the team" But no; after one day of
panning poor MAC" was dropped,
and his name hasn't appeared since.
1t makes mcfarland sore to think
that he is being ignored, for he
doesn't care what is said about him
as long as his name is kept before
the public. Publicity is his stock in
trade, and the more the merrier, good
or bad.
Percy Woodruff isn't at all alarmed
over the prospects Of losing Charles
Welnert, the fighter. Percy is philo-
sophical, if nothing else, and he says
he isn't worrying over the kid break
ing away from him. True, some of
those EVOLVES" over in New York
would like to secure Weinert as an
asset to their stable, but the boy
seems to have sufficient sense to
know when he is we'll off. That Wei
merit clearly outpointed Levinsky there
isn't a. semblance of doubt. Harry
said that in his opinion Weinert had
bested Levinsky And, incidentally,
Konweiser and John O'Rourke were
hobnobbing last night, which might
mean that something in the fight-club
line was in the wind. Be that az it
may. O'Rourke will probably not
want Weinert to work for him, as
Johns opinion of that particular
fighter is not very high.
C
While Weinert is being praised on
all sides, Levinsky is not getting even
tumble. The Battler is to fight
Jim Flynn tonight, and it wouldn't
surprise me in the least if Flynn
were to take q "Brodie." On what
Flynn has shown, and on what Lee
whisky has shown, Jim ought to be a
to 1 shot, but the man who would
bet cent on it would be the biggest
'chump'' in the world.

throughout the country are sending
letters and kilograms to Manager

Picking the Winner of a Sh-day Race
Is No Easy Task, but Goullet and
Fosler Look to Be Best Team.

| have sprinter who will he able to
show the most speed at the finish.
All of the four teams mentioned have
capable sprinters. In my opinion, the
best team in the race, figured from
every angle, is the Goullet- Fogler
pair, and that is the combination that
am going to select. Goullet, If it
comes down to the finish, looks like
a very likely winner. He is a strong
rider, and he can always protect
himself, a thing that is lacking in
other riders who have lots OF speed.
@
With Gonllet and Fogler as my
choice, how I figure the others will
finish may be matter of interest.
Well, the task is not very easy one,
and If my selection wins, I'll be en-
tirely satisfied. OF course, If another
team wins, 1 will not be displeased
and will freely confess that I am
wrong again. But, barring accidents,
and with no particular hard luck to
contend with, the fans will find next
Saturday night that Goullet will be a
strong favorite. He has the speed and
he knows how to use it and he is par
ticularly good at the finish of six-day
races. Others, of course, will have
their favorites, but Goullet and Fogler
for mine.
The favorite team in the race at this
writing Is the Clark Hehir combina-
ton. Jackie has host Of admirers
and they are banking on him to win.
He displayed rare speed during the
latter part of the past season and he
won some great races. Thus, natur-
ally, he should be held in high favor.
He will have large following and he
has a good partner. AS far as l can
figure, though, Goullet, at least, will
beat him in the finish, providing they
are tied. The Clark-Hehir team for
second is the dope.
C
Not few will tell you that Grenda
and Moran will win the race, and
I0dL olQ dIcuud, DIS lhOJ S1ll INV
Tall Tasmanian," will beat both
Goullet and Clark. Maybe so, and
I, for one, wouldn't be SO terribly
surprised, for they tell me that up
in Boston Alfred was one tremendous
"bear-cat." Be that as 1t may,
Grenda for third is the best that I
can do for the Moran-Grenda aggre-
cation.
Root and Mcnamara should prove
to be good team. Root, as fin
Usher, is known to be a hard man to
beat after hard weeks work. He
is tricky and foxey, but he Is great
six-day rider. Still, with all his
ability and all his victories, he isn't
popular at ALL He should be fourth
at the finish.
That's the way / size up the stu
alton from this distance. AS the race
goes on conditions may change, and
my selections may be out of it. But
I am simply giving my readers what
in my opinion are the best teams in
the race, and your own Judgment
may even be better than mine.

The six-day racel The six-day
race! The fans are fairly singing it.
Newark was never before in such q
furore over the New York grind as
it is this year. The fans have read
so much about it and talked SO much
about it that they are positively per-
meated with the sport. Who'll win
and how'll they win and what'll be
doing all week are topics of discus
sion everywhere. Newark, as is well
known, is the greatest bicycle city in
the country, but Newark. it may not
be known, about supports the New
York race and makes that yearly
grind the success it invariably is. As
to this years race, the expectations
are that it will be bigger and better
than ever. For one thing, 1t will be
the squarest race ever run in the
Garden. This will be made possible
through the efforts of Floyd MacFar
land, who is to manage the race and
the riders. Mac" who, in his day,
was the champion teamster in the
game, will see to 1t that every man
is on his own and at the first
semblance of combination there
will be a terrible stew on. Mac
Farland, with his vast experience,
will be a hard man to fool. Thus 1t
is almost certain that the best team
will win and the best man will win.
MAC" has promised that and / am
sure he will make good.
G
So, with the race on the level, from
first to last, all one will have to do
is to look the field of seventeen teams
over and pick out the best team in
the race. That is all one has to do,
but to do it and be right is the
thing. Surely no one can say with
any truth that one particular team
sticks out as the winner at this
stage of the proceeding. No. and
you can select four teams and you
may not get the winner. On the
face of it, the contest, with no COM
binations, should be whale" In
II etiO SulOfCu anu pdtIcu up men
who appear to be very well matched.
If a real bookmaker were to lay
odds on the outcome, he would give
you your pick and bet you at least
to 1 you couldn't name the winner
He would not be taking much of a
chance at that, for the prospects of
any particular rider finishing the
race is big-price gamble. An acct
dent to one member of a team may
put the partner out of 1t and If he
doubles up with some one else they
will have to accept the penalty of
being placed lap behind.
@
In regard TO picking the winner,
there are four teams in, the race
which have a royal chance to carry
the day. Reference is made to Goul-
let and Fogler. Clark and Hehir,
Moran and Grenda and Root and
Mcnamara. Every one of these
teams figure to be sufficiently strong
as pluggers as well as sprinters. But
in selecting a winner, 1t must be
figured that the team to win must
go through the hard grind and then

the governor had assured them he

In addition to the election of a
president the magnates will consider
several other important matters be-
hind closed doors.
The seventeen demands of the base

President-elect Tener in the chair.
Each demand will be voted on. The

come before the supreme court of

The American League has already
empowered President Ban johnson to
act, while the minor leagues will also
send q representative to the Cincin-
natl conference.
In passing on each of the frater-
nity's demands the National League
magnates will be the first to discuss
officially the status of the players.
Another matter to be considered by
the National League men is the new
drafting system originated by Pres

which was suggested by him at Gin

The Ebbets plan does away with

winners, already strongly equipped,
would be compelled to take what was
left after the other fourteen clubs had
