The Six-day Epoch

Dear Slr-The annual siX-day bicycle
race in Madison Square Garden Is upon
us again. and the usual hue and cry has
been raised in certain quarters again
about the severe tax on the riders, Can
the calamity howlers point to any one
disabled by the physical strain In way
that long. healthy sleep does not repair?
Take veteran Joe Fogler. He has been
n member of the winning team more
often than any other rider. and now has
bobbed up again. Yet Fogler doesn't even
bother to train for slx-day race. Just
rides into condition. he says, in the race
itself A rheumatic old man with weak
digestive organs might find the siX-day
grind beyond him, But the professional
cyclist thrives on it. marvelIng meanwhile
at the Marathon runner, the football
player and other super-athletes In other
lines. II. 7.
Six-day riding must be a life builder
rather than strain. We remember
cheering Bobby Walthour long before Ty
Cobb ever made a base hit. in the days
when certain keen observers were just be-
ginning to discover that young fellow
named Mathewson looked TO be quite a
pitcher. Yet WalthOur looks as young as
ever.
