SIX fill HEEL CRACKS
Great Race to Begin at Conven
tion Hall This Week.
WILL RIDE EIGHT HOURS ADAY
All the Siaris of the M:idlson Square
Garden Are Entered First Cash
2'rize I $1,300 Trach Will Not
Interfere With the Skating nt
Any Time.
Washington is about to liave a carnival
or bicycle racing, which, in many respects.
Kill be the most notable event of the
kind that has ever taken place in this
country.
The now famous six day race at Madison
Square Garden, New York, bids fair to
be equaled, if not surpassed, by the- sim
ilar race which will be commenced in this
city on the afternoon of December 28, at
Convention Hall.
All the record breakers of the recent New
York race are entered, among them being
Teddy Hale, the great Irish racer, and j
world's champion; Rice, of Wilkcsbarrc. the i
American chamnion. who finished inly -a i
few miles behind Hale, and other racers
equally famous. These cracks are already
beginning to arrive in the city,aecompanied
by their managers and trainers.
Manager Towers, or the lee Palace, went
over to New York to witness the Madison
Square contests, and while there he con
ceived the scheme of arranging a similar
race to take place in Washington. He at
once addressed himself to the lask and
with characteristic enterprise and energy
soon had matters tending toward a suc
cessful issue
BIG CASH rjUZES.
He found all the cracks willing to come
to Washington, and that willingness was
further increased by the fac thut the cash
prizes orfcred were even larger than those
given in th Madison Square races. Three
thousand, five hundred dollars in prize
money will go to the first five men
finishing, the winnerto receive $1,500, and
the others rjiims In proportion to the order
In winch they finish
Manager Towers does not intend to al
low the races to interfere in any way with
the skating patrons of the palace, so he
has made the noiel arrangement of placing
the racing track around the hall with
the inner edge resting on the ice, thus
allowing the skaters their usual freedom
of the floor with only slightly restricted
area. A bridge will be built over the
track so that the skaters may liave free
access to the ice at all times.
Another announcement which will find
favor with the public is that the usual
admission fee of 25 cents will remain un
changed. When it is known that ?2 was
tne price paid at the Madison Squareraces,
the difference will be appreciated.
The jame track used in the Madison
Square Garden rpces will be brought over
to Washiiigtoiiin sections, the only difference
being that it will be somewhat loss in
length, as there arc twelve laps to the
mile at Convention Hall, while in the
"Garden" there were only ten.
SOME NOVEL ARRANGEMENTS.
The track will be sixteen feet in width
and will necessarily have a decided slope,
especially at the turns. Iii6tead of the
judges, timekeepers, scorers, and other of
ficials occupying ttic inside of the track as
In the New York races, arrangements have
been made for their accommodation on the
big stage .at the south end of the hall.
The most important feature of the race
will be in The reduction or the actual
riding lime to eight hours per day. The
strain on the riders resulting from' long,
continued Tiding in the Madison Square
race was simply fearful, and it is very
doubtful whether there will ever again be
a race of suih punishing duration.
Under the eight-hour limit it is cer
tain that the races will be closer and
infinitely more exciting fo the specta
tors. Ked Reading, the "soldier" who
finished third in the Madison Square con
test, expressed the opinion to Manager
Towers that the winner of the race must
make at least a thousand miles during the
forty-eight hours of riding. That would
mean a Unve-niimstc rate of speed dur
ing the entire race, so it can be seen that
no lagging is anticipated, and there vrill
very likely be seen some of the greatest
riding ever done in any race.
The races will begin each afternoon at
o'clock and continue until 10 o'clock
In the evening, without s. moment's inter
mission. Promptly at 2 o'clock on the afternoon
of December 26 the report orlhe pistol
will start tbe racers on their great sprint
vnich will continue until 10 o'clock on
tbe evening of January 2.

