Wheeling will only be represented ct
the Corbett- Mitchell prize fight IN,
Florida by two young men who yester-
dav purchased their tickets and declare
they will risk whatever Governor
Mitchell and his militia have in store
for the presumptous Northerners who
are hocking to the sunny southland 10
witness the battle OF the two modern
eladators OF the prize ring. They start
for the scene of warfare this morning.
When, how and in what shape they
will return is another question.
But for the trouble in pulling OFT the
ffpht there would have been Il goodly
delegation OF Wheelingitcs at the ring
side. The belligerent attitude or the
English prize fighters namesake fright
encd ali but the two mentioned.
The outlook for the coming cycling
season in Wheeling seems as bright as
was the case last year. The reduction
in t. the en- price OF high grade wheels from
Sl5O to SI25 will, it is predicted by the
dealers, be the means of bringing into
the fold many who have heretofore held
back, claiming that tho manufacturers
were getting too much for their wheels
Already a healthy demand for cnta-
.lorues and Information regarding this
years styles is noticed by the local
dealers.
Since Rose; 6; Co. retired from the
wholesale cycle field there has been
no iobbing house here. This year
Mcssrs. George W. Johnson's Sons will
enter the jobbing branch of the bust
ness and the latter part of this month
will put travelling men on the road.
They have exclusive control OF West
Virginia, eastern Ohio and western
Pennsylvania for tho Triangle and
Queen City wheels, which they handled
at retail last season. The Triang le is
high grade and sells for S125, and the
Queen City wheels range in price from
$50 to 500 for full size, and $50 to 500
for smaller sizos. This firm anticipates
branch.
X. Hoge will continue with the Col
umbia wheels for leaders, and dozen
other makes, embracing everything
from high grade at $125 to a $50 boys
wheel McGinnis & Supler, agents for
tho weli-known Cleveland wheels, will
continue in the field and expect to do
good business. They will also make
speciality of repairing. Jason Stamp
still represents the Swift cycles. Other
dealers will probably matcrialize before
the season is opened in earnest
In club circles there are already signs
of activity. Tho Wheeling Athletic
Whcelmen have kept things moving
this winter through their bowling. team,
and arc now working on plans for the
summer Ono and possibly two racing
tournaments are in view. The success
which attended last September's tourna-
ment, which was under the auspices OF
this club, assures the public that there
Will be good cycle racing TINS year
Last year the W. a. WIS racing team
was not much OF Il success. Changes
will be made this year with the effect
OF strengthening the quartet who will
wear the green and white of the club.
Tho Mountain State club and the
Wheeling Cyclers will both have their
best racing teams out, and the rivalry
between tho three will no doubt be
great Tho latter team made up of Os-
car Smith, Walter Worls and Harry
Gruber expect to take an extended trip
around the racing circuit during the
season. Great things are expected of
Gruber, who three years ago retired
from the path.
