that the boys will engage in con-
| tinuous race in San Francisco. The
race in Chicago will be held at Dex-
| ter's Park, but in Frisco. which is to
come two weeks later than the race
| in Chicago, the men viii ride under
circus tent. Jimmy Coffroth, the
California promoter. Will be inter-
ested in the Frisco race on a fifty
| fifty basis, but Mcfarland will per-
form the managerial labors. The
Buffalo race, which will be for ten
hours daily, will open December z
and close on December II, and will
be preceded by sprint meets on the
previous Saturday and Sunday
nights. The Sunday night sprhht
meet makes the Buffalo race pos3-
sible, for the revenues from these
short-hour six-day races are hardly
worth the while financially. With
two sprint meets, however, the riders
and the promoters are likely to make
some money.

Manager MacFarland, in discussing
his Western tour, said he would like
to run six-day race in Newa rk il
he thought it would please the fans.
81 wish you would put it up TO
the fans and see what they Inaye 70
say about it," MacFarland said. 81
don't know for sure whether we can
secure the armory, but 1 think we
can. If SO, l will give the matter
attention. 1 could run race here
in January, but we would have to
charge fifty cents admission in the
evening to get by, with twenty-five
cents in the afternoon. II the fans
six-day race 1 will run one L don't
care If we make a cent. AL l want
to do is to please the fans, they SUD-
port the game so we'll in the summer.
l would give them Champion Kra-
mer, Goullet, Grenda, Egg, Verri,
Linart, Dupuy, ColonteT1i, Provost
and other American and foreign
stars. 1t would beAa great race, but
do the fans want it? If they do, we
will give it to them"
o
mcfarland is making his plans
for next season. He has signed sew
eral foreigners and expects to sign
more. Dupre, the great French
sprinter, will ride at the Velodrome
next summer. He was to have come
here last season, but MacFarland
shifted to Hourlier, who failed to
keep his appointment and has been
sorry ever since. But Hourlier wants
to make good. He sends word that
he would be delighted to race here
next season, and says he will be able
! to get leave from war duty for a
few months. He is anxious to square
himself, and mcfarland is anxious
| to have him, so we will likely see
him ride here when the summer
comes again. Verri will be among
the starters in the races here next
season, but Moretti may not. Verri
has practically accepted terms, but
Moretti's demands, according to Mac
Farland, are beyond all reason.

The cyclists who were fined in the
New York race have declared them
selves opposed to giving the money
to Chairman Kelsey for his own per-
sonal use. They have held one meet
ing and they are going to hold an
other in q day or so, at which the
matter will come in for a thorough
airing. The riders are in favor IF
putting all fines in fund for in
jured cyclists. The champion Of this
cause is Floyd MacFarland himself,
and the riders are with him to a
man. All the fines have been col
lected, and are in possession of the
Cycle Racing Association. 1t is now
only up to the riders to declare them
selves. Kelsey will probably explain
how it can't be done, but you can
do most anything WREN your know
you are right, and the riders will GER
tainly be doing a good deed If they
create such fund as suggested.
Champion Kramer should be the
leader in this movement.

taxes on moving picture houses, as
covered by the law recently signed
by President Woodrow Wilson, be
paid? Are the theatres notified OIL

The theatres are notified and fur
nished with blanks which must be re-
turned by the night of November 30
If they are not paid by December
they will be subjected to fine OF
80 per cent. of the amount Of the
taxation. The taxes are based on the
seating capacity of the houses. Ths
rates are as Iollows:
For seating capacity under 200, $50
from $50 to 500, SIS; from 800 to 500
s75; 300 and over, 500. These
amounts are for the year. AS the
s1scal government year expires June
