New York Velod rorne
Is After Distance
In Motorcycle Races
New York, July 3. The hest rac
ing cyclists in the world will be
seen in action at the $250,000 sta
dium of the New York Velodrome
at Two Hun erred and Twenty-fifth
street and Broadway. There will
be championship sprints and short
distance' events, but it is planned
to receive outdoor tests of endur
mice, a branch of the cycle racing
panic that is so popular all through
luirope and Australia. All the for
tign stars now competing in thi
country were developed to stand
the strain of a test of speed and
endurance by riding in races over
a greater distance than one or five
DRUMMERS
miles.
With this object in view the New
York Velodrome will cater to the
amateur on a far larger scale than
at any other track in the country.
"V Tt is from the so-called unknown
' amateur that our future champions
spring, and this latent talent cannot
be developed unless racing pro
grams are arranged so as to give
the novice a chance to display his
racing qualities.
Tests of endurance such as long
distance races afford lay the foun
dation for ppeed. An illustration of
this is the six-day cyclist, who at
any stage of a race is always ready
for a burst of speed, and it's ,thc
all-around cyclist that furnishes all
the thrills in competition.
The New York Velodrome, the
fas'est six-lap track in the world,
will be the training quarters of the
best riders now in the east, and the
new aspirants for championship
honors will have the advantage of
working out with such experienced
jiders as Spencer, Eaton, Goullet
and a flock of other stars as their
models. All this will mean well
balanced fields and exciting sport.
Hunt Liberty Bonds
For Ex-Service Men
Washington, July 3 Soldiers and
sailors who subscribed to Liberty
bonds during their period of service
and whose bonds were lost in the
shuffle are being aided in recover-
1 i':g them through the American Red
Cross, in co-operation with the War
department. Announcement was
made today that 1,213 bonds were
delivered to their former service
men owners during April and May
through these efforts. In the same
period 1.011 additional service men
requested aid in securing their
bonds.
Legs of Blue, Purple
Hurt Eyes of Man, 80
i Richmond, Eng., July 3. Women
pierrots who perform on the
Thames river terrace have annoyed
Alderman Sir James Szlumper, aged
80.
"The first thing that met my eye,
he protested to a council meeting,
"was a woman pierrot with one leg
painted blue and the other purple.
It's abominable, I say."
But no action was taken, because
the dancers were managed by ex
soldiers with whom the city had
made an agreement.
Slim Man Is Glad of It;
Being Thin Got Him Free
Jefferson City, Mo., July 3. Be
ing slim gained Harry Barron his
liberty from the city jail here a few
nights ago. The rest of the inmates
of the lockup are of a plump build
and are still behind the bars.
- Barron, chareed with burglary
and grand larceny, sawed off a bar
in the city jail and managed to
squeeze through and scale two tiers
of cells to the root Arriving there,
he lowered himself to the ground
with a rope made of blankets.
Perfume May Cost $1 a Drop.
Paris, July 3. Only the very
wealthy will be able to enhance their
charms hereafter by penetratfng per
fumes. Perfume is going up fabu
lously a dollar a drop is soon to be
a general thing.
The cost of producing flowers is
aid to be responsible for the rise.
A pound of jasmin perfume requires
35,000 jasmin bushes, 5,000 rose
bushes yield scarcely a pound of
rose extract, and as for a pound of
violet essence, a plot 30 miles square
barely suffices to produce sufficient
plants to make it.

titled bookmaker, Sir Miles Talbot
Stapleton, whose fortune was wiped

Gives Skeleton of
Race Horse to Museum
The duke of Portland has pre
sented the skeleton of the famous
race horse, Carbine, which, among
his numerous successes, won the
Melbourne cup, to the public library
museums and national gallery of
Victoria. The Skeleton has duly ar
rived in Melbourne.
Carbine, which won nearly $150,
000 in stakes, securifig 33 of the 43
races in which he started, besides
being second in six and third in
three others, was purchased by the
duke of Portland and brought to
England in 1895, the idea being that
his stout Musket blood would be an
immense asset to the British stud.
He sired Spearmint and Fowling
Piece, Ramrod and other good stock,
but perhaps his success as a sire in
England scarcely realized anticipa
tions. He died at the Welbeck stud
shortly before the outbreak of the
war in 1914.

CHICAGO BOXER
TO BATTLE BEST
OF STRATEGISTS
Benny Leonard, World Cham
pion Lightweight, Ranks
With Greatest Men in .
Ring Wicked Right, j
By RAY PEARSON.
"That's the indicator," is an ex
pression familiar to African golfers.
While the betting is supposed to be
he indicator in a championship box
ing match, it doesn't always pan
out correctly. Now we have to
morrow this battle for the light
weight championship between Cham
pion Benny Leonard of New York
and Charley White of Chicago and
of the thousands packed into an
arena at Benton Harbor to watch
this struggle a hefty number of
them will have their jack riding on
one or the other of the combatants.
There are others who will not
have a red penny on the result, but
they would rather enjoy the priv
ilege of saying they were right after
the scrap is over than a lot of things.
Champ Favored as Usual.
Champions naturally are favored
in title contests and this battle be
tween Leonard and White is no ex
ception to the general rule. Leon
ard is the acknowledged choice in
the betting, not alone because his
head carries the crown, but because
he really is a wonderful fighter.
Leonard is one of the greatest
champions the lightweight ranks
ever have known. He compares fa
vorably with that colored master of
a few years ago, Joe Ganz. There
is no need of enumerating others
after having mentioned the name
of Ganz.
Now take Charles White. The
Chicago boy has done about everything-
but defeat a champion. It
isn't because of lack of opportuni
ties that White hasn't reached the
pedestal occupied by champions.
Not once, but three times, he has
had his chance and failed. He had
it with Freddie Welsh and he had it
with Willie Ritchie, and just when
victory was almost in his grasp he
allowed it to slip away because he
didn't seize the one big opporiuiity
of using his head.
Leonard a Crafty Foe.
White now once more finds him
self with the golden opportunity
staring him in the face and iti is the
writer's idea that he will have to
outthink the crafty champion if he
is to accomplish the task ahead of
him. Knowing Leonard and how
he operates in the ring, well say it
is a big job. Why well Leonard
outthinks 99 per cent of the fellows
that face him in the ring. That's the
principal reason why he is champion
and why he is able to travel along
successfully against Dundees, Jack
sons, et al.
I was talking with one' of Leon
ard's camp followers a couple of
days ago and asked him: "What do
ycu think is Leonard's greatest as
set as a tenting man?'
There was no hesitation as he an
swered: "Leonard's head. Next to
that his right O. K. wallop."
