Eaton and Madden. Sullivan and Holbrook.Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock, 11 well-groomed teams will get awayin Boston’s annual six-day bicycle race at the Arena. For 10 hours each day, and for six days, these 22 men will encircle the huge oval, watching every opportunity to steal a lap, and with one thought uppermost in their minds—new records.WORLD’S LEADERSThe entry comprises the world’s leading riders and undoubtedly one of thebest groups of long distance ridersever welded together for an event of this kind.A Watertown boy, Freddy Hill, and his partner, Alfred Grenda, the elongated Tasmanian wood chopper, are the favorites. The Australian combination of Reggie McNamara and BobSpears are running them a close second in the betting. Hill, with Goulett, was the winner of last year’s grind. McNamara was the runner-up.However, the strength is so evenly divided that any one of the eleven hat, a chance. The motur paced combinationsof Carman-Walthour and Wiley-Linart will bear close watching. Dupuy, a sprinter of unusual ability, will prove a dangerous man, with a partner of Moran's experience. Dupuy walkedaway with both Goulett and Grenda at i Revere last season, which is quite a j record in itself.Francisco Verri, the sensation of lastyear's race in New York, is one of the most feared men in the race, ana he will have ample backing with Frank Corry, the Australian, one of the trickiest men that ever drew a pedal across his feet. Verri gave Goulett one or j the greatest battles of his life in the j big Gotham race last winter and will j likely give Grenda and the others I plenty to worry about.j Racing will begin every afternoon at! 4 o’clock and will be continued until i 2 o’clock the next morning. This programme will be carried out each dayexcept Saturday when the event will begin at 12:30. At 10 o’clock that evening the riders will go on for the final half hour of sprints, which will decide i the winner.Matty Baldwin writes from his farm at Lynnfield that he is not all done with the boxing game by a long shot, and will be back again with the bells ii: the very near future. “White’s punch put me out of business, all right,” says Matty, “but Robldeau, Gallant and others have walked into similar punches and come back. That’s me.”* * * *Bay Wood of Fall River and Johnny Mello of Gloucester have been matched for a 15-round bout, to be held at New Bedford, Nov. 15. M. L.
