1 sit) WORLD: ‘ / MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1903. SIDA RACE THs YEAR a Champion Eddie Bald Says Entries Are of a Higher Class Than Ever and a that Contest Is Very Open. By EDDIE “CANNON” BALD, Ex-Champion Bicycle Rider of the World, A merry-race is on at the big Garden, and, unless I am away off in my _ Wdgment, it’s going to be the race of six-day game history. We have seen © f00d rices in past years, but this one looks to be the best of,all. There are a number of reasons for believing 80, Look at the eniries. | Were there ever such a fast bunch gathered together? Nearly all are expe- | wlenced at the nerve-racking grind. Ps RAW MATERIAL IN OTHER YEARS. _ In former years we had raw material, as it were;, this time it's just the Take Gougoltz and Simar, for instance. Only an accident put out of it in their last attempt for the prize. Either can ride like the and it’s only a question of their standing the wear and tear on the ‘Walthour and Munroe have been at the game before, Walthour a win- two years ago and Munroe one of the runfers-up. Anybody at all familiar with the game knows Walthour's ability. He ‘ean go along with the best of them, and you can gamble, unless he has gone back, he'll keep the rest of the bunch hustling. P ie 0 SURE THING FOR LEANDER. » Leander, last year’s winner, is naturally regarded as the probable winner time; ‘but it is no sure thing for him or any one else. George is going ng and is well trained. He has improved since last year, too. He has "good partner in Nat Butler, but Nat is not a spring chicken. 1 could go down the list mentioning many others-that are entitled to the jideration of any one attempting to pick the winner. There are the Bedell Floyn Krebs and Petersen, Newkirk and Jacobeon, Galvin and Bard- tt, Keegan and Turville and others. All have a good look in in the strug- for the bags of gold. ‘The Buropean riders are by far the best that have ever come over for “FIRE” CRY MAKES PANIC IN GARDEN SIX-DAY RACE PRIZES. face, and don’t be surprised if one of these teams is seen Saturday night The prizes for which the eightcen| These suns, with the bonuses, train- ng every inch of the way on the final mile. teams are competing are: ing expenses and other incidental ex- the visitors are in better shape this year than ever.

When they finally did the trick during the second and third hours of the race I was not surprised, If the riders are still tied at the end of the first twenty-four hours, then “asensational week's racing can be expected. ‘The first day is the hardest on the men, but after that the strain does ‘Ot seem to affect them.
