Return Of Rutt Adds In

Spring Race in Garden

Ore minute after midnight tonight
they viii be at it agair--those bike
nuts who make a living by riding
six days at stretch. The annual
spring grind. inaugurated year ago.
IS with us again.
Madison Square Garden has rum-
bled and rescE1oed TO the blow of the
hammer and the drore Of the saw

day noon the nine-lap track was fit
and ready for the knights of the
saddle an dths afternoon was devoted

This should be o-e Of the raost IL

prised of sixteen teams of two men
each. The management has haped the
various combinations with a view of
bringing together as closely as pos

Individually as represented in pairs.
1t will be no cut and dried siaecure
for any combination. Any one of the

before hates and animosities against
all things German had been engen-
dered, Walter Rutt was an idol with
New York's sx-day bike fans. Sew
eral times he visited these shores and
always he walked away with the lions
share Of the prize money.
When the war broke out Rutt, to
make good an earlier promise to the
Crown Prince, returned to Germany
and Joined the aviation branch of the
army there. The reckless daring he
had displayed awheel soon won for him
unusual notoriety. He was credited in

was builded around his name one of
those legends Of the charmed life often
associated with the war. He was
known as "the gray phantom" sup
posedly immune from injury. Sew
crel times Rut was reported shot down
and once he was reported killed. But
he survived the war without injury
Considered Dangerous Team
Rutt's last appearance here was in
1913 1t must be remem bered that
since then he has added eight years to
his athletic life, which. after the stern
activities CT flying five years, may be
expected to have taken great deal
out of him. But over in Europe they
regard Rutt and Lorenz as the most
dangerous possible combination for a
long grind such as the six-day race.
