Atlanta Entry in 300-Mile Grind
Can Make 80 Miles an Hour,
and That's Traveling.
Bv W. S. Farnsworth.
\ TLA NT A If 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
the long JOO-mile grind.
The name of our'entrant Is Betsy,
Jr Rider’s name is HhI Gilbert. To
gether they make the fleetest young
thing you ever saw.
Kvery motorcycle rider In this m* k
of the woods knows Gilbert. Betsy,
Jr., needs an introduction. Let ine-
have the honor of making you ac
quainted.
* • t
TCMKST. Betsy, Jr., is a "Orane-Ai-
* hints’ motorcycle. L. S. Crane
Is 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 Jrs. *
Mr. Crane Is the proud owner of
the famous automobile Old Betsy.
Betsy. Jr., Is Old Betsy’s daughter
Second. Betsy, Jr., is the freaklest-
looking piece of machinery yours
truly ever saw. The engine looks
like any regular motorcycle engine
So do the wheels, spokes, handlebars
and seat, but the gasoline tank Is
about twice the size of a regular tank.
It holds over four gallons of gasolln
and nine pints of oil. This means
that Gilbert will have to stop oniv
once for gasoline and oil during thu
long trip.
And Betsy, Jr., is going to he shoed
with automobile tires, thus being as
near puncture proof as possible.
* • •
B UT le? me tell you about my ride
on Betsy. Jr. Gilbert, aided an i
abetted by a long ropt tied to Mr.
Crane’s car. was towed out Peach
tree to Dead Man’s Curve, where a
line street that runs over to Howe‘,1
Mill road offered Just the chance w*
desired.
Gilbert told me to climb onto .the
mudguard (said mudguard will bf
stripped when the big race is held)
and grab him around the waist. Aft
er being towed for 100 yards by the
auto Gilbert finally got his powerful
motor turning, and the?] dropped the
rope.
< »fT w e went, w hizzing nt a 76-m!!e-
an-hour gait right off the bat. I lost
my breath at Peachtree and never g *:
it hack again until we hit Howell Mill
hut that wasn’t over a few' second
Travel—say, we traveled so fast
that 1 can’t remt rnber a blooming
thing, except that 1 caught a glance
at the speedometer at one time and
saw the little hand hovering around
the 80-mile-an-hour mark.
• * *
1 HAVE ridden behind Tex Rlcharls.
1 Arthur Chappie Morty Graves anl
other noted demons, but Gilbert car
ried me faster than I ever want to
travel again on a motorcycle.
And paste this prediction In your
bonnet Hal Gilbert is going to win
that Savannah race with Betsy, Jr.,
barring accidents.

Willie Ritchie-fommy Murphy
" lightweight championship battle
scheduled for last night has been
postponed, but the general belief is
that these two lightweights will not
be brought together again at a later
date. The fight was called off almost
nt the eleventh hour, anrKseveral 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, ring
side A
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'* nose bothered
him when he awolftf yesterday, and
grew worse as the dhy wore on. He

Some year8 ago a fan would say:

"Ah, yes!'* his friend would make

And wipe a teardrop from his eye,
And heave a long and mournful sigh:
"Old Honus Wagner's through!"
To-day ire hear the selfsame song^
"Old Honus Wagner's through!
The poor old gent is slipping fast. •
His day of youth and speed is past,
He scarcely has a year lo last—

That song will echo years from note.

And men will shake their heads and
