giles and that Williams will win one
of his In that event, we will have
to win the doubles. and by doing
this we could even lose two matches
in the singles The doubles Is the
whole show, and that's why so many
smart devotees of the sport are Sc
Letting the Australasians to win the
trophy. It is said that Brookes and
Wilding are more than a match for
any two men We can stack up against
them. and worst OF it.-all, there is
an argument as to who we should
play against them. The committee
will decide that. and it is said that
the committee has already decided
it. This has created some discus
sion. and it hasn't helped our chances
in the doubles in the least.

From the latest accounts, Nc
Loughhn and Bundy are TO represent
the L. S. A. in the doubles. Very
we'll but it is believed that Karl H.
Behr has proven himself a better
partner for Mclaughlin than has
Bundy. and therefore the surprise of
the other choice. However. 1t is the
opinion that the committee knows
best and II 1t decides on Bundy as
against Behr il will likely have good
reason for so doing. OF course, If the
committees selections are beaten in
the doubles-no matter who they pick
the committee win be taken to task.
In any event II is hoped that Behr
and Mclaughlin double up, for that
will dispel the criticism that Nc
Loughlin is running the whole show
and that it was he who insisted in
Bundy being chosen over Behr. I
don't believe that Mclaughlin has in
terfered, but if Behr is selected. it
will prove that he hasn't.

With the race for the professional
championship so hot, it is too bad
that Manager mcfarland didn't bill
title race as a feature for the Velo- |
drome tomorrow evening. Instead. he
has a f1fty-mile teams race on the |
card, and while these contests are
always decidedly interesting, the fans |
would have much preferred a cham
pionship. When General mcfarland I
framed his card for Wednesday he /
evidently didn't figure that the last |
three championships would turn out I
the way they did. He felt, no doubt, |
as most OF us did, that Kramer would |
win at least two of them and that he |
would be we'll up in the third one. |
Instead, TO the CONSERVATION of the /
populace, Kramer was shut out in the !
third-mile event, finished fourth in
the half-mile. and won the five-mile.
That Is why the fans are yelling for
more championships. because the
race is so close and interesting.
G
With Goullet such an important |
contender, and only one point be-
hind Kramer in the battle for the |
title, both men are naturally looking |
for all the help" In sight in order |
to win the races. In the end, though, |
Kramer Is almost sure to triumph, |
for he is the class and he has the |
speed and the brains. Goullet is a
grand little rider and he will make |
"Old Steve" hump his back and ex- |
tend his chin to beat him out, but |
Kramer is "Goullies' master in
many ways and his friends and adj |
mirers have not much to worry about |
him losing the championship. an
honor he has held for thirteen years. |

With the war in Europe, the cyclists |
will have to devote their energies to
six-day racing in this country the
coming winter. General MacFarland
is planning to hold two long grinds
outside of the annual fixture in New
York, and he is also going to con-
duct three or four short hour races.
The six-day race in New York will
be held in November this year, and
that will give Mac a clear, full
winter ahead OF him to arrange for
other six-day contests. Negotiations
are DelDB CdTTleQ OH III CnlCdBO at
the present time for a full-hour six
day race, in which William Wellman,
the manager of Madison Square Gar
den and Brighton Beach, will be in
terested with Messrs. Million, Upper
Gu and MacFarland In Boston
Honest Nat" Butler and Alec Nc
Lean will join hands with the Cycle
Racing Association and run a long
grind at the Hub. 1t may be a ten
hour affair and It may run through
the twenty-four hours. All will de-
pend on a few things yet to be set
tied. MacFarland will manage a six
day race in Toronto and he is talking
about running one in Buffalo. He
has written to Kansas City for a date,
and he may go to st. Louis. If
Mac" does go on the road he will
take all the stars with him. He feels
as If he could make every town a
big success with the right kind of
talent.

his point for his fight with George
