Bv Harry J. (Jlriin.
(Atlanta's best motorcycle rider.)
S O you want to know how it feels
to ride "ninety miles an hour
standing on your head." Well, I
can’t say. In the first place, being
a new man at the board track game
I’ve never got up to 90 miles an hour.
In the second place the Atlanta Mo
tordrome hasn't got any top ho I
couldn’t ride on the roof. The best
done was to ride with my
H ARRY .1. GLENN, the local professional motorcyclist, is
shown in these pictures working out for his big races at
the Motordrome. The center photograph was snapped just as
Glenn and Tex Richards mere rounding a turn at an 80-mile-an-
hour clip. Glenn is expected to be one of the sensations of the
many meets scheduled during the next three months.

But that’s SOME EXPERIENCE.
* * *
117HEN Jack Prince* fame to At-
** lanta he grabbed me one day
and said, "Now ‘Arry I want you to
come out. and learn bow to ride on
my new board track at the old cir
cus grounds.’’
"All right,” T told him, "It’s easy
enough, isn’t it?”
"Aw sure. ’Arry,” he told me.
So 1 went out.
When I looked at the track I gasped
some. I’ve ridden dirt track races
all my life. I’ve turned absolutely
around on a motorcycle going sixty
miles an hour. I’ve skidded into
fences. I’ve seen my share of trouble.
But I’ll tell you right now I never
tried before to ride around on the side

Capital of Cole
Is Now $1,000,000
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 31 —
One of the best indications of the
health of the automobile industry is
the announcement made by the Cole
Motor Car Company, builders of the
Standardized car. that their capital
stock has been increased from $500.-
41(10 to $1,000,000. This gives to the
CcMe Company without qualification
the title of being the largest automo
bile manufacturer in Indiana.
The action was taken at a meet
ing of the Cole stockholders, Presi
dent J. J. Cole. Yice President S. J.
Kuqua, Secretary and Treasurer J.
F. Morrison. H. C. Lathrop of In
dianapolis. W. L. Colt of New York
and E. C. Frady of Chicago. The
meeting also brought approval of J.
J. Cole’s plans to double the Cole
production figures and to build a
large addition to the present Cole
factory. The increase in capital, pro-
and factory is due to the
•volumn of business which Cole has
had thrust upon him. For three sea
sons this company has oversold its
product, so that at the end of the
season orders had to be cancelled.
Thus far on one model of the Cole
production, the four-cylinder Model
50, over 1,100 motor oar purchasers
had to be informed that their orders
could nto be filled.
“Little” Six Comes
As Popular Model
*-»
Now that the six-cylinder car is
claiming almost universal attention
from the motoring public, it will be
interesting to note the arrival of the
'lAttlc" Six at # he sales rooms of the
Johnson Moto; Car Compan. The
"Little’’ Six is probably the most
unique car of this type on the mar
ket, being a flve-pasenger touring
car of 106-inch wheel base, and car
rying a six-cylinder motor of 30
horsepower. This car with complete
equipment, which includes an *-leo-
tric lighting system, lists $1,265.

BASEBALL LEAGUE TO
BE FORMED IN EUROPE
LONDON, May SI.—Richard C
Klegin, famous tight promoter, has
[just announced an international base-
i ball league, to begin playing the first
! week in June.
I Teams have already been formed in
; London and P;:ris, and tiie proposed
league will include also Berlin. Brus
sels, Copenhagen. Monte Carlo. Milan
and Nice. Klegin h:.« leas d the
Stadium, in London, and l.a? players
coming from the United States.
And
walls of a big old wash tub.
that’s just what they do there.
I ’LL never forget that first trial at
it.
Old Jack PH nee was there to see
the start.
"For Gaw’d sake, ‘Arry,’’ he said,
"ride it alow, SLOW. Just go fast
enough to stick on. You'll go over
the top sure. Go SLOW.”
Now the funny part of this board
track racing is that you cant go
slow. If you do, you break your
nock sure. For you have to get go
ing like a crazy thing for centrifugal
force to grab you. And until it does
you can’t stick on.
1 didn't know all that at first.
* * *
TJMNALLY they pushed me off. With
* the racing machines you can’t
start the blamed things without help.
They have to be hitting 30 or 40
miles an hour before they begin to
get busy.
1 got her going and rode along a
bit on the flat, letting her out grad
ually. It was fine. The track is as
smooth as a ball room floor and as
the thing is a circle there aren’t any
I turns—just one smooth, steady curve.
I tell you it was fine.
Of course, with the track clear and
j the motor running good I let her out
«a bit. Then, just as though some-
I body gave me a push, 1 turned out
a little and hit the first bank. That’s
just a little* old 15-degree bank and
going slow it was like riding cross-
ways down a mild grade.
It was great on the 15-degree
) boards so I gave her another kick and
, hit up some speed. There 'was an
other swerve to the right and 1 was
I up on the 30-degree part of the track.
1 without meaning to. That’s the fun-
, ny part of riding on the board. You
I just put on the speed and the ma-
j chine \\ ill find the place. The only
I trick is to keep it from jumping the
fence when it gets too fast. It takes
a MAN to ride ninety miles an hour
and stay on the earth at all.
1 kept to the 30-degree riding for
g few rounds and it went line So 1
put on a little more steam and, bingo!
—I was on the 58-degree track, and
running wild.
* * *
IY<> you know what 58 degrees of
“bank" means 1 mean YOU, the
man who is reading this story?
Take a walking stick or a yard
stick, go over to the wall and put
one end where the floor and wall
join. Hold it out so it splits the an
gle so it is equally distant from wall
and floor. That gives you an angle
of 15 degrees. Then make it steeper
by raising it one-third of the way
toward the wall. Then you will have
practically a bank of 58 degrees. Then
try to imagine yourself riding a two
wheeled buzz-wagon along that edge
and around in a circle—and doing it
at better than u mile a minute—for
if you don’t go that fast you fall off.
* * *
TT’S a fine game up on that fifty
‘ eight per cent, grade. It sure is.
If you go slower than sixty-five miles
an hour old centrifugal force lets go
and you go tumbling down to the
bottom—and that’s no joke at a mile
a minute. If you get flutter-headed
and go too fast you shoot off the top
or break an arm trying to keep from
it.
It’s no place for a nervous man.
But let me tell you the queer part
of riding it. You don’t realize that
you are standing off in midair like
the limb on a tree.
Instead it looks as though the whole
world had tilted over.
You seem to be riding on a flat
track—or perhaps like a squirrel run
ning around on the inside of a wire
wheel. You don’t see anything but
boards running on ahead of you. And
they haven't any more tilt t<> them, as
far as you can tell, than Peachtree
Road. After awhile you stand still
and the boards just race away behind
you—or so it seems.
Wonderful Jump
In Magneto Making
The making of automobiles by the
thousands has become an old story
and no longer occasions suprise, but
the making of the most complex and
important of automobile accessories
a thousand a day was not heard of
until the Bosch Magneto Company
completed its Springfield factory.
The dream of thousand-lot produc
tions has come true, and not only has
"1.000 magnetos a day" production
been realized, but it has been sur
passed.
Averaging a thousand a day since
January 1, the Bosch Magneto Com
pany . dually produced and shipped
over 1.789 magnetos from its Spring-
field factory on May 15—a magneto
every quarter of a second.

