Mr.. Million is very sincere in his
desire to dispose of his holdings.
Newark has been cycling centre
, for years, and I believe I have done
my share toward making the sport
r attractive and interesting here. Now
that 1t is in a most fiourishing condi-
ton I would not like to see it suffer
through any argument. That's why
I want to sell. Let Mr. Uppercu. or
anybody, come to me and I'll show
them everything to be seen and make
them good price in the bargain.
Both tracks can't exist. With all the
stars, we seem to have the best of
it, But the Motordrome can have
1t all by simply striking bargain
with the velodrome. That's all I've
got to say
Joe Fog1er has stirred up some
what heated discussion by suggesting
pursuit race between Goullet and
Grenda. He has asked Manager
Chapman to put it on the card for
Decoration Day.
ut would be a great race" says
Joseph why. those two fellows
would ride all day"
Goullet doesn't like it at all, but he
! says he'll ride. Grenda, as usual,
says nothing He'd ride any kind of
a race. He is sure sportsman.

Feeling sure, no doubt, that he has
the right and only angle to the
cycling situation, the writer of the
following letter feels no doubt that
he should be heard on the subject:

The method of handing ont 6nes

is not fair to the riders. Do you think

Cornell and Harvard will meet in
their annual boat race on Lake ca
vupa TODAY unless the wafer 10 too
rough for rowing. Indications are that
! it won't be. but the weather in general
at Ithaca is none too propitious. AS
to the race, Cornell was never more
| fit, it is said, and Coach Courtnev
| was never more confident With such
a combination, one might ask, And
where does Harvard come in?" To
tell the truth, Harvard doesn't seem
to come in at all. On her race against
Princeton and Pennsylvania the
Crimson crew figures poorly, and it
didn't increase the Cambridge crews
prestige any when Columbia and the
Navy showed Princeton the way home
later on. Cornell crews are always
so well hammered and so well trained
that they are generally the natural
choice, and for the race today against
Harvard the men seem to be par
