sidetracked entirely. Solomon'S line
of dope on the Newark Club was all
wrong and he got "in bad" To the
credit of George let it be said, though,
he worked his cards so well that his
newspaper friend boosted the price
of the club as hard as he could for
him. However Solomon couldn't
make good and much wasted effort
was the result.
The boys who were there are say
ing that the dinner given by Messrs.
Million and Uppereu to their Velo-
drome track officials at Krueger's
Auditorium Saturday night was
about the best affair they have ever
attended Champagne flowed SO
freely that Track Boss Willie Bolles
yelled, Hold, enough" and some of
the others, it is said, told the COM
plete history of their lives. The ad-
dress of Inglis NJ. Uppercu, it is said,
was most pleasing effort, and no
one could find the man who didn't
nave a good time" The menu was
the work of Poke Freeman, the cele-
brated press agent, and it savored of
cycling from cover to cover, the vari-
Gus dishes being named in honor of
the guests.

York grind, Clark is not going in the
Boston race, but Hehir may decide
to ride in it.

between Willie Hoppe. the champion,
and Koji Yamada, the clever Japa-
nese expert, which is to be played at
the Metropolitan Billiard Parlors
Thursday night. In securing such an
attraction, the Messrs. Wheaton evil

appreciated and that large crowd
80 ooh,
AS champion, Hoppe, of course, will be
the star of the occasion, but not a few
will go to the Metropolitan Thursday
night to see the Japanese play. Mike
Mullin, one of the local experts, is a
great admirer of Yamada and he is
sure to have front seat at the match,
as will also his hated rival, C. Stasse,
who considers Hoppe an almost GER
tain winner of the contest.

1t is said that Leach Cross had
81, 600 posted as a forfeit that he
would make weight for Willie

and see if Willie takes $1,000 wortl
