that he was not prepared for such

wire McCarey last night insisting on
postponement until Labor Day
Coulon had given McCarey his word.

Tom, but allowed a champion should
take no foolish chances and that he
would not fight Challenger Williams

MY right hand is bad and I am
low in weight because Of the hot
weather we have been having. This
is the first summer | ever tried to
box, anyway, and l guess it is a mis-
take. When my father was alive he
never permitted me to fight in the
summer time. He argued that l was
such a little fellow, always giving
away weight, that training in the
hot months would get me down too
low. That was the trouble the other
night at Kenosha. I guess the dad
was right, and l will never again

Il am sorry for Williams. because
the postponement will be hard on
him. He already is on the scene, so
Labor Day will make long wait for
him. However he might take on
Eddie Campi again on our original
date, July 29. the winner to get me

RIDERS WILL
SCRAMBLEFOR
COIN TONIGHT

WITH the Kind permission OF
M old Man Weather. and with
the enthusiastic cooperation
Of the greatest string Of riders ever
gathered for a race meeting in Dixie
they're of tonight at the Motor
drome for the fourth race meet Of
the local season-and # looks the
best in the bunch.
There's more pep and enthusi-
asm out at Riders Row to-day, than
there has been since the meeting be-
gan. Up to this meet the riders
have known that, mounted as they
are now, Jock Mcneil and Wilmer
Richards were fast enough to take
all the races. Tho rest got chance
only in the specials.
Now Mcneil and Richards have
been yanked out and put in a class
by themselves. These two meet to-
night in three match races at three
miles each. This will settle the most
momentous speed question OF the sea
son But they viii have IL all TO
themselves
It's a Mighty Close Thing.
With the two fastest machines out
Of Il the rest OF the riders will scram-
BILE viciously for the Sweepstakes and
the MOtordrome Purse. 1t could not
be any more even. OF the eight
riders who will take part there isn't
over a fraction of a second TO the
mile difference In the machines or the
riders They are calculated to race,
nose and nose. every inch of the diff
ference. with the advantage slightly
favoring Harry Glenn, because he
has the longest nose.
Another Improvement in the card
comes from the fact that there will
be four starters in each heat of the
two regular races. In past meets
two OF the heats have had but three
starters. And IL really takes four
to make the racing good. Tonight
both the preliminary leafs and the
finals will have four starters.
II will not be surprising to see
some remarkable marks made to-
night The track has been proved
so safe that every man is willing 10
let out to the limit. Thus far there
hasn't been a man even scratched
Accidents Looked For.
To the old timers the absence OF
accidents is growing monotonous
Not one Of them ever heard OF three
meets on a new track without at least
one bad spill. They looked for them
Wednesday night, and II really

ing happened
II Is a marvellous thing, consider
ing the scores OF men who have been
killed on board tracks and consider
ing the fine possibilities OF a spill
at SIS miles an hour or better, that
none OF the riders fear an accident.
They try to be moderately careful.
But to expect sudden death-well It
never occurs to them and they are
the only men at tho track who don't
think OF IL when they come to close
quarters at high speed
With a safe track and machines
getting better all the time there is
no reason why a fast mark or two
should not be set tonight
The races win start tonight at
Sis. Cars will leave Five Points at
short intervals Tickets are on sale
at Tumlin's and Shepherds. All are
provided with rain checks. These
checks are good II rain interferes
before the program is completed.
