Everything is on the house and, win or lose on this wheeling to nowhere, every contestant makes money, A group of Montreal pro- moters are gambling up to $125,000 that this sport, a crowd- pleaser in Canada, the U.S. and Europe in the 1930s, can be a paying proposition in the 60s. They are banking heavily on Toronto's big ethnic population flocking to Maple Leaf Gardens to watch the cyclists go round and round.

"Every rider is under con- tract, just like hockey, football and baseball players," says Cyr. "Our contracts for the 11 two-man teams range from $400 to $3,000 for the week. They negotiate contracts just as any Toronto we're just hop they'll turn out to watch what has been almost a non-existent sport in Canada for a gener- ation."

Peden won 38 races in a career ranging from 1931 to 1942 and it is threatened by Rick Van Steembergen, 41- year-old cyclist from Belgium who starts here Sunday with 37 victories in the last 21 years.
