| Have been reading with interest
TOPICS about bicycle riders during the
last few days in your columns, and
am glad to see the stand you have
taken regarding a few bicycle riders.
AS BENJAMIN Franklin says, an empty
bag will not stand up; do not worry
about little people who think they
are big. Who picked the team for
tho Boston six-day race? From the
looks of things 1t looks like our good
friend. Mac. He certainly picked a
popular team in Moran and Cava-
nagh. I was in Boston about week
ago and heard several men discussing
like Moran and Cavanagh and Fogler
and Lawson. so l will take off my
hat to your dope. Regarding race
last Sunday. I will positively state
that Fogler. Cavanagh and Clark
were teaming. How is it that in
shifting for positions Fogler told
Cavapagh to get in, and in about a
mile ride he went ahead of him and
Clark dropped in back of Cavanagh.
What a boob Cavanagh and Fogler
would be to take Clark for lap and
half. Not on your life. How about
a French style match race between
Grenda. Clark. Spears and Cavanagh
for Sunday. October 26? Yours as
ever in sport. and wishing you good
luck. r. c. c.

A bets that the amount tf money
involved in horse racing (when that
sport was in its prince exceeds the
amount of money involved in base
ball at the present time. B disagrees.
Who Is right? B also says that base
ball is faxed (referring to the pres
ent worlds series) using as an argu-
ment that horse racing was just as
great a sport and that was faxed.
What say you, ]. p. N? Thanking
you in advance. x. Y. u.
More money was involved in horse
racing than in baseball. Baseball, In
my opinion, Is on the level, and so are
most sports. A horse race OCCASION
ally looks suspicious, but proven
fakes have been few and far between.

Now, look here, Mawruss, we have
printed no less than a dozen times
already that we know of no one who
will pay anyone any money to walk