all men who have won fame in the long
distance races. First, of course, is Teddy
Hale, the wonderful Irish rider who broke
the world's six-day record by more than
three hundred miles in the Madison Squaie
contest last -ek. Hio reniarkuble per
formance excited universal admiration in
the racing world. Although on his wheel
longer than any other rider, he was flesh
and strong at the end and finished the last
few miles of the race in a remarkable i
burst of speed. Rice, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., J
proved himself a mo.-r wonderful racer, j
coming In a close second to Hale and j
winning the title or American champion.
He won thousands or friends by his game I
riding in New York, and on his return to '
his home after the race, the entire city
tendered him an ovation like unto that
which used to greet the home-coming of
the victorious athlete in the Olympian
games of ancient Greece.
Though physically somewhat frail l,e
seems to possess almost unlimited powers
or endurance In the coming race the
struggle between he and Hale is sure
to le a battle royal.
Ned Redding, the "Soldier" rider from
Omaha, Neb., who finished third in the
New York race, is another famous racer, J
and he will make it interesting for Hale
and Rice.:
" SOME DARK HORSES.
Tony Plummer will bring bis entire En
glish racing jteam, which includes Hale,
Chappie, Lumsden and two dark horses
whose names will not be disclosed until
the last moment. Other riders of note en
tered are: Albert Schock, the former
holder of the six-da y record; Frank Waller,
the "Flying Dutchman:" Fred Forster,
the German racer; II. H. Maddox of
Asbury Park, N. J.; Peter Golden, C. W.
Aslunger and several others.
Probably the most wonderful rider of the
world is Tom Linton, the famous English
man, who ai11 daily go against the time
records at various distances, both paced
and unpuced. Linton holds the one, three,
four,five,seven. eight and nine-mile world's
records, and he has never ridden in better
form than at present.
Linton came Jrom the same town in
Wales which produced that other remark
able racer, little Jimmy .Michael, who has
been making such a stir by his recent
performances in the racing world.
SPRINT RACES SCHEDULED.
Eddie Bald, the American champion,
in his daily attemptb to fracture various
records, will be another great attraction
of the races. Like Linton, he will try
for both the paced and unpaced records.
A great deal of interest will be taken
in the comparison of the work of the
American and English champions.
There is a strong possibility that a
number of exceedingly interesting races
will be arranged between the various stars
during the program or the carnival. Star
buck, the Philadelphia flyer, who defeated
Linton during the Madison Square races,
will very likely meet the Englishman again
The entries for the six-day race will
close next Wednesday evening. It is
not yet known whether any of the local
racers will enter, but as t lie time for training
is so short it is hardly likely that they
will.
In securing this great six-day race with
the many famous entries, Washington has
gotten ahead of many cities of twice its
size that had been infected by the "six
dav"' 'eiei. the most prominent being
Chicago.
If the throngs which gathered at the
Madison Square races day and night will
serve to indicate the interest that is going
to be taken in the Washington event,
Convention Hall will not begin to accom
modate those seeking admission.
CAPACITY OF THEHALL.
Madison Square Garden had a capacity
of about twenty thousand people, and
this was - severely taxed, espec
ially toward tfce end of the content.
At the most Convention Hall will not hold
more than ten thousand spectators, includ
ing the skaters, after the track has been
laid, so there is a pcssibility of many
being turned away.
Washington Is a city or cyclists, for there
is . undoubtedly a larger percentage of
wheelmen in proportion to the popula
tion than in any cityor the country. This
being the case the interest in seeing the
j famous racers compete is sure to be very
1 keen from the btart to the finish.
High School Fqothall.
The Central and Business football teams
will play a game next Wednesday after
noon on Columbia Field. This game will
not count In the high school champion
ship, but there is a great deal or interest
taken, as the teams have not met this
season.

The surprise of the week In amateur
bowling circles was the manner in which
the Saengerbuud howling team ran away
from its field in the major league during
the past week and took the lead In the
championship race. This is the first
bcason the singers have appeared In coin
petition and their excellent woik against
the veteran teams, especially the cham
pion Carroll Institutes, is noteworthy
and the players are to be complimented
upon their splendid work.
The Carrolls will have to look well to
their laurels and defend them more strongly
else they will see them wrested
from them by the junior team of theleague.
The new league, composed of second or
reserve teams of the organizations, com
prised in the major league. Is a lively
youngster and promises to make its pres
ence felt in bowling circles. It will be
out for the championship of the District
and this it will make an effort to land,
nt the end or the season, when its leading
team will challenge the leader of the
jnnjor league. The race from now on
both between individual teams and leagues
will be unusually interesting.
COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB.
On next Saturday evening the Columbia
Athletic Club will hold its first athletic
"smoker" of the season. Among the fea
tures theie will be three good sparring
bouts by members or Pror Carter's classes,
and also three wrestling events.
The ladies' day held on Thursday after
noon was so great a success' that the
amusement committee reels encouraged to
hold another, an extra one, sometime next
month.
The next event on the card will he a
musicale, to which friends of the club,
ladies and gentlemen, will be invited. It
will be a high-class affair, and the uro
gram will include the best known talent in
the city. The evening of January 15 has
been fixed Tor the function, which will be
made a dress arfair
The next event, under the direction or
the bowling commute", will be either a ten
pinora five-back tourney .ipentoilubuiem
bers only. The nine-pin tournament, which
closed lust night, created or revived an'in
terest in bowling in the club, and that in
terest will not be allowed ti lag from this
time forward.
Tl,c members of Prof. CrosMey'a junior
class deserve special mention for the ex
eellence of their work on ladle-,' day. The
drills were worked off like machinery.
The ence with which Fran.: cle.ired the
bar at ten feet fiat in the pole vault
leads his friends to believe thai lie can
stand raising the bar at least two inches
more and clear it then. Tiie record he
broke was Dudley's Indoor record for the
club gym, and for the District for that
matter, and It stood two years at nine
feet, ten inches. Franz really cleared,
the stick at ten feet and one-half inch.
If he continues his present rate or improve
ment Franz will put up records so high
that few locals can hope to reach them.
Many or me members have gone to their
respective homes to .spend tho holidays.
CARROLL INSTITUTE ATHLETICS.
The b.isketball team is taking plenty of
pra tice lor its game, the first one with
the Washington Athletics; on next Wednes
day evening.
Big .Smith, the center of the team, is
very fond of the game and shows de
cided improvement in each practice game.
Rogers is a newcomer in the gym, who
is learning rapidly and is taking regular
class work. ' '
Jack O'Connor Is back and has again
taken up the regular work, and promises
to make a good all-around man.
" McAfee is one or the strongest youngsters
in the classns.
Crutchett and O'Donohoe are two 1 ard
workers, who arc doing-some good tucks
in tumbling, and will, no doubt, make a
hit in the annual exhibition next month.
Pror. Joyce Insists on regularity of
physical drill, and those "members who
take regular work show very plainly the
good results.
The league bowling team seems to lack
that degree or team work which made it
so successful in former seasons, and for
this reason each set bowls one strong game
and in the next falls down. Is it possible
that too many changes are made in the
team, or is it that the competing teams
are so much stronger than last year?
The loss of two games to the W. A. C.
on Friday evening was almost entirely
uulooked for.

