very much, nnd a big

Mr. "Wiley from Syra

now Is tho proud nnd
happy possesior of the

This trophy la much

All he ha8 to do now Is to keep on winning
races and tho coal bills for noxt winter
will take care of thcmsolves.
Rodo Hcndy Rnco
Wiley naa .tin easy umo in graooing on
tho honors last night, because ho rode n
htfcdy race and profited by the mistakes of
hl opponents. Clarence Carman, the
world's champion, wan stacked up against
him, while Bobby "Walthour and O. Colum
"' batto also had designs on tho first prize.
"Walthour was unable to finish hecauso of
' couplo of busted bikes, but Carman and
.Columbatto stuck to It until the end.
It was a wonderful Bight that greeted
the riders when they trotted out on tho
(board track. Some 15,000 spectators occu
pied scats abovo the arena, peering over
tin row of electric lights which was
stretched around the bowl livery seat In
the one-third of n, mile lnclosure was filled,
" which goes to Bhow that blcyclo races nro
quite popular In Philadelphia. Tho audi
ence was not as noisy ns n gathering at a
baaeba.ll or football game, but paid closer
attention to what wns going on. There
were thrills galore as the riders set a dizzy
.pice around tho circular track, nnd the
customers enjoyed every minute of It.
Track la Steep
If you can picture a huge glass bowl, with
bunch of athletic fllos running nround
on Its perpondlcular sides, you will get
an Idea of what occurred nt tho Motordrome.
The huge trade drops down almost straight
at tho top nnd then slopes to tho ground.
Tho motorcyclists uso tho upper part for
their races, whllo tho blcyclo riders nnd their
pacers stick closo to tho bottom.
The real excitement came In tho first two
races when tho motorcyclists performed.
It was a two-mile event, and It brought out
Henri St. Yves, the noted marathon runner,
aviator and Inventor of motoroycles, nilly
Armstrong, of Philadelphia, and "William
H. Vnndeberry, also pf this city . After
tuning tip their machines and flashing
round the track a couplo of times, the
starter dropped his flag and the raco was on.
Vandcberry n Victor
, Armstrong took the lead, and, riding on
the upper portion of tho track, which was
as straight ns the side of a building, shot
Ilka a meteor around tho bowl, with Vandc
berry closo behind him. They were going
at a terrific clip and outdistanced St. Yves,
who had engine trouble. Billy looked like
a sure winner until the last lap, when
V&ndebcrry let out a few links of speed he
had concealed up his sleeve and won by
a scant six Inches. The time for the two
miles was 1 minute 25 seconds, or on aver
age speed of about 35 miles an hour.
Herman Vedltz. anothor Phlladelphlan,
and leader for tho championship cup award
ed to the rider Bcorlng the most points In
the Beason, Increased his average by win
ning the three-mile race In 2 minutes 10
1-5 seconds, some more of that SC-mlles-an-hour
stuff. Vedltz never was headed and
won from Vandeberry by a good margin.
Armstrong had the ailing motor this time,
and was unable to start,
Big Race is On
Then came the big raco of tho night, tho
one-hour motor-paced event for a cash
prize and the Brassard trophy. Tho 15,000
motor bugs were all set for the race, the
motorcycle flashes Just putting them on
5ge. They discussed the various riders
, and waited patiently while a flock of at
tendants put out a small fire on the track
and Johnny Eckhardt told the entrants what
was expected of them. The audience even
listened to the mosquito-bitten band, which
saying a whole lot for the audience
Bobby Calhoun, the stiver-voiced an
nouncer, gave out the names of the athletes,
Referee Danny Trotter saw that everything
was in shape, "W. J. Trotter, the starter,
pulled the trigger, and the race began.
Carman, paced by St. Yves, had the pole.
Wiley, with Jimmy Hunter, was second ;
Bobby Walthour, with Morln, third, nnd
Columbatto, paced by Vandeberry, was
fourth. "Walthour, who has ridden on
every track In the world In the last 20
years, got away to n good start, with Wiley
t second, Columbatto third and Carman
fourth. The riders stuck behind their mo-
1 wrcycle pacers, increasing their speed as
they sped around the track.
' FM Time Made
A cyclist riding alone can make fairly
flood time, but when he Is behind his
t"5jicr'the speed 1b Increased 100 per cent,
The man in front acts as a windshield
2 M the rider behind can travel nearly 60
, rales an hour which Is going some for a
Jlf-propelled vehicle. Occasionally the
er loses his pacemaker, Is forced to slow
aown, and It takes several laps to get up
speed again. Losing a pacemaker Is the
, woret thine that can hannen in a motor-
?fC4d T"ce. and that one thing Is responsl-
" ior the defeat of Carman, Walthour
nd Columbatto.
- Walthour took th lenrt nnd was sjolnsr
l"Ood at th nrt nt thu nrth mlln noverlnir
the distance in 6 minutes 53 seconds. Car
dan, who was trailing the field, made a,
"Purt near the end of the fifth mile and
tried to overhaul tho. IaciHai. TTn mflda a

