sport isn't big enough to control thu
men who are in it, then it is poo
sport indeed.
O.
Something is needed to stir up the
cycling game. There is a lack OF
action. lack of fight. When Floyd
Mcfarland was around he could ar
ways get somebody's goat" and
there were enough ''peeved" riders
at the track to create topics for
stories and discussions. Now, affairs
are very much funereal. The a1luring
smile of Willie Bolles, T. s., is
about the only evidence of human
existence at the Velodrome. Willie
is really pleasant, which must be
pleasure to those who are not
looking for sadness. MacFarland
was around for a short time during
the races last night and he pulled off
some real funny things. Mac" is
doing so well down in Philadelphia
that he has reason to feel happy.
There are also big smiles along the
circuit, especially at Boston, and
even New Haven is said to be fine.
The popularity of cycling is still in
evidence in Newark.
@
The effort to conduct motorcycle
races and motor-paced races at the
Stadium Motordrome, it is believed
by not a few wise heads. will be sue
cessful. To attempt to run the race:
even as a test required considerable,
nerve and some money was needed t.
back it up. AS matters stand, the
situation looks very favorable for {
revival of the sport in this city. TIL,
spectators who turned out to see tn,
races Tuesday are evidently anxious
for their return, for the applaus,
that greeted the motors on the tract
was little short of tremendous.
C
The promised return to this coun
try of the great race horses, Colir
and Peter Pan, is another indication
that the future outlook for thorough
bred racing in the United States il
very much on the bright side. wher
these famous runners were shipped t,
Europe for breeding purposes by tn,
late James r. Keene America wep
at the big loss TO the American turf
Colin has never been beaten, anC
Peter Pan was a consistent winner
The fact that both horses are to b,
brought back here and sold at auction
is evidence that a big price is ex
pected for them. England has tn,
get of Colin and France has off
springs from Peter Pan.
