fury I'll la refused to give trophies to the
Turner Wheelmen survivors of the former
city. Other survivors have received their
| medals, and the Turner's are considerably
worked up over the attitude assumed in
their case. The Turner's were half an hour
late in starting on the run, but it was under
stood by them that the checkers would re-
main at their posts, and that every man
who survived would get a medal. o of
the checkers was seen along the entire route,
but twenty-eight of the Turner's survived
the run, and, besides laying claim to medals,
demand the banner offered to the small
club having the largest number OF men at
the finish. Official complaint is threatened
if the Turner's are not appeased.

The racing career of Fred Titus thus far
this season has been one of remarkable sue
cess. He has picked up five State records,
and at the recent Chicago meet won the
worlds championship for an unpaced mile in
competition, his time being PA 2-5. When
it is taken into consideration that this time
was made on a third-of-a mile track in the
teeth of a strong wind, the merit of the per-
Torrance stands out still clearer. At La
fayette, Ind, on July 80, Titus won addi-
tional honors by riding five miles in 1925
%. which took a big slice of OF Goehier's
record of 1881. After the Denver meet
Titus will return to the East and try Tor the
hour and all unpaced records. As an I'M
paced rider Titus ranks above nlne-tenths OF
the cracks. Up to date he has captured
more Glass B handicaps from scratch than
any other rider.

B man in spirit, if not in reality. This
speedy rider no soone showed championship
form than the manufacturers got after him

less, improve considerably.
