By ROBERT
BOBBT WALTlIOUn, tho 30 year old
stripling who won the big C0-mlto motor-paced
race at Point Breeze Motordrome
last Thursday
night, wilt bo on
the Job again to
night to repeat
his performance
in the 100-k:lo-melor
race for
tho world's
c h nmplonshlp.
Bobby defeated
a very fast field
last week, but
Clarence Our
man was unable
to furnish any
competition ow
ing to a series
of accldants at
tho start, which
nut him nine
n. W. ItAXWELI. miles to the bad
at the end of tho tenth mile.
At that, Carmen rode a wonderful race
nd mado up several miles on tho leaders
beforo the fln'sh. Walthour maintained a
steady pace throughout, was not pushed
very much by Georgo Wiley and Dldlor and
won easily. Many of the fans believe that
Carman wpuld have won hands down had
the race been on oven, and they will have
a chance to seo It tonight.
Rode Abroad
Since the European war broke out two
years ago, tho tltlcrof world's champion has
been claimed by many. Heretofore, tho
winner of tho big international cycling
meet held In ono of tho larger European
cities each year was proclaimed tho boss of
the flock, but this ovent has been discon
tinued sinco 1913. Watthour won It In 1904
nnd 1905 at Crystal Palace, London, defeat
ing riders from 17 different nations. Since
then tho tltlo has passed back and forth
among tho foreign riders.
Carman has dono the best work on the
tracks this year, and ns ho has defeated
all of tho crack riders who havo been
drlvon out of their own countries, tho tltlo
should go to him. "Wiley claimed all of
the laurels last year, but his work In 1916
cannot compare with that of Carman's.
Howovor, tonight's rnco should decide who's
who In the cycling game, and tho winner
of tho 100 kilometer event wltl havo a per
fect right to claim anything ho wants.
Walthour Well Known
"Walthour Is the best known cyclist In
the world and has beon riding for tho last
30 years. He mado quite a reputation In
this country and afterward went to Europo

W. MAXWELL
ablo American." Thrco years ago In Ger
many ho rode for 17 weeks without losing
a race nnd topped the list of wlnnorn. Ho
captured tho championship of Kuropo In
1911. 1912 and 1913 nnd va3 tho favorite
In the 1914 classic which was postponed.
"Cycling Is a great sport In Europe,"
said Walthour, "and 1 am sorry that It had
to bo discontinued. You know, they don't
play baseball ovor there, nnd cycling takes
its place. It Is nothing unusual to boo be
tween 40,000 nnd 60,000 nt a cycling meet
and tho spectators seem to enjoy It more
then wo do baseball. Huge crowds also
turn out to Bee tho riders train. I remem
ber ono day In Lolpstg. Gormnny, when
8000 persona paid admissions to see mo
propare for a big race.
"Then there Is another thing that Is worth
mentioning. Tho blcycto factories and tho
tiro manufacturers aro kept qulto busy
turning out their goods, ns there Is a big
market for them. Thcso peoplo pay the
riders inoro to uso their machines and tires
In ono year than wo can earn In prizes
hero.
Business Picking Up
"Howovor, the sport Is picking up in this
country, nnd In a year or so I wouldn't be
surprised to see motordromes In every big
city In tho country. It certainly has been
a big success In Philadelphia this year.
"When will I rottro7 Well, thnt Is a dif
ficult question to answer. I nm Just ns good
as 1 over was, regardless of my 39 years,
and there nro many good races still left In
me. I don't fear any rider In tho world, and
Just watch mo tonight. If I draw n good
pacemaker 1 shall win suro."
Tho riders tonight will not bo allowed to
furnish their own pacemakers. Tho names
will be placed In a hat beforo tho event Is
called and tho rlder3 will draw for them.
Hunter, Morln and Stonhouse are In de
mand, and ono of thcso thrco should pilot
tho winner.
A cycling fan up In Boston believes Ma
donna, tho Italian rider, Is slighted In Phila
delphia, and takes his pen In hand to an
nounce that ho has somo real money to back
him against the world. The lotter follows:
Dear Sir I havo been following tho
Philadelphia races at the Motordrome for
the last four weeks, and huo come up here
(or a two months' stay. While at the
Motordrome hero at Itovero Ile.-ich. Wcdnea
day ntzht and Saturday night. I saw a per
formance that opened my eyes, an that was
the rldtne of tho llttlo Italian, Madonna.
I had a talk with him after tho roca last
ntffht and think that ho Is a wonder. 1
would bo willing to back him against Car
man or "Wiley In a fio-mllo race on tho
Philadelphia track for $1U0, oven money.
I havo been readlnic your articles on the
races In Philadelphia, and follow you very
closely, not knowlnir the manancmi'nt'a
name nt tho track, I thought I would wrlto
you direct. If this bet can ho taken, kindly
let mo hear from you. Respectfully yours.

