If the weather factory turns out the
fine racing conditions this year that ii
did last, the records will go to smash. II
only takes u glance at the time made in
the various events last Septemb Der to ap-
a year has worked. For instance, in
the trials Of the mile international
record in which all the Glass B cracks
competed, the first heat was won in $40,
the second in 1854 and the third IN
2:49 40. John s. Johnson, the holder OF
course the trials were exceptionally slow,
as the conditions at that particular time
were anything but good for fast work
But when the conditions were excellent
Sanger broke the unpaced Glass b mile
record by one-fifth of a second in 2 :07 10.
The man who wins this race at the com
ing meet will have to ride many seconds
faster than that. 1t is the same with the
hour performance which Titus made last
Septem Der, when he covered 26 miles and
l, 489 yards in 80 minutes. After the race
against time Titus claimed that he could
have made 81 miles had the pacing been
UP to the mark. This year an astonish.
ing record is looked for in the hour race.
for it will be race of all cracks, instead
OF one man against time.
There is probability that John S.
Johnson will make an effort at the meet
to smash his famous mile record of
l: 35 rs. That young man and his Artful
manager, Tom Eek, are out solelv for
the coin, Mr.. Eek having announced that
he will not allow mis- protege to do any
thing in the speeding line unless there is
at least $1,000 in sight. Johnson's famous
mile was made in u straightaway course,
and it is doubtful if the time can be
everything possible has been done con-
ducive to the smashing of records. The
best pacemakers in the country have been
engaged for the meet and the riders
should have little reason for com plant on
that score.
Bald was the hero last year, and the
indications are that he will make a repe-
in the national circuit this season has
been phenomenal, as he heads the list
both in the number of wins and the
amount Of prizes.
That swarthy bundle of speed and
s snoWn aaoep puhe ed hs as better
Louis, can also be counted upon to &C
complish great things, providing he does
not injure himself too early in the game
by one of his daredevil rushes to get the
fancy position. Cabanne will take more
desperate chances to win race than any
other SIX men in the business, and the
other riders are beginning to appreciate
this. Weresit not for the many Injuries
he has received this season, and the con-
sequent loss Of time. he would long ago
have been at the head of the circuit list
Otto Zsigler, the California crack, it is
feared, win not be able to com pete, as he
is still laid up with the injuries received
at South Bend. His friends hoped that
he would make such q showing at Spring
field that his mediocre perfoy mances dur
ing the early part of the year would be
more than compensated for, but the
rom ote.
