Show RIDERS OFF FOR EAST i . Local Wheelmen Leave for Bicycle; Race at Madison Madi-son Square Garden. The. first of the pedal-pushers of this city who will compete in the six-day race in Madison Square Garden left for the East Saturday. Samuelson and- Williams were the first to go, and they will be followed on Sunday by Hopper, Palmer and Agraz. Newkirk and Downing will not leave for some days, but will get there in plenty of time for the race. Samuelson and Williams will spend a week at Buffalo, where Williams formerly lived, and where there is a fine eight-lap indoor track. I All of the men are rounding into form, but the wise ones seem to think that Samuelson and .Williams are a trifle fine for such a grueling race. 1 i |
