stay and they stay. all in expectation,
with but small chance of realization.

The teams so far paired up in the
1 New York race are an evenly matched
lot, and any one OF half a dozen
combinations could win 1t without
strict form, Jackie Clark and Eddie
Root would be the favorites, but nine
out of every ten will pick ALI Goullet
and ALI Grenda to win the race. As
! to Clark and Root, II isn't believed
that these men are anywhere near as
good as they used to be. Clark didn't
finish in the New York race last year.
and he failed to go through the six
day grind in Paris. Root was keen
Ontender in the New York race, but
he threw up the sponge in the Paris
ners over In Paris, and one accuses
the other of quitting first. The story r.
that Clark came off the track after
having been relieved by Root and said
he wouldn't do another shift for .
million. He got a good rundown
donned his street clothes and became
a spectator. Root plugged along fol
another hour, when he, too. took tht
notion that he had enough. He made
! off the track and declared to his
trainer:
I'm through; I'm through
"That will be all right, Eddie" the
trainer replied. CLARK beat you &c
It; he quilt an hour ago."
II 1t hadn't been for these little
escapades Clark and Root. as team
would be looked upon as almost 9
certainty. Clark has shown greai
speed and endurance In six day races
and everybody will tell you that ROOF
at one time had no superior as G
six-day rider. Some said that Roo
was the king, others declared thai
Jimmy Moran was the king, but
no one ever overlooked our old FRIEND
Walter Rutt, the "Weltmeister," wher
discussing six-day kings.
o
Changes, though, have worked won.
ders. and Clark and Root are no
considered more than an ordinar,
team in the calculations for the com
ing grind. Clark couldn't get out Of
his own way In the closing weeks O.
the outdoor season, and II Ia no
known what he Is doing in the wa,
Of training for the grind. Root dix
very little riding last season, and h
is lap behind the leaders In thu
present Boston six-day race To hi
credit he Is making a gallant effor
to get the lap back, and he may rid
himself into great condition for tn
New York race. Clark might hav
been in the Boston race, but he de
layed too long and Goullet was sub
stituted. 1t is the Goullet- Hill team
by tho way. that is the likely WHINE,
and GoulIet. who will have All Gren
da as q partner. is also the favorit
for the New York grind.

The American League magnates ar
out in Chicago discussing peace plans
but they deny this, Of course. Tn
word Is passed out that the Fed
are not to be considered, but all tn
time they are trying to arrive at som
conclusion whereby the Feds will b
appeased and the war cease. Sewers
plans have been suggested, the mos
likely presented calling for the bi
money men In the Federal League [

been suggested that Charley Weegh

cago, purchase the Chicago Cubs an
that the men who own the outlaw
franchise in st. Louis take over tn
Cardinals. II 10 also on the bill the
