The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-11

pare favorably with Bald, Ziegler, Dim
berger or any class B men, and when Zim-
norman and Johnson get there our colors
will be represented by quartet of world
/ heaters. The French racing men are all
very fast and Italy has some flyers OF
worldwide reputation. But there is al
ways room for one more, and as Osen S
suspension debars him from ever racing
under the League of American Wheelmen s
rules again he will have to cross the water
! If he wants to continue in the sport and
Oscar is not slow by any means. l am in
clined to think he would win his share of
the purses, which, by the way, are very
| liberal.
Captain Joseph Quadt, Lieutenant Siebe
and Messrs. Stiegler, Schwartz and Mass of
the Golden Gate Cycling Club rode a CEN
fury, to San Jose and return, last Sunday.
For tomorrow Captain Quadt has called a
| club run to Camp Taylor
R. NJ. WEIGH, chairman of the local rae
! ing board of the league, has issued his
bulletin No. as follows:
| The California meetings of the National
Racing Circuit thus far arranged are as
/ follows: San Francisco, Bay City Wheel
men, November and 2; San Jose Garden
! City Cyclers, November 4, and 6; Los
Angeles, Los Angeles Wheelmen. These
are not sufficient to warrant the extension
of the circuit to include California, and
unless other meetings can be arranged
California and the Pacific Coast will have
to be left out. The time within which
| definite conclusion must be reached is
! limited. Clubs in California desiring
| dates are requested to at once notify r. M.
! WEIGH, the representative of the National
Racing Board, 532 California street, San
Francisco. The circuit cannot reach Cali
fornia earlier than November l.
1t is to be hoped that sufficient dates
can be arranged to warrant the National
circuit being extended to California. 1t
would bring with it all the prominent
racing men of the East, many of whom
might stay here for the winter, and would
| give the sport a wonderful impetus on this
! coast. The fact that such stars as the
| Eastern racing men are known to be would
ride would draw a crowd to any race meet
and make 1T great success, and clubs
| need have no fear on that score when thew
! apply for sanctions. Who wouldn't at
tend meet in which mile race brought
| to the scratch such men as Bald, Sanger,
Tyler, Dirnberger, Macdonald, Bliss Ter
rill, Ziegler, Coulter, Harbottle, Cabanne,
Titus and dozens of men of equal racing
! ability who follow the circuit for several
months, always racing and always fighting
out their races In the endeavor to get a
| prize. That's when the sport becomes
exciting, and the spectators at the National
/
| thousands. By all means, let us do what
we can to bring the circuit out here next
! fall.
The picture presented this week repre-
sents the CALL carriers at jacksonville.
! They have become well known to the resi-
dents OF that thriving city in Pajaro VAL
ley. A streak of dust is all that is seen
two minutes after the morning train ar
rlves, and although the routes take the
boys all over the city all the papers are
delivered within twenty minutes after the
train is in. No. in the picture is the re-
liable Tommy Lennard, who delivers all
south OF town; No. 2 is John Miller, who
carries all the extras to the CALL agency
Victor Tuttle is the third, and the fourth
is Bert Weston, who carries all of the out
side routes. The people of jacksonville all
like the CALL and are pleased with the
prompt delivery afforded by the wheel
men, and the paper has many friends in
the valley. The dog in the picture is
Nancy hanks, thoroughbred terrier from
Montana, the property of George P. Martin.
A party OF Olympic wheelmen, COM
posed OF A. ii. Russ, c. Euler, B. Hay
ward, w. b. Wegener, III. s. Russ, A. G.
Russ, Jr., Ed Russ and r. r. Russ en-
loyed trip to Redwood City Sunday. The
party were much concerned, when. on the
way down, they discovered the absence of
A. ID. Russ, who had been with them as
lar as san Mateo. They feared some acct
dent might have befallen him, and a
search was made, but he did not turn up.
The next day he was met on the street.
and said he had only stopped for drink,
and had then rode on 10 Redwood and
| back that afternoon. But Bob Russ doubts
this story, and thinks he took the train
home from Redwood.
