BOBBY wAI5THoUR
 IS VETERAN OF THE
 BICYCLE RACING CAME

One of the best things about a six day bicycle race, in the opinion of many sports. is that there isn't any law which forces them to be among those present. Lamptng a bunch of tired cyclists wearily circling a track Is one way to kill time, and for those who like that sort of thing it is the sort of thing they will like. The bike fans will have 9 treat in New York during the next week, when the six day grind is up for decision.
 When it is alleged that the six-day game is "deadlys', however, 1t is evil dent from a peruSa1 of the list of cy- clists who will take part in the New applies only to the spectators. Dozens
 of men who have followed the game for from five to twenty odd years are among theNcyclists listed to take part in the sprint races to be held tonight and the six day tournament begin ming Monday morning.
 The real veteran Of the Grand Army of cyclists however. is the ven eraole patriarch, Bobby Wa1thour, who has been travelling over the earth ca a pair Of wheels for more than twenty-fWo years. The bicycle was Of machine when WaIth our made his start as a daredevil cycllst in Allan fa, Ga, away back in the last cen tury. He has been pushing tho ped4 al4 ever E4n9GS and TOT years has performed chiefly in Germany England, and other European coun- tries where the interest in the cycle
 game Is ,keener than 1t is on this side Of the sad and sobbing sea.
 Although the little speed merchant Is now past forty, he can get about as
 much out of a bicycle as ever, and not 50 very long ago he set up new thirty mile record. While the bicycle racing game is evidently not as dangerous as it is
 sometimes alleged, there are many
 hazards for a rider as daring as Wall thour. The southern cyclist wears I the skin oK three different men. srafted on his body to replace cuti-
 cle he lost in living up to his repu- tation as the most daring and reck- l less or bike racers. He has fractured l his collarbone three times, and has
 sustained minor injuries in many other accidents.
