The sensational finish to the New
ark six-day race has created more
discussion than has followed any
bike race ever held, we believe. I;
was so good that the riders them
selves are talking about 1t, and
though they lost money on the ven
ture, the promoters are enthusiastic
over the race. Frank Million said
last night that he considered he got
his moneys worth in that one hour
OF wonderful racing and Inglis NJ.
Uppercu, Mr. Millions partner, felt
as II he was amply repaid for the
amount Of change he had contributed
to make up the losses. Manager Mac
Farland can't see a loser nohow, but
"Mac" admitted that 1t was the
greatest lam" he had ever seen. so
he isn't anything out on the PROPOSE
ton. The race proved one thing
Newark will not support a six-day
grind and It may not be given an
other opportunity to do so. Another
thing, the proposition to build an In
door winter track in this city has
been positively abandoned. The fact
that the sprint meet drew only 1891
is proof that the local fans do not
want winter racing here.
o
The race was a glowing success
from q racing standpoint, but some
thing like $500 was lost by the pro-
moters. All kinds OF reasons are be-
ing advanced for the poor attend
ance. Some say the race was too
near to the holidays, yet for years
the New York race was held on about
those dates. Others say the hard
times and still others contend thai
the prices were too high. Whatever
the reason, the promoters are not
doing any kicking. Mr.. Million was
in exceptional spirits last night. He
said he believed that Newark didn't
want six-day racing, but that ne en-
loved It immensely and didn't feel
as If he was anything out Of pocket.
He declared no was anxious to see
the race a success on account OF MS
manager, Mcfarland, who mad
worked SO hard TO mako tho event
winner. but personally he had no re-
grets to make. He said that the
riders had done a lot OF hard work
for little money and that wasn't
very happy thought. MacFarland
consoled the boys when paying them
off to the fact that the Chicago race
promised to be a big winner.
O.
The race drew. Il was learned to-
day, s4,727.5o. and Of this sum the
riders received a5 per cont, divided
into twelve team prizes figured out on
a graduated scale. Several Of the
riders also received bonus money
Goullet and Hill, the winners, got the
biggest share, OF course. but poor old
Floyd Krebs, who thinks ne might
have won the race If he had been in
good condition at the start. drew down
y1s and some odd cents for his share.
A few of the riders were peeved at
the small amount they received, and
some of them are not going to ride in
Bicycle riders are like base
ball players, they want theirs whether
It comes in at the gate or not. The
promoters, however, in both branches
of sport, are becoming more business !
like all the time. They are willing to
take a chance, but they are not will |
ing to suffer all the losses.
o
For the benefit OF those who would
like 70 know how the six-day race
drew the following table is presented:

It Will be observed that the gate
receipts kept going up. which
prompted Manager MacFarland to
remark that the next time he would
mako the race a two weeks affair.
O.
0ouiiet's wonderful ride 2s still
the talk Of the town, as is the dis
gushing treatment that he and his
partner, Hill. received. A few Cheap
sports" gave Newark q biackeye by
their despicable actions, but there
were many present who gave the
gallant little victor all the credit in
the world. No one with spark of
manhood in his makeup could hiss
and boo such a wonderful perform
snce as Goullet gave. We take 1t
that those who showed their teeth
opened wide the throttle TO their
character and their spirit Of fair
ness. AS for GoulIet himself, he said
he was sorry that he was not popular,
but that he would continue 70 be
gentlemen Just the same.

BROWNS "GYM" THE SCENE

Young Gradwell, the local light
weight, and Dave Kurtz, the New

show themselves tonight at Browns
Gymnasium, New York. GradwelI

boken, while Kurtz will have Silent
Martin to contend with. Both bouts
are limited to ten rounds. Gradwell
and Kurtz have been in active train
ing for their bouts, and they antici-
pate putting up a good exhibition.
Gradwell has improved in the past
year, and If he succeeds in defeat
ing Nelson decisively he may be
matched to meet Joe Shugrue. who
recently defeated Freddie Welsh.
Martin Is an erratic performer He
may be at his best tonight, though,
and give Kurtz plenty of trouble.
BoOnton Makes Fine Impression
Kid Boonton may box either Cal
Delaney or Phil Brock at Akron, o.,
In week. Boonton in a letter to his
brother-in-law says that he is doing
very well in Cleveland. though only
there ten days. On his arrival in
Cleveland Boonton asked Matt Hin
kle, a leading Cleveland sportsman,
to add him to his stable. Hinkle
turned him over to Porter Root, an
other Cleveland sporting man, stat
Ing that IL Boonton made a favor
able showing against the boxers In
Roots gymnasium he would get him
a match. Boonton tackled Raw
BROKER and Spider Kelly and per-
formed so well that Hinkle at once
decided upon him as a suitable OPP
ponent for either Brock or Delaney.
Brock was willing to make 1876
pounds at o'clock in the afternoon
for Boonton. Delaney, however, is
lighter and he may be awarded the
match with Roonfon
