The bicycle is now of as great i'm

stoclty, sturdy lad like Windlc, nor
model of athletic beauty like "A. Zin-
merman. He is not only the champion
bicycle rider of the world, but he is just
as fast on roller and steel skates as he is
on wheel. Some of his records made
last year were; 40 yards, 22 seconds;
