OF the freSS Cycllng CluD, bulIalo, y. -
is the sensation Of the day in cycling
circles. He has placed another record to
his credit-a remarkable Performance e, in
view of the fact that it WAS made on
road" wheel, his racing wheel not bav-
ing arrived from the East.
His performance yesterday had caused
much favorable comment on his fine form
and on the splendid track. 1t was ge
eral holiday, with perfect weather and
5000 people turned out.
All San Joseans came with the vain
hope that their favorites-tLeir native
sons Edwards and Zieeler. would redeem
themselves and uphold their reruthtions
as champions. But those vino pinned
their faith on Ziegler reckoned without
their host. Edwards acquitted himself
with credit. if not with glory.
There is another young man in this
city, however, who fulfilled every expec-
tation. He is without doubt the coming
champion of this coast, il not of the
United States. His name is Allen Jones,
and he rode a third of q mile from
scratch 40 seconds fiat, breaking Tyler's
record OF As 3.5, made at Springfield,
Mass. Again, in the mile handicap, class
A.. he rode in time equal to that made in
the first mile of the tw.-miie race paced
by tandem yesterday. in which Bald
stood Jones will be put in class b after
the present meet, where he will. no doubt,
prove himself equal to any of his COM
petitors.s Jones won his heat and the
final in the third of a mile scratch race
with the greatest of ease.
Then came the event OF the day, the
mile Invitation, class B, paced by a tan
dem ridden by c. L. Davis and j. II.
Hubbard. with Bald, Burke, Coulter,
0sen, Foster and Terrill starting, neither
Edwards nor Zeigler having qualified in
their heats.
At the crack of the pistol, Bald got
away first and tackled on the rear.wheel of
the. tandem. urging them on at every
turn. which position he kept for the first
lap, when, pursuing his usual tactics, he
Foster to get between him and the pace
makers. He kept this position. Tapped
BY Osen, until the last turn into the
stretch right where he broke away yes
terday-and then with squirt equal to
any the mighty Zimmerman ever made,
he passed the tandem and came across
the tape wheels length ahead of Coul-
ter. who was Tapped by Foster
The crowd was kept in fever of sus
pense for few minutes. They knew the
delay in announcing the time meant the
declaration of q new record. amt when
the announcer came forward there was
perfect SILENCE. But when he said, Bald
has lowered the worlds record for one
mile: time. 2:04,'' there came tremend-
Gus wave OF, applause which lasted several
minutes.
Coulter and Foster rode under the rec
ord in this race. The former IS riding in
great form and is dangerous man to
Bald. Those who have expressed the
opinion that Foster has seen his best
day as racing man are very much mis-
taken. A gamer or more consistent rider
never strobe a wheel than he, and a very
slight lnishap both yesterday and today
threw him in ird place. when he might
have, perhaps otherwise taken the race or
at least the place. esterday Foster was
disconnected by, the dropping out OF the
tandem and to-day lie was accidentally
crowded off the lower edge of the track
for a very short distance, which caused
him to lose second place to Coulter in tn
finish. Foster will probably prove a
record breaker before the season is over

easily, and again in the final he rode the
half-mile in 1:01 5. lowering the coast
record twice. He was repeatedly cheered.
as it was felt that he had in a measure
redeemed himself.
!, AS for Ziegler. he is fallen idol. He
was actually Kissed, and that by his own
townsmen. Evidently something is the
matter with him. He is not riding as he
has ridden, nor as it is believed he can
ride. 1t is stated on good authority that
Ziegler has had several lapses from the
conscientious training necessary to put
him in championship form.
The various heats in both classes were
we'll contested, and good time was made,
as will be seen from the tim 2 in the diff,
ferent events.
