other things I would like to have
done, but 1t is too late now" Mac

Mr.. Uppercu said this morning that
Keefe and Kopsky, who made such
great impression in the Boston
race, will ride In the New York
grind. Mr.. Powers has not been In
favor of this team at all, although,
it is believed, the boys will make a
hit.
They call them the boob team, /
think" Mr. Uppercu said inquiringly.
"Or is 1t the pest team?'" he asked
of mcfarland.
They will make the race lively,
and that's what we want" was Mac
Farlands only reply.

A bike fan in discussing the New
York six-day race has word to say
why Joe Fogler should be the part
ner of ALI Goullet in the coming
grind. Perhaps this classy pair will
be together, but Goullet seems
anxious to have it otherwise. How
ever, 1t Is doubtful II the team of
Moran and Grenda will be broken up
to allow Grenda to team with Goullet.
The Goullet-Fogler team is very like
ly and the letter bringing up the sub
ject follows:
J. P. N:
| We see that Powers is to give the
public two eventful nights before the
opening of the big New York six-day
race New York ought to be able to
support the meets and relish them
like a cocktail before a hearty meal.
Am sure 1t could II she had few
! Newarkers to feed from. Why al
ready our fellow correspondent, rs.
o. Co." Is picking out his leg" and
the bird Is only half cooked. The
teams are not as yet completed and
no doubt we will see several changes
before the combinations are finally
settled upon, SO it's hardly worth our
while picking a group for the final
| sprint. Now, there Is Alfred Goullet,
the kind-faced old COW; he started
out on the walk with his little brother
Fogler, and now he seems to think he
will have to let go of his hand to
win. Perhaps he did not like Joe's
riding in the Boston race, but If Fog

| ly ought to know of 1t, as he was
with him long enough each day. Even
Joe, riding under these conditions,
was there when required. 1 think If
you look up the records of both rid
ers you will see Fogler's name includ-
| ed In more of the Leading teams of
| the New York six-day races than
Goullet's. If Goullet wants to win
the coming race so badly why not
let him keep Fogler to help him re-
main on even terms during the week
and do the final mile sprint himself
for first place. JUNKS.
The two-night meet may be aban-
doned and 1t should never have been
arranged The experience of last year
ought to be sufficient and convincing,
and furthermore, the fact that Wal
ter Rutt will not come over to this
| country to ride should about settle
the matter. Mr. Powers is going
along with the details for the two
meets, but the probabilities are that
he will be told to confine the sprint
| ing program to meet on Saturday
night.

A kindly sentiment is contained in
the following letter anent the sor-
rows of Frank Kramer, the Ameri-

a few times too partial and in favor
of the American champion, but the
personality OF Gentleman Frank,

we read in his eyes, always for the
country and my family" We are
sure to interpret the sentiments OF
all readers of Sport Topics" in unit
