Kramer, Joe Fogler and Walker
Left in Sprint Races; Riders Are
All Ready for Six-Day Contest
NEW YORK. Dec. 7.—The finals
in the indoor bike champion
ship oft he world will be run
off in Madison Square Garden to
night, with Frank Kramer, national
sprint champion; Joe Fogler, of
Brooklyn, and Gordon Walker, of
Australia, the only survivors of the
elimination races last night, in
whicli nearly 30 riders entered.
The whirr of the riders round the
saucer-shaped track, the bark of
the hot dog venders, the cries of
the gallery and all the other
sounds that go with the annual six
day bicycle race will soon be heard
In Madison Square Garden.
Before the last spectator at the
Gibbons-McGoorty bout had passed
out of the historic building, a small
army of carpenters entered the big
arena and built the big skimming
dish.
The contractor who built the
track was pledged to complete it in
24 hours, and turned the amazing
trick. This enabled the riders to
try out the boards before the crack
of the pistol sent them away in
competition. Counting the riders
for the endurance test and those
who took part in the preliminary
sprint races, the total is close to the
five-score mark.
The track presents a different ap
pearance this year from what it did
in the past. For one thing, the
banks are much steeper than here
tofore, and the sweep into the
stretches is much wider, rendering
the track safer.
Men in Fine Condition.
All of the international stars who
have been training at the Newark
Velodrome are in the height of con
dition. It is doubtful if ever there
was a better conditioned bunch en
tered for the big annual event in
cycling. The mild weather of the
past few weeks enabled the men to
NO BATTLE IN THE EAST
FOR VANDY NEXT YEAR
Nashville, tenn., Dec. 7.
The makers of the 1913 sched
ule for Vanderbilt apparently
have no intention of sending the
Commodores into a clash with any
of the big Eastern elevens next
year. It isn’t because they fear
defeat, or any of that sort of thing,
but an altogether different reason
is responsible for the idea of con
fining Vanderbilt's battles to South
ern teams.
When a contract was made with
Virginia to play in Nashville this
season, it was with the under
standing that the 1913 game would
be played in Charlottesville. Should
the Commodores fix a date for a
scrap with Harvard, Yale or any
one else north of Mason and Dixon's
line, the game would have to come
either on the Saturday previous or
just after the Old Dominion affair
The sharps who are framing up the
fighting dates for Vanderbilt think
that any such arrangements as
above would necessitate too much
time spent on Mr. Pullman’s justly
execrated sleepers.
There is still another reason
which may or may not have shaped
the committees plans. When the
smoke had cleared away at Bir
mingham and the Commodores
emerged with all save honor lost.
Coaches Manier and McGugin held
a hasty executive session ami
adopted resolutions declaring for a
return match next year right back
in Rickwood park. Os course, they
had a reason for preferring Rick
wood park to Dudley field. Cer
tainly they did. They were so
chagrined, peeved and bopping
mad they wanted to go back to
Slagtown ami literally beat the Au
burnites into smithereens. Maybe
the schedule makers don't know
anything about the coaches’ wishes,
and again maybe they do.
The game, financially, was a huge
success, and so it's pretty nearly
certain that the Commodores will
be seen in the Alabama city in a
return engagement.
The outlook in a nutshell is that
the Red ami Black team, of Ath
ens, Ga., will be allolved to tackle

Frank Kramer, the world’s eham
pion, will try to add to his laurels
this year by’ winning the indoor
sprint championship of the world.
This rider has won the American ti
tle twelve years in succession.
There isn’t an absentee of any
note whatsoever from the ranks of
the man who are billed to contest
the distribution of the prizes this
year. Although the big event Is
being held under different manage
ment it will not lack anything that
it possessed in previous years. The
incentive is just as great, if not
greater, and any changes that have
been made at all were made with a
view to benefiting the sport and
competition.
Record Field in Race.
The field this year! s larger than
any that has ever competed in a
six-day affair. All of the old fa
vorites are entered and there will
be several new faces in the field.
Many of the new men are cham
pions—that is. those of them that
hail from foreign climes.
the Comomdores again, very likely
in Atlanta. Sewanee can have the
Turkey day entertainment as long
as the Tiger cares to have it. A
few near-football elevens will be
provided in the early season to give
the Commodores a chance to work
the kinks out of themselves. And
Brother-in-Law D. McGugin will
very probably use his persuasive
powers on Brother-in-Law F. Yost,
so the hurry-up coach will bring
his Wolverines to Nashville. It all
may not be exactly like this, and
again it may.

