last night, as soon as they found out
how to do it, were willing givers-up.
Floyd MacFarland put up prize OF
s25 to go to the leader at the end OF
the first hour. This was taken by
Alfred Goullet, who won it easily.
o
After twelve hours Of riding, Gouliet
and Grenda appear to be the best
team in the race. Goullet is simply
flying, and IL Grenda is not stricken
with appendicitis during the grind it
is believed that this pair will surely
win. Fogler and Hill are also in fine
fettle and they will bear a lot of
Watching. Jimmy Moran and Reggie
Mcnamara look TO be in great shape
This pair promises to be the pest"
team of the race when 1t gets a little
older Moran says he will not give
anyone a bit of sleep, for he intends
to jam and jam until he and his part
ner get lap. Jimmy, however, is one
of those fellows who are always wait
ing for an angle, and It may be that
his bark is worse than his bite. Nc
Namara has put 1t right up to Moran.
Reggie says that he will do his share
whenever Jimmy starts anything. A
little later on, Moran says, he will
stir up the monkeys"
%
Harry Kaiser, the little amateur,
promises to be contender, and he
may prove to be the sensation of the
race. So far he is very good and he
beat verri in a race for "a prime" at
1:15 o'clock this morning. Cameron,
his partner. is an old stager at the
game and these boys are very popu-
lar.
O.
A big jam occurred in the race at
1850 O'Clock this morning. 1t was
bear, and four teams lost a lap. The
"iarn," by the way, was started by
James Francis Moran and in the wild
sprint, which lasted Just fourteen
minutes, Mcnamara, Moran's part
ner, was the best man in the race.
Among the teams that lost a lap was
the Cavanagh- Piercey pair. During
the sprint, Jackie Clark and Eddie
Root came within an ace of losing a
lap. They were more than half a lap
behind when a spill occurred and the
jam" was stopped. Nine teams were
fined for making poor piok-ups during
the sprint. Clark and Root and Fog
Ter and Hill were among the ones
punished. The race is going TO be a
bear" and Moran and Mcnamara, it
seems, are going to be the "bear-
cats"
William Devery occupied box
along with p. T. Powers at the
opening of the six-day race. He has
always been interested in the bike
races, and he hasn't lost any of his
enthusiasm. Mr.. Devery owns the
Jersey City Club, and he has big
interest in the New York American
League Club. We talked baseball q
few minutes. Mr.. Devery seemed
anxious that the Jersey City Club
be disposed of to some Of his friends
In Syracuse, while other league
moguls. 1t seems, desire the Wards,
of Brooklyn, to get the Shelters
franchise. They can have it, no
doubt, IL they will pay the price.
As to his holdings in the Yankees,
Mr.. Devery wouldn't say if the club
was for sale, He irtimated, how
ever, that it could be purchased.
you can buy anything II you'll pay
the price," Mr.. Devery said. Then he
remarked: IT don't care what they
do, but I hope they get together and
fix it up somehow. Baseball is in a
bad way, and something must be
done. Business men must work along
business lines"
o
Judging from Mr. Devery's CONVEX
sation, and the way he put things,
the Chief would probably like to re-
tain his interests, under favorable
conditions, in the International
League, and sell out his interests at
what he considers a fair price. in the
American League. But one thing is
certain, it is million to one that
Ban Johnson, or all the other mag
mates in the big leagues. won't be
able to drive big Bill'' Devery out
of baseball unless he is well paid for
it. Johnson is on his way to New
York from Chicago, it is said, with
the money to buy Deyery out. If the
sum is large enough his visit will
quite likely be a success. If not, he
will find his mission to be a failure.
Though he has kept himself IN the
