Velodrome riders is out of order. 1
1T isn't stopped, and soon, too, the at
tendance is bound to suffer, for TIL
high-class patronage of the Velo
drome won't put up with the gabbl,
on the backstretch. There may no
be any way to keep the rowdies out
but there is way to stop them. ,rh,
fans will look to Manager Million tt
see that this is done.
O.
With so many high-class riders, 1t is
only natural that the finishes are very
close. There was one last night that
called for considerable booing and
kissing, but, as usual, the judges were
right. In the championship race,
Kramer and Goullet hooked up in a
fierce battle, with the champion pick
ed as a winner at the tape. At the
announcement there was a demon
stration of disapproval, although how
some of those who were Kissing could
tell who had won is beyond all COM
prehension. However, all have their
favorites and are pulling" for them
to win. When the fit is close and
the "other fellow" is given the YER
dict it is natural that there should be
some displeasure shown.

Donald MacDougall made another
record ride last night when he rode
the -third-mile handicap in 81 1-5
seconds. His best previous ride was
81 2-5 seconds, which also stood as a
worlds record. MacDougall is riding
in grand form, and he is training
faithfully. His efforts show that he
will improve, and he may some day
become a great pro like Kramer. That
would be wonderful boost to
cycling, for, with all the foreigners
butting around after Kramer's title,
for an American boy to come out and
show his superior mettle would at
tract more attention than ever.

Although MacDougall is riding in
record time and his speed for an anna
teur is believed to be phenomenal, 1t
is said that he won't stand a chance
at all when Bill Bailey, the English
comes over here Bailey,
it is said, is almost as good man as
Kramer, and it is declared he can
beat any number of the best pros
when here, said that he
was lucky to defeat Bailey in the
worlds championship race between
the amateur and the professional, and
the Dane said that MacDougall would
not be in it at all. Those who have
seen Bailey race hold him in the same
high regard. Yet it doesn't seem pos
sible that he can so far outclass Mac
Dougall.

The New York Giants and the Phil
adelphia Athletics as worlds series
contenders are about as sure as sure
things can be in baseball. Ban John
son sizes the situation up in that
manner and he is arranging the bust
ness affairs of the American League
in anticipation of such an outcome.
The fact that the Giants and the
Chicago. White Sox are going on a
worlds tour has prompted President
Johnson to hold the annual American
League meeting in October, instead
of December, as usual. He has also
decided to play the first game of the
worlds series on Monday, October 6.
likely at the Polo Grounds. 1t hasn't
been definitely settled yet, but 1t has
been limited that two games will be
played in row in each city. AS an
entertainment for the fans who go to
the ball park early, President john
son announces that band will fur
nish music to help pass the anxious
moments away. With all this data
so early, the fans who contemplate
taking in the series should make their
plans now.
While on the subject of pennant
winners. what's the matter with
Newark? The Tigers practically
oinched the issue by taking both
games from Rochester yesterday.
But there is no big series in store for
the boys who have played such ex-
cellent ball throughout the season,
and who have brought favorable
mention and much attention to the
city they represent. Conditions are
responsible for 1t all. There is 40
club to play that would make such a
series profitable. and the All-Stars
VS.. champions series of two years
ago might have been success If
Charley Chaplin, of Rochester, hadn't
became obstreperous and SPILLED the
beans" Now the only games in
sight are what the Tigers may ar
range with few big league clubs.
