going to put the people next Sunday.
Here we are only up to the pre-
liminary races in the Worlds Cycle
Derby and International Champion
ships, and we haven't room for our
patrons" MacFarland said yester-
day What will we do when it
comes down to the final of the Sprint
Derby next Sunday? I don't know at
all, at all. We must enlarge the Vel
odrome, if we expect to hold the pub
lie. The fans who are turned away
are naturally displeased and some of
them never come back. 1t Is claimed
that it is big boost to have it said
that we turned them away at the
I would much sooner accommodate
everybody and forego the advertise

G
Vic Hess says it is impossible to
ride dead heat on bike track. Vic
is wrong again. The automatic
picker at the Velodrome proved this
by showing that Moretti and Law
son went over the tape on exactly
even terms. Still Mr.. Hess has
claimed all along that he could sep
arate the riders, no matter how
close was the finish, with his naked
eye. Funny thing about that dead
heat-it didn't make any difference,
for Moretd and Lawson. who finished
on even terms, were teaming with
Spears, who won the race. Moretti did
the pulling and Lawson did the pro-
tecting, and they divided among them
the first three money prizes. No Won
der George Cameron is sore over his
suspension, when three-man COM
bination can get away with all the
money.
The surprise of the tennis world
came to light when r. Norris Will
Jams defeated Maurice e. McLough-
Newport yesterday. And Williams
not only defeated Mclaughlin, but
he won the match handily and deci-
sively He won in straight sets and
he won each set after really playing
Mclaughlin into submission. In
scoring such a notable victory, Will
Jams overplayed himself. In moth
ing he has done in the past, either re-
cent or otherwise, did he figure to
even give Mclaughlin an interesting
argument. The red-headed man from
the West had swept everybody be-
fore him, including Williams. this
season, and no one looked for the
young Philadelphia to win a single
set. Yet he won all three sets and
so has upset the tennis sdope of the
world.
1t Is claimed that Mclaughlin was
not himself and that he didn't play
the game he is capable of putting
up. That doesn't seem so, for he
fought it out to the last ounce. Will
Jams, 1t is true, was very exceptional
yesterday, and he played at his very
best. He was snappy and his SER
who served very we'll
at that 1t may be one grand mis-
take, this defeat of Mclaughlin by
Williams, but we will have to give
the Philadelphia boy the benefit of
the doubt until Red Mac takes him
into camp in another match. In the
Davis Cup contests Williams showed
a lot of tennis, but the boy was
couldn't show to advantage. He was
as nervous as a cat when he faced
Wilding the first day, and he threw
away that match. Against ~rookes
he wasn't much better, still when he
did show form 1t was real class and
he might have won at least one Of his
singles matches If he could only have
controlled his nerves.
@
Young Williams, the new hero, is
native of Philadelphia, and is TWEEN
ty-two years old, Until three years
ago he was absolutely unknown on
American tennis courts. He acquired
the game in Switzerland, and was so
we'll grounded in it's fundamentals
that when he appeared in the sum-
mer of 1912. after a miraculous es-
cape from the Titanic, he proved the
