In signing Jackie Clark to COM
pete at the Velodrome next season,
in the New York six-day and in the
Paris six-day races the Messrs.
Million, Uppercu and MacFarland,
1t would seem. have again given
the popular little Australian all the
worst of the bargain. For his ap-
pearance at the Velodrome he is to
receive, it is said, the same amount
as the present season and his bit
for the New York grind, it is said,
will be $1,000. for the long race and
500 for the match race which will
be held the Saturday night previous.
For the Paris race, too, he will get
Poor Little Jackie is getting
more abuse from the mean old pro-
moters. AS an evidence of this, Clark
will likely make $4,000 at the Velo-
drome next season, about $1,000 in
the New York race and perhaps
$4,000 in the Paris race, a total of
49, 900. Thus it is easily seen what
promoters will do when they have
you in their power.

1t has already been settled that a
four cornered match race Will be
the feature of the card on the Sat-
urday night previous to the New
York siX-day race and it promises
to be some bear" In it will be
Frank Kramer, Alfred Goullet, Wal
ter Rutt and the much abused Jackie
Clark. 1t will be an la Partisan af-
fair. One man will race another I'M
til all meet each other and then all
four will line up in the final smash.
Points will count and there is to be
strictly no teaming.

Talking about teaming, that Illus
tie Stakes" a week ago Sunday, they
tell me, was genuine family affair.
A combination of eight riders, includ-
ing Grenda, gho won the race, and
Clark, who finished second, were
among those, who pulled down $3.50
apiece for their share of the contest
Clark was on Grenda's wheel, it will
be remembered in the Hustle
Stakes" and the claim is made that
Alfred and Jackie have been very
friendly all during the present season,
and Clark has won many races
thereby Still, Clark will probably
tell you he is the most abused little
boy in the world.

Going back to the six day game, the
favorite old team of Rutt and Stol will
be competitors this year Rutt will
come here with new honors, having
won the worlds championship and the
Grand Prix since his last appearance
in this country. Other foreign teams
of prominence will also be engaged.
The American teams are being paired
up daily, but the decision of Kramer
not to ride has changed plans some
what. So far the teams engaged have
been Mcnamara and Root, Goullet
and Fogler, Carmen and Coburn,
Lawrence and Magin and Clark and
Hehir. A team that may be formed,
and team that would make more
trouble than any other team in the
grind, will have Jimmy Moran and
Freddy Hill as partners. Neither of
these babies" are sufficiently fast as
sprinters to be able to win the race
in the final mile, but both of them are
such grand pluggers that there might
be such thing as lap being gained
before it came down to the final mile.
Anyway, Moran and Hill are being
thus early talked of as the bear cat"
team.

Bobby Walthour will be in this
country shortly and he is sure to ride
in the New York affair. Just who
his partner will be is not known, but
maybe it will be George Cameron
who has proven to be a sticker in the
race. Walthour, by the way, will
ride in this country next year for
Messrs. Million and Uppercu. Alfred
