Aud Nick Goes on Rampage
Jap Beats Indian in Hot Race

whirled around and around in dizzy
circles at a speed of exactly Sc miles
an hour. Mcneil took the lead after
the contest was well started and held
1t, with Richards a handy second, to
the finish
"Oh, Richards was just taking 1t
easy to qualify as the second man in
the fastest heat" said the wise ones.
In the final heat, however, they had
1t out for blood. 1t was at five miles
and they started cautiously. Rich
ards, fearing Mcneil, went out after a
mile with a terrific showing of speed.
1t looked as though the Indian would
run the Jap off its wheels. But then
Mcneil opened up and like a witch
on a broomstick he whirled mystic
riously out into the lead and held it.
At the finish Richards closed with
one of those uncanny bursts of speed
that he always seems able to conjure
cut of his engine for the finish, but
Mcneil let out another notch and
whirled across the chalk line the VIM
ner Of truly great race.
With McNeil's machine in no condi-
ton the Motordrome Purse was easy
for Richards.
The next races will be held Satur-
day night.

faster. They took still another hack
at it Wednesday night before a
smashing big crowd, and it is not de-
cided yet. But Mcneil put another
kink in Richards reputation by win
ming the Woodward Sweepstakes in
stunning style. Then his machine
blew up.
Mcneil has named his craft Aud

In three race meets run thus far it
has not gone through the whole pro-
gram without springing a splint or
developing a Charley boss. But when
ever it has gone right it has devel-

HUNTING HIRSIG
LANDS No CAME
BUT SPINS YARN

NASHVILLE, TENN. June 26.-
IN President William Alibi Hlrsig,
of the Vanishing Vols, returned
from his hunt for ball players
through the wilds of Ohio with his
game bag as fiat as the well-known
pancake, and instead of fielders he
accumulated a stock of highly inter
esting tales of 800 wallpapers and
.999 fielders he would at an early
date dress up in Nashville uniforms.
Author" Hirsig has so rapidly
forged TO the front as a yarn spin
ner that quite a number of the six
best-seller publishers are entreating
him to turn out a batch Of storyettes
about Ball Players l Pretty Near
Landed"
Beautiful Dreams.
Calmly brushing away a tear when
the announcement came that Red
Nelson's physician had warned him
against inhaling the germs that hob
mob around the club houses through
out the South. Hirsig unfolded a
story of grabbing either Almeida or
Dodge from the Reds. The interest
ing story teller held his listeners
spellbound. when he launched into
the Vols chances of securing the
Cuban. Almeida, or the hard hitting
Dodge to decorate the third cushion
for the Schwartzmen, and seeing that
he had the bugs groggy he put them
down for the count when he stated
that Tinker would probably also ship
to Nashville Marty Berghammer. the
former Cub, and "Rube" Groh, who
came from the Giants in the famous
trade for Arthur Fromme.
Holman Cries to Come.
Recovering from this terrible shock,
Hirsig uncorked another on the I'M
suspecting gabfest he held with Ar
thur Holman while in Akron. In
which Circus Solly begged the Vols
president to take him to the Sunny
South, if Kansas City would only re-
lease its claim on the ex-Pirate's
services.

COAST BETTORS
FACE PUZZLE
IN BIC FIGHT

- HICAGO, ILL. June 26.-They
never seem TO have any luck
at all in picking winners OF
the lightweight championship bouts
out on the Pacific Coast. and It viii be
interesting to note which Of them
in the San Francisco battle Of July
they single out for favOritism. AS
a matter Of fact they haven't picked
the right man for favorite In many q
long month out there and in consc-
quence the short ends have won with
startling regularity. Yet the coas;
fans. seeing as they do. must be
set down as the poorest judges I'm
the world-or is il all accountable
for on the ground of native son pride
and civic patriotism? A native son
is a real favorite at all times out
there If II can be figured that he has
as good as a fighting chance.
I NAsMUCH as both Jose Rivers
and Willie Richie may be tabled
up as real native sons, it looks as
If both of them win be made favor
ties That paradoxical statement may
need a little explanation, and here 1t
IS They will make Rivers the favor
ton of the State. where he is so
highly regarded And IN San Fran
cisco. where Willie comes from, they
win make him the choice. Hence
we may see the spectacle Of Frisco
people doing their betting in Los
Angeles. where they can get better
price and the people from the south
ern part Of the State doing their
wagering at the scene of the battle.
It should result in a funny mixup.
a S a sample Of the strange way
= they have Of picking out prob
able winners it may be recalled that
when AID Wolgast battled Lew Pow
Ell In 81 20-round match in San Fran
cisco they made Powell such a strong
choice that the Wolgast adherents
got as good as ID to for their
coin-and won it all the way. Like
wise when Wolgast won the title
from Bat Nelson--the coast fans sim
ply could not see Ad at all. SO IL
has been in many another Of the
big battles there. Always the wrong
man picked as choice and always
the short end winning.
~ HATEvER disadvantage Rivers
w may be found TO have in this
encounter one OF the points against
him viii be the fact that he will be
an alien and scrapping on the other
fellows own canvas. This may not
look to be much of a disadvantage
when II is considered that Rivers is
as much of a native son as is Richie.
But Rivers isn't from San Francisco,
while Richie is, and the cheers of
the crowd, or the greater portion OF
these. win be for Richie, which may
be decidedly disconcerting for Rivers,
who Is used to monopolizing such
cheers himself, having fought a vast
majority Of his contests in his own
ring at Los Angeles.
THE question Of Rivers gameness
doubtless will be given the an
swer In this battle II will be a
crucial test for the little Mexican be-
cause he hasn't met quite such a
rapid fire jabber as the Richie boy
is liable to be in this match And
jabs are points that viii be scream
ingly cheered by the friends OF
Richie, and Joe win find that he will
have to do some mighty whaling to
even up any sort OF count II
looks TO me as II Rivers Is a game
kid and will give While a tremendous
battle
