The Boston six-day race has been
called an unluclSy race for years and
1t surely has lived up to that reputa-
ton this year. Paddy Hehir Ia the
second victim who has been forced to
retire with a broken collarbone.
In the spill in which Hehir was dis
abled, the entire field, with the OK
ception of Fogler and Collins, crashed
to the bottom of one of the steep
turns. In escaping this fall the two
fortunate ones came very close to go
ing over the top of the turn, which is
banked about twenty feet.
Lawson will leave for Europe inn
mediately after the race. The race
has put him in such shape he should
meet with success in sprint races
abroad.

Talk of Title Series.

Talk has been going the rounds
that the big basketball teams in this
section. namely the Bay Views, Har-
rison Big Five, Americans of Pater-
son. Crescents of Paterson and Troys
of Hoboken should come together in
series to decide the State title.
Whether such a series could be ar
ranged is very uncertain. Take the
five teams and you can't find one
that can be called a home team. The
Bay View Wheelmen have players on
the Harrison Big Five. The latter has
a player on the Crescents. The Troys
have players on the Americans, etc.

BAY VIEW FIVE IN
FOR HARD BATTLE.
Local WheeImen Hold Fast
KnickerbOcker Quintet as
Worthy Rivals.
OF THE COURTS

Speculation is rife as to the out
come of the basketball game between
the Bay View Wheelmen Seniors and
the Knickerbocker five, of New York,
scheduled at Wheelmen Hall, in
South Sixth street, tomorrow after
noon. Both teams are playing great
ball. and local fans cannot predict
the outcome. The Knieks defeated
the Harrison Big Five recently. and
they are expected to acquit them
selves in fine style. The Heimites
are not over confident, and they ex-
pect a hard battle all the way. A
victory for the Wheelmen over the
New Workers would mean much, and
the result will compare the relative
strengths of the Wheelmen against
the Harrison Big Five. A preliminary
game will precede the main encoup-
ter.
