NO. 1 THE COLOUR PROBLEM
Why do Frank Pearce and Lionel van Praag, two of the Australian j champions on the cinders, refuse I to ride in red? This little problem in colour has * been puzzling Western Springs patrons. In Australia riders are permitted, to have strong likes and dislikes, very often without reason. In this way blue was banned, as being unlucky, then green, then red. j Now most men carry mascots and j rid© in white (which is no colour ; and therefore cannot be unlucky) j and wear sashes of distinctive colour and design. Other Australian riders, Perkins, Mann, Manghara, Sticpewich and Lawrence, however, have all ridden here in the crimson jersey.
