By Alex. Sullivan, HASING epeeding automobdilists im his capacity as a motorcycle cop has developed Bugene Walker into a potential world's cham- pion of the epeedways, This young Southerner—he is known as tho “Southern Streak”—recently won three national championships, and is confident he will make @ clean sweep of the titular events to be contested in the motorcycle professional race y Gene Walker was little known to the racing game four years ago. Prior to 1915 he enjoyed a local reputation as Birmingham's speediest specimen astraddie a motorcycle. Then he en- tered the Police Department of his native town as a motorcycle cop. His reputation as a speeder was well known to automobilista who were inoculated with the speed mania, and their delight was to engage Walker in thrilling duels along the highways. But they paid dearly for their byplay, for Walker inevitably overtook the most reckless drivers and hauled them before the Magis- e. ‘The ease with which Walker caught the speediest of them sowed the for a racing career in young Gene's thoughts. Soon he was entered in the dirt track competitions and his cendency has been meteoric, In win- ning his first five-mile race he turned the journey in 4 minutes 7 seconds, Champion Benny Leonard will get another bunch of money to-night as he is booked to meet Charlie Netrio, the Detroit shtweight, in @ ten round bout at the big boxing ofub which is being conducted by Billy McCarney at Detroit, Mich, Leonard Herman and Harold Farese Benny Valger and Joey Fox, Some card! * LLY ROCHE, the famous ref- eree who did so much for the soldiers here and in France, has fust come out of the hospital where he underwent an operation on his eyes.

Walker continued to meet with fair success on the various speedways, but it was not until this year that he really “found” himself. He has com- peted in nearly two-seore races in 1919 and has yet to suffer defeat. At Atlanta on Sept. 13 last he swept the card by winning the one, five and %-mile national championships, be- sides hurtling his mount across the finish line first in a five-mile match race for the Southern speed crown, In looking back at the days when he was a motor cop, Walker said to- day that one of the reasons that prompted him to adopt a racing career—aside from the fact that he could make fast time—woa that he simply hated to have to catch the ladies who were exceeding the speed limit. “It just made me weep to have them plead with me after I'd over- hauled ‘em and stopped ‘om,” he said. “I just had to let them go, mostly.” Young Walker—he is only twenty- five—certainly has undertaken a tough task for Saturday's race meet, as he will have to match his daring and skill against the greatest fleld of riders that ever assembled for a champtonship carnival. Among his foremost competitors will be no less @ personage than Lieut. Arthur Chapple, the world’s speed king. Chapple is returning to the perilous game after a lay-off of two years, due to his being in the service of Uncle Sam. But he still retaine his old nerve and riding generalship, ax well as stamina, and does not expect to have much difficulty in repulsing the attack of Gene Walker and the a young daredevils who are en- tered, Kadie Moy, who fought Johnny Dundee at the THE CINCY Pw 4 sss Ficonton Fine - IS HAPPY AGAIN FAN Financia NOTE MESSRS SMITH AND WHOOSIS Securep SEATS ON THE CURB TODAY MANY FAVORITES SURVIVE THE FS ROUND OF TOURNEY However, Elaine Rosenthal and Mrs. Thomas Hucknall Are Eliminated in the National Championship at Shawnee.

Findlay 8. combing the links talent in this sec- tor have decided on the combination that will represent New York in the Lesley Cup matches Friday and Sat- urday with Pennsylvania and Mass. chusetts, The New York team will line up as follows: John G. Anderson, Frank Dyer, August Kammer, Oswald Kirkby, Archie Mclllwane, Grant Peacock, W. M. Reekie, John Stearns, Jess Sweetser, Gardiner White and Findlay Douglas, who will lead phe team without engaging in a match. This team representa the strongest aggregation of players that could be formed from the metropolitan dis- trict. The only noted absentee is Jerry Travers, but the form dis- played by the four times former na- tional amateur champion this season didn’t entitle him to a place on the team. In age the team selected is the youngest that ever entered from New York for tho Inter-City series. The oldest tournament performer is Ovwald Kirkby, who captured the Metropolitan title at Brooklawn, The youngest member of the combination is seventeen-year-old Jess Sweetscr, one of the most prominen 5 stars developed this year, . vee All New York's entrants are es- pecially strong match players, Stara like Kirkby, Walker, was runner-up for the Metropolitan championship; — Reekie, Kammer, Peacock and White are not going to be soft opponents for any team, not even the great combination Pennsyl- vania will start in the three-cor- nered tournament, Tryouts for places on the team were held last Saturday and Sunday at the National links, with President Sullivan and Captain Douglas care- fully making observations Mr. Sul- livan frankly says the New York team is the strongest that could be mustered, and that the Lesley Cup series will be the greatest gol@ event in the United States since the mem- orable play-off in 1913 between Harry Vardon, Ted Ray and Francis Oulmet for the National open title at Brooklino, Pennsylvania will have a powerful array of club swingers, including National Champion Dave Herron and half a dozen young Philadelphia stars who flashed at Oakmont. Mas- sachusetts will be stronger than ex- pected, as Francis Oulmet will surely captain the Bay State team. The former national champion is coming down from the Maine Woods this week, where he has been recuperat- ing from poor health, especially to head his State's delegation in the Lesley Cup series, The National Links, scene of the Inter-City meet, are rated the hard Douglas after carefully who | “174...».| BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK’ THE BATTLE Copyright, 1919, by The Prese Publishing Co, (The New York Mvening World.) rwa- SOME Do Say THAT CINCINNAT) BLEACHERITES ARE OANGEROUS CATHIMIE OY FUuV" NeROSs Gleaned By the Golf Gallery By Thornton Fisher ( HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE THAT WE SHALL WIN-TWe Bowling Season Opens To- Night On Local Alleys The vowlme tournament season for 1919-20 opens on New York-alleys to~ Right, The bowler will pay 20 vente @ Game this season instead of 15 centa, as formerly, because the alley owners claim that it is necessary owing to the high cost of help, a&o.
