eigners in the limited hour six-day
races run in this country. During
the past few years there has been q
few Australians in these races, but
they are not considered in the light
Of aliens any more. There Is con-
siderable class to the foreign entry
IN the local six-day race. and Manv
ager MacFarland believes that they
viii have much TO do with the suc-
cess OF the race.
Eerri European star.
Verri is the star Of the European
contingent. and as he Is 10 be teamed
with Joe Fogler, the team will be one
Of the strongest in the race and ike
ly winners. Verri il a gamester OF
the first order. and has finished UP
with the leaders in every six-day
race he ever rode. He finished fiffa
in the New York race last year, he
was fourth in the Paris race thlz
year, and he and Egg split fourth
and fifth money in the New York

They are both pretty fair riders ana

Provost is a sprinter, and Colomisata
is a pace follower. They are both
strong riders, and their chances wiz

I.inart and Dupuy Paired.
Victor Linart. the Belgian cham.

/ viii be teamed in the local race. ana
II is a certainty that they will show
far better form in this race than
they did IN New York. Both cf
them went into the Gotham grind out
of condition, and IL was surprising
that they stayed In the race as long
as they did. They had little or nc
training, and they rode on nerve
alone until finally forced to give up
the struggle. Dupuy was the big
surprise Of the race. He was never

that he would be the first OF tha
Europeans to quit. but he stayed IN
the race longer than any of theTns
Both OF these riders have been trains
ing ever since they quit the New
York race. and they are IN the best
OF condition now.
Madonna Probable Starter.
vfncenzo Madonna, the little Itai<
ian who was discovered by Nat Btrt-
Ter this spring. will probably be q
starter in the race also. Manages
MaeFarland is Of the opinion that
the rugged little fellow is going 10
make a great rider bme day. ana
he is giving him every chance to de-
velop. Madonna started in the New
York race with Iinart, but being iii~
experienced he made the fatal mis-
take OF setting pace when he feis
good instead of saving himself
