Unclear history of a 1920s racing figure in New England
A fragmented 1920s sports narrative describes a rider who moved to New England after a win, dominated scratch races on distant tracks, claimed the New England bicycle championship in 1930, then rode two more six day races in early 1921 with retirements. He later won the New England sprint championship and pursued pace following, defeating Frank Curry and other pace-followers in later events.
