Atlanta Entry in 300-Mile Grind
Can Make 80 Miles an Hour,
and That's Traveling.
I5\ W. S. Farnsworth.
\
\
Savannah motorcycle race on
Christmas day.
At least, that Is my way of thinking
alter having taken a. *pin on the
mudguard of the (Tate Cit\ .• entry in
the long 300-mile grind.
The name of our entrant t* Rets*.
Jr. Rider’s name is Hal Gilbert. To
gether they make the fleetest young
thing you ever saw.
livery motorcycle rider in this neck
of the woods knows Gilbert. Betsy.
Jr., needs an introduction. Get mo
have the honor of making you ac
quainted.
* * *
THIRST. Betsy, Jr., is a "Crane- V-
* lanta" motorcycle. L. S. Crane
\s the owner, and if the motor turns
out to be the winner of the Savan
nah grind, then starts the manufac
ture of more Betsy Jr.*
Mr. Crane is the proud owner of
the famous automobile. < »1<T Betsy.
Betsy. Jr., is Old Betsj’s daughter.
Second. Betsy. Jr., is th«' freakiest-
looking piece of machinery yours
truly ever saw. The engine looks
like any regular motorcycle engine
So do the wheels, spokes, handlebar*;
and seat, but the gasoline tank is
about tw ice the size of a regular Ian'
It holds over four gallons of gasolin
and nine pints of oil. Tnis means
that Gilbert will have to stop onh
once for gasoline and oil during t ie
long trip.
And Betsy, Jr., is going to be slio-d
with automobile tires, thus being .is
near puncture proof as possible.
• • *
B UT let me tell you about my ride
on Betsy. Jr. Gilbert, aided nn l
abetted by a long rope tied to Mi.
Crane*! car, was towed out Peach
tree to Dead Man s Curve, whero .•
tine street that runs over to llnwe.l
Mill road offered just the chance we
desired.
Gilbert told me to climb onto the
•mudguard (said mudguard will be
stripped when the big race is held)
and grab htm around the waist. Aft
er being towed for 100 yards by the
auto Gilbert Anally got his powerful
motor turning, and then dropped the
tope.
Off we went, whisEsing at a 75-m le
an-hour gait right off the hat. I l et
my breath at Peachtree and never p •
it back again until we hit Howell Mill
hut that wasn’t over a few second
Travel—say. we traveled so fast
Hiat I can’t remember a blooming
thing, except that I caught a glance
at the speedometer at one time and
► aw the little hand hovering around
the 80-mile-an-hour mark.
• * *
1 HAVE ridden behind Tex Kichar is.
* Arthur Chappie. Morty Graves and
other noted demons, but Gilbert ear
ned me faster than I ever want to
travel again on n motorcycle.
And paste this prediction in your
bonnet—Hal Gilbert is going to win
that Savannah race with Betsy, Jr.,
barring accidents.
McFarland May be
Suspended for Poor
Work With Britton
a »
• MILWAUKEE, W1S. Dec. 11.
Pavkey McFarland will not be given
another chance to get easy money in
Wisconsin by stalling through a tight
with any opponent of any weight, if
reports of coming action by the State
Boxing Commission are correct. He
is to be suspended for six months at
least, and more probably for a year,
rumor says.
Two causes enter into this proba
ble action of the State Commission.

A Knoxville Hunch for B. Smith
’Stove League’ Offers Outfielder
By (). I!. Keeler.
U TE lamp In ;i Knoxville nevvspi-
! per—the esteemed Sentinel,
unless the clipping boy
played us false that Billy tfmilh.
manager of the Cracker*, has been
the topic for a debate by the Knox
ville members of the Stove League.
That august body (meeting in De
cember), on hearing of Billy’s depar
ture for Washington and other points
East in quest of ball players, prompt
ly held a meeting, which considered
Billy’s needs and made certain rec
ommendations.
* • •
riRST. the Stove League cal •• 1
1 Bill's attention to the Knoxville
outfield of 1913 Messrs. Burke, Flunk
and Knox were regular and estab
lished members in good standing of th •
Amalgamated Order of Demon Slug
gers (inc.)—ami recalled to Lie
Cracker manager's memory tHr* per
formance of the said demons iti the
post-season series played with the
Crackers last September
It seems Bill was much impress'd
by the work of the outer gardeners in
that engagement.
* • •
CO the meeting of the Stove Leag :«
^ proceeded to inquire of Billy
Smith (by publication! why he didu .
take up the matter of ball players
with Knoxville instead of frisking
Washington and Barney Drey fuss.
“With Morley Jennings, Elmer
Lawrence ami a lew more Knoxville
players on his pay roll, Mr. Smitu
would have a real, live aggregation of
bMl tessera during the vocational pe
riod of 1914,” the meeting suggested.
And then it was added, by way *»f
amendment, that while the Knoxvii'o
bugs would hate to see either Air.
Clunk or -Mr. Burke or Mr. Knox !e-
part, or all of them, still they (the
bugs) wouldn't stand in the way of
the advancement of popular, hart-
working ball players
We will take occasion, to slip tit's
suggestion to Bill the first chance tvj
get.
* \ *
\U K notice that Signor KicoaiV.o
Hohlitzell has made formal ap
plication for the position of manager
of the Cincinnati Fleds. What we
can't understand is why a guy who
has played and played and played
with that bunch should deliberat ’v
lay himself open to a wallop like that
* * *
TPHKFtE Is some doubt as to where
* Fred Clarke wants Joe Tinker to
play on the Pirates.
“We already have the great st
shortstop in the game'' said Fred
erick.* probably referring to Wagner.
Maybe Fred wants Joe to catch.

pAN FRANCISCO . Dee 11 The
Willie RitcTHe-Tommy Murphy
lightweight championship battle
scheduled for last night lias been
postponed, but the general belief is
that these two lightweights will not
be brought together again at a later
oate. The fig;lit was tailed 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 135 pounds, ting-
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 yesterday, and
grew worse as the day wore on. He
called upon the doctor, who told him
that an operation was necessary, and
who performed it then and there.
"You * ;tn’t fight to-night.’’ said the
doctor, according to a statement made
by Ritchie.
"I must fight " said Ritchie. T will
uo the best I.can under the circum
stances."
"You had better pray for rain,” said
the doctor., And. sure enough, the
rain came.

Chicago Not After
Game With Harvard
CHICAGO. Dec. 11.—The Univer
sity of Chicago, through its board of
physical culture and athletics, last
night declined to meet Harvard in a
football game next fall. The board in
a statement issued after meeting, ex
pressed appreciation at the invitation
for a game at Cambridge, but decided
that it was not advisable to schedule
games with teams outside the “Big
Nine."
The decision is in line with’ the
spirit of the conference as informallv
expres.sed here at the faculty meeting
last week, when scheduling of inter-
sectional games was declared not de
sirable.
