 The dispatch also quotes Food Commissioners Crispi as saying that because of the addition of nearly B. Oo0,0oo people to Italys population by reason of the Austrian evacuation, further restrictions on food rations will be necessary.
 The large stock of food supplies accumulated will be insufficient, Com missioner Crispi believes, in view of this addition to the population along with the feeding of about S0O,0oo Austrian prisoners in Italy and the numbers of Austrians that are surrendering daily as the armies ot occupation complete their task.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 22.---Koh-i- Moor, favorite for the Yankee handi- cap, the stake feature of the card at the Bowie track yesterday, was badly beaten by Salvestra and Douglas z. The little black mare which won so many races on the New York tracks this fall led to the stretch ahd then quit, as she has done in all her races in Maryland. Salvestra, which fol- lowed her to the last quarter easily took command and won in hand by Q length and a half. Douglas S. beat Koh -i-N'oor for the place by two lengths
 The seven two-year- olds which started in the third event raced in a cluster for three furlongs. This un- usual spectacle here aroused a great deal of enthusiasm. Duchess Lace, the favorite, a winner of two races here, bolted at the head of the stretch and was pulled up. Drummond, which had been running third, then won easily, beating Athlone, a 20 to 1 shot for the place, by four lengths. Dohna, rated as the most consistent selling platter in the country, won the 4AAIA AeASO OdSAIy. IL WdS AlCA SCNOL10 victory of the week. During the seven days of racing at Bowie she has start ed four times.

the Italian quarter of the metropolis he developed his lightning powers. When he showed promises of becom- ing a classy boxer, Scotty Monteith took charge of him. The first thing Scotty did was to pull off a chisten- ing party, and Joe emerged duly tag ged Johnny Dundee. Since then he has travelled under that name, and is known from coast to coast as the Scotch Wop.
 Johnny has laid claim to the light weight championship of America, and there was nothing especially extrava- eant about the claim at the time. As Q featherweight the Italian fought Johnny Kilbane, the champion, to twenty round draw at Vernon, Cal, in 1913, and later fought Willie Rttchie, when the latter was . sner- ican lightweight champion.
 Jimmy Duffy, the pride of Lock- port, gave Johnny a narrow shave at Milwaukee early in 1915, but Duff fy outweighed the Italian over ten pounds. In the fall of the same year Dundee again outpointed his old en- emy, Joe Rivers the California Mex ican. They had previously fought two bouts. one in Brooklyn and the other in New Orleans. Johnny won the former on points, while the New ! Orleans affair was 8 draw. Dundee is a mighty fast fighter and always

BOBBY wALTROUR IS
 VETERAN OF THE
 BICYCLE RACING GAME

One of the best things about A six. day bicycle race, in the opinion of many sports, Is that there isn't any law which forces them to be among those present Lamping a bunch of tired cyclists wearily circlIng a track is one way to kill time and for those who like that sort of thing 1t is the sort of thing they will like, and that is all there is to It.
 When 1t Is alleged that the six-day game is deadly" however, it is evil dent from a perusal of the lists of cyclists who have taken part in the sixday grind that the charac acteriza- ton applies only to the spectators. Dozens of men have followed the game from five to twenty-odd years, and do not seem any the worse for it.
 The real veteran of the Grand Army of cyclists is the venerable pa triarch, Bobby Walthour, who has been travelling over the earth on a pair O. wheels for more than 25 years Whether he will take part in the great grind at Madison Square Garden next month is not yet dedn- itely known. The bicycle was con sidered an exciting and novel sort of machine when Walthour made his start as a daredevil cyclist in Atlanta Ga, away back in the last century He has been pushing the pedals ever Eince, spending the greater part o1 his time in Europe. Although the little speed merchant is crowding 45 he has been able to get about a much out of a bicycle as ever. While the bicycle racing game is evidenti. not as dangerous as 1t is sometime; alleged to be, there are many hazards for a rider as daring as Walthour The southern cycIist wears the slSil of three different men grafted on hi body to replace the cuticle he los in living up to his reputation as tn most daring and reckless of blk riders He has fractured his collar bone several times, and has sustain cd minor injuries in many other ac SidentN.

