lama sports have been forgotten. During the game between Georgia ’ ‘fbch ‘and California at Pasadena on New Year's Day, one of the weird- aetplays ever seen on a srldiron wus uncorkéd. After the teams had been battiln} for some time with neither my megcls, the California centre,‘ grabbed hold oi u. loose ball and-rah well over half the length oi the lﬁeldtcward his own Koal line. ' Lom, of the California backs, chased ‘madly after him and stopped him only a yard or two from his own ﬁnal chalk mark. The.

is that he became confusedand ran in tho wrong direction. He wasyank- ed out oi the line-up following the safety, but returned to the game later and played brilllantly.~At first it was hinted that he hadbeen ‘hurt just prior to the run and that he was groggy.

Probably no one ‘felt fmore badly over the whole thing than Riegels himself. Coach NibsgPrlce did right in putting the youngster back into tho game after it was found that he hadn't been knocked cuckoo.

Chicago some three years ago, but the instances are few and far between on the gridiron. .

“Long Count" Barry, the fellow who omciated in the last Turmey- Dempsey meeting in Chicago, is an- other example oi how to become ia- lnous. While Barry's actions that night may have been oillclally legal. the fans-or many of them-will ai- ways chalk it down against Barry as what might be termed a “boner?

Many boners have been pulled in baseball, On numerous occasions base r ners have been known to pass other base runners on the paths This has been made possible through the fact that a runner will often put his head down low to gain speed and» fail to notice that a runner in fmnt of him has been overtaken. No boncr in the national pastime, however, ever will probably get the wide pub- licity and become quite so famous as ‘Merkleﬂs failure to touch second bass. That has stood long after the heroes oi that particular game have been forgotten and it will be handed down from generation to generation.

» Heat.

The ﬁrst race held by the Victoria Speedway Driving Club was held 0B Saturday afternoon on the ice oil Cut Street. The racing was good all the way through and close ﬁnishes featured every event. The ﬁrst class called was the Class B. Trot which had six starters, This class was. won by Johnny Walker, owned by T. B. Rogers, and showed real class. In tha ﬁrst heat after several scores the horses got the word, Johnny Walker going to the front, witch position he held to the ﬁnish. Ho was closely pressed by The Allie. with Royal Worthy third, Dapper Don fourth, Ever ‘Ready fifth and Verna Hal sixth.

Second Heat

In this heat Royal Worthy forgot he was a trotter and went away on the pace right out in front, with Johnny Walker trailing. Royal gwor- thy ﬁnished ﬁrst but was set back to flith position for pacing, Johnny Walker getting the decision, with Dapper Don a close second. In this heat Dapper Don showed his old time speed. In fact he was never better than at the present time. The Allie third, Ever Ready fourth and Verna Hal sixth.

Third llcat

Johnny Walker led from the start closely prassed by Royal Worthy to about one hundred yards from the wire when Royal Worthy blew up, Dapper Don coming on very fast ﬁn- ished second, Royal Worthy third, The Allie fourth, Verna Hal ﬁfth. In. this heat Ever ‘Ready was drawn on account of losing a shoe.

CLASS A TROT

This brought together four of the beat trotters that have been seen for a long time, namely, Captain Jack- son, the winner owned by Chas. Chan- dler, "Bingen Aubrey, Briar Mao and Grace Forbes. Grace Fol-bu was not up to herself as she had very m. tic work, but we look‘ for hor to b-v real good by next week. In the ﬁrst heat Captain Jackson went away to the front with Bingcn Aubrey about a length behind, Briar Mao third and Grace Forbes fourth. ‘This pc- sition they held until nearly to the wi when Briar Mac came very last beating Captain Jackson by about a foot.

Third Heat

In this heat the Captain and Bin- gen Aubrey had a great race right to the wire, the Captain whining oy a close margin, with Briar Mac hair a. length back, Grace Forbes fourth. Some of the drivers objected to the ﬂying toga worn by the driver of Cap- tain Jackson, and they claim that is what made the Captain "fly" so fast.

CLASS A PACE

Only two horses came out, DorolihY E., the winner, owned by Hugh Walk- er, and Nancy Todd. In the ﬁrst heat they went away on evcn terms and kept this position until about one hundred yards from the wire when Nance made a bleak, Doro- thy winning quite handily.

BY QUIN HALL I s

While many sport fans may still be under the impression that bike racing went out with mutton-leg sleeves and peg-topped pants, the racket is still ﬂourishing in many sec- tions of the country. The fact that a promoter named Chapman has mos; of the good six-day bike riders tied up with contracts may not get you nearly as excited as the promise of a half-holiday some afternoon fllYi. week. But ther-e are spots on the map where such a situation calls for a lot. of two-listed discussion and a six-day bike race sends great gangs of ustomers into arenas where they yell their heads off for their favor- ites until the wee small hours of the morning, when they wend their way P-i/Jmeward to the tune of milk calls dangling, from the sides of early de- livery wagons.

In the East, especially, bike racing is still one of the grand and glorious all-season sports, and there are al- most as many bike race fans as there are fans of other sporis. During the Summer the boys trundle out their two-wheeled steeds and go circling around a wooden track in an out- door arena. In the Winter they move themselves indoors and ‘specialize in six-day grinds. Many of the well- known bike riders of the country live

ln Newark, N. J., and as a. result Newark is pretty hot ova: their bike racing. New York City coma: in for its full quota of the sport and it is carried on there almost all season. Chicago comes in for its share of the long grinds during the Winter months and there are other places where the cyclists flourish.

So while the sport may not be entirely national in ‘scope, the fans are as wild eyed and rabid as base- ball bugs and (l-‘hapmiln has nursed the game along until the cyclism have a big following wherever bike racing is done and so the boys must come in for‘ a certain amount of distinc- tion. ,

Freddie Spencer and Franco Geor- getti are two of the most lwllular cyclists pedaling on the board tracks. Individually they each won honors during the Summer season and team- cd up they won the lost six-day race oi’ the yenl", the event being held at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Spencer, who copped the sprint title for 192B, and Georgctti who wears the motor-paced racing crown for the year, were looked upon as the class of the entries who lined up for that last grind of the year which took place the ﬁrst week in Decem- her. Between them they had account- ed for ﬁve victories during the threc

previous years and even with all this they were still youngsters and loci:- ed at the top of their form when tha bunch oi wheel pushcrs got away. During the December grind, however, they went illto a bad sllunp during the middle of the week and for a. time it look-ed as if they might be Qili.2.i.f.tll¢ running eniirely- It was rumored around the saucer that; it was a clash of temperaments- yep, even cyclists can be temperamental. so it seems-but whatever it was that caused the slump they yanked out of it in time to make up the ground lost and to win. ' . .

When that race, was ﬁnished i: was said by the followers of tho sport that, Georgetti would Jlever again enter a long grind; The Italian has amasscdouite a fortune in the wheel racket and fricieﬁs say he has ‘enough to live iii-comfort. But it's a. hard game to break away from and it is doubtful if Franco has seen his last. action on the saucer. Spencer leap- ed into vaudeville following the vic- tory and will continue to race,

No story oi cycling is complete without a mention of Reggie McNa- mara, the old iron man oi‘ the board tracks. Mac ls getting by now large- ly on his nerve and wits and it would seem that Spencer and Georgetti

have the call for honors in this par- ticular ﬁeld.
