Clark is perhaps tickled now that
he didn't go on the advice and urging
of friends over to the Motordrome.
Whether he ever rides at the Velo-
drome again, with MacFarland as
manager, is something to worry about,
but it would be nothing compared
to the humiliation of being pointed
out for the rest of his days as an
OUTLAW" Jackie should thank his
stars, not his friends, at the narrow
escape.

Mr.. Million was a visitor at the
Evening Star office this morning. He
was in high spirits and seemed to be
pleased with himself and the new
turn of affairs, although he declared
he would feel keenly the loss of Mr..
Chapman. Mr. Million said that
everything, as far as the riders were
concerned, would be amicably settled,
he felt sure.
1.-THE Cycle Racing Association viii
hold a melting in Newark on Monday,
when officers will be elected, and
several important matters will be dis
cussed. Mr.. Uppercu and myself
have got on famously together since
the amalgamation was first talked
over He is fine fellow and a good
sport and I know he is fighter.
We have talked over the past little
but we are most interested in the
future. 1 want Mr.. Uppercu to take
the presidency of the Cycle Racing
Association. and know we are going
to get along fine together. Il will be
up to the Motordrome tomorrow
night to witness the racing there
for am a halloween now, you know.
Mr.. Uppercu will be over to the Velo-
drome Sunday to see how his new
enterprise runs things"

back, and maybe he isn't. True. his
recent races at the velodrome have
not been up to his usual brilliant
form, but with all that the champion
Is still king at the motor-race game.
AS everybody knows, Jackie Clark is
riding well these days. yet Kramer,
in Boston the other night, beat Clark
and Alfred Goullet quite badly in a
three cornered contest. Kramer beat
for a first, he beat Goullet from be-
hind, and he beat both Goullet and
Clark with all three on the track. In
the other heat Goullet beat Clark. So
Kramer, not just yet, anyway, Is far
from a dead one.

Clarence Carmen, writing from
Paris, says he finished second in "a
one-hour paced race run at the Buff
falo velodrome track on July 20.
Sores, Carmen says. won the race,
and Shepherd, an Australian, riding
there for the first time. finished third.
Loralode was fourth. The distance
covered was IL kilometers and 4S0.
meters. Carmen is coming back to the
u. S. A. just as soon as his contract
has been completed. He had partly
arranged to ride at the velodrome, but
as there isn't any other place to race
now. since the big combination has
been formed, why there won't be any
wild rush for Clarence's services.

Charley Mayser, the athletic coach,
at one time instructor at the Newark
Academy, later in charge of affairs
at Tome school in Port Davenport,
and who has only recently accepted
the position of physical director at
the Franklin and Marshall college, is
in Europe on a pleasure trip. He is
at present in Lucerne.
II have just left Paris" Mayser
writes me, land am glad to get to
a quiet place. l walked into the
Follies Bergere in Paris and saw a
big colored fellow sitting in a box
with a beautiful white girl. They
were accompanied by a colored in
terpreter. / found out that the big
fellow was Jack Johnson and the girl
was his wife. He is not creating
much excitement. He is to box some
fellow in an exhibition"
Having disposed of Johnson Mr.
Mayser writes a few lines on ath-
letics, In which, of course, he is much
more interested.
at is surprising how the Germans
and French are taking such an in
terest in sport, especially trade
work." the F. and M. coach continues
"over here they seem to be bent on
doing big things in preparation for
the Berlin Olympics. They appear to
have good material, but they 10 not
like to sacrifice the pleasures of life
while training for an event"
c.
Jack Johnson, along with his latest
xxytfa ic r,ioxyipn Tnnlon md
Paris "off the board" as the saying
goes. He is filling a theatrical en-
gagement in Paris and at the same
time he is doing everything he can
think of to be talked about. He goes
into the leading cafes in the French
city and acts sufficiently conspicuous
to attract attention. The newspapers
are devoting much space to his es-
capades. and Johnson seems to be
having the time of his life. The
black champion is carrying on just
about as he did while in this country,
and he will shortly discover that
both London and Paris will soon tire
OF him, as we did, and make life just
as miserable.
c.
Jack johnson intends, so he says,
to remain in Europe the remainder
of his life and he is saying some
new things about the way he was
treated in this country Some of the
accusations he makes are the truth,
but most of his talk is exaggerated.
In signed article in one OF the pa
pers he tells how he fooled the U.
s. A. in leaving the country. and he
admits that it cost him a pretty pen
