will follow in about week. 1 will probably
race at Salt Lake and Denver and then go back
to Michigan. George Dyer was also at the
races at Philadelphia. Continued in my next.
Your clubmate, HARRY F. TERRELL.
Since this letter was received Geographic
advices state that Wells was very success
full at Louisville, but Terrill's brother,
Bob" did not win anything. They are
both in class B.
The State Y. NJ. G. A. games at Los An
geles week from to-day will be well con-
tested. Both the San Francisco and Oak
land organizations will send three wheel
men eoeh to compete in the races. j. Z.
Edwards of this City and G. D. Gooch of
Oakland will ride, which will insure the
time being fast.
J. B. R. and A. C. Cooper have been
elected members of the Bay City Wheel
men. President kerrigan has appointed
r. NJ. Welch, Sanford Plummer and J. F.
Hancock delegates to the Associated Clubs
for the coming year. The clubrooms are
now in a state of disorder, the house being
turned over to carpenters, painters and
furnishers who will make the interior
look like new before they are finished.
H. B. Freeman of Haywards, whose pic
ture is presented this week, is the latest
addition to the class A ranks of the Bay
City Wheelmen. He has only been riding
a wheel few months, but has always been
I
cycling readily-in fact he was a racer
almost before he knew il, not realizing
how fast he could ride. He won his heat
in the mile handicap at San Jose on Sep.
TENDER in 2:1S, easily passing Byrne in
the sprint. At Gilroy the next day he
won his heat in the mile open and secured
second place in the final. He won the
five-mile road race from San Leandro to
Haywards, open TO all Alameda County
wheelmen, and made second best time
Nissen beating his time just four seconds.
AT the three days Hapa tournament he
rode we'll, but seemed to lack generalship.
He did not need this, though, in the lap
race, for he assumed the lead and won the
last three laps, permitting no one to pass
him. He has great future before him as
a racer, and under the splendid manage
ment of the club he rides for should prove
| a crackerjack in class A.
The regular bi-monthly meeting of the
California Associated Cycling Clubs Will
be held tonight at the rooms of the
California Cycling Club, Twenty second
and Folsom streets. The principal BUSH
ness to be transacted will be the election Of
officers for the ensuing year. II. III. White
of the Olympic Club is prominently men
toned for president and j F. Hancock of
the Bay City Wheelmen for secretary
treasurer, and it is doubtful If there will be
any opposition. Eight applications for
/
sideration from the following clubs: Ala
media Cyclers, Call Bicycle Club, Diamond
Cycling Club, Golden Gate Cycling Club,
Liberty Cycling Club, Royal Cycling Club,
San Francisco Road Grub ana Waverly
| Cycling Club. 1t is doubtful if the Royal
Club will be accepted unless its differences
! with the Crescent Road Club are settled,
as the delegates are very firm on this point
and will not accept a club containing
members expelled from another club for
non-payment of dues-this being rule of
| the by-laws-until such back dues have
been paid in full. The other seven clubs
will be elected, however, at tonight
meeting, so that the members can enter
the associations teu-mile race next Sun
dav. if desired. 1
There is little new IN league affairs this
week. The roadbook will soon be in the
hands OF the members. The Call Bicycle
Club ~ill join the league in body, the
members realizing the many benefits to
be derived therefrom. F. NJ. Kerrigan
and s. g. Scovern will be elected chief
consul and secretary treasurer respectively
without material opposition, as they are
unquestionably the best men for the re-
| spective positions. There is some talk of
an opposition ticket headed by J. B. Lam
kin, late president of the Garden City
Cyclers, for chief consul, and Joseph A.
Desimone of the same club for secretary.
foolish to allow themselves to be sacrificed
in this manner, however for it is generally
| admitted that Mr.. Kerrigan and Mr.
Scovern have enough votes and influence
behind them to elect them by a handsome
| majority. There are s44 members of the
league in this division, and most of them
reside in San Francisco, Oakland and San
Jose. The AGNES, Bay Citys and Olym-
pics can be depended upon to support the
kerrigan-Scovern ticket to man, and the
unattached would be with them on &C.
count OF Judge Kerrigan's popularity.
Tell me, then, where would the Lamkin-
Desimone ticket get any votes from, ex-
cept their own club2 They are both nice
gentlemen, but have been nominated at
the wrong time. In my opinion, it's all
over but the shouting.
At the regular semi-monthly meeting of
the Camera Club Cyclists, held last Thurs
day evening, the proposed ordinance re-
stricting bicycle-riding was considered
