makes him return in the event that his
records are taken away from him by
Lingenfelder and I-erkum on their N.
S. u. and Reading Standard machines
as they are quite likely to be before
another thirty days have gone by
Derkum is putting both of his rae
ing machines under a course of
sprouts, making sure that they are in
perfect condition, and the good news
will be welcome to all fans that hence
forth there is little possibility of his
ever marring a race because of a lack
of enough machines to be able to sub
stitute one for the other whenever one
goes bad, the same as DeRosier was
able to do.
Lingenfelder has signed with the N.
S. u. people to ride their machine in
the future and will have for his anna
teur team mate that speedy little
simon pure champion. Artemus Ward,
who raised everyone's hair last Sunday
with his spectacular riding.
Arthur Mitchell, heretofore with the
N. S. u, will be seen for the first time
on an Indian machine. The talk is
that Bake is thinking seriously of
turning pro" and riding an Indian
also, but this is denied in some quar-
ters.
With Seymour and Graves both rid
ing strong on the big seven horsepower
machines, they complete a quartet in
the amateur ranks that would be diff
ficult to duplicate anywhere in the
country so far as daring and heady
riding is concerned.
Cecil De Fraga, the great Australian
champion. who has never been deafeat
ed by a motorcycle opponent on any
track, is now en- route from his native
home to this country, and will arrive
in Vancouver in a day or two. Word
has been sent to him to come direct
to Los Angeles, and it is more than
probable that he will be the card at
next Sundays races.
In company with Lingenfelder. Der
KUN and Mitchell this fast foreigner
would complete a field which should
turn more thrilling miles than have
ever been seen during the previous De-
Roster regime, when the Frenchman
succeeded in pulling down most of the
firsts and the worlds records along
with the money.
