By W. K. Farnsworth. A tlanta i» going to come mighty close to winning the Savannah motorcycle race on Christmas day. At least that is my way of thinking after having taken a spin on the mudguard of the Gate City's entry in I he long 300-mile grind. The name of our entrant Is Bets,-, Jr. Rider’s name is Hal Gilbert. To gether they make the fleetest young thing you e\ er saw Every motorcycle rider in this ne* k of the woods knows Gilbert. Betsy, Ir. needs an introduction. Let me have the honor of making you ac quainted. * * • EMHST. Betsy. Jr., is a “Crane-A t- • lan ia" mot( i 1 ran is the owner, and If the motor turns’ out to be the winner of the Savan nah grind, then starts the manufu • lure of more Betsy Jrs. Mr. Crane is the proud owner of ’he famous automobile Old Betsy. Betsy, Jr., is Old Betsy's daughter Second, Betsy. Jr., is the freaklest- looking piece of machinery yout« truly ever saw The engine looks like any regular motorcycle engine. So do the wheels, spokes, handlebar* and scat, but the gasoline tank is about twice the size of a regular tank, j It holds over four gallons of gasolin . nd nine pints of oil. This men fl iliat Gilbert will have to stop onL once for gasoline and oil during t u* I long trip. And Betsy. Jr , \* going to be sliced ; with automobile tires, thus being us j near puncture proof as possible * » • B UT let me tell you about my ride on Betsy. Jr. Gilbert, aided an.I abetted by a long rope tied to Mr. • rane's car. was towed out Peach-I tree to Dead Man's Curve, whei ,« tine street that runs over to How e.I | Mill road offered just the chance wei desired. Gilbert told me to « limb onto the mudguard (said mudguard will b*» stripped when the big race 1s h<*ui) and grab him around the waist. At. er being, towed for 100 yards by t!< auto Gilbert finally got his powerfu’ motor turning, and then dropped the tope Off we went, whizzing at a Tu-m * an-hour gait riglit off the bat. I 1 » my breath at Peachtree and never g It back again until we hit Howell Mill but that wasn’t over a few secon i Travel say. we traveled so fast t dat I can't remember a blooming thing, except that 1 caught « glam • j at the speedometer at one time a ml saw the little hand hovering around the SO-mile-an-hour mark. * * • I HAVE ridden behind Tex lO har Iv | * Arthur Chappie.

The fight was called off almost at the eleventh hour, and several con flicting reasons are given The one most plausible is that Ritchie was overweight, too much so to get Mur phy’s consent to battle. If that is so. then it marks the passing of Ritchie as a lightweight, their weight for last night’s battle being 13.'. pounds, ring side Other reasons are that it rained during the afternoon, thus hurting the house; that Ritchie had an ab scess in the nose, and that the doc tor ordered him not to fight. It is said Ritchie's nose bothered him when he awoke yeatemlay. and grew worse as the day wore on. He called upon the doctor, w ho told him that an operation was necessary, and who performed it then and there. "You can’t fight to-night.” said the doctor, according to a statement made b> Ritchie. "I must fight.” said Ritchie "I will do the best 1 can under the circum stances.” "You had better pray for rain.” said the doc.or.. And. sure enough, the ruin cam \ for Sport Fans Ty GEORGE E.
