J. P. N:
Was over to see the races on
Wednesday night and they were
great. Grenda and Walker may be
a good tandem team, but when they
get up against two riders like Kra-
mer and Goullet they look like minors.
1t was a great joke when it was an
nounced that Cavanagh and Hill were
to substitute for Grenda and Walker
in the second heat. They might have
as well handed the race to Kramer
and Goullet. Did the long sprint
make Grenda sick?
L
a bear" and 1 am glad Bailey won
it, 1 notice Clark is coming back
to form. / think Moretti is the rough
est rider that ever mounted wheel,
for although / am fan who never
misses a race, ] have yet to see the
Italian ride a straight, honest race.
He certainly can switch" some, and
that "snake ride" of his makes it
almost impossible for any other rider
to get around him. l am no enemy of
Moretti's, but l am for square deal
ing all the time. Spears is a good
rider. but by adding an extra 20" to
Bob's first name fair idea is OBJ
tanned of what he is, because he rides
his races from behind. I'd like to see
a match between Cavanagh and
Spears, for I think they are pretty
evenly matched.
I have been clamoring for a match
between Kaiser and Hanley all sea-
son, and 1 think Hanley would win it,
All the star amateurs showed up
poorly on Wednesday.
Do you think Manager MacFarland
could arrange another 100-kilometre
race before the end of the season? /
think it would serve to draw big
crowd.
What in your opinion, is the order
of the ten best professional and anna
teur riders? l don't mean the best
riders at the Velodrome, but the best
riders In the world
Why doesn't MacFarland build an
indoor track? I am positive Newark
would support 1t. A five-lap track
would be just about right. An in
stance of the good it would do was
shown on Wednesday night. Had
there been an indoor track at least
5000 people would have been there.

would support one also. Yours very
truly, S. I'll. Q.
Cavanagh and Spears are as close
as two peas in superior intelligence on
a bike track, yet Spears, some day, is
likely to beat them all. Hanley would
not be much of a match for Kaiser.
MacFarland expects to put on long
race before the season is over. have
selected the ten best riders several
times. You may come in and look
over the files. A five-lap indoor track
Why not make 1t mile track? A
building that would hold 5000 persons
and bike track would cost a ton
of money. You might add couple
of "o's' to your name.

An apology for Grenda:
]. p. NJ:
Just a few lines in regard to the
tandem race of Wednesday night. If
Grenda is really i'll, then we owe him
an apology for calling him bluff
and saying he had cod feet; but he
rode a very strong race in the first
heat and showed such independence
after dismounting that it seemed
more illness of temper than anything
else. But If he was Ill then we
apologize for our remarks.
AS to Bill Bailey, we wish to add
our congratulations to the many he
has already received And as he is
a fellow countryman of mine, / am
glad to see him coming into his own
again, for he is a splendid rider, but
did not show his real speed until
Wednesday night. Was very sorry to
see Spears fail again, as / enjoy his
riding very much.
BY the way, J. P. N, is Grenda
counted among the benedicts, as I
have another fair fanness with ME
Wednesday night. and she could see
no one but Grenda. But, Of course, |
would not like to be the cause of a
family quarrel. Hoping everything
will be all right Sunday, ] remain.
Grenda says he is still bachelor.

Suggests a Ladies' Day" at the
Velodrome:
j., p. N:
| am real bike fanness and cam
not understand why Mr.. Mac doesn't
have ladies' day at the Velodrome
next season. 1 know quite a few
ladies who are game enough to ride.
A BIKE FANNESS.
Mac" is an old-fashioned fellow,
and he wouldn't like your idea at all.

others. Practice up on a few Of the
household duties and let the boys fur
nish the cycling sport.
O.
AS usual, a fight manager can
never see his fighter being beaten.
One of them says:
J. p. N:
In the description about the Kid
Beck-Jimmy Storm fight at the open
ing of the Bay View Wheelmen'
Club it was said that Storm was bad
ly beaten. Kid Beck was the only
one who carried away souvenir OF
the fight. for he had cash over his
right eye, and Storm was unmarked
Had Storm trained for the fight he
would have put another turn to the
fight. The two boys are rematched
to fight the star bout at the same
club in the near future, and then We'll
see what Storms real work is like
Yours truly, TONY GEORGE,
Manager Jimmy Storm.
Here's another complaint:
