tanned in a letter received yesterday
by Manager Chapman from Victor

of the owners of the Velodrome.
Perchicot had been nominated by
the French Racing Union to come to
America as the representative of
France in the worlds title race, and
Immediately after receiving the norri-
nation Perchicot notified Breyer.
Perchicot, according to Breyer's let

This latest French star has made q
wonderful record this year and he Is
very fast. He ranks with Emil Friol
and Thorwald E~llegaarde, the pres
ent worlds champion. . Friol was SEQ
ond in the championship of France,
being beaten by less than a o

Emil Friol, who is under contract
to ride at the Velodrome, will leave

heats of this race are run June 80,
the semi-finals July 4 and the final
July I. AS Friol is the favorite and
very apt to make the final he will not

Louis Drucke, at one time regarded
as a future Matty, is now appearing
here in a Toronto uniform. Few
pitchers made more successful en-
tries into the big show than Drucke
made with the Giants, but the Texas
terror was injured in a subway acct
dent one day in the fall of 1910, and he
has never been right since then. He
won suit for damages from the Inter-
borough company, but his pitching
summing has gone.
Drucke's principal asset when he
broke in with the Giants was a drop
ball that bore a resemblance to Mat
TVS ~fadeaway. With it he won
twelve games and lost ten In 1910.
Last year he won four and lost four
games and this season he has been
even less successful.
