NEWARK EVENING STAR: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IA, 1914

and the prospects are that few
thousand local followers of the game
will attend the races. Now that
Paris is at war, Newark is easily the
cycling centre of the world. The
people here have been given the very
best there is in the game and they
have supported it Loyalty and nber-
ally. Some of them like six-day
racing and will go to the Garden
during the week to come. There is
always much there to interest. Per-
sonally, l am not very keen on those
long grinds. Since Jackie Clark
openly admitted that he Laid down"
to Walter Rutt 1 have been rather
disgusted with .six-day racing. How
ever. I generally make a daily visit
to the Garden and l always find
considerable to amuse me.

The New York race this year is
going to be cleaner in every way than
in years past. A noble effort is being
made to keep out the objectionable
characters, and the Newark fans will
be able TO see for themselves tonight
Just how far the promoters have gone
to protect their patrons. 1t has al
ways been said that the Garden
couldn't be kept free from the ''guer-
illas." Manager MacFarland is going
to show that it can be done. He is
hai NJ a 81 I'D ~.
William Wellman, vino is boss of
Madison Square. Wellman, like Mac
Farland, is a live wire. He is a
young man, but he is a smart fellow
and he is always willing to take
chance. The Garden is declared to
be safe from crooks OF all sorts. It
will be interesting to observe the re-
suits.
It is believed that the early date
of the race will hurt the attendance.
Manager Mcfarland says it won't,
and MACS Judgment has been
pretty good in the past. The football
season is now at its height, and 1t
Princeton today and New Haven
next Saturday TO the gridiron bat
ties and pass up the bike races. We
will see. Anyway, the season passes
other years. Mr.. Million has been
placing "bands Of admission on the
wrists OF his friends for the past few
days. Those who haven't received
theirs should make application at
once. The wrist band is of leather,
and is a pretty nifty affair. 1t has
regulation seal, and we are wear
ing one. They are in much demand.
it might be remarked, because they
are novelty. Mr. Million Is very
nice man.
As to the winners in the six-day
race, Alfred Goullet and Alfred
Grenda loom up as the best team in
the race. Barring accidents, they
should collect the first prize when the
grind is over. Fogler and Hill are
the second choices. In the Evening
Star of yesterday Fogler and Hill
were quoted at to l, the same as
Goullet and Grenda. That was typ
ographical error. The price against
Fogier and Hill should have been 4
to /. Moran and Mcnamara are next
in demand and are selected to finish
third. Verri and Egg are the fourth
choices and Lawson and Drobach
should be fifth. The Evening
Star Will give all the details of the
race throughout the week. Among
the special writer's who will report the
doings at the Garden will be Cham
pion Frank Kramer, Manager Floyd
MacFarland, ALT Goullet and other IA
nous men OF the bike.

Charley Weinert is in good spirits
again. The gloom over his defeat at
the hands of Jack Dillon is wearing
off. A few days up in the mountains
and among the pumpkins have made
life worth the living. Weinert was
the happy kid at the Bay View show
last night He was all smiles, back
in his old posing stunts. He said the
world wasn't as black as 1t seemed a
week ago and he guessed he would
survive the crushing blow. He spoke
of fight between Savage and himself
as a Joke and said that such a contest
would make a good semi-final to
star bout with Percy Woodruff and
George Rosenbaum as the principals.
Woodruff is a sore spot in Weinerts
heart these days. Percy used to be
his manager and brought him from an
unknown, unhandy boxer to the front
1t was too much for the kid, and
like a colt, he broke loose too often
and Woodruff tied can to him. Then
Percy took hold of Savage. Jim
fought once and fought poorly, and
he fought again and did even worse
Woodruff, disguised, has announced
his permanent retirement as the
maker of champions. But Weinert, 1t
seems, won't allow Percy to rest. He
has suggested the match with Rosen-
baum as the main go to the Savage
Weinert semi-final. The main go for
mine. 1t would draw better and
| would likely be a better fight. To be
fair to the public, though, the pro-
moters should give the show at bar
gain prices.
O.
The best attractions among the
boxers around here are Banty Lewis,
! Jimmy McVeigh and Kid Boonton.
These boys have a large following of
