PLANS Of SPEARS
ARE UPSET BY RAIN
Dupuy Will Remain Here An
other Week to Settle
Brassard.
NEW CARD NEXT SUNDAY

INV ShAD MA OllSDA1
Just when Bob Spears figured on
taking the Brassard from Marcel
Dupuy, so that the latter could icavs
for Chicago today in peace, gent
often referred to as Jupe Plivius
slipped the valve from the rain
sprocket yesterday, and all Rob's
good intentions. as we'll as a nice little
cycle race program at the velodrome,
had to be called Off. AS a conse-
quence Monsieur Dupuy was not with
the party of cyclists that left for
Chicago today to open the season at
Riverview Park next Saturday. Far
be 1t from the Frenchmau to depart,
taking his prize with him without
letting someone at least give him q
real good battle.
Maybe the rain was q most help
full little friend OF Dupuy's. He did
not even put on his raciliis togs, and
yet he drew down $50, the weekly
stipend, which goes to the rider hold
ing the arm band. Figuring 1t II
out, Dupuy was about the only ne
in the hired help of the sport game
around these parts who made money
yesterday. 1t was the original inten-
ton to have Dupuy go with the cy-
clists to Chicago this morning from
the Lehigh Valley station in this
| city, but as events turned out the
Frenchman will still have Bob Spears
! to worry about for another week.
The pair will ride next Sunday.
There will be an entirely new card
OF races for next Sunday, as many
of the cyclists booked 10 appear yes.
terday will have departed from this
, city when the next meet is held. The
tandem-paced race. which was sched-
uled between McNamara, Moran and
Clark, is off also, as Moran will COM
pete at the opening Of the Sleeps
head Bay track next Saturday night.
