Starts Tonight
At the Garden
Fifteen Teams to Battle in
Grind-Governor-Elect
TO Fire Gun

The twenty sixth annual six-day race
which starts tonight in Madison
Square Garden will be the first real
international race held in five years
The worlds war kept away the leading
foreigners during the last four wears,
but at one minute after l2 o'clock to-
night Governor-elect Alfred f. Smith
will pull the trigger that will start
sixteen teams representing the cream
of the world in cycling racing.
These speed demons represent the
United States, Canada. France, Italy,
England, Ielgium, Switzerland and
Australia. Never before have so many
classy riders been entered, and never
IN the history of the six-day classic
have the combinations been so we'll
teamed and so we'll matched
In accepting entries the committee
used great care as to the physical con-
dition of the men. DR. Frederick L.
Flynn put the entrants through q
more rigorous examination than is nee
essary in the army. Dr. Flynn said
be never locked over more perfect
athletes He was particularly i'm
pressed with the French riders who
have been battling the Boche.
Several New Faces
There are a number of new faces in
this years grind. Gus Lang, who an
nexed the amateur title last season.
is making his debut with Lloyd By
ron, the amateur champion of Austria
ha- as a partner. This is considered
the dark horse" team of the race.
N
Year. with Jake Magin as a partner.
Mcnamara is known as the "Iron Man.
who suffered an Jury a week prior
TO last years event and was compelled
to stay out. Magin, his team mate,
shared the winning honors with Goul-
let last year
Frank Kramer is back again, as the
others will find out when the sprints
are on The seventeen time worlds
champion wants to win this race and
then retire He requested to be learned
with Marcel Dupuy, the French whirl-
wind and there never was a greater
combination of speed in six-day
grind
The newest sensation is Henri Ger
wig, fresh from the battlefelds of
P1cardy and Flanders When not carry
ing dispatches riding through bar
RACES, Gerwig during the rest periods
has been defeating the best in Europe
In sprint and long distance races in
the velodrome in Paris He has been
teamed with Willie Keller, the great
est plugger in the East.
Bob Spears is with US again, and so
are Verri and Madona, the noted
Italian speed merchants
The French system of scoring points
IN sprints will be elaborated upon.
There will be two hours of continual
sprintng every afternoon, and at
night these demons will be fighting it
out for points for three hours. |

Haze Mr. Taft Handcutfed

OOKS if the boys who organized base
ball have succeeded in throwing William How
1-% ard Taft into the discard. The former Pres-
dent Of the United States, in interview given out
at Dayton, Ohio, yesterday, declared he would under
no circumstances accept the position Of baseball COM
missioner for the two major leagues, for which Office
he had been suggested.
Baseball may we'll deplore it's loss for the name of
Mr.. Taft would have proven a great buwark in time
Of serious doubt But Mr. Taft is to be congratulated
on the wisdom Of his decision Till the game is rid
of the barnaces that nfest it, it is reasonable sup
pose that instead of elevatng the national pastme
his pedestal the drag might have smirched the fair
of Mr.. Taft
Baseball history is replete with the ''boners' of
those IN control of the sport. No more damaging
brief could be drawn against the autocrats marked
for slaughter than the mouthing nothings thew emitted

Cavanaugh' S Battery
Did Some Good Work
On the F iring Line

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Nov. SO
Major Thomas F. Murphy, of Dorches-
ter, just back from France, speaks
glowingly of Captain Frank w Cava-
naugh, Battery z, 1o2d Field Artil-
lery, famous Dartmouth football coach.
"Why, GAYS battery was wonder
full exclaimed the major. "He had
that near-perfect teamwork in his
guns that he had in his eleven. He
handled his artillerymen just as he
handled his football players. They
thought there never was another cap
tain like Cav and he knew that there
never had been another such battery
as his.
"He was master of football, you
know, but he knew that artillery game
just the same way. We got so we
could tell 'Cav's' battery. When it
came to laying down barrage we'd
say: There goes "Cav's" battery and
sure enough. it would be 'Cav's' bat
terry getting busy with the barrage.
For they had clean-cut, effective
style which was marvellous'