with a timely single while Larry Doyle refused to don a Cubs' uniform until tendered n new contract calling
for increase in snlary. Now Doyle threatens to retire, but Heine, apparently satisfied with his new surround

but the server always managed to win un

In another love game and took tho second
set nt G-3.
In tho oarly games Johnson fnlled to
control his chop-stroke, tho ball, Instead of
Just clearing the not, hitting, a few Inches
below tho tnpe. It wns going finely In the
eleventh game, his delivery proving very
puzzling to the Brooklynlte. Voshell's net

with them he won the set, S-6.

games hand running, two of them on
Voahell's service. Ho varied his back
court gamo with occasional sorties to the
net and soon gained a substantial lead.
Also ho began to display somo of his old-
time knowledge of court-craft and general
ship. At 4-2 ho broko through Voshell for

After the usual sovon-mlnuto rest the
players returned to the court, and Johnson
took tho opening game on his opponent's
serve. He failed to follow up this advan
tage in the next game, and loose play re
sulted In a win for Voshell. Spurred by this
reverse Johnson repeated his first-game per
formance, again broke through and followed
up by taking his own service, and went into
the lead at 3-1. Voshell was deadly over
head and smashed repeatedly In the fifth
game, winning it at love.
Johnson had to rest a few minutes after
this gamo because of a cramp In his right'
leg, which came on him during an exciting
rally. Ho came back with renewed vigor
In the following setto and went Into the
lead at 4-2.
The next three games went with the serv
ice and Johnson led at 6-4, But Voshell
then broke through and evened the score
In games at 5 all. Johnson was consider
ably slower In the latter part of this set,
nnd many of Voshell's points were won be
cause Johnson was unable to cover as much
territory as usual,
Voshell had Johnson match point at 6-5,
40-15, when a net cord shot saved John
son's life. Ha pulled out this game and
then broke through Voshell to advantage

No-Hit No-Run Hero Picked
to Even Series for
Athletics
WHITE SOX FAREWELL
Connie Mack will hurl Leslie Joseph Bush,
he'of no-hlt no-run fame, against tho White
Sox In this afternoon's clash at Shlbe Park
In an effort to gain an oven break on tho
series. Itebol Russell, a giant southpaw, or
Melllo Wolfgang, the auburn-haired midget,
will oppose Bush.
Tho Athletics will leave for -Washington
after today's gamo, where they nro
scheduled for five contests with the Sena
tors, a double-header bo'.ng billed for to
morrow. Tuesday tho A.'s will return with
the Red Sox, and nfter the series with the
leaders will tako on tho Yankees for a set
of games beforo departing on the tlnal west
ern trip of the campaign.
Mack Is bent on gaining nn even break
wltn the pale-nosed athletes, but Bush will
havo a man-sized Job on his hands In dis
posing of either Russell or Wolfgang, which
ever hurler Rowland selects. It will bo
Bush's first turn on the slab slnco he turned
In his no-hit, no-run victory over the In
dians last Saturday and a regular crowd Is
expected to welcome the Bralnard bullet.
The A.'s usually perform like champions
with Bush on the knoll, and all Indications
point to a real tough battlo when the tenms
clash. The White Sox are not out of the
American League race, although Kid aiea
son Is on the coaching line every day, and
Bush will be forced to work like a trench
digger to hang up his fifteenth conquest.

