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.

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.

By \Y. \Y. Xaughton. 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. TERRE HAUTE SIGNS PLAYER. NEWARK.
