he couldn't let him have the seats.

obtained their titles by claiming
them, and then defending them

they have been successful for sew

question that they have earned a
right TO call themselves champions.
There's no flaw In the title to-day.
With Wolgast It Is a different at.

There are to be fifteen teams in the

tiers of the globe. Among the riders
there Is probably more rivalry and real
anxiety over success than has ever at
tended a six-day race, This Ia brought
about by the fact that all of the cyclists

given purses of q fixed amount OF
money. Tho pedalling athletes two or

To this demand Mr.. Pollok and Mr..

In addition to the old favorites who
have come here from year to year and
