p. T. Powers, who managed the af-
fair, was delighted over the way
things broke during the week, and
said 1t was the most successful con-
test in every way ever held in the
Garden. Mr.. Powers was loud In his
praises of Floyd Mcfarland for the
way Mac" handled the riders. p.
T. said mcfarland was deserving
of great credit for the manner in
which he prevented the forming OF
combinations of any kind.
Il wish you would say for me-" Mr.
Powers declared to me about an hour
before the finish of the race, "that
I am giving MacFarland the lions
share of the credit for the success OF
the most successful six-day race ever
held. Mac simply did wonderful
work and he alone is responsible fol-
the success of the contest from a
racing standpoint. We have our bat.
ties once in awhile" Mr.. Powers
went on to say, but Mac and l are
always good friends in the end"

The fans can rest assured, if the
finish of the race wasn't free from
combinations, and if Goullet and
Root teamed, the facts will surely
come out. Several men would have

persons in the world for keeping
secrets. Fogler is the limit in this
respect. He would just have to tell
about 1t if he knew he was going to
Jail the next minute, and Root is al
most as bad. Fogler likes to blow
about his fixing" methods and as
Root wouldn't for a moment allow
Sir Joseph to have anything on him
why Eddie will always tell you what
part he played in the affair. Yes,
am sure that the whole story will
come out IL there was any teaming,
and, as some say, 1t looked sus,
picious.

The Princeton Club, of this city,
which is very keen for athletics. has
Interested itself in the meet of the
Central High School A. A., to be held
at the First Regiment Armory, jan
uary 81, to such an extent that it
has offered valuable trophy for the
school scoring the most points in the
State championship. The Central
High meet promises to be an excel
lent one, with the Shepherd Meredith
Kiviat match race the big feature.

JACK johnson and his title may soon
be parted. if the French boxing pro-
moters are allowed to have their way.
Unable to get Johnson into a scrap
with any respectable opponent, Mr..
Vienne, boxing director of France, has
proclaimed the Sam Langford- Joe
Jeanette bout a battle for the worlds
championship. IT'S well for Mr..
Vienne to declare Johnson out of the
running, but the public will have
something to do about the matter.
Johnson, 1t is said. would like to make
another fight, but he would like also
to select his opponent. And If John
son doesn't want to fight, that is his
own business. Surely he hasn't been
given much of a show since he de-
feated Jim Jeffries at Reno, vet most
of his trouble was brought about
through his own arrogance.

From Salt Lake City, Utah, comes
a letter of praise and two five-dol-
lar bills. The praises and the money
have to do with a story dealing with
Mr.. and Mrs. Jackie Clark. The
praises we are going to keep, but
the $40 we are going to turn over to
the Red Stocking Club. This is done
because in the letter received this
morning there isn't either the name
or the address of the sender and il
is herewith given word for word just
as written:
