(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. I'v< .... . ...... ... ..— - body practically parallel with th ground. 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 L. 22 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. f. o. b. factory. Phelan. Chicago. . . 60 12 14 .233 Burns, New York. . 138 1 1 32 .232 O.

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.

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.

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.

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.