Travers Won't Play
By SANDY McNIBLICK
GRAND potpourri of Chautauquas, re
vival meotlnRS, circuses or nny other
kind of an enormous outdoor (jatherlntf with
tents, crowds, parked vehicles and bo forth,
will bo tho nature of the scene for tho
next 10 days over the enormous arena
of golf lawn nt Merlon during tho national
championship.
Thousands of Bolf fans are expected to
flock to the courso every day to seo the
greatest golf giants of tho day In this
country do mighty conflict for tho season's
crown.
A hundred yards from the whlto, spread
ing clubhouse, shadowed by the trees, will
be nn enormous tent, and on each side of
It smaller tents. In these tonts It Is planned
to provldo meals for 400 persons at a time.
Like Home
The servlco will bo the same as that at
the llryn JIawr nnd other horse shows here
about. The service In tho big tent, which
will contain small tables, will be ns lino
ns that nt home, according to Robert W.
Lcsloy, chairman of the committee. Somo
most excellent menus will bo served, and
hero can bo had by both ladles nnd gentle
men a table d'hoto dinner.
Ono of tho small tents has been set aside
for ladles unaccompanied by escorts. Tho
servlco In tho other small tent Is n la
carte, sandwiches and so on being tho fea
ture. The clubhouse has been reserved for
tho players and tho committees.
No meals will be served there after 3)
o'clock, at which tlmo afternoon tea nnd
sandwiches can be had In tho big tents.
Everything Is being done for the com
fort nnd convenience of tho public, which Is
most cordially Invited by tho Merlon of
ficials to visit the grounds and follow tho
play of tho stars. Naturally there will be
no admission charged. Several queries
have come to this omco on that score and
thero Is no need of tickets, tnsa or any
other badgo of admission.
Public Cordially Invited
"Wo want tho public to feel that It Is
very welcome," said Mr. Lesley today. "We
believe It will be a great thing for golf In
this city to havo the people Bee tho cracks
and at the same time tho biggest tourna
ment of the country. The club 1b easy to
get to and wo expect thousands. Tho only
thing we ask Is that every ono be a good
sport and follow the directions of those In
charge of tho course."
No machines of members will be parked
on tho grounds and none will enter the
grounds. Even tho bus line to tho west
courso will start on the road near tho first
green. A large field across the railroad
has been obtained for parking space. There
13 no truth In tho rumor that Ardmoro
avenue will be closed during the tourna
ment. Machines, however, will bo requested
not to stand In the road during the play.
One hundred golfers from two huge
committees for the handling of tho throng.
Fifty of them will represent the Golf As
sociation of Philadelphia and tho other
BO tho Merlon Golf Club. They will have
charge of tho ropes of the many galleries
following the play and are being drilled In
their duties. They are expected to be
efficient enough by Monday to be sworn
Into active service.
Paralysis and Caddies
The caddy question has not bothered the
Merlon committee In the least. Most of the
boys will be Merlon's own hand-picked dele
gation, raised on the excellent Merlon caddy
system, and there is expected to be little
If nny trouble due to the Incompetency of
caddies. Tho closing of the schools will
Insure n full quota, and It was said that
Infantile paralysis quarantining would not
affect the situation In the slightest.
The starting officials will be under a
largo tent canopy at tho first tee, and there
will be another canopy at the eighteenth
green, where Is located an enormous score
board on which all the scores of both courses
wilt bo placed. Scores made on the west
course in the qualifying round will be re
layed over to the east courso by motorcycle
ut noon and twilight.

Jesse Guilford, the longest hitter, sup
posedly, In the country, was playing a much
better brand of golf yesterday than ho has
yet shown the galteryi Tho husky New
Englander Is looked to do better than ha
did last year, when ho survived only one
match.
Travers Too Busy
Jerry Travers, four times amateur cham
pton of America and onco open champion,
will not be In the going for tho amateur
championship this year, but It Is likely that
he will be seen In action on Saturday of
this week. If ho Is able to get away. In the
American Golfer trophy .matches.
Travers Is to bo married very shortly, but
the chief reason why he won't play for the
crown Is that he is a cotton broker, nnd tho
cotton market has been very excited lately.
Jerry cannot break, away for the necessary
10 days.
It Is not expected that Bob Gardner's
Injury will keep him out of tho play. He
will not let his title as present champion go
by default unless It is absolutely- necessary.
B. Warren Corkran, a Yale rooklo at
Tobyhanna, will bo hero Saturday to team
up with his brother, Douglas. Both boys
nro very popular hero and their play has
Impressed locals greatly. The CoVkran pair
should make a strong bid for the' American
Golfer trophy.
Douglas Corkran had a large part of the
gallery at his heels yesterday. The gallery
was scattered all over both courses,- but It
has reached no llttlo sire, despite the early
season.
Corkran played against Sherrllt Sherman,
semlflnallst for tho title last year and fam
ily kin of the late "Jim" Sherman; Vice
President of the United States. George
Morse, a champion of New England, and
II. E. Kenworthy, of Massachusetts, were
the others In tho match. Morse played the
best shots of tho four on most ot the holes,
despite the fact that he Is lame.
Corkran could not putt within a mile of
the cup except on the 13th, when he holed
out a bird from 30 feet away. Corkran
came hero with much hope, for he has had
six successive rounds In Baltimore of not
worse than 73.
Morse is paired with A. II. Smith, who Is
also lamo, In the qualifying round.
Max Marston and Frank Dyer chose the
west courso yosterday, nnd found it full1 of
pleasant surprises.
