sure thing methods were in vogue
Figuring that there would be a sixth
game In the Quaker City, the scalpers
got busy. They paid So for SO tickets
and 81 for the S. tickets. When the
word came over the wires Saturday
that the Athletics had won the game
and the championship, there was a
terrible stew on in Philadelphia. The
scalpers were stuck. But they are
brainy lot and Immediately they had
q way planned to get even. When
the fans came down to Gimble's to
cash in for their extra ticket. they
were met by the scalpers, who offered
to buy their SO tickets for $3.50 and
their So tickets for $500. In that way,
the scalpers felt, they would get some
of their good money back. The
Quakers, however, are not taking
kindly to the scheme. and the scalpers
are not in for a harvest. Hurrahl
| Although Bill Bailey and Donald
McDougall did their level best in every
three match races, the boys are very
good friends "off the Wheel" Along
with Harold Dibblee, who Is sort of a
/! paternal manager for McDougall, and
Paul Pilgrim, the captain Of athletes
for the New York A. c., Bailey and
McDougall were guests at dinner in
the city clubhouse of the New York
organization last night. The boys were
royalty entertained by Mr.. Pilgrim
and they were around today singing
their praises OF the affair.
O.
Jimmy Moran is a happy boy now.
For a time he was worrying some-
what. The reason for his jubilation is
contained in the announcement that
James Francis has secured Alfred
Grenda as a partner in the New York
six-day races.
Peaches and cream" said Moran
after he had signed his name to the
contract. Big Grenda and James
Francis will keep the monkeys we'll
stirred up and we will make 1t in
teresting for some of the so-called
stars in the race. You can just watch
u.s." is Moran's warning, "and We'll
show you a six-day race"
Moran is particularly sore on Jackie
Clark, and he will not give Clark
much rest during the race. he says.
Otherwise, James is at peace with
himself. and expects to have big
time over in the Garden during the
grind.
G
Moran is duly grateful to Floyd
MacF'arland in having secured
Grerfda as a teammate, and he has
promised Mac that he will make
the race fast In return for his kind
ness. We all know what Jimmy can
| do, and we have all heard what he
can do, but this is one time we feel
that Moran is going to produce the
goods. His one aim will be to ride
| Clark's ankles hot, in which event
Jackie will not have to ''lay down"
to anybody or be "double-crossed" by
anybody at the finish. But II he is
in at the finish. it is to be hoped that
Clark will make a good honest try.
@
One thing that can be said of Clark,
he has Million, Uppercu and MacFar-
land afraid of him. He is telling
stories of how the promoters are
abusing him and the promoters dare
not take him to task for fear Jackie
will get sore and quit riding. He
isn't going to try in certain races
and he didn't try In the team race
last Sunday, yet Million and Uppercu
and MacFarland stood around suck
ing their thumbs and let him get
away with 1t. If for no other reason
than to give the fans who have ap-
plauded him and favored him and
stuck to him all season q run for
their money. Clark should do his best,
but he has become so important over a
few victories that the town is not big
enough for him. A change would do
good. When bicycle rider becomes
so big that he feels as II he doesn't
have to try in his races, why the fans
will soon get wise to that bird.
O.
Clark had a try in the five-mile race
Sunday, however, and he had lot
of help, too. He was teaming with
Cavanagh and Fogler, both of whom
were punished, but not Clark. This
is more evidence that Jackie is a
much-abused boy at the velodrome.
Well, Clark and Cavanagh and Fog
Ter worked together in the race and
they split the $50 purse afterward.
Cavanagh put up an awful hoiler to
Ross and declared he wasn't in with
soul" He pleaded 30 that Ross
finally said to him:
"Cavanagh, IL do not find out for
sure in two days that you were in
combination. TIL give you back the
money took from you today"
Before Cavanagh had time to say
THANK you, Arthur" Fogler came
into the office with a broad smile on
his face. He went over to Ross, with
his hand extended, and said, at the
same time shaking the referees hand
J cordially:
Arthur, you caught US this time.
Yes, we were teaming. Clark, Cava-
nagh and myself were together. You
are getting good. boy; you caught me
