This race Is attracting attention all over the
State, and the entry list will probably be larger
than any similar event ever held over this
course.
Tie Bay City WheelmeD may give race
meet Oh October 20 by electric light at Central
Park. This date has not been definitely de-
cided on. however, aud it may be changed dur
Ing The next few Gays to November 4. The
members are determined 10 give meet, how
ever. and promise mat il will be fully up 10 The
high standard of this club.
Last Wednesday Otto Zegler .Jr. rode a half
mile against the celebrated PAGER W. Wood at
the San Jose Agricultural Park, and won in The
remarkable time of 100 f1al. It was very
credltaDle performance. as the track was little
better than an Ordinaryidirt road tor the speedy
cyclist, although III perfect condition for the
PAGER.
Some discussion has arisen as to whether this
race does not place Mr.. Ziegler in the ranks OF
the professionals. 1t seems hat pools were
sold on the event, While the racing rules Of the
League OF American Wheelmen state plainly,
mo open betting shall be permitted" But
have discussed this with some OF the men prom
inent IN the leagues affairs here-RObert NJ.
WEIGH, Frank II. Kerrigan and George Z. Wet
more among the number-aud they feel that a
broad construction should be put on the clause
as IN reality Zirgler was riding against time.
The race was not sanctioned by The l.. A. W.,
aud he could hardly have had knowledge that
bets were being made upon the race. Zegier
has some bitter rivals in class who are very
envious of his success, and they would like
nothing better than 10 see him suspended, say
Tor the balance OF the season.
Frank II. kerrigan and sam Ford Plummer,
president and financial secretary respectively
of the Bay City Wheelme1. left yesterday for an
extended trip through Marin, Sonoma aud ad-
Joining counties They Will be absent about
Two weeks.
The subject of an interclub track race is
again Deing discussed. Snch an event would
lie very interesting and il Is hoped it can be
arranged. With men from the Olympic, Bay
City. Reliance, Acme. Garden City, San Jose
Road and California Cycling Cubs All compe in g
against each other IN say ffty-mie relay
race on quarteT-mle track, the interest would
remain uDabated throughout the entire affair,
and such novelty would be bound 10 draw a
large crowd.
1be Bay City Wheelmen have secured bull
dog pup. named mike" which they intend 10
use hereafter as a mascot" Not that the club
has been particularly unfortunate OF late. but
they are willing 10 increase their present good
fortunes II such a thing be possible. The pup
Is under the careful tuition OF S. PlummeT, who
will educate him IN his various duties.
The latest talk in the cycling line Is TO the
effect that young Oscar o. Osen of the Garden
City Cyclers, san Jose, Will shortly leave for
the East with The Intention of endoavoring to
lower the New York Chicago record. 1t will
be remembered 0sen is The man Who made the
ph' nomenal time between this city and san
Diego several months ago, and from his per-
formance at that time, he has a good many sup
p0fters in this Stale who think lie could do re-.
marka bly, well on the Eastern road.
