NV Dear Mr.. Norton-Thanks Tor
the publicity given the writer in your
most excellent personal column. FOR
an outsider to receive SO conspicuous
a notice, and that right up among
the delicate dollhouse flowers Oh
cycledom who are being coached
| trained and ordered to indulge in
several days of restful quletude ere
participating in so strenuous Il per
] Torrance as a match race, when
calls for two or three twelfth-mile
! sprints, should be gratifying.
But should occasion come for the
appearance of my name In your
column again. kindly place me 1uf-
ther down where you give mention
| to riders that have enough red blood
| in their veins to battle and give
battle the way the old guard dld
when we had to ride for our bed ana
board and rode all the matches and
open races that were offered US With
out a thought of resting up.
Yes, I'm peeVed at the action or
certain riders and their failure to
make good at New Haven, but as
YOU pass the buck to Mr.. Million
perhaps there be eXtenuating cir
cumstances that should receive my
most charitable consideration. Adj
vertise me freely in your column
if the chatter stuff should appeal TO
YOU as interesting to the fans, but
kindly refrain from belittling any Of
the bike riders under the caption OF
"Dr. Caldwell and his prescriptions.
Your statement that | claimed to
be mainly responsible for Clark S
victory over Kramer and that my
prescription was responsible for the
outcome is about as true as the libel
enough to make correction of. The
statement that l fixed Jackie Clark
up is correct. so far as it applies 10
my attaching plasters to several
parts of his anatomy that my past
experience in cycle races has taught
me can be strengthened in such
manner, but nix on the prescription
and victory claims that detraet the
least credit from Glar6's honestly
earned victory over Kramer.
Although in my extreme modesty
I'll blushingly admit that l offered
advice that Clark follow out as 10
the best angle to beat steve after
losing the first heat, my honest opin-
ion of the match is that Clark was
right on edge and riding fast enough
to beat any rider in the world from
the front that particular Sunday.
With best wishes to yourself and
the fans, ! remain, Yours very
truly, FRANK j. CALDWELL.
Dear "Doctor''-As I understand it..
YOU claimed great credit for Clark's
victory and did not little blowing
about it. BY "Dr. Caldwell and his
prescriptions" was meant just what
you admit-the placing of belladonna
plasters on the wrists and over the
heart. Everybody knows, of course,
Doctor" that you have the great
est "go-fast" dope in the world, but
no one seemed to think shat you adj
ministered to Jackie in that manner.
Glad you like the Evening Star and
| that you appreciate the publicity. 1t
is too bad that you can't get some
of the real stuff up in New Haven,
where it would do you more good
By your letter, Doctor" I would
Judge that you are sore on everybody
and that even Poor Little Jackie"
is ''in bad with you. Well, "Dr. "
Caldwell. | will always have a soft
spot in my heart for you, for you
were one gamester. You not only
battled with the COED old guard In
the good old days, but you quit the
game instantly when you learned
that lap prizes were worth only fifty
cents each. AS to the dollhouse
flowers of cycledom," you are more
than right The fact Is, the cyclists
of today are given entirely too much
attention and they are becoming en-
tirely too important. The best thing
that could happen to the game would
be to cut off all bonus money and
make the men who follow the game
go out and earn their money. AS you
remark, these illustrious stars ought
to have a lot of rest and a lot OF
nursing in order to ride two or per-
haps three fast twelfths in one day
Some labor! surely, "Cad," those
cyclists are being overworked and
abused. Besides, l don't believe
MANY of the riders make more than
$40. 900 a year. How they stand fol
such hard work and such poor re-
ward is a question that will have te
be settled sooner or later.

lowing letters are evidence of that;
