JONES ' —|Goullet and Magin Win Six Day Race Seven Leading Teams Finish Long Grind Miles Behind Re- cord—Winners Lead as Racers Start One Hour Prize Sprints—Receipts ‘Are $90,000. 2 . Goullet and.Magin won :thesix-day bicycle race Saturday night at Madi- son Square Garden by taking the ma- jority of the sprints between tkte hours of 11 o'clock and midnight. Maintaining an even pace, with lit- tle attempt at sprinting up to the fi- nal hour, the seven leading teams-:in the twenty-fifth apnual six-day bicy- cle race, which closed in Madison Square Garden last night, Snished 250 miles behind the American record of 2,759 miles and 2 laps made by Al- fred Goullet and Alfred Grénda in 1914, when the field rode for 142 hours, two less than this year. Two Bel gians, Vanderbergh and. Vanderveide, were credited with covering 2,791 miles in the Brussels race of 1914, but the Goullet-Grenda mark is the accepted one in this country. The closing hours of the grind were the most-monotonous of the weck, ail the riders preserving their strength for the final hour of sprinting from 11 o'clock ‘until midnight. There was not a real attempt to steal a lap from 5 o'clock, until 11. George Chapman of .the tail-end team twice went out in_front, but was quickly overhauled. Remembering the sensational per- formance of Osear Egg, who, last year stole a lap two hours before the fin ish and won, all the riders were wide- awake and ready to frustrate any move.at jumping the field. The men were satisfied to trust to their sprint- ing abilities in the deciding kour, and the grind developed into a merry-go- round, with a steady pace of 18 miles an hour being_held. Goullet and Jake Magin, the favor- ite team, was ‘particularly ecautious. These riders stuck in the middle of the pack ‘where they could best watch eVery move of their rivals. They took no_chances of having their sprinting during the week go for naught by al- lowing someone to lap the field. Goul- let and Magin had a comfortable lead in points and they were determined to hold it. Even frequent offers of $10 for 10- lay sprints fafled to speed the riders up to.any great extent. They plug- ged along for eight laps of each sprint and then half-h spurted for the remaining two. Grénda, a mem- ber of one of the trailing teams, won the Grst two “primés,” while hia part- ner, Pete Drobach, accounted for the next two. Benny Leonard,. fhe lightweight champion pugilist, offereq $25 for a 5-lap sprint. Grenda won it, giving his team a total of §§5 for the eve- aing. Teants Leave the Track. At 1045 . m. the Grenda-Drobachy| team. which“was two laps behind. and the Chapman-William Eager combina- tion, jthree laps behind, left the track SATURDAY?S, MARKET Dealings Were the®Smallest Total of . Any Day of the Year. . New York, Dec. 8.—The very super- ficial character of today’s stock mar: ket may be gauged from the fact that dealings barely exceeded 100,000 shares, quite the smallest total of any day of the year. Many aective stocks were entire omitted from the trading list, opera- tions shewing extraordinary contrac- tion. The few noteworthy price changes represented . little else than the usual weekly settlement of out- standing contracts. Rails tended mostly lower, with ex- treme recessions qf a point in some of the Pacifics and grangers. Indust- rials were more variable, though final quotations showed numerous moder- ate recessjons. Brooklyn Rapid Tran- sit’s decline of 2 1-2 points to the new low of 39 3-4 furnished one of the day’s incidents, as did American Su- gar's advance of 3 points. ‘Actual .loans of the clearing house banks decreased by slightly more than $68,000,000, reserves also contracting by $53,000,000. The strength of francs was the only feature in foreign ex- change. Further weakness in French issues imported heaviness to the general bond list. Liberty is varied from 97.28 to 97.54 and the 3 1-2s from 97.78 to 98.90. Total sales of bonds (par value) aggregated $1,975,000.

Chic Brown, the New Haven- light- weight, and champion of New kng- land, is the first - Connecticat boy to get_a chance at a_ world’s title. Chic Champion Benny Leonard of New York at New Haven in a ten round bout before the Hyan A. C. and the New Haven boxer coukin’t have been given a more important assign- ment. . In . 1913 Al Ketchel of Bridge- port held Freddie Welsh safe for ten rounds, but Welsh wasn't champion. He beat Willie Ritchie for the world's title the following year in a 20 round fight in London, o Brown's engage- ment is far more important than. was the engagement kept by the Bridge- boy, who was knocked out a year ago by for the Connecticut | u;mweigh: championship. After the. state title to Bat- | Dme-team’s tling Kunz of South Norwalk whpnlt"“"te"d Tin he broke his arm in the sixth round | of a bout in New Haven, Brown won | the New England title when he kno ed out Young Blades of Woonsocket, R. L, in_the in New Haven last month. Many Connecticut fans are hwking Brown to stay the limit against the champion, Leonard. They figure that a good left hander has a better chance egainst the champion than a fastand clewer right hander and that’'s whyv they think the New Haven boy Has a chance to stay.

CAMOUFLAGE IN FOOTBALL By .Sol Metzger, oCach Washington & Jefferson Football Team. Long before this great war came ajong and caused all football coaches to worry about their jobs camouflage had been invented by _these same coaches in the way of strategy. This j column has previously told of.the first i example, the criss-cross play used by {the Bliss brothers at Andever back in 1888, a deceptive play that beat Exeter. It has given a good many other examples as well. ‘There was the hidden ball triek zhu Glenn Warner's Indians worked Harvard back in 1905, a piay Warner himself has written full details of. There was George Woodruff's quarter back kick, which sprang into being in the - memorable ' Pennsylvania victory over Princeton in 1894, but which was so puzzling that if my memory of the tale the officials "even couidn’t ‘see And there was. my awn - personal attempt -at camoufiage 2gainst the. Cornell eleven in 1998. Playing end on-the Penn team there was a stage n the battle, with Cor- néll in possession of the ball, whan the Ithacans were nonplused as to now to attack. They had tried about every place but mine on the line, and without - success. With much camouflage and gusto I elled. at- theiy quarterback who was 2 ing what not ‘to ‘de,” “Send a play at me.” He did. Cornell gained twelve yards on the play. Since then I have rarely been led into using camouflage on the gridiron. , Others though, more suceessful. In fact college ath- letes .during and after thelr under- graduate days have beem strong ' oa camoufiage. Witness the story-1 just heard about Tol Pendleton, -the former Princeton 2ll-around athletic star. I got this story second hand so cannot vouch for its. accuracy, ‘as the bond salesman alibis, but so far as I know it is cor- rect. ' Pendleton ‘was a mighty good football man in his day and his en- trance - ipto aviation is pretty , good proof that he has abundant nerve and character at his disposal. "Well, a friend of mine who is train- ing for -aviation with Pendleton at Dayton wrote another friend of mine that Pendleton had made his first flight quite recently. He staved up-se long and eventually kept so close “to he field: that the instructors got i into their heads he counldn’t land. they got out am ambulance and a pair. auto’ and these proceeded* o 1ol low Pendleton in ‘his numerous - twists above the fleld. As'it turned out Pen dleton waschaving trouble in’ landing. Eventually, though, he.shut down.the engine and volplanea safely. to earth. o The lance and ul crew : the repair rushied to him to-find out. what fhe trouble had been. {Why, Pendle f The end run startsd | was {downed far across the field fifth round of a bnt.el'"" ; | have been |~ ical camoufiage I don't know what There is a noted referee in football the same being Tiny Mexwell, of-Ch cago, Swarthmore, Medico Chi, etc. Tiny played on about as many eoflege ! teams 25 mosg ~of- uS - kave - piaved ‘games.
