 0F SlX-DAY RACE
Veteran Sprint Champion Finds
 Going Too Tough

New York, Dec. 6.-Things hap pened in the six day bicycle racc in Madison Square Garden yesterday Shortly before noon Frank Kramer retired and left Oscar Egg with lota of enthusiasm but no partner. Tom Bello, who with Madonna had been riding along a lap behind the field. promptly offered to quit to permit Madonna to team with Egg. Egg and Madonna resumed the grind two laps behind the rest. Last night. shortly after 10 o'clock> the first big jam of the race sent the house into an uproar, and after the whir o! wheels had slackened and tho hub bub had subMded 1t was announced through the blanket of tobacco fo8 that Chapman and Eager had been Tapped. ,s
 Goullet started the speed soiree last night with a sudden cannon ball burst that gained a quarter of a lap. Magin relieved him. Then sprint followed sprint with Egg and Madonna reliev- ing Goullet and Magin at shooting the gaff into the field. At times the riders were strung out the length of the track. After keeping up the dizzy dervish dance for twenty min utes the field settled down again.
 Goullet and Magin continue to leaA in the Berlin points with Hill-HAnley i and Corry Madden teams pressing them hotly. & The reserving of their efforts for the Berlin sprints still Is causing the 1 riders to maintain slow average pace and to drop further behind tho record. All attendance records ara 1 going by the boards, however. last night one of the largest throngs that ever witnessed an event in the Garden 1 was damned into the building <

CAMP UPTON BOYS
 RACE FOR PRIZES
lMoEe Than 10000 Enlisted Men
 md Officers Enjoy Games

Now York, Dec. 6.-Camp Upton, s 1he New York city National Army
 cantonnnent at Yaphank, had a gala day yesterday when the New York
 Athletic club stood sponsor for divi-
 atonl athletic games at the football
 Held which, in camp parlance, is at X Fifth avenue and Sixth street.
 M0re than 10000 enlisted men and on.cers formed hollow square around the field, and within that sqpare more than 1,500 athletes com- < peted in half dozen events. They all
 avoIe the olive drab uniform of the A frmy and they made an inspiring
 picture as they stood cheering and yellln1 for more than three hours while their company and regimental tAarns fought and struggled for su- K ptSmacy.
 Nothing like it in the nature of an X akhlGtic meet has ever been seen in pthiS country for the competition was
 the wholesale. Twenty-one men X @ in the various heats, and in the g ne-yard dash. for example, there N ore seventeen heats, each having N Twenty starters, making up a total E field for $40. r
 But so well was the meet organized \ hy Frank Click, civilian director of < akhlNtics, and the representatives of aNlbA New York A. C., Matt Haplin, Ar thur AcAleenan and Paul Pilgrim. K that It went through without a hitch. The competitors lined up in columns ISS0k four, awaiting the starts of the E Various events, and as soon as one batch had been eliminated another moved up to take its place.
 The enthusiasm of both competitors and spectators spoke volumes for the
 splendid work the New York A. c. has done and is doing for the soldiers, and indicated that 1t was thoroughly appreciated. In fact so enthusiastic < WNfe the men that the officials of the club are considering holding another \ set of games next week or the fol- lowing week. They will make an an- nulncement of their decision within a day or two.
 The regimental championship was captured by the men of the 306th Infantry. who scored a total of 57 points and took the gold and silver challenge cup presented by the club. The 3OSth Infantry was second with 34spoints and the 3O6th Field Artil- lery third with 26. All the prizes offered for both individual and team z 1E0Nu10S were or the nlSQeSL Qudilty.
 Thomas Carroll, 9 private in Com-ad pany K of the 306th Infantry, was the victor in the 150-yard equipment race. Carroll demonstrated how easy < 1t Is to get into ones uniform, dnce one knows how, for it took him only M minute 47 seconds to dress himself in shoes, tunic, leggings, hat and cartridge belt and to pick up his rifle and them run 75 yards to the finish line. Sergeant w. Cote of the Head quarters Company of the 304th In- fantry, was second.
 Arthur Engels of the supply com- pnny of the 308th Infantry, who was one of the most promising young
 murders ever developed under the z wings Of Bernie Wefers, fairly burned { up the course in winning the 100
 yard dash in 1 4-5 seconds. Ths race
 was run on hard ground. and the time
 was fast, all things considered. John Jones of Company E of the 30slh In- ! fantry was second.

War Tax on "Sllells'' to Be One of

War Tax on 'Sllells" to Be One of Many Subjects Coming Up for Dis
 cussion ct Baseball Conclave.
 Chicago, Dec. GA uniform method of collecting the war tax on passes to baseball games it was said today would be one of the many subjects to come before the joint meeting here on December 13 of the club owners of the two major leagues. arranged at conference last night between August Hermann, president of the Cincinnati Nationals and chairman of the National Commission. and B. B. Johnson, president of the American league.
 Tn order to avoid confusion and congestion from an attempt to collect the tax on each pass as presented at the gate, the suggestion was made during the conference between the two officials that $6.16 be collected in advance when each pass is issued at the beginning of the season. That would be at the rate of cents for each coupon. In case a passholder does not use all his coupons it is pro- posed to turn the balance over tc the Red Cross at the end of the sea son.

 Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 6.-Rowing Gt Harvard is now at standstill. The advisory committee has decided to close up the varsity boathouse until after the Christmas holidays. This decision was made as a matter of economy. The heating of the build ing, for one thing, would cost con- siderable.
 Early in January candidates for the freshman and informal crews will re- port at the boathouse for voluntary drill on the machines in the rowing tanks. Coach Bill Haines is to be in charge, but the university manage ment has not yet rendered him a con- tract for spring rowing.

Philadelphia, Dec. 6.-The Univer- sity of Pennsylvania Athletic Associa- ton announced yesterday that it had been decided to hold the annual relay carnival next spring as usual. The final races will be held the last Sat urday in April, unless unforeseen events should cause change in the date.

MAY DROP PENN
Michigan Hopes to Arrange Contest With Minnesota in Preference to Bob Folwe1re CharKcs.

Bob FOlweu'e Charges.
 Ann tArbor, Mich, Dec. 6.-It is probable that the football elevens of Michigan and Pennsylvania will not meet again next fall, although this annual game has been popular with both colleges. The announcement that University of Pennsylvania au- thorities are trying to substitute d game with Georgia Tech is the cause of some satisfaction here.
 It is understood that Michigan hopes to play Minnesota nnd Ohio State next autumn and that the scheduling of these games would make a game with Pennsylvania in- possible. Because of the many cour- tesies shown Michigan by the Eastern college the members of the Michigan athletic board of control decided to make no official announcement until the matter is threshed out with the University of Pennsylvania officials.
 It is believed here that the first step to clear up the situation, and therefore to help Michigan arrange for important conference games next season, has been taken by Pennsyl- vania.
