Baseball is popular live and active
because there is always something
doing. The retirement of Wagner,
the suspension of Cobb, the attack
on an umpire, the trading of players
the paying of fabulous prices for
embryo stars, these and other
things all help to keep up the ex-
citement and everlastingly mirror the
sport in everybodys eyes.

Jimmy Moran, the celebrated cy-
clist, description the man from Chel-
sea is sure to enjoy, during visit
to The Evening Star yesterday de-
clared there was never an atom of
truth in the stories coming from the
headquarters of the Motordrome that
ne had been flirting with the out
laws" James admitted that the cy-
cling situation at present was a keen
delight to the riders, who appreciated
the advent of an angel" and who
would work the game to the limit
AS far as he was concerned, he
expected to stick to the "big show"
although that New York six-day race
mas always in the past appealed
very strongly to him. However, pa
pers for contract calling for two
years services are to be signed i'm
mediately by Moran Besides, Jim
my is to get berth in the Paris six
day race, in which the "pickings" are
especially good
C
Moran has come back to life pretty
thoroughly this year, and with Fred
White, his old pacemaker, on the job
he expects to accomplish wonders
White, who is known in cycling as
Whitley, is, in Moran's opinion, the
greatest pacemaker that ever sat on
machine. Just to show how good he
is, Moran won nineteen straight races
following his pace and Jimmy ex-
poets to go along at continuous vic
torious gait now that he has his old
steady back again. White retired
from the game some years ago be-
cause of the jealousy of another pace
maker and he comes back again be-
cause said jealous pacemaker is now
practically out of the game

Thorwald Ellegaard Is making a
most favorable impression in his
training stunts at the Velodrome and
Champion Kramer is watching every
move. Kramer knows the Dane is a
good man, and he is, as usual. anxious
concerning the time he is sprinting
eighths and twelfths in and just
where he Is starting his sprints in his
| workouts. The champion, though,
needn't worry for some time yet
! Ellegaard, first of all, will meet AL
fred Grenda, and the Tall Tasma-
Man" will be a pretty good test for
| him. Then will follow matches with
| Frank Cavanagh, Jackie Clark, AL
| fred Goullet. and, last of all, the
great and only "Allah!" If Ellegaard
| is able to go up the line as high as
Kramer without suffering a defeat, he
will be entitled to great praise. To
beat Cavanagh may not be such a
difficult job for the simple reason
| that the Dane knows entirely too
much for the Yankee Hope" Cava-
nagh is so brand-new that he prac-
tically throws away favorable
| chances, and Ellegaard is so apt that
| he would be sure to take advantage
of every false move. Clark, as a con-
| tender against Ellegaard, would prove
an attractive card, but Jackie would
| have to be flying and in possession of
his keenest Judgment to give the
Dane a beating. IT'S true that Clark
has improved greatly in track gener-
alship, and he may be able TO make
