Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1912-12-12

'Iney are human and deserve rest.
\ There was one insane person in
the reserve.seat section early yester-
day. Each time Johnny Bedell would
pass him he simply cried like a baby.
Jimmy Moran was the first rider to
be warned on the new ten-lap mile.
He had blowout yesterday morn
ing, and on taking his own time in re-
mounting a new wheel, Referee John
Valentine warned him to get in be-
fore ten laps were up. Jimmy did.
Jackie Clarke is the quiet boy of
the race. He never jokes, talks nor
laughs on the track.
Berthets' face is in bad shape He
was battered up pretty we'll in his
mishap with Magin yesterday.
! The writer yelled to Root when the
riders were on the flat yesterday
morning on the cause of the trouble
They want us to ride about fifty
miles an hour" Eddie returned No
it's not that bad. Maybe he thought
he was on motor cycle.
Root has a pipe about as large as
himself. He amused the fans yester-
day, when he smoked continually
during the hours of IL and IL.
They have nickname for Perchi-i
cot. It's "ichi-coo" now.
During the hours of IL and IL yes
terday the riders averaged five and
half miles. And 1t wasn't walk
ing match. either.
George l.. solomon. president
of the Newark baseball club, was a
visitor at the race yesterday. George
used to be a bike rider himself and
rode at the Garden when Teddy
Hale won the grind in 1896.
In the big sprint which occurred
last night Clarence Carmen and AL
win Loftes were Tapped. Carmen is
feeling in first-class condition, but
the same cannot be said of his part
ner, Loftes. Loftes complained of
being tired early in the night
Perchicot is rapidly getting in
right with the fans. The Frenchman
is comical on the track and is always
pulling off the unexpected in the hu-
morous line.
Jackie Clarke is weathering the
grind in first-class fashion. Jackie
is right on ITO Kramer's wheel at all
times.
We will have to hand 1t to Joe
Fogler for possessing the gray mat
| ter. When Kramer is on the track
you will find Sir Joseph close by, but
when the champ" seeks his place of
| rest Joe will go back in the field or
else take the lead and set his own
pace. Joe seems to fear Kramer
more than any other rider, which is
only natural considering who the
one to be feared is.
The "Koburn Kamp" includes John
Lafferty, one of the greatest eaters
who ever struck a camp. Lafferty
claims that Pete Puebles. who is as
| sisting Dave Coburp with the for
eigners. developed considerable av-
oirdupois in former six-day races. He
Is after Pete's record.
Here it is Thursday and the Broc-
co-Berthet team is still intact. Brocco
by no means is tired of setting the
pace. He still goes to the fore and
pulls off those long sprints, which
generally last for couple of miles.
Berthet is bearing up wonderfully
during the race. He has been in more
spills than any other rider. Yester-
| day he went down and today has his
skin in some places was scraped off,
which was very painful. The French
man, however, insists on sticking to
! it.
When Berthet went down Broeco
ran over to his partner, at the same
time saying soothing remarks in
French. When Berthet was carried
TO his training quarters he cried like
a child When his injuries were
patched up he felt considerably bet
ter and went out on the track to
relieve Brocco, who had been riding
for the most part of an hour.
Pete Prunty, who is the official an
nouncer knows how TO silence the
garden He announces the score,
| auses for a minute and then reels
OF line Of talk relating TO records,
etc. But Prunty Is the only one who
can do this well.
