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 JELLICO LUMP $4.75 I PIEDMONT COAL CO.

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. M'FARLAND AND WELCH TO MEET FOURTH TIME NEW YORK, Dee. 7.-Billy Gibson, manager of the Garden Athletic club, is arranging for a bout between ’‘Packer” McFarland and Freddie Welsh, the Eng lish lightweight.

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; You will find that druggists every where speak well of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
