tie. When the boys will meet is not
known but Manager Billy Gibson
saws it will be as near to the tenth as
possible. Cross is glad of the post
ponement. and Ritchie doesn't seem
to care. So why should we worry?

/ 1t has been decided that three for
eign teams will compete in the New
York slx-day race, and, thanks to
Floyd mcfarland, three excellent
teams have been secured. Rutt and
Stol, of course, is the best of these
teams, and the Germans may prove
to be the best team in the race. An
other team that is likely to make its
presence felt has Perchicot and
Breton for partners. Breton has
been in the race before and he has
been a "lSiller" at pacing. Perchicot
rode last year and he rode very well.
Brocco is now in the race. He did q
lot of dickering, said he would not
ride at first. but finally decided he
would ride His partner will be verri,
of whom he didn't have much regard.
Brocco. however, is likely to find
Verri a very good man.

1t isn't likely that Frank Cavanagh
will ride in the Boston six-day race,
SO the Irish team of Moran and Cava-
nagh may not be a reality. Boston
is an Irish town. and the Irish
team" was played off the boards.
Now that Cavanagh has been injured
and unable to ride, the race in
financial way is sure to suffer. The
teams for the Boston grind are as
follows: Alfred Grenda and Paddy
Hehir, Joe Fogler and liver Lawson,
Willie Coburn and Clarence Carmen,
Eddie Root, and Reggie Mcnamara,
Elmer Collins and Fred Hill. Jake
Magin and Percy Lawrence, Robert
ran and Frank Cavanagh, Martin
Ryan and George Cameron, Joe
Kopsky and Fred Keefe.

The anti-cycling organ has COM
planned to p. T. Powers that it isn't
getting an even break in cycling
news, and asks Mr.. Powers to give
Mr.. Mcfarland a whipping for Civ
ing all the cycling news to the Eve
ming Star. What Mr.. Powers is going
to do about it we do not know, but we
do know that Mr.. MacFarland is a
bigger man in cycling than Mr.
Powers, notwithstanding that "P. T."
is to manage the New York siX-day
race. As a former Outlaw" Powers,
it Is presumed, would naturally favor
booster Of the OUTLAWS" but
up. T." is in different company now,
and he will have to conduct him
self accordingly. While in baseball
Powers was more or less in hot
water because he would generally
ignore his friends. and toady to his
enemies. Now, in cycling, it looks as
if he was about to play the same kind
of a game. If he does he will be
beaten, just as he was beaten in base
ball. The Star will continue to give
its readers all the best there is in
sports-and give it first. Mr..
Powers may want to "string along"
with the anti-cycling organ, in the
hope that he will round it up" but
in doing so he will be playing to the
''bush league" as against the big
show"

Some of the local newspaper men
are "peeved" because they were not
invited to the banquet given by
Messrs Million and Uppercu last Sat-
urday night. A year ago the ban
quet was an open affair, but after
ward some of the scribes made capt.
| tai of what was said in the speeches,
SO this year the dinner was confined
exclusively to the Velodrome officials.
| At the Gradwell- Victor fight last
night one of the OUTLAW" boosters
was crying because he wasn't invited
to the banquet and he was also roast
ing Messrs. Million and MacFarland
on general principles. What he will
say today in his paper is easy to sur
mise, and it is said that he will say
that Victor was entitled to draw
with Gradwell.
