Bobby Walthour Is Home---All in One Piece
AFRAID OF MOTORCYLES, HE AT LAST RIDES ONE HERE
Atlanta’s Greatest Athlete to Quit Racing
Champion Bicyclist, With Barrel of
Medals and Lots of Scars toConfirm
Prowess, Will Enter Business Here
After 13 Weeks More on Track
By 0. B. KEELER.
Bobby Walthour, having played a man-sized part in putting
Atlanta on the map of the world, is éoming home to roost. All in
one pices, too-—and with none of his tail feathers pulled out
Bobby has been riding "em around, and around, and around
for nineteen yoars now. He is pre.eminently the greatest bicycle
rider and pace follower the game ever has produced. And he s
not sticking around in the game until they have to drag him out
When Bobby quits the big wood bow! stuff next full and opens up

visible eyebrows, light-gray eyes and
& complexion bordering on the cerise.
“And I've got a Roman athlete fig
ure,” Bobby admits, modestly. Cross
examination on this point brought out
the fact that cack in 1903 or there
about Atlanta had a Y. M. C. A, direc
tor who was nuts on symmetrical
{hydquu and had measured np some
mmm young men without get

Then he saw Hobby and fell upon
his neck.
“That was because my neck meas
ured 131-2" sald Bobby. “My biceps
and my calf also measured 131-2
That was the trick, you see-—those
three measurements all had to be the
same or you wouldn't do in the Ro
man art o

And the hundreds of thousands of
miles that Bobby's legs have propelled
him n-mamcwssmm
per hour have not detr ed a whit
trom their symmetry while adding to
their horsepower. .
“Oh, they aren’t so . large,” sald
Bobby. “That thigh muscle, now-—
it's like iron, isn't ft?”

“Now, what's it Hke?”

“Comes up right off the bone.” add.-
ed Bobby. “That's trained muscle.
Rubber can lift it so far off of me it
seems to belong to somebody else. 1
always look ‘lo see that he puts it
back where it belongs when he gets
through with it”
And to think that Bobby came 8o
near to losing one of those bheautiful
bread- winners, only last year!
Thirteen His Lucky Number.
“Gash that long,” and Bobby in
dicated. “Spiit clear to the knee.
Ugh! Looked at it and said to the
Doc: ‘Here's where 1 lose a leg—
what? Said I didn't care, too, be
cause I'd ridden enough. Tried to
laugh, but felt prettv sick about it.
Doc says no, he's going to sew me up.
Took twelve stitches. 1 says: ‘For the
love of Mike, Doc, make it thirteen!
That's my lucky number.' And he did.
“Fact about the lucky number, too.
Last four years my lcense in the
N. C. A. has been No. 13. They won't
glve it to anybody else-—and nobody
else is fighting me for it, either.”
But that wasn't the time Bobby wak
laid out for dead and declined to pass
on. That was—but let's get along
chronologically, as it were.
Bobby has been in Kurope ten years.
BEverywhere except in Germany he
rides “From Atlanta.” Europe (ex
cept possibly Germany) knows all
about Atlanta, because Bobby Wal
thour is from there.

(Germany insisted on claiming Bob
by, however, and in Germany Bobby
rode as “From Dresden.” And in the
instance about to be related it was
plamed lucky for Bobby that he was
not of the other kind of ware that
made Dresden famous.
It was a big track, near Berlin. Bob
by was leading the field in a terrifi;
dash, and a spectator undertook to
cross the track.
When they collected that spectator
he was all dead. Also there were bi
cycle riders draped curiously about
the arena. One of them was Bobby.
His forehead was split. His face was
not a face, but a smear. He was crum

