Four Riders In 62M2 Mile Event at
Point Breeze

The 1921 bicycle season in Philadel-
mia will come to close tonight at the
Point Breeze Velodrome with n 100
kilometer motor paced race. it being the
running Of the annual Worlds Cycling
Derby. Lots Of interest always IL CEN
tered in this annual 621a mile grind,
which is to have four starters this
evening.
Vincenzo Maddona. who has been de.
feated In his last two starts in races
with Clarence Carman as one of the
entries has been training diligently for
tonight's run. If nothing else, Mad
dona wants to defeat Carman. The
other two entrants are Paul Verkyen, of
Belgium, and Frank Cory, the Aus
tralian. All four Of these international
stars are great pluggers. and the result
may be n sprint from the beginning
until the final of the 62h miles.
Maddona has cut down Carman's in
dividual point score lead for the sen
son somewhat by winning race in
Boston this week. Clarence finished
third. A victory for the Italian cham
pion tonight might put him on even
terms with Carman.
Several amateur and Glass Il profess
sional events also are scheduled on the
program.
The season Of 1921 In bicycle com.
petition was great success. Several
amateur stars were developed, num-
ber of records were established among
these riders, while records also were
bettered in professional events.
