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. McFarland May be Suspended for Poor Work With Britton MILWAUKEE, W1S .

S an' FRANCISCO , Dec. 11.—Tile 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.
