J ' IE HUN SAUCER IS LUBE FOR BIKERS (Continued from Preceding Page.) lies of Hie now traek. Since every iu-door iu-door hiko course, like a horse racing coursi1, lias distinct oddities of turn, surface and inclination, it is essential that the rider who would compete in races familiarize himself with every deviation from the mathematical normal. nor-mal. Although the boys have had only four days thus far to achieve this, they are fast coming to know the advantage points, and by next Sundav the track will be an open book to them. The rubliing boards, grandstands and oilier appurtenances have been put in place, or will have been put in place within a few days, and everything is promised to bo in shipshape by the time t ho races open Sunday evening. A Near View. A peculiarity of the new track and one which no doubt the fans will appreciate, ap-preciate, lies in the seeming immensity of thi? speed with which the riders flash around the course. This is duo, no doubt, to the fact that the stands are, so. to (-peak, directly on top of he riders, and s spectator scated in the st3uds sees strea'k after streak flash beneath be-neath his eyes. It is a highly thrilling experience. With the possible exception of one or two, the amateur riders who will compete on the uew track arc those developed de-veloped by Musty Crcbs through his outdoor meets last summer at Beck's Hot Springs. The training which the riders did then and the knowledge of riding which they acquired will stand them well in hand now, and they are infinitely nearer being race riders than they would have been had thev not had the experience of racing at deck's. Does it Mean Revival? There is ample evidence to show that bicycle racing is enjoy i no; an unprecedented unprece-dented revhal all over the country. The recent s i x -d a y r a o e in " e w York drew a greater aggregate attendance than any similar event in the history of Madison Madi-son Square Carden. A dispatch savs that the r.u'o brought $110.iHH) to the atc. 'i s success is further attested bv i he- fact that no sooner had the six-day six-day race been completed than a twenty-four-hour motor-paced race was put on with sprints intermingled. The meet at tVston was reported also to have been a. t remondous success. The racing at Newark, according to advices from the east, is pa c k lug t h c c a pa c i t y o f the velodrome, and elsewhere there seems to be a eonuine come back of the onetime one-time popular sport. 1 It is not outside the realm of possibil ity, therefore, that the game will again ' assume the place it held in the hearts of Salt t.ake fans ten years jigo. The riders who are now training at the riew tiHck are a fresh crop. Eight years ago ' when bike racing began to wither hereabouts here-abouts the present yield of riders was a very youthful eompanv. put thev are now at an age when fhoy have championship cham-pionship possibilities, and it would surprise sur-prise no one to ?ee Salt Lake turn out a 1'rank Kramer or two. The promoters of the new hicvele racing enterprise provw0 to hold 'two meets weekly one on Thursday and the other on Sunday. |
