NEW YORK, Nov. 81. Harris

race last month In Chicago, and
who will be paired with Harry
Koran in the coming grind when
the new $5,O00,OO0 sports palace.
the New Garden, is thrown open
Saturday night, is one more son of
a six-day bike star who will be
peddling in his fathers footsteps,
Az it were. There will be three
such sons in the coming grind
Bobby Walthour, jr., Ray Eaton
md Harris Horder.
Bobby, jr., Is the son OF the
veteran Bobby Walthour, the famous
"Dixie Flyer" one of the greatest
riders that ever lived. Already the
youthful Robert bids fair to rival
even his dads fame. The youngster
has competed in seven six-day
races, won four Of them, finished
second in two and was forced but
Of one due to injuries.
Ray Eaton, like his father, Jay
Eaton, is a great indoor rider. Ray
has never yet won the title, though
he gained the honor Of American
champion In 1919, but each year
he has been we'll UP in the inter
national bike event.
Horder's father is still riding in
Australia, and was at one time the
champion Of that country and
ranked as one OF the greatest
sprinters ever developed in the
Antipodes. The son is one Of the
smallest riders in the game. In his
first race, parted with Harry Koran,
he finished in second place.
Horder will again be teamed with
Koran, Walthour with Freddie
Spencer and Eaton with Willie
Spencer. With three such riding
sons in the race, it seems likely
that one of this trio of famous
fathers will have the honor Of sec
ing his name in the van Of next
weeks six-day race.
