TINE question whether Jock Nc
Nell. the Scotch rider. or Will
mer Richards, the Texan, has
the latest motorcycle in Dixie will be
settled Tuesday night on the shelly
ing sides of the new Prince Motor
drome, which will be thrown open
for night racing at that time.
Mcneil rides a ]. A. P. motor. The
engine was made in England and i'm
ported by the little Scotchman. He
built up the rest of the motorcycle
himself from parts picked up in this
country. Richards has the famous
'23" Indian, a racing machine Of
known speed, long record and bloody
career. a machine that has been KILL
ing its man and breaking its record
for several years past.
In Saturdays sport at the Motor
drome Mcneil and Richards met but
once That was in a five-mile final
of the Speedway Sweepstakes. And
Mcneil won. But It was not cOnclu-
sive. Richards, one of the wisest
riders on the globe, was laying right
behind the pack up to the finish,
When he let out. he was showing
more speed than any of them. But
he did not let out in time. Mcneil
did a little letting out himself and
held his advantage across the tape.
They should have fought 1t out in
the Motordrome Purse, but the gasO-
line tank on the Scots machine
sprang a seam and could not be re-
paired in time for any further racing.
Richards won the next race handily.
Oh, You Race Question!
rxr4l1 IN
ular event Tuesday night, and the
question of supremacy of Texan OF
Scot, Of Jap or Indian land that's
some race question for you'd, will be
settled.
II might happen, of course, that
neither man would win race, even II
they settled their argument. There
are several riders yet to be heard
from.
For instance. Harry Swartz is due
TO show something Tuesday night.
Swartz was handicapped Saturday
nv the fact that he had to mt new
wheels on his machine at the last
minute. His Excelsior has been USED
for road racing and was htted with
road rims and road tires. These were
changed at the last minute. but
Swartz had no chance to get his
machine right. He will have 1t tuned
up right by Tuesday night and as his
machine is fast and as there is no
better rider in America than Harry,
he is likely to be heard from, LOUD.
NJ Graves, Of Los Angeles, Is an
other who did not come into his own
nm SATURDAY.. He is one of the really
great riders in the country, but some
how he could not seem to get the
greatest possible speed out of his In
dian.
Henry Lewis, the Jinx Kid, can be
counted on for more than he showed
Saturday. His machine caught fire
lust before the meet and motorcycle
and riders were put on the blink to
such an extent that neither did much
in the races They will be heard from
Tuesday night.
Glenn and ReneI to Meet.
One of the feature events Tuesday
will he a match race between Harry
Glenn. Of Atlanta, and Georges Renel.
of Paris. On Saturday. in the match
race. they finished so close together
that the judges declared 1t a dead
heat. though. of course, each man
claimed that he won. Considerable
feeling was stirred up over the thing
and they will ride it over for a purse
on Tuesday. Renel has been riding
the boards for years and naturally
should have a tremendous advantage
over the Albanian, who rode his first
Motordrome race Saturday. 1t hap
pens, however that Renel can not get
his machine going as it should and
has not yet been able to develop a
speed that will put him at the top Of
the heap. He believes, however. that
even before he gets his engine right
he can trim Harry Glenn, and as the
Albanian holds opposite views they
will have it out Tuesday night.
The meet Tuesday night will start
at $50. Tickets are already on sale
at Tumlin's and Shepherds stands.