BAKER SCORES 1, THIRD STRAIGHT TRACK VICTORY
Star Runner Again Defeats Large Field in 1000
 Yard Race

New York, Nov. 22-Homer Baker, representing the Gillespie A. A., SCOT ed his third straight victory by win ming the 1000 yards handicap run at the games held in the 18th Regiment Armory in Brooklyn last night by the 18th Coast Artillery Corps and the 59th Over Here Club for the members of the 59th Regiment lover there" As Baker dashed down the stretch. and passed J. Ccariata, who finished sec ond, the big crowd gave him a great ovation.
 Bakers victory last night was even more impressive than the ones he scored at the 47th Regiment Armory and 23rd Regiment Armory within the last two weeks. He started from scratch, with Jack Sellers of the New York Athletic Club, holder of the 1000 yards Metropolitan title.
 AS the gun was fired Baker started after the handicap men. His pace was fast and Sellers could not follow it. Gradually the winner picked up the other runners one by one. He did not, however, cut loose with his usual burst of speed until half a lap from
 
 runners in front of him at this time. Coming down the stretch he fairly flew and finished ten yards in front of the second man. Ills time was 2m. IT 8-5s-
 Sellers ran a poor race and finished in fifth place. Perhaps this was due 10 his early efforts in the 100-yard handicap dash, closed to the members of the 18th Coast Artillery Corps. He ran three heats in the dash, winning the final from w. Vanderschuyst of the 7th Company by a scant margin. Sellers represented the 5th Company and started from the four-yard mark His time was 4-5 seconds. H. Brow ser, also member of Sellers com pany, with an allowance of one yard finished third.
 The 9th Company had the pleasure of seeing one of its members capture first prize in the three-mile inter- company road run which started and finished in the armory. He was A. J Rene, and he finished nearly a lar ahead of c. Scheffer of the 9th Com. pany. c. Spellman of the 1st Com. pany came in third, Rehe ran the distance in 20 minutes S4 seconds.
 An exceptionally big crowd trekket into the armory to witness the variou. events. Every seat was taken befor, the first race was run. It was per haps the biggest gathering that eve saw an athletic meet in the 18th Reg iment Armory, and many hundreds O dollars were realized for the member of the 59th, now in France.
 Among those present were 80 ma. zines, all wearing medals, from thu asaval Base Hospital and St. Peter Hospital. They were conveyed to tn, armory by private automobiles drive, by the Brooklyn Division of tn Women's Motor Corps of America under the command of Capt. Ogilvie As these heroes of no mans Ian marched across the drill hall the bi crowd whoopcd 1t up.
 Mrs, J. Stuart Blackton drove on of the cars.

SPORTING NOTES

The Cleveland American League club is well represented in Uncle Sam's army and navy. President James c. Dunn and the Forest City fans point with pride to a first lieu tenant, three second Ieutenants, four men in officers training schools, naval aviation cadet two naval re- serves, a sergeant a corporal, a me- chanic and four privates. Nine for mer Indians are in France. The Detroit Tigers have seventeen men in the army and seven In the navy. The Pirates lead the National League clubs with nineteen men in the ser vice, besides Marcus G. Milligan, a young pitcher. who was recently kill ed in an aviation accident.
 Two major league clubs may find themselves homeless before the cold and dreary winter sets in. It is ru mored that these two outfits are in financial trouble to such a degree that their landlords intend to put them out into the snow for non-pay- ment of debts If these clubs are evicted, 1t is not unlikely that their franchises will be sold to the highest bidder. The two clubs h question have lost big money since 1916 ana have reached the end of their rope. according to those who are supposed to know.
 Cess Willard has the odious dis tinction of being the only champion of the ring who has displayed signs of slackerism in aiding the prosecu- tion of the war and who has done next to nothing in promoting the vari- ous charities for, the benefit of the men who are fighting in France. Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight champion, has been fighting on the western front in Gen. Pershing' s forces; Pete Herman, the head of the bantam weight division, is in the 1 navy; Johnny Kilbane and Benny 1 Leonard. featherweisht and light 1 weight champions respectively, are serving as boxing instructors, and Ted Lewis, welterwe;ght champion, tried to ldo his bit. but was rejected be- cause of flat feet.
