If Bobby Walthour ever regains that lap he lost in the six-
day bike race it will be a happy termination of one of the
pluckiest fights ever made by any bicycle racer.
Walthour lost the lap on a technicality. When McLean, his
partner, was hurt he dropped in with John Bedell. Under the
rules of the game he was penalized a lap for forming a new
team.
And now, though he is 'Outriding every man in the race and
pulling away from them like a real express train passing a
Southern R. R. flyer, he is being robbed again and again by
another foolish technicality..
It seems that there is a rule in six-day racing that if a
man falls off his wheel or there is an accident of any charac
ter, a red flag is displayed from the stand and until the flag is
pulled down no laps may be stolen.
This is a fine rule—when all the men in the race are sports
men and on the square. If half a dozen of the crack men should
go down in a collision which was no fault of theirs, as they
might well do, it would not be a square deal for some second-
rater to bo allowed to swipe a lap or two while they were getting
themselves and their bikes in shape to continue the race.
But a lot of bike-race crooks in the present six-day race are
taking advantage of this rule to keep Walthour from regaining
the lost lap. When Bobby shoots out in front, as ho does several,
times a day, they do not take the tronble to go after him. They
wait until he gets a half or three-quarters of a lap ahead and then
deliberately fall off their wheels.
Beyond picking up a sliver or two they are unhurt and they
find it easier to keep their places in the race that way than by
trying to stick with a man who goes at the awful pace which Wal
thour sets.

SIX-DAY RIDERS GO OUT ON STRIKE

1,750-9.
New York, Dec. 14.—The six riders to a man have gone on "strike.”
The trouble Is over the decision rendered early this morning.
The riders claim they are unable to tell exactly where they stand, ow
ing to the Inability of the officials to properly count the laps the men made
In the sprint early today. They are stundlng In with Walthour, claim
ing he should be credited with the lap he surely gained In the sprint. They
are riding around the floor, refusing to mount the track, until Pat Pow
ers arrives to straighten things out. The spectators are hooting and shout
ing and calling tor new officials.
ENTHUSIASM
IN CHARLOTTE
FAN8 ARE RAISING MONEY AND
HOPE TO BREAK INTO

Besides this class of contemptible work there is a consider
able amount of foul riding going on and this hurts the chances
of riders who are on tho square.
Unless some of the crooked riders forget to fall off when
Walthour has stolen a lap-or unless the officials of the race
come out from under the effects in time to give the Atlanta
rider a square deal, he has no more chance than a plate of vanilla
ice cream in tho southwest corner of Ilades.
Here’s hoping that the officials wake up and give Bobby and
his partner a square deal.
If they don’t they arc going to ruin tho nix-day racing game in
New York, for tho people of tho Big Town are as incensed
against the management and the crooked riders that the man
agement is protecting as are tho poople of Bobby’s homo town.

New York, Dec. 14.—The worst spill
since the starting: of the terrible six-
day (rind at Madison Square Garden
occurred early today on "Hoodoo Turn."
Vanderstuyft, tho "Flying Dutch
man,” was seriously hurt, while Hnpner,
team mate of Downing, was badly In
jured.
This spill wns the second In'24 hours
and Fogler, of the Little Old New York
team, was responsible for both.
The riders, with Breton In the lead,
wan setting a slow pace, when Vander
stuyft ahot ahead, and, like a ball from
a cannon, apod around tho course. One
by one the rldera In the van struck out
and a gruelling grind while It lasted
followed.
Root, tired after three continuous
hours on the track, shouted for his
partner, Fogler. In an Instant Fogler
was mounted and hot after the bunch.
Vanderstuyft was still leading, when,
nt tho "Hoodoo Turn” nnd exactly the
same plore where a serious • accident
occurred. Fogler, who had been riding
high on the track, suddenly shot down
In an attempt to get In behind Van-
derstuyft. While shooting down the In
cline his front wheel crashed with
Vnndorstuyft's rear tire. Like an ar
row, Vanderstuyft was hurled from his
wheel. The riders following were Hop- |
per, Pye, Coffey, Logan and Leon j
Georget, nnd they crashed Into one an
other. In an Instant their limp bodies
were lying on the track along with the
wreckage of their wheels, while the
trainers ran about like Insano men
nhnutlng nnd crying for help.
Vanderstuyft ns he shot from' his
wheel crashed head first against a
heavy stanchion at the top of the track,
snapping It off nnd falling Insensible
Into a box In which were several wom
en. Hopper ns he fell tumbled from
the track nnd rolled against the tnble
In ono of the riders' "camps." cutting n
deep gash In his head, which required
eight stitches to close It.
Vanderstuyft and Hopper were re
moved below. Dr. Creamer, the garden
physician, who exumlned them, said
that he believed neither man could ride
again.
Try to Mob Foglsr.
The spectators, who became aroused
at the foul tactlca of Root and Fogler,
made a rush for the rail surrounding
the track-side camps of the team,
threatening and hooting at them.
An angry crowd followed them Into
tlielr training quarters. That the accl-)
dent was the direct fault of Fogler, who
was also responsible for yesterdny's
accident, was evidenced by the fact I
that had he remained at tho top of the |
track where he belonged the accident I
would probably have been avoided.
Fogler is the foulest rider on the
track' and It Is said that the officials
are considering plans for forcing him!
to dult his foul tactics.
Five times Walthour and his partner
_ edell have gained a lap when on each)
occasion Fogler has deliberately turn-1
Mod from his machine, forcing tho of-1
flclals under tho rules to display the
red flag denoting that the gain did not
count.
Following the accident, a most sen- |
rational sprint took place, with Bobby : >
Walthour leading. In a desperate at- ! \
tempt to regain the lap he lost. The i
sprint lasted twelve minutes. The j

twelve thousand frenzied spectators
cheered the little hero to a man as he
spun around the boarded track at a
speed equal to that of the fastest
train.
After having awaited the opportunity
for three days, Bobby Walthour sud
denly broke from his rivals as they
were turning Into the Madison avenue
side of the Garden nnd he caught the
others off their guard, as he valiantly
but unsuccessfully tried to regain the
much-coveted lap.
Walthour shot ahead, and before the
others fairly realized it, he had gained
a half .lap. Jqhnny Moran, next to
Walthour the speediest and most dan
gerous man In the field, put steam Into
his little legs and finally overhauled
him.
Bedell, who at this Juncture relieved
Walthour, suddenly took the lead again.
Then followed one of the most gruel
ling paces of the race. For twelve min
utes, amid the shouting and cheering
of the speed-mad crowd, the rldera
spun round and round the track. Be
dell, three-quarters of n lap ahead, was
pedalling like mad. Like a pack of
hounds, Stoll, Breton, Clarke, Butt,
Root, Coffey, Downing, Samuelson, Gal
vin and Logan dashed after them.
