Boston and New Haven, will conduct
the New York six-day race for the
next three years This was decided
upon at q conference yesterday.
Messrs. Million and Uppercu will have
absolute charge of the riders in the
Garden grind but the F. & D. Com
pany will run the business end. VIII
| lie Wellman will represent the Garden
people and Floyd A. mcfarland will
represent Messrs. Million and Uppercu
in the running of the race. The
agreement calls for three years, and
the arrangements, Mr.. Million said
today, were very satisfactory.

The New York grind by the way,
will be held much earlier this year
than in any previous year. The race
viii occupy the week of November
10 to 81. The conditions will be about
the same as last year. although Floyd
MacFarland will be the general man
ager, instead of P. T. Powers, who
had charge last year. Mr.. Powers,
though, 1 understand, will be treated
handsomely in the matter.

Besides securing control of Madison
Square Garden for the next three
years, Messrs. Million and Uppercu
have also signed up with Mr.. Well
man to control the sprint racing end
of the game at the Brighton Beach
Motordrome. A sprint track has
| been erected. there and the first meet
will be held next Saturday, which is
Deeora ton Day. 1t is planned to
hold meets three nights a week, al
though at the start the racing nights
will be Sundays and Wednesdays. Big
cards will be put on at Brighton
Beach, There will be races for the
sprinters, for the pace-followers and
for the boys who ride those dare
devil motors. Million and Uppercu
will have the appointment of all the
officials at Brighton Beach, as well
will have charge of the judges, Pete
Prouty will be the announcer, John
Valentine will be the referee. Who
the starter will be has not been set
tied yet, but he will be a New York
man. In the Garden the officials will
be about the same as last year, with
the exception that Charley Turville
will have charge of the foreign
camp.
When Walter Rutt signed a con-
tract with Messrs. Million and Up
percu to race here all season, he also
put his name to a contract which
calls for him to ride in the New York
six-day race and in the Boston six
day race. Rutt's contract, it is said,
is the largest ever given a cyclist
and is larger, l am told, than the
contract held by Champion Kramer.
The fact that Rutt is going to remain
over here will mean some great rae
ing. and it will also mean that Kra-
mer will have to hustle to hold his
American title.

Close followers of sporting affairs
know where to get the news first and
the best news. Thus we publish the
following about ourselves, lest 9TH
ers become careless with the truth:
J. P. N. ESQ.,:
The information given so promptly
BY the Evening Star that Champion
Walter Rutt is going to remain here
has been read with immense enthusl-
asm and interest. We are sure the
cycling fans of this city will be CRATE
full to the management of the Nelo-
drome for signing Rutt to ride here
all season in open competition. We
are admirers of good, clean, honest
races. and as we dearly love the
cycling game, we are glad that men
like Rutt. a clean, fair, honest rider,
will continue to compete in our local
races, which we are sure will be full
of life, interest and attractiyeness.
We hear that Frank L. Kramer will
take part in the world championship
while Rutt will be riding here. If this
is true there could not be better
and more capable rider for the crown.
The splendid victory of the Cava-
nagh-Hill team is certainly signiti-
cant, and their riding was without
doubt excellent. Still, we know there
is a tandem that could beat the above
pair Anyhow, through the popular
Evening Star we suggest that an in
ternational tandem race be put zip
with the following men to compete:
CAVANAGH- HILL
VS..
GOuLLET-GREN
This match race to be at one mile,
two out of three heats
Our congratulations to ALI Goullet
for the splendid riding of Sunday
Yours very truly, S. o. & co.
Rutt will remain ali season and he
win give us some great racing. He
ia a strong fellow and is not likely
t. be taken suddenly sick, as he al
ways keeps his feet very warm, in
either victory or defeat. Kramer is
not going to compete in the worlds
championship in Europe. The tan
dem race you have suggested has
been billed for the Velodrome after
the Grand Prize of Newark race.
which calls for 81 900 for the winner,
has been decided. The men wouldn't
care TO take chance before that big
race.
