! Big Boss. there was hasty retreat
F.. nd keen desire to see Mac Now
the little riders and the big riders are
swarmng around the General like
bees and Mac" sees them or doesn't
see them, just as he pleases. Those
who thought all they. had to do was
to pick out their partners and enter
the New York race have been given

that they realize who's who, it is
amusing to watch them eat daintly
out of the hand
o
Nearly. if not quite, all the teams
have been arranged for the New York
grind. So far. Joe F'ogler hasn't Of
fered his moniker TO contract, but
THE Brooklyn Battler' is all ready
master says the word Joe was in New
ark yesterday, but mcfarland wasn't
quite ready for him Fogler would
like 10 ride with Jackie Clark, who is
also frequent visitor to the Cycle
Racing Associations offices at 1872
Market street, That, however is out
! of the question. Fred Hill had been
selected as Clark's partner, but Jackie
said that Hill was not the man he
wanted, and he said some nasty
things about Freddie as lobster in
six day races. When Hill heard about
iClark's accusation he was very
''peeved' young man, and he went
IoNer Clark's record with a fine tooth
comb and 1t came out with snarls in
lit. Now Hill refuses to ride with
CLARK. who may eventually wind up
with Grassy Ryan as a team mate,
although it is just possible that Mac
Farland, for the sake of peace in the
family, may put Eddie Root with
Clark and give Hill to Fogler This
Us not certain, In fact, it isn't a sure
thing that either Fogler or Clark will
ride in the New York race
g
With all his faults and with all his
breaks, and his familiarity with the
ways of Russian nobility. | will al
ways say for "Old joe Fogler that
he is great battler and he will give
the fans great race, but he is one OF
the worst pirate" that ever invaded
the poor. little harmless confines Of
cycling. He is teamster of the
rarest type. He will work for you or
he will work against you. He Will
make you win, he will tell you, or he
will make You lose. AS Manager
Mcfarland doesn't want any such
versatile gentlemen around his pre-
serves, he is gradually, but surely,
wedding out the men with just such
methods as Fogler processes TO be
king at However Mac" has
heart" This was discovered a few
years ago, when he took unto himself
wife, and he will very likely forgive
THE Battler' and give him place in
the front row in the New York race.
For this favor, B'oger will promise to
BE good" but he won't 'be good"
and he and Mac" and everybody else
who knows Joe, is fully aware before
hand of that fact.

As TO Clark, his ability as a siX-day
rider is much in doubt. He may ride
well and he may be a "bloomer," In
the New York race last year Clark
quit late in the week and he quit over
in Paris last year before the race had
been much more than a day old. AS
a Splinter this year he rode well for a
time, but after he had beaten Cham
pion Kramer in a match race at the
he was attacked with a
terrible case of tonsilitis and has not
been able to do himself justice since.
During the last six weeks his form
has been so poor that some said he
wasn't doing his best, but Jackie has
right along that he couldn't
do any better. However that may be,
Clark. who receives very handsome
sum of money for his racing ability,
has been frost of late and of no value
To his employers. He hasn't raced at
all lately, his absence being due to an
operation to his nose. Still and all,
cruel old mcfarland has offered him
a contract for next season and also
a contract to ride in the New York
race. That is surely cruelty for you.

According to Manager MacFarland
Clark will be given his choice of two
contracts for next year. One, as
made out by Mac" calls for Clark
TO receive 500 every time he finishes
first in race. and If the prize money
at any time is more than 500 Jackie
is to be given the full amount that the
prize calls for. In that way, MacFar-
land says, Clark will have to train
and keep in condition but If he is At
he will be In a. position to win more
money than he has ever received be-
fore for his seasons work. His con-
tract this season calls for s.. 400 and
what he wins. and he has won
about fifteen races so far, including
match races, of course, which will
also count as 500 firsts, according to
Clark's new style of contract. The
