HOUR BIKE RECORD
IN DANGER TONIGHT
carman Likely to Get Figures
at Drome in Brassard CIas-
sic-WaIthour to Ride

The one hour bike record will be in
danger tonight when four Of the best
pace followers in the country compete
In the Brassard classic at the Point
Breeze Velodrome. Clarence Carman.
Menus Bedell. Vincenzo Maddona and
George Wiley are the stars in the fea =
ture.
Carman has been riding in remark
able form recently, having won all three
of the international races within the
last two weeks, and he Is the favorite
to land the honors tonight. It would
not be surprising to see him set new
figures for distance in an hour limit
time. The record which now stands is
forty four and half miles. It was
made by Menus Bedell In the early part
of the season.
The event tonight Is the first Of the
annual Brassard affairs. The Brassard
race originated In France and is run as
an annual feature at all the dromes In
this country and Europe. The win =
ner of the event Is rewarded with a
gold armulet, which he is compelled to
wear in every following Brassard race
until beaten. The emblem then is
turned over to the next victor.
Carman, Bedell and Maddona have
been riding here often of late. but this
will be the first appearance of George
Wiley in some time. Wiley has been
riding in great times on the Providence
track and should show at his best
against the field in the Brassard.
There is considerable interest being

They're Getting the Hitting,
Fielding and Pitching,
Says Connie, after Third
Straight Victory
BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK

"YoU want to know why our club
4 has been winning?' asked Mr.. C.
Mack. after the question had been put
to him. well. II tell you. We're
winning because we're getting the pitch
ing. we re getting the hitting and we're
getting the fielding. That's the an
swer."
And that is just what has happened
to our AS. The pitchers are coming
through-and ball club always looks
better when the iiurlers are good-the
boys are laying on the old horsehide
and their fielding resembles the play we
saw at Shibe Park in other days.
The Macks won their third straight
game yesterday-which incidentally ties
their record for the season-and they
had everything that the gaunt general
said they had.
Rommel Shows EN-
Ed Rommel stood the Tigers on their
ears and the other hired men socked
Dutch Leonard opportunely. They col
lected only seven hits of the southpaw,
but they came in the pinch. The infeld
worked like a charm when charm
charms, and the outfield also came
through with some nice catches. Frank
Welch had the only error Of the day,

off his finger. e.
Rommel showed lot Of stuff against
the Tigers, and he looks like the pitcher
Mack said he was. The youngster was
master at every turn and was particu-
larly strong with men on. As an exam
pie, Chick Shorten started the fourth
with double and was sacrificed to
third. with Heilman and Flagstead fol-
lowing, It seemed virtually impossible to
prevent score, but the situation didn't
faze Rommel in the least. He went to
work on Heilman and famed him. Then
he started on Flagstead and caused him
to lift fly to left, which Tilly Walker
smothered.
Chick Galloway was the hitting star
of the afternoon, and II he keeps on
slugging the ball he will not remain long

smart game at the short field.
Jimmy Dykes, Fred Thomas and
Griffin, as we'll. played snappy ball

humdinger. In the second. Veach drove
one to his left and some distance over.
1t was terrific clout. and Dykes just
had time to take one step and jump.

hand. and the force of it knocked him
off his feet. but he held on to the bulb
Yes. they're getting the pitching and
the fielding and the hitting. That's
why they have won six out of their
last eight games.
