Changes in Paris Race.
a special cable from the European
correspondent OF the Evening Star
contains the information that there
nave been many changes made in the
teams that will start in the Paris six
day race, which will get under way in
that city Monday night at 10 O'Clock.
BY the Encouragement, two new teams
are added to the field of starters and
several individual riders have been
added to the list and paired with I'd
ers VINO were in the original entries
published exclusively in the Evening
Star Thursday.
Bobby WaIthour Enters.
Prominent among the late entries is
Bobby Walthour The famous South
erner will ride with Deruyter. a
French rider Of some note. Walthour
rode in the race last year with George
Wiley, the champion motor-paced
rider of America, and the team fin
ished third. Van Bever and Vanhou-
waert, Belgians, and Bader ana
Trousselier are the new teams that
have made the race. Van Bever is
the sprint champion of Belgium and
Vanhouwaert holds the long distance
holors. Both of these men have
raced in America. Van Bever rode in
the worlds championships at the Vel
odrome in 1912 and Vanhouwaert com.
peted in the New York six-day race
the same year. Jacquelin, the sprint
champion of the world In 1890 and
one of the most famous Of the French
short-distance men, is one OF the
added starters. Beyl, who was orig
inally slated to ride with Verri, will
be Jacquelin's mate. According to
the Encouragement Verri will go to
the mark with Crupelandt for a rid
ing mate. Berthet. who was doubled
up with Crupelandt. will ride with
Engel.
More Teams Added.
In addition to adding numbers to
the starters in the race. the promoters
have, by the Encouragement, strength
ened some Of the teams. The race
now looks more promising than ever
and it would not be surprising to see
the recently established worlds rec
ord in the New York race broken.
Many of the riders in the race are I'M
known to local followers of the sport
for the reason that they have confined
their efforts to the big French road
races for professionals. But it Is
these road riders who will set the pace
and make the race fast throughout.
1t is evidently with the intention of
breaking the New York record that
these riders have been added to the
list of starters.
The addition of Van Bever and Van
houwaert creates a new angle in pick
ing the probable winners. Van Bever
has DEVELOPED into a great sprlnter
ana Vanhouwaert is without a supe-
rioT as a plunger. The American
Australian combinations, VIII Oh have
remained intact during the changes in
the lineup, face another formidable
pair in the Begians.
Here's the Revised List.
Following is the list of teams which
will start in the race according to the
encouragement:
Goullet and Grenda.
Clark and Root.
Fogier and Moran.
Hourlier and Comes.
Dupre and Brocco.
Poulain and Breton.
Berthet and Engel.

wiley Arrives Home.
George Wiley, the holder OF the
paced championship of America, who
has been racing in Europe for the
past three months, returned to Amer
lea on the Lusitania yesterday. The
little pacefollower expected to re-
main in Europe throughout the Win
ter, but returned on account OF being
displeased with the way he was
treated abroad. During the time he
was on the continent Wiley competed
in four races, two of which he won.
Wiley savs that all of the American
and Australian riders are riding in
very good form, and ne expects to see
one of the teams from this country
win the big Paris six-day race.
MacFarland After Stars.
FLOYD MacFarland, the general
manager of the Cycle Racing Asso-
citation. is negotiating with George
Sores and Louis Darragon with a
view to signing them for the coming
season in America Seres and OAR
rapon are two of the best motor
paced riders in Europe. They are
both Frenchmen and are veterans
who have been in the front rank OF
the sport for years. Darragon won
the worlds championship on two oc-
casions. Sores is wonder on small
tracks at the shorter distances, and
ia capable of making it most interest
ing for the best of the Yankees be-
hind the motors. 1t is said that if
the Frenchmen decide to come to this
country they will bring their own
pacemakers, who are equally famous
Lauthier is Seres's pacemaker and
Nazo is Darragon's engineer.