shown in Its work id tho'lnfantry gauuon
Friday evening is the result of good, hard
training nnd a determination to keep its
present place in the championship lace.
Even a losing game is creditable when an
earnest delcrminatidiyto win Is shown.
Acting Manager andCapt. Ed. Roach de
serves credit for the manner In which he is
keeping the team up to its work.
It is the regret or all the club mem'jera
that Manager George A. Mansfield 1-as
suffered so long a siege of illness whilo
away on his trip through the N'ew Eng
land Stales. They are pleased to know
that he lias improved sufficiently to make
it possible to return here next week.
Pitcher Harry Cauliflower, who hus
signed to play on the Houston, Texas,
team, is doing his training in the club's
gymnasium. He has unproved so much in
his playing basketball that he lias been
advanced from the second to the first league
team, and he will undoubtedly strengthen
it considerably. He played the game sev
eral years ago, when it was fiist introduced
here in the Y. M. C. A., of which he wus
a member. He will also coach the basket
ball team up to the time he leuves here Tor
his post of duty.
Joe Henniger is improving greatly in his
playing, and has been elected captain of
the second team, and will probably be seen
on Ute first team ere the season ends.
He isSvell known as a good baseball pluj-cr,
and is among the best second base men here.
Casey is another player who promises
well. He is very active, and has good
knowledge of tho game.
Jean Gooding is another good player, who,
if he does as well in the game as he has
done in football, will be a valuable man to
have around. He was considered oneof the
best all-round players on the Orients
last year.
It will be seen that the club Is strong in
good playing material and able eyen at
this time to strengthen the team consider
ably. The boys-are already doing so well
that, win or lose, they will have the hearty
support of all the members.
The players appeared in their new uni
forms in their game with the Infantry
on Friday evening, and made a splendid
appearance. The uniform consists of white
duck "knickers," maroon and black sweat
ers, black stockings, and black belt, com
prising ihcclub colors. The uniforms, woie

th.it It will finish the 6eas.on there. The

It is probable that a series of home
and home games will be arranged with the
bowlers of the Baltimore singing clubs.
Harrold and Spiess are likewise earning
credit for their good, steady bowling.
Widmayer.Joss and Berens, in the open-

Itis quite probable that the Saengerbund
will take up the suggestion made here and
organize a ladies' bowling team from

GEORGETOWN 'VARSITY ATULETiCS.
Examinations are absorbing all the 'mer

or the session or December 22. Most of
the studeuts will go their respective homes.
Baseball, already spoken or, has been
taken up in earnest, and one warm after
noon of laj.t week the candidates took to
the diamond. Eighteen candidates report
ed, and these were divided up into teams
and played a game.
It was found thut Shortstop Reardoii, of
last' year's 'varsity team, still retained
his snappy playing and hit the balls as
bard and as often as ever.
Fleming was the only candidate for sec
ond base, and his excellent work of last
year stamps Wm as "fit"' Tor the position.
Smiley, of last year's reserves, also
put up a good all-round game.
Capt. McCarthy wa.s well pleased with
the work of the men, and believes that
with the assistance or a good coach, to lie
secured, that the team will be one of the
strongest in college circles.
Manager Collins has even at this date
nearly completed his baseball schedule and

and strength will outweigh the superior
skill of the Baltimore boy. ami that he will
be on his feet at the end of the twentieth
round, and Marshall wilt realise that
there ha.s been a fight.