Bobby is a little confused about the
rest of it but reasonably sure that
Mrs. Walthour was right in ber con
tention. Also that if Mrs. Walthour
hadn't been so sure he was not dead
he probably would have been for all
the help the doctors were xoing to
give him. Bobby doesn’'t recall the

suvs Bobby, and he is remarkably
cheerful about it, and says his terri
fic exertions in sprigts and mid e dis.
tance and six-Aay races haven't given
him the dreaded “athletic heart” and
that his lung® are fine, and that the
doctors say he is In perfectly sound
condition, and that, anyway. what
gives out in a tough race lsn’t your
heart, or your legs, or your lungs, but
(unromantically) yvour tumm:
' Was Afraid st First
“Don’t tell me it's a weak hear: that
cuts the legs off your last sprint.” says
Bobby. “It's your tummy. lil isn't
right, you're all wrong And when you
get scared it fen’t in vour heart: lU's
down in your tummy.”
Oh, and here's a funr y one
Bobby Walthour, king of all motor
pace followers for o doze, vears. nev
.-r got a-straddle of a motorgyele un
til this visit to Atlanta, when he
| thought he ought to become familiar
| with the goods he was going to sell
I always was scored of the blamed
l things,” Bobby confessed. and if you
| realize how uitimately funny that
, sounds you must have seen Bobby
reeling off the miles at a minute clip,
’!ho front wheel of his cycle just three
| inchies from the pace bar on the snort
' ing motor ahead. But Bobby insists
~—he was seared of the hinmed things.
' Has Thirteen-Week Contract.
“I liked it fine, after 1 got started,
though,” says Bobby “Same class,
sitting up there and watching the
!lund-cnpe slide under you, mile-a.
minute, and you not doing any work
at all--yves? Lord! 1 was telling the
Chief of Police what fun it was, and
he says, ‘How fast did you say you
m going” And T says, ‘Great
t!'—just like that You see, 1
wasn't thinking about the speed lim
its and whom | was talking to. But
he just laughed.”
So Bobby is stuck on his new hunch,
'and he is going to be some motorcycle
salesman; but first he has a contract
calling for thirteen weeks of racing In
Chicago. Philadelphia, Boston and
Brighton Beach, beginning May 25.
That will take him along to about Oc¢.
tober 1. And then it's Atlanta for
Bobby.
It's a cold fact—Bobby has heen a
good citizen of Atlanta, and he cer
tainly has advertised it. In 1304 Wal.
thour of Atlanta won the world's
champlonship at Crystal Palace, in
London. In 1905 Walthour of Atlanta
repeated at Antwerp, Belgium. Three
vears Walthour of Atlanta has made
himself champion of Europe—oh, they
know Atlanta over across the pond!
last year Walthour of Atlanta had
the bigges«t winning percentage of any
rider in Europe, and he made his get.
'away just two weeks before war broke
out, at that.
His Stamina Unequaled.
As athletics go, Bobby Walt Hour
probably will remain a flgure un
equaled for stamina and long-contin
ued success. Certainly no top
notcher in any sport has yet ap
proached his nineteen years of track
racing, sprints; dashes, motor-paced
middle-distance and Marathon eventg
of the wood saucer. -
You never would think it, talking to
Bobby. He's just a clear-cut, ruddy
faced, middle-sized young American,
with a big scar over one eye, a laugh
that is always set, and a penchant
’fnr talking about his wife and two
daughters (who wear in turn his bar.
rels full of medals) and his little son.
Oh, Bobby’s some family man, and
he's going to move the whole works
down from East Orange, N. J, as soon
as he settles his business arrange
ments here, and then he’s going to he
some business man, too.
But don’'t you ever forget that Bob
}by Walthour is the greatest bicyclist
| that ever lived, and that he was king
of them all when following motor
pace—the wildest game in the world
-—was at its dizziest.

had a severe eruption on my right side
which was about four inches wide and ex
tended half way around my body. It came
suddenly, was bright scarles in color and 1
felt as though | was on fire all the time.
The eruptions commenced exactly like
prickly heat and Jooked like it. 'They
itched fearfully. I couldn’'t bear anything
to touch me at all.
“| sent at once for a cake of Cuticura
soap and a box of Cuticura Olptment and
my relief dated from the first application ;
I slept that night for the first, time in days.
1 washed the eruptions well with the Cuti
cura Soap, dried them and applied the Cu
ticura Ofintment. [t was not long before
the skin cleared and no trace of the discase
was left.” (Signed) Mrs. W. W. Harblson,
October 27, 1014
