nine SECONDS
FOR QUARTER
OF MILE
That's What Seymour Nego'
tiated in Practise Trial at
the Motordrome.

After a successful workout today
Ray Seymour, who now p~ronounces
himself fit for any race at the local
saucer, has been making some re-
markable time in practise. Seymour
made the quarters in nine seconds
fiat this morning, and it was only
yesterday he equaled the track rec
ord for the mile.
Seymour said today that he was
sure he would do better tomorrow
when he met Johnny Albright, the
New York boy, who has been sharing
hoRors with Arthur Chapple at the
Brighton Stadium.
The match, race tomorrow will be
only one of the features that start
the three-day motor carnival to be
held at the Stadium Motordrome to-
morrow, Sunday and Monday. Larry
Flickenstein and W. RI. Brown will
ride in the sweepstakes, and as both
boys are tuned for a severe battle
solre interesting racing may be
looked for in this event.
The opening number on the card
tomorrow will be an amateur race
that win be followed by the class B
boys, who are scheduled toiride three
races. These riders put up a class
of racing that is equal to the class
A division for excitement and thrills,
although their time is not as fast as
is the record breaking class. The
three events for the class A men will
have a larger field than at any time
this season. Many of the fans will
keep their eyes on Seymour and
Hasha in these events in order to get
a line on both boys, as they are to
ride a special match race Labor
Day.
Although something may be judged
from their performance in these
races, nothing definite can be
claimed. as there are many things
that might keep a man from win
nlng when there are more than two
riders on the track.
The f~ree-for-all is the race that
generally brings the spectators to
their feet. and with the new riders

Eddie Foster. third baseman of the
Washington Club. former Rochester.
Jersey City and New York American
property, is the best young player to
come into the American League this
year. in the opinion of President Ban
Johnson.
The head of the American League
voiced this opinion when asked to
name the best all-around young ball
player of this years vintage. This
is what johnson says of Foster:
Foster is but one of several very
fast players who have made great
records in their first seasons efforts.
When every view of Fosters work is
considered, however, l believe he is
entitld to the honor of leading the
list.
Foster is a fast fielder, covers a
lot of ground, hits well and plays a
magnificent inside game. He is y
wise player in every way and is inn
proving all Of the time.
This is his second adventure in
the American League, and he learned
much by his first experience. Like
many a young player he was not
ready for fast company the irst
time up. and he did not know how
to take care of himself.
1T is different now. however. for
he has learned his lesson we'll and
realizes it is up to him to keep him.

The last and biggest ace of the
series of worlds championship events.

will be u at the Velodrome Sunday.
The paced championship and the
amateur championship have passed
into the pages of cycling history.
American riders won both of these
titles, and SO far the worlds meets
have been very satisfactory to the
Yankees. And an American, Frank
Kramer, is the favorite for the re-
naming title. If Kramer is success
full Sunday it will be a great triumph
and a clean sweep for the Yankee
cyclists.
In the qualifying heats France was
very successful. and is represented
stronger than America, although
there are more American riders who
qualified. The is class to all OF
the victorious F~renchmen, which is
more than can be said of some of the
Americans who have made the semi
finals. Kramer is the sole hope of
the Yankees, and if he fails to qualify
for the final a foreigner is sure to
capture the big prize.
The nine riders who will line up in
the three semi-f1nals are Emil Friol,
Marcel Dupuy and E. Perchicot, of
France; Frank Kramer, Walter De
Mara Dave Mackay, Pete Drobach
and George Cameron, of America, and
ALT Grenda, of Australia.
The drawing for the semi-1nals has
not beer made yet.
Perchicot is going to be a dangerous
man in the semi-inal. Perchicot
worked but twice at the Velodrome
yesterday and he is a greatly i'm
proved rider. BY Sunday he should
be at his best.
Friol has improved in form also.
and his right eye, which vas closed
and a big handicap to him in the trial
heat wednesday, is open now and he
is feeling much better.
The other races or the Sunday bill
are a one-mile handicap, two-miie IN
vitation and a ten-mile open for the
professionals, and a five-mile open,
half-mile handicap and a novice for
the amateurs.
