the California Association Cycling Clubs
took place over the San Leandro triangle.
Thousands of wheelmen from San Francisco
and adjoining cities assembled to witness the
event, which promised to be a record break
ing affair, as such men as Charlie" Wells,
J. E, Edwards, Frank Byrne and Floyd Nc
Farland were on the scratch mark.
Wells, who had just returned from Coro-
nado, was not in the best condition for sec
ord breaking, but he showed his superiority
over his fellow scratch men and won the
first time prize in the fast time of IL so 2-5,
with comparative ease, lowering the record
about two seconds. The race was won by
Harry Noonan, a dark horse, from Santa
Rosa, who started from the limit mark.
The race was replete with accidents, but
no one was seriously hurt The scratch men
were heavily handicapped and at no time
had they any chance of winning place prizes.

Close Game With Maryland University
A well-contested game of hockey was
played at tho Convention Hall skating rink
Saturday evening between the Columbia
Athletic Club Of this city and the Univer-
sity Of Maryland team. The game was won
by the latter aggregation, after q good deal
Of hard work, by score Of 2 to O. A large
crowd Of rooters accompanied the Mary
land team, and the c. A. c. boys were also
out In force to cheer their favorites. The
c. A. c. team work was excellent, but the
Maryland boys had perhaps a little ad-
vantage on account Of more practice.
Whitehurst, Parson. Magee and Wisner all
played a good game. while Bisneau for the
Maryland team carried of the houors. 1t
would seem that the C. A. c. team was
much more entitled to represent the city
than the Washington team, which suf-
fered such defeat a few evenings ago.
and it is hoped that the Columbia boys will
keep up their good work and indulge in
hard practice in order to overcome the
slight existing defects in their play The
line up Of the teams was as follows:
Columbia Athletic Club-Parson, captain
johnson. Magee and Charles. forwards;
Ilgenfritz, first defense: Hecox, second de-
tense; Wisner, goal.
University Of Maryland-M. Whitehurst,
