as a collaboration in this disaster was
made to feel a sudden atmospheric
frigidity and was led into further sor-
rowful reflections on the tickleness OF
the public. Murchell in very ungra-
cious fashion kept himself secluded
from his neighbOrs and the stream of
pilgrims that knocked at his gates.
Their plants were divers. Sherrod
was too arbitrary, he was too lax, he
permitted himself and his friends to
shake the plum trees Of the cities so

RICHARDS WINS

RACES FRIDAY

Of Wilmer Richards, aided and abet-
ted by his Indian motorcycle, No. %,
by any scheme of importing machines
or teaming up against him, the At
lanta Motordrome VIII try staging
longer races.
On Friday night the feature race
will be the Cracker Sweepstakes,
named in honor of the local ball club.
The exact conditions Of this event
have not been decided upon, but the
final heat will be the longest ever run
on the local track.
The Idea Of lengthening out the
race is to give the endurance riders a
chance. 1t is apparent that in the
sprints only Mcneil and Graves have
a chance with Richards. Tuesday
night Mcneil lost a ker- plunker out
of the fiip-hop thatd iasticates his
Slmms magnetic and couldn't ride his
jap, while Graves new motor devel-
oped the asthma, complicated with a
catarrhal cough, and it wouldn't run
either. So It was all Richards, and
he romped in the Sweepstakes and
the Purse, though they managed TO
keep him pocketed in both events long
enough to produce some thrilling
stun.
Friday night Richards viii find that
sprinting ability is at a discount and
endurance the thing. He will find the

The riding in the Sweepstakes finals
Tuesday night, up to the last couple
Of laps, was the most sensational that
has been seen. For lap after lap the
four riders swept around the track at
terrific speed, with hardly half-inch
separating them. One swerve car
ried George LlOCkner up on the per-
pendicular boards, where he rode for
an eighth of a lap, getting down again
all right and staying in the chase,
despite that terrifying experience.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 9.-You'd
naturally think that with all
of the battling that the merry
old lightweight class did on the big
holiday the air would be bit cleared
and that most Of the arguments that
made these battles possible would
be wiped off the slate. Most Of them
are, but we are Immediately present
ed with some new ones and they
are Just az biting and as full Of pos
sibilities as were all the discussions
[ o the July battles. Just duck
" head into a bunch of fight fans
when they are tanning and ask the
simple question:; who's left now
for Willie Richie to fight?" and you
can get about as fine an argument as
you ever expected in this life. It's
worth trying, anyway, especially If
you haven't any other use for your
time.
CHICAGO fight fans never will get
over the idea that two young
men of this town by the lake haven't
a grand chance with the Californian
whose classic brow is now adorned
with the mythical crown. Until
Richie whips either Jack Britton or
Packey Mcfarland, either or both,
there always will be arguments here
that he isn't really the greatest of
them all at 1897 is II 1874 pounds
now?-and that Chicago never was
treated fairly by the opponents for
the champ. At least that's the way
the local followers of the game, stanch
to a man to either the North slider or
the man from Garfield Boulevard are
arguing.
RRITTON disposed of Charley
- Whites pretensions for the time
being at least. The decision went
against White, and though 1t might
not have been a good one, as the
astute Nate Lewis says, it is a de-
cision nevertheless and already is
in the record books for all time. Brit
ton has a host of friends around
town who believe he is really the
greatest of them all at 1873 pounds,
and even the recollection of the shade
that Packey Mcfarland got over him
in ten rounds in New York doesn't
chill their enthusiasm. There always
is the weight alibi for them on that
affair.
