TEAM WINS SIX-DAY
FINAL- JUMP WllSS RACE BY SCANT FOOT
(Hetnt Nwf by Loncmt tsed Wire.)
New York, Dec. It. That famous old
humpback Jump that made big Floyd
MacFarland one of the pre test sprint
era that ever whirled down ; a stretch
won (or himself and Jimmy, Moran t
Madison Square garden tonight the best
and fastest six-day bloycla race ever
raced. r - - -
By the margin of half a .wheel's
breadth he- beat Walter Rutt, The big
German champion of last year, across
the broad black line that marked the
end of 142 hours' ceaseless work.
Lapped . on Kutt's rear wheel . was
Walter Demara, the San Francisco boy,
whose wonderful dash into the six-day
game was the marvel of the race.
They finished 00 close that the pro
verbial blanket could have covered all
three, and it was only big; Mac's great
jump that won for him, that jump that
means an . added sprint at a moment
when the rider is sprinting; at a pace
that it seems imposiMe to lmprovo
upon. , .
They started off slowly when the
riders of the five vanquished teams
had been called off " the track and a
pistol shot sent them on the impor
tant 10-lap Journey.
Genua Takes tead.
The bis; German took the lead. At
his wheel no more than six Inches off
rode lanky Floyd, and back of him less
than a foot was Demara. For six
laps they kept In Just those positions
with the crowd so silent and tense that
k vaiia nf the trainers calling Off the
, laps awoke echoes in the garden.
On the seventh lap Rutt bent until j
his head seemed aimosi to muun nu
handle bars and shot .out with automo
bile speed. But not an inch did- he
train. The same half foot' separated
his rear wheel from MacFarland s and
Mao's from the little Ban Francisco
UAt dashing apeea they, whirled of f
the eighth lap and the ninth and three
quarters and tenth, and then on the
high bank of the famous death ourve.
only 24 yards away from the finish,
the big broad back of MacFarland,
swayed from side to side. His head
went down and his legs took on the
speed of an automobile piston. Forty
yards from -the finish he was shoul
der to shoulder with Rutt, 8 yards
away and he was sttll on even terms,
20 yards from the tape and it looked as
though a dead heat would be the best
ha could do.
Barely 'whirls Oyer. ,
But then the final Jump, the thing
that seemed impossible; it was only a
little more speed, only a supreme ef-

the big fellow whirled over the line a
winner. ',
.A-row varda more and - Rutt 4 would
have been forced into third place, for
Demara was sticking close to MacFar
land and was almost abreast of him.
A patriotic roar that lasted five min
utes greeted the lanky victor and the
band struck up "Yankee Doodle."
As MacFarland went to dismount he
was seised by his partner, Moran, and
an ecstatic swarm of trainers and liter
ally lifted off his wheel, and Demara,
finishing third In his first big race, was
hailed with scarcely less enthusiasm.
Some one, his fiancee, the romantlo
spectators insisted, flung him a big
bunch of roses, which he carried around
for a lap on his bars.
While the band played National an
thems each of the three riders, now
Joined by his partner, rode an exhibi
tion lap and the big show was over.
MacFarland and Moran, the winners,
will receive a prize of J1500 in addi
tion to bonuses, and Rutt and Stol get
$1000 and Demara and Hill $700.
At the finish of the six day bicycle
race the score stood:
MacFarland-Moran, -2737.1; Rutt-Stol,
2737.1; HllMDemara, 2737.1; Walthour

