Frank Thatcher will not ride at the
big meet on July I.
This definite announcement was
made last evening and was received
with genuine regret by all cyclists
and admirers of the sport generally.
Mr.. Coffin declines to recede from
his position, and having Gideon's de-
cision behind him, will not allow
Thatcher to ride any wheel except
the Stearns. The phenomenal little
rider. on the other hand, fatty refuses
to ride the Stearns, so that he is out
of the races altogether.
Charley Evans, the star of the
acknowledgements team, had a bad
fail on Sunday and has a stiff knee
in consequence. He may be all right
by this evening, however.
The Newsboy teams entered for the
road race from Garden City to Gar
field on the Fourth, are going through
their PAGES daily.
The magnificent medal offered by
J. H Leyson & Co. for the class B
invitation race on July 4. is completed
is by far the handsomest and most
valuable trophy ever offered for
bicycle race in Utah;
Weller is coming up in splendid
form. Yesterday afternoon he reeled
off a mile in 2:07 fiat, paced by
tandem.
Frank Thatcher yesterday went
half mile in 1:6 is paced by Liday
and QualtTough on a tandem.
The racing men are finishing up
their training prior to the big meet
on Thursday, and all are in fine
shape.
ColIinston is doing well, and will
give a good account Of himself on the
Fourth.
Look out for that boy shefski on
the Fourth.
Connibear. who has been a little
out of luck so far will ride to win at
the diamond meet.
The class 3 races on the Fourth
will be paced by two tandem teams,
C. Y. Robbins and Fred Meakin will
ride the Rambler tandem and Quail
trough and Liday will form the
other team.
1t was rumored among racing men
yesterday that Gideon had declared
HYDE and Royle class r men. Mr..
Emise could not be found last night,
but the correctness of the rumor is
doubted.
Lindsey Hudson is a prime favor
lite for the novice. He has improved
rapidly of late.
T. S. Jensen is likely to be heard
from on the Fourth, while Halger
Jensen ought to stand a good show
for the five mile handicap, If treated
fairly by the Handicapped
Tod Game will be we'll to the front
at the diamond meet.
Fred May will make the class A
men hustle in the mile and two
thirds mile events.
HYDE is. of course. the favorite for
all class A events. Hyde is one OF
the wonders OF this season
