Each man ha!te placed a^heek for $200 in the hands of Colonel Harry * Silverman. The only thing that remains is for the men to get themselves Into the best shape possible for the race, and from the form displayed by both yesterday It isD safe to say that when the starting gun is fired on Friday night. Walthour and Leander will be in the very jjeat possible condition to make the race of their lives.At the Coliseum yesterday '•Bobby Walthour rode two miles in record time. His first mile was done in 1:40 and the second In 2:37. ‘'Bobby did not have to let himaelf out any to make this time and he constantly requested his pace* maker, Eli Winesett. to go faster. Wlne-sett compiled with his request and “Bobby followed him with ease. He again asked for more speed, but Wine-eett. who Is also Walthour’s manager said that the work was fast enough for a try out. Bobby was forced to leave the track much sooner than he had Intended. as several of the spokes In his front wheel snapped, and he also punctured a, tire. rFhes© mlghnpa disheartened “Bobby, and he closed his day's work rather abruptly.“Bobby is going to ride a good race, and although he Is not given to boast* ing, he Is confident of the result. “Bobby stated yesterday that he would rather win the Friday night race than any he has ever competed In. as this will be the first real race he has ridden in Atlanta Leander is rounding Into form rapidly.” said “Bobby. “and he rode better this afternoon than I thought he could. Jt is now up to me to get busy and start in on hard wbrk. I am going to ride hard every day now until the race, and I am going to train as flue as I possibly can, without overdoing It.} Leander Out Early.George Leander was at the Coliseumearly yesterday morning, and he started rfght to work. Watson Coleman got out hig new pacing motor, and Leander followed him around for a, mile In 1:40. Leander had plenty of speed left and he asked for an Increased pace. To tne astonishment of p.11 who watched him the big Chicagoan, flew around the track for a mile in 1:35 2-3; one of the best miles ever done on an Indoor track. Bounderfollowed #his paqe'maker In very good style, and his front wheel was always right 'up to the motor. Some of those who managed to*'get into the Coliseum to watch the riders trhin, expressed opinions to the effect that “Bobby Walthour has a bigger contract on hfs hands In riding Leander than he had bargained for. When “Bobby heard this he smiled serenely, and If everybody Is as confident about the result of the race as he !«?. “Bobby*' will go on the track with enough money wagered on him to start a bank.Yesterday the contestants of the six-day race were all anxious to tell “how It .all happened. Each man would havewon “If ” As a matter of fact manyor those who rode In the six-day race are not satisfied with the result Some of the men complain that they were not properly coached, and others say thatthe very sight of Lennder and Rutzgave the other men such a shock bv their fast and furious sprints of the first night, that their victory was practically conceded then and there. Everybody concerned was dissatisfied with the finish mile ridden by Leander and Lake, representing the two leading teams. It was expected that Leander and Lake would give record breaking performance of sprinting In this mile, as both men have established reputations as sprinters. Fenn, who showed up In such a disappointing manner on the last night of the race did his best, but as he has recently recovered from an attack of appendicitis, it Is believed that the strain of two hours fast riding every night was too much for him. Barclay, who persistently held last place during the entire race, except at the finish, left for his home in Brooklyn yesterday., He says that he is through with six-day racing.The California league sis making a desperate effort to keep Henry Krug in that section of the country. Not only the club with which Krug is playng at present is working with that end in view, but every member o£ the slope association Is throwing any obstacle it can pick up in Krug's'way whenever his trip south Is mentioned.Krug Is beyond doubt the star of ths Pacific coast league just now and haa been for the past two seasons.
