was q time when each team had ar
individual camp. In the last few
years two or as high as 1--WE teams
have doubled up. going into one camp
in order to reduce the expense. In
this way fewer cooks are used and
less handlers are necessary. 1t has
worked fairly well, but there Is still
room for improvement,
O.
The first real effort to minimize the
commissary expense in connection
with a continuous race Will be tried
In the Chicago race, which is sched-
uied for late in January. Manager
| Floyd Mcfarland, of the Cycle Rae
ing Association. has formulated a
plan to provide just one kitchen for
the riders, and this will be conducted
by tho management. There will be
when the riders are coming of the
track they can order their food in ad-
vance and get anything they want;
10 be served in their cabins or in the
one dining-room which will be pro-
| vided. They will be charged for just
what they eat, and In this way they
will not have Co pay for any waste,
such as there Is IN the individual
camps. 1t looks like very good idea
but whether or not it will be success
full will not be known until it has
been tried.
There may be q lot of trouble in
the cooperative kitchen, az MacFar-
land has dubbed his idea. Six-day
riders are very fussy and they are
hard to please and it is not hard to
imagine innumerable kicks about the
food in a big kitchen where close to
200 sleepy and tired individuals are
eating together. The riders become
nervous and then peevish, and they
find fault at the smallest provoca-
ton. During the recent New York
race Jimmy Moran ordered a steak
one morning and raised an awful
howl because there was a vein rum
ming through it. He refused to eat
1t. so another steak was cooked for
him. A little later Joe Fogler came
in and they handed him tho steak
that Moran had refused. Again the
steak was turned down. The much
spurned hunk Of beef was put back
in the steamer to keep warm, and a
couple of hours later, when Reggie
Mcnamara came in, the steak was
served to him. Reggie ate 1t. Jack
Neville asked the Australian star how
he liked his steak. THE best steak I
ever ate in my life," was McNamara'e
reply. That Just goes to show how
hard It is to please some riders and
how easily others are satisfied. A
'veiney steak" will have big and
long play In Netherlands co-opera-
tive kitchen in Chicago

ette against Dickinson on Thanksgiv-
ing Day. Kicked eight goals from
touchdown out OF eight chances. In
discussing the game, which was easily
won by Lafayette, the Philadelphia
Ledger says: ''Maxfield was tower
of strength at all times and played a
wonderful game" Haxf1eld is a

athlete.
II Is all off. By that is meant Jim
Savage and Charley weinert are not
going to fight around here, for while
at least That's good. Represent
atives of Savage. weinert and the
Olympic A. c. met yesterday after
noon and agreed to disagree. One, 1t
In said, would not trust the other, and
they finally got wise to themselves
and called of the negotiations. Il.
Wood, one of the conductors of the
olympic Club, offered tho "hitters"
IS per cent OF the gross receipts to
pose for ten rounds, expecting the
public to turn out in large numbers
and pay for the graceful antics of the
celebrities. His proposition still goes,
but It is the general opinion that the
men will never meet. Wood, by the
way, would have the men gamble for
the purse. He would have a winner
and O. loser and a knockout, too. A
mean thing is this man Wood to en-
courage such brutality between two
of the foremost citizens of this COM
monwealth. Shame-and more's the
shame! He would have the men
battle for the So per cent, the winner
to receive So and the loser 20, the de-
cision to go in the event OF knock
out only, but II both men were or
their feet at the end of the rounds the
purse TO be divided fifty-ffty. The
proposition was turned down.
o.
weinert seems to be getting just a
| little sense. In conversation at thc
Evening Star office yesterday. he SAID
that he thought IL would be all fol
the best If he and Savage didn't
fight. He declared that the public
was already suspicious, and that h,
believed he would be better off II
every way If he took a. long triI
West and tried to make q name FOL
himself. He said he was going Il
have a conference with Wood anC
Savage, and would demand thirty
three and one-third per cent. for hi
share. II Wood refused TO give hin
his asking price he would call off al
negotiations. This he has done. Wei
merit also insisted that the figh