BESSEMER FIVE
PLUES S. fl. C.
TONIGHT
THE first game of the 1912-1913
basket ball season in Atlanta
will be played tonight on the
floor of the Atlanta Athletic
club in the town house on Auburn
avenue.
The team which will face Cap
tain E. V. Carter, Jr.’s, five comes
from the flourishing burg of Besse
mer, Ala. To most people the town
of Bessemer looms up as a sort of
by-product of Birmingham, and the
idea that the place could turn out a
corking basket ball team is hard to
believe. Yet that very thing has
happened.
Not so much is known of this
Bessemer gang, except that those
who have seen them in practice re
port them very fast and past mas
ters at the noble art of shooting
goals and blocking plays.
The local club team has been
practicing for six weeks and has
been training more i igorously than
usual. Lack of training has been
the cause of most of the A. A. C.’s
weakness in years past. Than Joe
Bean there is no better basket ball
coach in Dixie, and no club offers
more or better material than the
local athletic club. The trouble has
always been that many of the play
ers were unwilling to undergo the
rigors of hard training, and in con
sequence were not able to stand up
under the hard gruelling of a long
game ’
This year Coach Bean has a lot
of natural athletes to work with,
men who are almost always in the
top-notch condition, and he has
wfirked them to the limit.
Dick Jemison will referee the
game, and Albert Blanchard will
umpire. The game will start at
8:30. After it is over, a dance in
honor of the visitors will be given.

Wolgast Proved Himself To Be
A Coward of the Lowest Type
WhenHeScented His Downfall
By Left I look.
WHEN Ad Wolgast lost the
lightweight championship
to Willie Ritchie Thanks
giving day, just outside of San
Fianeisco, he didn't go down fight
ing.
He quit, not in the true sense of
the word, but he quit /just the
same.
He quit because the pace was too
fast, and because he knew that
several more rounds would see him
stretched out cold upon the canvas
coveted ring, with the referee toll
ing off the fatal seconds that would
mark the end of Champion Wolgast
and the rise of Champion Ritchie.
Wolgast went to defeat with a
stigma to his name such as no
other fighter of :ecent years has
•received.
For ten rounds the little German
fought, lion-heat tedly anil unafraid.
Then Ritchie began forging to the
front, with the champion fighting
back viciously and with telling ef
fect, but in the analysis of the
rounds Ritchie had the shade.
Round after round Ritchie bat
t» red Wolgast with rights and lefts
to the face. His own countenance
bleeding, he tote after his crouch
ing- opponent, hammering him and
avoiding the come-back —that ter
rific left swing of the champion
that has sent many a good man
down and out.
”Go Get Him," Called Nolan.
Then the sixteenth round opened.
Wolgast’s face was cut; he was
tired, too. Ritchie was no better,
except that he appeared more eag
er. more willing to teat after the
title holder.
In one corner sat Tom Jones,
the egotistical, diamond-bedecked
manager of the champion, a look of
anxiety on his face. He saw his .
meal ticket slipping away from him.
in the other corner sat Billy Nolan,
the man whose advice, training and
generalship made the opportunity
for Ritchie to fight the champion.
Nolan wasn't worried, because he
saw his meal ticket coming to him.
Only the nerv.ous chewing of his
cigat showed the strain under
which he was laboring.
“Go get him," suddenly called
Nolan, sticking his head between
the ropes.
Bang! A fist shot out and land
ed with awful force alongside the
head of Champion Ad W olgast. He
went down like a shot, rolling over
and over, his body shooting under
the ropes to the spectators at the
ringside, who stopped him with
their hands.
“One. two. three, four," called
Referee Griffin, counting out the
champion. But Wolgast wasn't
finished. Wabbly, shaky, his bat
tered face and his bending knees
showing his physical condition, the
champion arose.
Ritchie Tried to Finish Ad.
Ritchie tried hard to finish him.
but Wolgast saved himself by hold
ing and stalling. Again Ritchie
sent the champion through the
ropes when he shoved him away.
Wolgast was hugging the chal
lenger to avoid a knockout.
Then, deliberately. Wolgast shot
his gloved hand forward and land
ed on Ritchie. The blow was below
the belt. Again the champion
aimed a punch; deliberately again;
