work on the part of Goullet or Gren-
da, but l am not surprised that you
should pick me as the arch con-
spirator, because I noticed last Sun
day that outside of steve" himself
you were the most peeved individual
at the Velodrome. I'm forced again.
Joe, to accuse you of hero-worship-
ing, so much so that you overlook
Goullet's good work.
! 1t is amusing to me to notice the
establishment of the bike fans at
"Goullie's" performance this year,
but if you had watched his riding as
did last year in Salt Lake you would
not have been one bit surprised at his
good work This boy Goullet is go
ing to be the champion one of these
days. and the day is not far distant.
Let me say, though, my hats off to
Kramer the worlds athletic, marvel.

sure gets peeved when he sees me
around on race days and even
Faithful Jack" Neville and his two
big brothers, "Speck' and Joe be-
come irritable.
l want you to say for me once and
for all time, am holding a position
as manager of the Philadelphia Mo
tordrome and will pay close atten-
ton to the box office on Monday and
Thursday nights of each week. Be-
lieve me. Joe, yours

The big intercollegiate athletic
| games are down for decision at the
Harvard Stadium tomorrow and Sat
urday. The interest throughout the
college world is naturally very keen,
for the reason, for one thing. that
the outcome is more in doubt this
year than ever before. OF all the
deductions, the probable winner has
been sifted down as between Cornell,
| Pennsylvania and Dartmouth. Fig
| ures have been produced that would
make either one of these colleges
winner. Cornell, perhaps, has the
| largest following among those Who
have studied the situation. The III
dividual star of the games is also a
matter of much doubt. Some will tell
you that John Paul Jones, of Cor
nell, will carry off the honors, and
others are proclaiming for Lippincott
as a possible hero All the big coz
| leges are entered in the meet, and
the presence of California has added
much interest. The college atmos
phere will be rent tomorrow when
/ the struggle for the championship is
on and there is sure to be tremendous
enthusiasm when the winner has
earned her spurs.

The Hillside Athletic Club, which
conducted a number of most inter
esting boxing shows at Hillside Park
last winter, plans to get in the game
again in a more substantial way than
ever. Not only boxing is to be pro-
NOTED at Hillside Eddie Wood writes
me, but he will stage wrestling bouts
roller skating races and athletic
events of all descriptions. The plans
are many and numerous, according
to Manager Wood. He says that the
club will install fully equipped gym
nasium, with lockers and shower
| baths and all the other necessary
paraphernalia. The first boxing show.
it is announced, will be stlged "a
Tuesday night, June II, wnen Jack

that will follow other bouts between

Thoroughbred racing will come back
for inspection at Belmont Park to-
morrow, and if the attendance is
large and other things move along
smoothly all will be well. Rich men
aplenty are back of the game, but
!, they are not taking any more chances
than the law allows The prospects,
however, are very bright for a grand
; revival of the sport. The "old boys
seem to be itching to "see them rum"
land the younger generation has heard
SO much about the races that there
is sure to be a keen desire on their
part to see what it's all about With
the opening of racing will come a
; new line of thought, new things to
discuss. Horse talk is the most ex-
citing talk and the piker and the
plunger are on equal terms when it
comes to relating incidents of the
racetrack. The cruel blows and the
heart hurts of the little fellow are
human interest tales that always
hold the listener. The wild plunges
and the enormous winnings and
losses of the "big fellow" make inter-
citing stories. We will hear them all
, again, but from different angle
that is If the racing survives.

No one knows better than yours
Truly that the racing game is an
!. impossible game to beat. Therefore
don't go into it to win. If you are
sport, so-ealled, and would like to
spend day andta few dollars at the
! racetrack, all well and good. Even
that is dangerous, for it is truthfully
! said-once a horse player always a
! horse player. 1t is a gay pastime,
r though, and will probably lure you
Q sooner or later. But always remem-
Der it is the sport of kings and for
kings, and if you can't afford to lose
