out to his own satisfaction. Griffith
SAYS with much positiveness that
the Mackmen will have to keep trot-
ting along at a two-minute gait to
prevent his Senators from galloping
over them, but the distance between
the Washingtons, which are third,
and the Athletics, which are first, is
so great that it looks very much as

BLINDNESS of ]. P. NJ
We hope you will not follow out
your determination to go back home,
in the event of being beaten again
by Jackie Clark. Speaking for my
self, having seen you ride, and also
knowing the sentiments of a large
number of regular patrons OF the
Velodrome, | can assure you IN all
sincerity that the fans" like to see
you in action, and though you have
been beaten you are far from having
been disgraced We like you for your
past record we like you because you
are a gentleman, and we like you
because you are a good sportsman.
Therefore, stay; ride out your con-
will
able to find matches for you to 10
this, which will be interesting to yon,
interesting for the "other fellow and
interesting for the regulars He VIII
surely lose nothing by your longer
stay-neither will you-and the crowd
will be on hand to see you ride, rest
assured. 1t is no disgrace to pe
beaten by Clark, and even though
you do not get through this time far
enough to get match with Kramer,
yet you will not suffer in the end by
carrying through your contract;
rather will you gain the added respect
of lovers of the racing game.
Many of us feel that you are not
showing the form you have been
known to possess. You probably are
"off color" because you are not ac-
clmated You might feel less chagrin
than you do by the knowledge that
you have been beaten by Jackie Clark
in his very best form, and who is
surely one of the very best little
sportsmen in the game. Stay with us
a while and get better acquainted;
many of us were as sorry to see you
beaten on Sunday as Jackie is said
to have been, and we would not like
to see you leave your job unfinished"
and hear thereafter the cry of the
unthinking that the Dane got cold
feet and beat it home"

Gently of a coming champ" l
babble and it puzzles me much why
he has not already won the honors,
but l lay the fault to his modesty.
A youth of sixteen summers, he is
all of what / sing. With the brow
of Caesar, the build of Apollo. the
speed of light, the nerve of Bryan
and the chatter of MacFarland-
how could he live uncrowned
Now enters the hero (Cheers).
All, J. P. N, did your Kramer, Clark,
Goullet or Lawson ever receive such
debut? Follow me and meet the
hero-see, he is none other than the
rich grocer's SON Philip rides the
roads, delivering. for training. That's
where | discovered him, or rather
mistook him to be one of the pros

and found he numbered among my
acquaintance 1 modestly, praised
him and asked him why he didn't
take to racing. He saaid. 81 am
thinking about it."
Believe it or not, he is a lad of
sixteen springs, feet 10 inches tall
and weighs las stripped. Is that not
some development? Probably you
think my discovery a gold brick. No,
no. He will take to racing Sunday,
August 10, 1918, at the Velodrome, so
tell MacDougall to beware. II. S.

Palzer, and to put Mr.. Stringer right
on a few other points:
j. P. N:
Friend Joe-Much obliged to you
for your criticism of the letter of the
man called Stringer If he knew the
facts of the case and did not pay too
much attention to hearsays he would
not be stringing himself. | suppose
