that Walter Rutt will not come to
this country to ride In the New York
day has struck a chord of terror
and of sadness In the breast of P.
Powers, who is managing the grind.
1t was around Rutt that much OF the
success of the race was figured, and
now that the big German" will not
be here something will have to be
done to offset the shock. However,
the prospects that Floyd A. MacFar-
land will eventually and kindly de-.
eide to give Powers a helping hand
are so bright that Mac" may be able
to pull Powers through. Otherwise, 1t
would seem, the whole affair is
hopeless case.
The inability of Rutt, whose in
Juries, 1t appears, have proven more
painful than expected, to be present
for the race means, of course, that
another feature will have to be ar
ranged to take the place OF the Kra-
mer-Rutt match, billed for the Gar
den on Friday night, December g. In
its stead has been arranged a four
oornered French style point race, in
which Kramer, Clark, Perchicot and
Verrl will be the contestants. 1t may
be that this race will be held on Sat-
urday night, for both Mr.. Upperou,
who is putting up the money for the
race. and Mr.. MacFarland, who knows
the game, are opposed to running a
two-night meet. This scheme proved
a failure last year. and there isn't any
reason why 1t should be a success
this year. 1t looks as IL there will be
only one sprint meet, which is quite
enough.
The way things doomed UP this
morning Mr.. MacF arland looks to be
the white-haired boy AS predicted
in the Evening Star of yesterday Mac
Fariand was sent for, and he came
down from Buffalo at the very first
call. Along with Mr.. Uppercu Mr.
MacFarland Is spending a few hours
in Mr.. Powers's office in New York
today. Out of that conference is sure

Mr., Uppercu wants real six-day
race he will place MacFarland in full
charge of the management of the
affair and this, understand, he Is
going to do. Mr.. Powers will be a
sort of business manager and remain
in the front of the house." Mac
Farland isn't combatative by any
means. but Powers will have to
apologize for the numerous remarks
he has made about Mac" and you
can bet all the tea in China on that.
Powers claims. 1t is said. that he was
badly "double-crossed" by the anti
cycling newspaper, and everybody
who knows the situation will believe
him; but at that he made a bad mis-
take, and he will have to make good
to MaeFarland or suffer the conse-
quences. Mac" went to New York
today willing to do all In his power
to help the race. but he will insist on
Powers coming through with strong
apology. 1t is a big victory for Mac
Farland and the best thing that ever
happened to cycling.
c.
The p. Powers methods will not
prevail If mcfarland takes charge
of the race. Powers is against the
offering of 'premes." a new feature
to six day racing. Mcfarland is for
them. Mr.. Uppercu will be the Judge
in this case, and that he will tell
MAC" to use his own judgment is a
certainty. mcfarland is also in
favor of cabaret show. Powers is
against 1t. There will be cabaret
show.
'If I have anything to do with the
New York race MacFarland said
this morning, "the public will be
given good run for its money. The
management will offer 'premes' and
the spectators may offer 'premes' IL
they want to. That will make lively
racing, and that is what the fans
want. We will also have cabaret
show, if I am to have my way, for