Loft Still Enthusiastic

e EORGE W. LOFT who has shipped his racing
~ stable to Havana, Cuba, for the winter meet
ing, has great faith in the future of the American
turf. few days ago at Bowie Mr. Loft tried inef
fectually to purchase the r-od colt Dunboyne
winner of the 1918 Futurity, from P. A. Clark of Bos
ton. An offer of $4,000, the highest price named for
a two-year-old in many years, spurned
Which would indicate. also of course that Mr.
Clark is reasonably assured to the immediate out
look for the thoroughbred sport.
Fitzgerald Leaves for Hauana
Chris j. Fitzgerald who will act as chief steward
of the one hundred days racing meeting at Oriental
Park, near Havana Cuba beginning next Saturday..
will leave for the island to-day with coterie of as
sistants, in order to prepare the way for the big
opening
tltz declared yesterday that there would be close
to thousand thoroughbreds in training on the island
this winter more than half of these having Just been
shipped from Latonia and Bowie.
The Havana meeting postponed for one week
because of the fact that Latonia shut off by the
epidemic of influenza at the start extended it's meet
ing to cover the dates. The Cuban promoters intend
to extend their meeting to make up this loss At
least one hundred days of racing will be presented
there. If the sport proves popular as now antic
pated the meeting may be extended over that
limit

sey, as was expected, made a rushing
tight of it from the start, but at no
stage Of the contest did he infiict any
material damage on Billy Miske. by
ms clever footwork and ducking, had
Dempsey continually missing, and it
was only IN the clinches that Denp-
sey appeared to be doing his hest
work
Now, in behalf of Billy Miske and
not from managementship critl-
clsm, l think. as do many other fans
who approached me after the bout,
that due TO the fact Miske had
clearly outboXed Dempsey, and that
al no time during the contest did
Dempsey have Miske in any trouble,
1T only fair and just. after a careful
analysis Of the fight, that Miske be
entitled to a shade
"Of course. this may appear as n
howl, II coming from one SO close to
Miske, but after hearing the various
views of people who had witnessed
the contest, had to write this letter
in all fairness to my bover. Yours
in sport JACK REDDY"
We viii admit that Miske outboxed
Dempsey in majority of the rounds.
Had he not done so he would have been
knocked out. 1t is the same PROPOSE
tion as man monkeying with buzz
saw. If be ducks and dances fast
enough to escape with his life we
would be inclined to think him a clever
fellow and lucky one but we would
probably give the decision TO the buzz
saw. As we have stated before, we be-
lieve that greater credit should go to
Miske than to Dempsey, because Il buzz
saw should always Outright q man, but
we cannot escape the conviction that
Miske would not have lasted ten rounds
against Dempsey on Thanksgiving Day.

Griffith Suggests Reforms

4 ND speaking of organized baseball Clark Griffith
manager of the Washington Senators, is pre-
pared to suggest to the big leagues a number of
reforms which, the face of them appear timely
and worthy of deep reflection These reforms are to
build around the three principal rules Of the funda-
mental government of the game-the rule, the
draft rule and the waiver rule.
The old Fox advocates the prohibition of purchase
or sale Of major players except by the waiver route
that waivers cannot be recalled; that the clubs work
under a. close player limit; that all minor league
players shall be eligible to draft; that club be
allowed to trade player; that the waiver price of
players in classification be the same amount
that clubs of the same class only shall have the priv
lcge of exercising waiver rights on a player with
whose services club wishes to dispense.
Elsewhere in these columns the Griffith ideas are
elaborated upon in detail. They radical indeed
but worthy of deep thought. Certainly reforms are
needed And Griths suggestions appear at least the
best solution to various vexing problems advanced so

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

If all managers of boxers were such
careful and restrained chaufeurs of
their typewriters as Jack Reddy, man
ager of Billy Miske, the St. Paul light
heavyweight, it would be perfectly safe
for sporting writer's to walk the streets
unarmed and without tin helmets be-
meath their derbies. But life would
also be decidedly less interesting, be
cause the lure of danger, always at
tractive to BRAVE man, Aunt FL
eanor Ann, would be removed ~~a we
Just DOTE on danger. Every night, be-
fore we climb into the hay. We as, our
selves: "Have we encountered danger
to-day, and did we meet 1t with un-
ftinching eye?'
We are moved to this philosophical
trend of thought by a letter just re-
ceived from Mr. Reddy, in which he
takes exception to our decision against
Miske in the recent bout with Jack
Dempsey at Philadelphia.
Instead of starting out with the pre-
sumption that anybody who decides
against his fighter is non compos
mentis (ah, what a gift we have for the
dead languagesD, Reddy argues the
matter in a voice that is low pitched,
but with great carrying power. He
writes;
November 90, 1918.
"Mr Fred Hawthorne, Sporting De-
partment. Tribune.
Dear Sir: wish to take cxcep-
ton to the reports emanating from
the Miske- Dempsey bout staged at
Philadelphia on Thanksgiving after
noon. 1t appears very much that
