WHEELS THAT WHIRLBD.
Pneumatic Tires On the Ala
media Bicycle Track.
G orge osen Cuts Over Tweuty-one Seconds
Of Coast RecOrd-Edwards Comes
TO the Front.

The officials of the Alameda Bicycle and
Athletic Club could not have secured a
more perfect day for their fall racing meet
than yesterday, yet big George 0sen of san
Jose was the only man who lowered q
record. The other riders, with few excep-
tions, preferred to adopt Oafing tactics and
try to beat eacn other with no regard for
the clock. If time limit is not imposed at
San Jose and Stockton the coast record for
a mile may be raised from Fosters mark,
2:S6 2-5. to five or ten minutes. Edwards is
good man-probably the coming champion
Of California-but a mile in . "a 2-5 is not
much to brag about.
Foster was out of luck He wasn't used
to his new wheel, and on his first turn
around the track fell and cut both of his
knees. Still he was game to the last, and Il
took all Of OSen's muscle to get in ahead of
him in the two-mile race. which was the
fastest one run during the afternoon. He
did not 60 in the mile handicap. which Ed
wards won. after generously reliuquishing
bis handicap.
Potter, the Vancouver cycIist. was greeted
with three hearty cheers on making his ap-
pearance, but was not able TO secure a
trophy.
Immediately after the last race the prizes
were distributed by a committee consisting
Of Mrs. Jesse Ives. r. A. Smythe and Z. T.
Curtis. Cheers for each successful con-
testant as be appeared before tie 2OO0
people assembled on the grand stand were
given with a will. Edwards and Marshall
we're carried on the shoulders OF their ad-
mirers, and Osen viii not soon forget the
ovation he received.
