Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-01-09

with much glee the very interesting
story written by Floyd Mcfarland
who is now in Paris, and published in
the Evening Star of yesterday. The
news, including the list of the teams
| for the Paris six-day race and the
fact THAT Hourlier, the great French
sprinter. has been signed to race al
the Newark Velodrome next season
Mac" also says in his story that he
expects to sign Walter Rutt, the
big German" and Moretti, the
speedy Italian, to ride at the Velo-
drome. AS mcfarland says: New
ark fans may rest assured that they
viii see the cream of the European
talent the coming season."

MacFarland is busy man in
Europe, yet he finds time to give the
! Newark fans all the foreign news
, through the Evening Star. He is in
| full charge of the American teams
in the Paris race and he is going to
help the promoters in every way to
make the affair a big Success, the
same as he did over in Madison
Square Garden. Mac" is a hard
worker and loyal and honest fellow,
and his best at all times is none too
good, is the way he figures his SER
vices. He surely was responsible for
the success of the New York race,
and p T. Powers, who was the gen.
eral manager of the grind, went out
of his way to tell me that MacFar-
land made the race the success it
proved to be. Over in Paris it is sure
to be the same thing, for Mac"
worked night and day last year in
order to see that everything was con-
Quoted properly, and in the end he
was highly praised and given a pres
ent by those who conducted the af
fair. After the Paris race is over
mcfarland will go to Brussels,
where he has signed a contract to
IllAi u SIA-ddS Ii AASoSlo AoSC
will be held on brand-new track
in wonderful building, and Mac"
in his story, says he would like to
see a structure just like it some day
in Newark. So would thousands of
bike fans, who are cIamoring for some
kind of indoor amusement during the
winter months. Maybe Newark will
have a winter track before long.

The decision of Bill Bailey the
English amateur, to turn professional
is according to the plans he outlined
to me in an interview just before he
left Newark for his home last octo-
Der. On that occasion Bailey said:
IT will ride pro next year sure, and
and I will ride my first race in Paris.
I expected to turn professional dur
ing my stay in this country. but
couldn't make terms with the pro-
moters. I wanted to race Frank
Kramer, but I couldn't get my price.
mcfarland doesn't want me 70 turn
pro and would like to have me come
back here next season as an ANA
teur, but feel as if I have ridden
in the amateur ranks long enough,
and I am really anxious to turn pro-
fessional. II I make good, I'll come
back here again, for you Am orleans
have certainly treated me fine"

Roy Kenny, who wears the title of
middleweight champion of Austria
liza, is said to be a pretty nifty
fellow with his hands. If so, Charley
Weinert, the Jersey champion, who
is matched to meet Kenny at
Browns gym next Tuesday night,
will have more than the anticipated
workout. Kenny, according to Jack
Mccarthy, the matchmaker for Bill
Brown, is a real good man, and he
is expected to give weinert a hard
CO. The Jersey boy however, will be
prepared for him, for he is training
faithfully every day under the eye
of Manager Woodruff. Kenny is a
globe trotter, and he has fought in
numerous countries. He came to New
York only recently, and is said to
have made an excellent impression.
Those who have seen him perform
say he is a clever fellow, and that
he is likely to make it interesting for
Weinert It is to be hoped that he
has some class and that he does
make Weinert extend himself, but
there are few men of the Kids weight
who can hold a candle to him. Wei
merits victory over Battling Levinsky
gave the Jersey boy great promi-
hence, and he will not want for
matches for some time in the fu-
ture, especially as he is able to make
good and fight up to his reputation.
He makes a fine appearance in the
ring, and he is so clever that he wins
the fans from the start. He has a
wallop with his right hand, but he
hasn't been taking many chances
