THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, DECEMBER; 4, 1922. QOULLET AND BELLONI SHOW WAY IN GARDEN SIXDAY RACE OVER 1 0,000 PEOPLE ATTEND OPENING OF CYCLING EVENT THE HARD-LUCK CHAMP OcpyrUM, 2i NW Evening World), by frail Publishing Company. By Thornton Fisher New Record for Second Hour and a Spill After Seventh Sprint, in Which Kopsky and Kaiser are Injured, Mark Early Hours of Grind. By Ed Van Every. Goullet and liolloul, tlio Italian-American team, fttvurltus to win thol thirty-third International six-day raco, wore In tlio lead on points at thol noon hour to-day, but bo far as mileago was concerned tlie sixteen teams I were nil oven.

Aside from tlio spill during tho early morning sprints, during which Kopsky nnd Kaiser wcro slightly Injured, tho most oxcltingl happening was complaint registered by some one In tho nslghhorhood I against tho bell now In use during tho races. Said bell is too loud, according to a complaint registered with the Pollco Department, and as a result new velvet-lined Gong will bo in stalled between the hours of 11 P. M. and 10 A. M.

This was tho only early excitement thus far. One minute after the midnight hour at Madison Square Garden this A. M. tho Thirty-third International Six Day Race got under way. This thing has been going on for about thirty years.

It Is hard to understand just bow tat sporting public got that way in tho DtBt but they are bUII "got." And It's tho samo old thing year in, year out. They havo changed from tho high wheels, tho Charllo Millers, Bill Martins, Al Shocks. Hnlcs, have given away to Ooullot, Eaton, Egg and the rest of the newcomers; now they chango tho air twice a day but it is still tLe samo old thing in tho same old way, onl a little duller than usual. Aud the blcyclo crazo is a thing of tho past, but still tho six-day blko race holds on and fully 10,000 wore on hand for tlio opening. Tlio sixteen teams, made up of? various nationalities, nro whirling I around nnd around a big wooden saucer and will keep everlastingly at it for six days and six nights, which eeras nothing to get excited about.

Thero are Ooullct nnd Uellonl, already "Goulash and Bologna" to tho crowd and officially Hie Itallnn-Amcr-lcan team; Erg and Eaton, tho Swiss-American team; Grcnda and tho champion team; and Belgian, two Italian, Australian, etc, teams; and even a German team which got lots of applause last night. Nationalities ran out and there ts even a DrooUlyri, but no New York team. In fact, they arc so hard put for team names they havo called one tho Popular team with tho Unpopular team still to bo determined.

Paddock unquestionably mado the tlmo crodltod to film-under absolutely fair conditions. Tho track on which his races were run at the athletic meet of tho In dependenco Day1 festival was espe cially constructed for tho event. It was a perfect clay track, absolutely lovel, laid out In lanes. -Severn! weeks of work cave it a hard, springy, smooth surface. Tho races wcro run quartering against slight breeze.

Tho weather was cool and tho nir dry. Conditions could not have been better for record- breaking. In Sudden ot Stanfcd, a nlno und four-fifths sprinter. Pad- other competitors wcro only fair. nre much better alofig tho Coast than anywhere in tho Hast, especially In the summer time.

Thero Is llttlo humidity, tho air Is cool, bracing and puto after coming 'icross tho ocean In tho trado winds. Paddock hays that ho can run faster at homo than In the East nnd that when ho goes East ho tuffers feeling of depression from the In tense humidity that makes it imports. Bible to do his best. Tho Pacific Coast has developed many world's champions and great athletes, although athletes thero don't havo half as much competition as In the Eastern States. Horlne and Hceson's high Jumping records never havo been approached by any Eastern jumper.

Plaw and Merchant easily outclassed Eastern hammer throwers. Itosd nnd Hnrt-ranft, as college shot putters, were yard ahead of the best in tlm EiiW. As a schoolboy shot putter und discus thrower Bud Houser broko all records, even winning "tho national championship when he was seventeen from tho best veteran shot-putters ot tho East, Including the great Pat 11c- uodmo. 1 Paail.tt, OTkaua Mntuwr want East I this year ho didn't put nearly aSjj wen, iiriu un uio uuy ui uic Newark told me that ho felt "hcaXTfT because of tho depressing effect Cf Eastern summer weatllor. Howard Drew never mado world's record until ho ran In California.

A. A. U. IS NOT SATISFIED. Charllo Paddock won his cham pionship races at Pasadena easily, and ns easily clipped record nfter ifconl In his homo climate.

Ho has won Olympic championships nbrotul. Interallied championships, natlOTHk championships, and has broken mstly, records in different parts of the world, but thero's no question that he does his best running nt home, whero climatic conditions aro most favorable.