cCDDy Walthour held the lead at the

hard luck, lost Vandeberry, his puccr, and
Wiley Jumped Into tho lend, which ho held
to tho end.
Carman's Wonderful Sprint
Then camo the feature or tho evening.
Carman started out to overtake tho lender,
nnd did somo riding that never beforo 1ms
been seen on any track. At 30 Milieu ho
waa 12 laps, or four miles to the bad; but
ho did not falter. Ho put on a burst of
!pccd that was almost superhuman nnd
flashed around tho track nn If his llfo de
ponded upon It. Ho passed Wlloy several
times, nnd at tho end had mado up 6
laps, or nearly two miles, In 20 minutes.
Had he stuck to his pacemaker through
out, Carman would havo been nn easy
winner.
Wlloy rode n careful rncc, Btuck to
Jimmy Hunter throughout and covered
40 2-3 miles when tho hour was up, Tho
time was not even close to tho record
made by Carman, who mado 50 miles In
1 hour 3 minutes and 4 Bcconds.
Thousands of Autos
The Motordrome seems to have stnrtcd
a new sport In this city. That It Is popu
lar Is attested by the huge crowd that
packed the street enrs. automobiles nnd
every other known vehicle. After tho raco
tho streets were black with motorcars, nnd
resembled tho Camden ferry on Sunday
night. More than 1000 enrs wero p.trkod
In Tim Buckley's yard nnd others wero
lined up nlong tho road.
We were whizzed out to Point Breeze
In Mr. David Nottcr's car, and a pleasant
time was had both ways. Many thanks,
Dave.

WHKN' Fielder Jones launched Ma
Browns, neck deep In seventh place,
for their latest drive he must havo Indulged

yeari.
For It wnn just 10 Rummers aro that

Box at nil. They were down next to tho
foot, flopping along with a club batting
overage of .219,
And then something: happened. Beforo
they were checked tho Sox had won 19
straight gamea and were leading the league.
Ho, being In seventh placo failed to worry
Colonel Jones. He had been there before
late In July, only to win a world champion
ship In October, And If the trick wan not
Imposlblo then It la not Impossible now.
Tho lender and the ball club that refuses
to quit In seventh placo Is not to be treated
with any great amount of contumely or
Bcorn.
Tho lJig" Edge
If tho four western clubs In the Ameri
can League can rcmnln within close grap
pling distance of tho top through August,
they will carry a big advantage. For they

they will face easier competition through
the closing slrotch.
Suppose Boston starts "West In Septem

After a Record
In 1904 the Washington club tost 113
games, smashing all American League rec
ords for defeats In ono season.
Are tho wily Mackmen on the trait of this
record? With SO games left they still
have a chance not only to equal It but
to beat It by several strides.
At the rt the Mackmen hare been going
for tho last two months, they are almost
sure to drop 120 games before the agony
ends In October.
There Is still ono record that Is Still
safe. In 1899 tho Cleveland club lost 134
games. Connie will havo to sell or can
Bush, Myers, S trunk and Mclnnls to go
after this eminent mark.
The war of the Bed and White roses
has been over for a good many yeara, but
tho battle of the Red and White Soxes
still Is raging with Increasing fury.
