his suspension lifted, and MacFar-
land, his old friend, who requested
Chairman Kelsey to make the penalty
severe, is said to be ''softening up"
Mac is in Buffalo at present, but
the wires were resorted to, and it is
believed that Mac will withdraw
his objection and that Lawson will
be allowed to ride with 800 and a
months suspension as the penalty for
his crime.
Frank Million is on hunting trip.
He will be gone for three or four
days. The Boston six-day, it seems,
was too much of task for every
body. Il de B. Newman, who never
misses day, is indisposed, and Nat
Butler and Alex Mclean, even though
big winners, couldn't stand the strain,
and are nursing themselves back to
fea1th.
g
1t is too had p. Powers didn't take
a run UP to Boston to see how an on
the-level race is conducted. Mae
Farland was the master at the Hub,
and no one got away with anything.
1t is said that Joe Fogler formed two
| combinations, but that Mcfarland
got wise and broke them up. Before
the finish of the race "Mac' called
Fogler and Jimmy Moran into a
room and laid the law down to them.
TT is this way" MacFarland said
to them; "if you fellows do any team
ing In the final mile, neither one of
you will ride In the Paris slx-day
race
Both men agreed, although Fogler,
1t lis declared, wanted Frank Cava-
nagh to pull him after Lawson had
been disqualified and Joe was in to
do the finishing. Cavanagh nodded to
Moran, his partner, but Jimmy, re-
calling what Mcfarland had said to
him, warned Cavanagh not to team
with Fogler. Thus the last straw was
broken.
While e. Root and j. Clark are
said to have promised P. Powers that
they will shun all combinations in
the New York six-day race and have
also asked him to protect them
against the other bad boys in the
cycling game, Root and his partner,
Mcnamara, it is asserted, were in q
combination with Fogler and Law
son at Boston. But that's nothing.
Fogler and Root, who have been
mortal enemies and in a family feud
for some time, are going to become
partners in home-trainer act. They
have two-weeks' engagement at
Boston and expect to get more time.
The almighty dollar, it seems, is
still the greatest friend maker in the
world
C
Larry Sutton. the Brooklyn scout,
writes that the magnates used the
t"sign language" out in Columbus,
where the minor league baseball
meeting was held.

1t is said that Newark is going to
get several new players. When Char
lev Ebbets returns from Columbus he
will have a conference with Manager
Harry Smith. who will be given his
pick of a number of players. The
season following a pennant winner is
sometimes a very tough one on the
manager. If things do not go right,
there is always a big howl from the
fans. and the howl is sure to be par
| ticularlv loud in the case of New
ark because of the feeling stirred up
by local newspaper against Mr.. Eb-
bets for taking Aitchison, McCarty
and Collins away from the Tigers,
when he had perfect right to do so.