OUTLAWS WILL
DECIDE CIRCUIT
Capitulation Means a Four
Club League Along Coast;
- Six Clubs. Otherwise.
The entire status of both the Coast
leaflets and the outlaw California State
league will be decided at the meeting
of the directors of the coast circuit
at San Francisco, December 21. Judge
McCredle of the local baseball club
received a telegram from President Cal
Hwing yesterday telling him that De
cember 21 had been settled upon for
the meeting of the league and he will
leave about the sixteenth or seven
teenth for the south. ....
The whole matter Of a date for the
regular meeting of the league officials
hinged around the coming of B. B.
Johnson and Harry C. PuTllam. presi
dents of the American and National
leagues, respectively. Pulliam and John
son together with Garry Hermann of
the Cincinnati team constitute the na
Uonal commission of the professional
lumeball leagues of the United States
and all disputes arising In baseball mat
ters come before them for final settle
ment.
Tint Meeting rails.
presence of these two
The presence of these two moguis
was necessary in oraer xo aiioci
reconciliation with the rebellious Cali
fornia State league, now the only out
law organisation in the United States
Three weeks ago Ewing and Berry of
the Coast league tried conclusions witn
the magnate from the outlaws but
thn meeting broke up with both parties
sore as wet liens, ah nupn J.ur an un
derstanding between them, was given up
temporarily at leant and preparations
were made by both parties to fight the
coming season out. ,
Now however, prospects are much
brighter, for both Johnson and Pulliam
are clever as well as practical men and
their presence at the next meeting will
no mucn towara euecunn h. niunuwi.
i t., mttinnm after a season of varied suc
cess are putting on a bold fact and hope
to retain all their star players whether
thev bt rontract Jumpers or not. This
lint' of plavers Is a long one and of
particular interest to all sections of the
country. ,
The rnsKt lea trie of cou.toe has been
the, most affected owing to the fact
that both leagues are in the same ter
ritory and there are a number of Port
land players affected. Benny Hender
son, the pitcher, who deserted the locals
two years ago, expects to get into fast
company in some way. To do this he
would have to play next year with
Stockton and then play another year
with Portland before there would be a
chance for him to get away. Poor Benny
seems doomed to a long exile. Chase,
Mortarity, Harkett, Baum, Shay. Mc
Hale and Stricklett are some of the
players who would be affected by this
rUle" Coasters Deeply Involved.
The Coast league, too, has much de
pending on the outcome of the meeting
of Johnson and Pulliam and the outlaw
officials for not until then will the mat
ter of the Coast league's circuit be de
termined. Should the Callfornians stay
out of the fold of organised baseball
and decide to fight the Coast league,
two more clubs must be added, but. on
the other hand, should the Callfornians
decide to cut out the rough stuff and
be good the league will probably remain
the same as it did last season. The
McCredles will take no active part in
this, however, for the California mag
nates sre going to have their own way
as to the make up of the southern end
"'judge0.8 W. McCredle feels that
since the southern moguls allowed him
a free hand in entering the Northwest
ern league, he will allow them equally
as much In their territory. The Judge
has every confidence In Cal Kwlng and
will be content to abide by whatever the
president of the league may lee fit
to do.
The Judge is working for an eight
team league in 1910 and everything
done toward changing the circuit how
will have a bearing on the makeup of
the league two years hence. Sacramento
and Venice will be the two cities to
enter the league should the outlaws de
cide to fight their coast neighbors. .
NOTES OF THE
INDOOR BASEBALL
Indoor baseball la being revived this
winter in great shape. Portland has
10 teams and some of the fastest of the
performers of outdoor ball are keeping
in condition playing upon these teams.
The game Is faster than outdoor ball
and nearly as exciting, owing to the
small space required to play it. The
game originated In Chicago several
years ago and has been developed until
now it la a scientific contest of skill
and wits. The eastern and mid western
states go pretty strong on indoor ball
as a .winter pastime.

Paul Thyng, who holds down first

Eddie Dunn, the Oresron Casket Co.'s

"Come Early to Avoid the Rush"
The Joy Riders.
We slipped away from the dark garage
At ten of a moonless night,
And we had the muffler on, you bet.
And lit but a single light.
But we opened up to the final notch
The minute we got outside.
And away we tore with a bang and a
roar
For the Joy of a midnight ride.
We grazed the front of a trolley car.
And tumbled a pushcart down.
And bumped the end of a load of coat
And scattered it over the town.
It was barrels of, fun to watch folks run
As we merrily whined along.
With a freniled toot, or a scornfnl hoot.
Or a snatch of a Jeering song.
We shrieked with glee as we tried to see
How fast the machine could go,
And we burst the tires, but w laughed
the more, ,
For they were not ours, you know.
The auto jumped, and It bumped, and
thumped.
null a. J v 1 auTtr
But we lost them all like the leaves in
fall.
For they could not keep the pace.
Whenever we saw a gilded sign
We stormed for a round 01 annks.
And we hit a boy, but were out of sight
In less than a couple or winks:
And then we met with another car.
A monster nalnted arreen.
And we challenged it In sporty terms
To a race with our macnine.
We let it out till we went so fast
That the road was like a streak.
And I could not hear, and could not see.
And T could not even sneak.
Then a screw or a spoke or something
hrnlra
And we cannoned aealnst a tree.
And out we crashed, and the car was
smauhefl.
But it did not belong to me.
