Floyd mcfarland, the Velodrome
manager, made wise move when
he secured Bill Bailey for an en-
gagement here. The fans are de-
lighted. Bailey comes in the place OF
tT.eon Hourlier, the Frenchman, who
was prevented from making the trip
because of the war. Bailey will ar
rive here on August 81. and he will
ride his first race on Sunday, Au-
gust 30. Champion Kramer will be
his opponent Bailey will also take
part in the worlds cycle derbies. He
will ride his heat the same day he
races Kramer. The English Splinter
will liven up things around here.
After he meets Kramer he will go
down the line in matches with the
other stars. On his European form
he should win more races than he
will lose.

of course, was happy. Now however,
