iA) { Besides the Motor -Paced Event, Willie Spencer Beats Goullet and Eaton. F saw Vincent Madonna, Italian- c American star, get a trouncing from Clarence Carman in a match motor race over the ten-mile route, ‘vest two out of three heats, at the New York Velodrome last night. ‘There may have been greater motor- eyele races in the distant past, but mone equalled last night's duel at ten miles, in which Clarence Carman, for- mer American champion, triumphed ever the gritty Italian-American star, Vincent Madonna, best two out of three heats, in point of thrills, excite- ment and speed Wifteen thousand cycling enthusi- asts, packed like sardines, in the spa- eious New York Velodrome, howled, screeched and threw their hats and | wraps in the air ax they saw the Samatca boy make Madonna bite his dust in the Inst two heats.

When Rill Rossbach announced the fact that he had made a record the crowd went wild and Madonna re ceived a reception he will never for get. He won by half a lap. Carman, undaunted by the lacing he receivea came out fresh for the second heat, this time paced by Arthur Miller in- stead of Jimmy Hunter. Clarence was not to be caught napping this time and he gave Madonna a dose of his own medicine by jumping into a comfortable lead, making a better pick up than Vincent. Carman ap- parently had more confidence in Mil- ler, for he kept plugging in front while Madonna struggled behind. The pace became so hot in the last part of the struggle that Madonna thought {t best to rest, giving up all hopes of winning. He purposely dropped out of the competition three laps before the finish. Carman's time for the second heat was 13.50 3-5. Madonna complained several times about his bike, so that two or three changes were made. Car- man took the bit in his mouth, start- ing the third and deciding heat, got the jump on the little Italfan again and whizzed in front as if there was no one to combat him for the big hon- ors. He held the lead from start to finish and won by almost a full lap, that the perhaps fifteen yards short, in 18.44 2-5, McNamara, the famous six-day performer, gave the crowd the first thrill of the eventfpl evening by trouncing Bobby Walthour jr. in two straight heats of the two-thirds mile match race. The crimson ferseyed rider from the Antipodes jumped the famous Walthour’s son in the first heat with two and one-quarter laps to go and crossed the tape pulled up, looked around, in the good time of 1.42 8-5. Reggie travelled the last eighth mile in 18 seconds. Be {t said in Bobby's favor that he tried his hardest to turn the table on his opponent in the second heat, but experience and speed came to Reggie's rescue on the stretch run to the tape and he rushed through to grab the match by inches In 1.49 1-5, doing the last elghth in 13 seconds, Walthour jumped into a comfortable lead after the finish of the firat lap and set a dizzy pace thereafter, but in the final test he was not equal to the occasion.

He whipped a fast one over on Frank Welsh—at least he started it with that intent “Wham!” Mr, Welsh spanked the old apple into the right field stand, away up among the rallbirds, In just one second the ball game was on an even keel, standing 2 to 2. All of Joe's early efforts were now merely a con- tribution to art—his pitching efforts, I mean, A month ago with a game snatched right out from under them like that our Yanks would have blown apart They would have taken the count. Right then though there flashed a spark of that new thing. Instead of staggering under the wallop the champs stuck out their claws. Joe Bush whanged a hot one at Dykes and went all the way to sec- ond on a bad throw. Whitey Witt, unable to hit all day, beat out a bunt Joe Dugan caught a fast one on the button and slapped {t toward third like a bullet. The ball hit Dykes squarely In the hands and with such foree as to trun him around. But he held on and shot it over for a double play. That was the toughest piece of luck of the day. By this time Connie Mack had en- tered a young pitcher, Gus Ketchum by name, but he didn’t look it, Gus had heard about Babe Ruth and Wally Pipp, so he welked them both, filling the bases. His plan worked all right, at that. Wallie Schang was out on a rolling decision at first; he and Hauser turned a couple of somersaults in the collision. The side was out and we got no run. Even that disheartening punch didn't phase our rejuvenated Yanks They shook off the blow and came back for more. Has a championship sound, hasn't it?

By Joseph Gordon, CCORDING to reports reachir\ x these parts, Barney Dreyfus and Bill McKechnie, President and Manager of the Pirates, respeo« tively, held a long conference in one of the most private of private rooms of the Forbes Field Stadium, Pitts- burgh, Pa. It was after the firet game of the series between the Pt- rates and Cincinnatt Reds, in which the former scored thelr twelfth straight victory. Just before the men parted, it ts sald, Barney led his manager to @ safe, opened it and drew out a large photogtaph. It was the same picture, championship picture, the Pirates had taken last year beforo their fatal series with the Giants at the Polo Crounds. ‘They were not able to use it then, but Barney, always a prac- tical man, saved it for possible future use. The extra stands they had put up in anticipation of a World's Series crowd were also Inspected and tested. Three weeks ago the Pirates were in sixth place in the National League standing. Now they are in third and going stronger than any team in the circuit. They are beginning more and more to loom up as the Giants’ strongest rivals for the 1922 pennant, The final skirmish of the Battle of the Boroughs will be fought this afternoon when the Giants and Robins meet in Ebbets Field tn a double- header, Sentiment, according to Hughie Jennings, is completely out of the question. The Giants need the games, he figures, and the Robins dc not. So !t will be a fight to the death. If the Giants display the same brand of baseball they showed yester- day they should have little trouble in taking both ends of the double bill, for they are back to normalcy at last. The fielding of Bancroft and Frisch is as near perfect as it can be and be human. As @ matter of fact some of the plays pulled off by these worthies yesterday were not human at all, They were impossible, and many a Robin was thrown out after making what should have gone for bits, Phil Douglas will in all probability, pitch in the opening game and Artie Nehf in the second. ‘Dutch’ Rue~ ther and Leon Cadore will do the serving for the Robins. The Giants have fully recovered from the severe beatings handed them by Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. It took them several innings to get warmed up yesterday, but once they, did get warmed up they played and batted like flends. They didn’t hit the ball so often. Six hits were all they got. But what hits they were! Out of the ctx one was a homer by Frankie Frisch, one a triple by Long George Kelly, a double by Frisch and another by Cunningham. The other two were singles by Snyder and Ban- croft. In other words, thirteen bases on six hits, Not so often, but rather hard. Jess Barnes was pitching for the Giants and the Brooklyns hit him pretty freciy. The Gtant Infield saved the day for him on several oo« casio! particularly in the sixth, when Bancroft and Frisch made second base the deadline for Robin runners. Bancroft made several im- possible stops and Frisch was always on the job to get the throws. Sherry Smith was chosen by Robs ble to do the pitching for Brooklyn, and for a while he was going along at a merry clip, putting down one world’s champion after another as though they were ordinary ball play~ ers. Then came the fifth inning, and the Robins began to make their daily allotment of errors, King got to first by getting hit with @ pitched ball and Long George Kelly sent a long fly, to Hy Myers. The usually reliable Hy proceeded to let the ball go through him and all hands were safe. Cunningham forced King at third and then came Catcher Snyder and pasted one of Sherry’s fast ones to right for a single and Bancroft came along a moment later with another single.