KOLEHMAINEN WILL NOT RACE.
NEW YORK, May 31.—Hannes
Kolehmainen has been barred from
the Coney Island Derby, a six-mile
scratch road run. which will be con
tested on Surf Avenue, on Thursday
afternoon. June 5. The chairman of
the athletic committee of the Citi
zens Committee of Coney Island is
responsible for the Olympic hero not
being invited to participate. He be
lieves that the Finn is too fast for the
field that will start and he would win
as he pleased.
MANY TURNERS TO COMPETE.
DENVER. Col.. May 31.—Many
Turn vereins through this coun
try will be represented in the inter
national comp'etitions to be held ini
Denver next month. *
r\HJS yej'r doesn’t promise to be
a notable* one in the Southern
League for slugging. Already,
with the pitchers Just beginning to
get right, the list of regulars who are
hitting .300 has been cut down to
eight; that is, the men who have
played In twenty games or more.
And looking at the other end of
the list, there are eight men who
have tttKon part in twenty games or
more who are batting below .200.
The figures up to Wednesday show
D. Robertson still leading the South
ern League, but since that time Tom
my Long has passed him. Robertson
leads In total bases, with 90. He Is
also the leading homo run hitter.
The honors for base stealing go to
Wares, of Montgomery, who has
grabbed off 21 in 44 games. If he
continues through the season at this
clip he will grab off 67 stolen bases
for the season, which is considerably
behind Jimuty Johnston’s league rec
ord.

WALTER JOHNSON IS IN
NEED OF A SECRETARY
WASHINGTON. May 31.—Walter
Johnson is really in need of a secre
tary. His mail has reached such pro
portions that it takes much of his
Jme answering it, and it would keep
a stenographer busy for hours to take
care of his correspondence.
Johnson receives requests of all
kinds. One morning this week the
first mail brought him over sixty let
ters. Boys and men write, some con
gratulating him on his success, others
complimenting him on his habits, and
still others for information as to how
to become great pitchers. Johnson al
lows none of these letters to go un
answered. He writes each corre
spondent a personal letter, giving him
such information as he may desire,
but it keeps him rather busy doing it.
"Folks who are interested enough
in the game and me to take the time
to write are entitled to a reply, and
I make It a point to answer them all,”
is the way Johnson sizes It up.
Hints That McCarty
Had Been Poisoned
Coast Fans Mystified Over Rumor
Telegraphed From Chicago Re
garding Calgary Go.
LOS ANGELES, May 31. Coast
sports were greatly mystified last night
over a rumor, telegraphed from Chi
cago, to the effect that Luther McCarty
had been poisoned at Calgary In his
bout with Pel key. No details were ob
tained.
McCarty won both his local contests
in clean fashion and departed in the
best of health. Among Los Angeles
people it was thought that McCarty was
an ideal champion and would retain the
•file for years to come. No credence Is
given to the poison story here.
LEAD PITCHERS
S EATON and Alexander, of the
Phillies, and Cooper, of the Pi
rates, are surely going strong
in the National League. Right now
they are bunched for the leadership
in pitching honors through the games
of Wednesday.
Here is the. way they stand:
G. W. L. Pet.
Seaton, Philadelphia
Alexander, Phila. . .
Cooper, Pittsburg .
Rixey, Philadelphia
Dickson, Boston . .
r-p>HE pitching lender of the South-
J ern League is Gilbert Price. But
• Gilbert hardly counts, as he
gets his leadership on the strength of
seven games, while he started in
thirteen.
The real leader is Bradley Hogg, of
Mobile. Ho has started ten times,
pitched ten full games and has won
eight of them. Summers, of Chatta
nooga, who has won 7 and lost 2, and
Coveleskie, of the same club, who has
won 9 and lost 2, are among the mar
vels of the league, for they have done
great work with a poor team.
Price Is the wildest man in the
league, with 51 bases on balls against
him. Foxen is the most dangerous.
He has hit 11 batters this season.
Coveleskie has the most strikeouts to
his credit—69. The wild-pitch record
goes to Brenton, of New Orleans,
with 8.
Here is the pitching dope of the
league:
