BRASSARD RACE
AT DROME TONIGHT.
Carman, BedeII, Lawrence and
Maddona Entered in One
Hour Race

The one hour record which Menus
Bedell. of Long Island. set few weeks
ago. will be in danger tonight when four
OF the best motorpaced followers in the
game meet in the Brassard one hour
race at the Point Breeze velodrome.
Clarence Carman, the worlds cham.
pion; Menus Bedell, the record holder:
Percy Lawrence, of California and
vincenzo Maddona, of Italy, will be In
the classic.
The Brassard hour race originated In
France and Is run as feature at all
tracks in Europe and America. The
winner will receive a gold armulet and
must wear 1t in every following Bassard
race until beaten. Then it passes to
the next winner. The rider receives
an additional bonus every time he re-
tains the armulet.
On Thursday night when Carman
won first place for America in the in
ternational race, he was clocked for
forty miles in fifty-two minutes and
fifty eight seconds. At this speed he
would have broken the record which
now stands at forty -four miles and
three laps.
Bobby Walthour, Jr., the son Of the
famous bike rider, will meet Frank
Harris in a special match race. two
best in three one-mile heats. Junior
Walthour, who has been riding In
amateur ranks only one year, won two
races on Thursday night.
In addition there will be two other
amateur races.

In the first inning Frank Welsh bore out Comics

Harris (who by the seems to go up in the pr when
danger threatens) forced run over the plate when he
passed Lebod with the bases clogged giving the aliens
their first tally of the p. m.

The White Sox refused to be beaten, in the ninth

Far From PessimiSt
WHEN it comes to pulling the optimistic stuff you
w have to hand it to Kid Gleason Despite the defeat
of yesterday the Kid is just happy and last
night, when asked who would win the pennant he
piled shortly:
1--WE win win.'
Gleason is almost certain Of coming through and has
few reasons for the public at large.
I'VE have very good pitching staff he said, "and
getting better every day Now that Kerr is in shape
and Faber has returned to his oldme FORM have five
mighty good fingers. Cicotte, Williams and Wilkinson
are ready and will compare favorably with any in the
league.
In addition, we have the best ball club on the cir
cult, and don't who knows it. We in a nice,
comfortable spot behind Cleveland and New York. and
when those teams themselves out fighting each other
we will be ready to step out in front That's the way
have the race figured out and players feel the
way about it.
SIN THE game today shall use Fdbcr and prove
to the fans he is just as good as in 1917, and
that's saying a tohole lot"

Right and Left Handlers
Look Alike to Babe Ruth

Babe Ruth is not showing any
favoritism toward either right or
left handed pitchers as he blazes the
trail to new home-run record.
Babes homer off Red Oldham of the
Tigers at the Polo Grounds yester-
day was the twelfth he has made
this season against southpaws, the
right handlers having yielded thir-
teen. Oldham is the twenty second
American League pitcher to join the
Ruth Home Run Club this season,
the others being Pennock, Harper,
Jones, Karr and Bush, Of Boston;
Williams. Kerr, Wilkinson and
Faber. of Chicago; Zachary, john
son, Carlson and Snyder, of Wash
ington; Leonard, Okrie and Dauss,
of Detroit; Weilman and Shocker, of
st. Louis; Bigbee and Perry, of
Philadelphia, and Myers of Cleve-
land. Babe got three home runs off
Herb Pcnnock and two off Claude
Williams. On this date last year
Babe made his tenth home run Of
the season, off Shocker at st. Louis.
He got his twenty fifth homer last
year on September 5, off Win Noyes
in this city.
