THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14,'1906. UP-TO-DATE NEWS OF SPORTING WORLD i 1 j BIG DOINGS IN RACE 1 EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING KIMHIHHIl i NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS !••••••>•••«••••••••• BY PERCY H. WHITING. 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. HOODOO TURN LANDS TWO MORE VICTIMS Vanderstuyft and Hooper Hurt in Early Morn ing Spill—Fogler’s Foul Riding Angers the Garden Crowd. SIX-DAY RIDERS GO OUT ON STRIKE TO GAIN LAP FOR BOB WALTHOUR * New York, Dec. 14.—10 A. M.—Score: All 1,751-2, except Bedell and Walthour, 1,751-1; Breton and Samuelson, 1,751-1; Galvin and Wiley, 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 SALLY. 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.

Course— man *9k 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.

O 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. Special *o The Georgian. Charlotte, N.
