Arthur LintOn's Death Attributed to

Has been Sick-IIOw to Clean Every
Part of Your Wheel-Next Worlds

Earl kiser, the little American racer, who
visited Paris with Wheeler and Murphy, says
It's tough plugging against the Frenchmen.
whonght like fiepds 10 kin offthe foreign
ers.iD the preliminaries. Kiser writes as
follows:
,"Jaap Eden expects to visit America. 1f
he does, look out; he rides unpaced miles
here every day close to two minutes, and
quarters in twent y-siX seconds.
Am using an 80 gear, as did Murphy and
Wheeler. The average run of gears here
is SO and S6 for sprint races. Pontecci, the
Italian, uses q %. i should not say that
any OF them are good sprintcrs. They all
have such enormous strength that they
plug out a quarter In good shape with these
high gears tAmericaD racing men are
not using over so gears, seldom over 10
The majority will run about72 on the aver
age Such gears as 80 10 &c would Soon
kill off the American circuit chaser, owing
TO the Duniber OF days racing that he par
ticipates in every week. The use Of high
gears is largely in training. Americans
might turntouse such gears asthis. butthat
rs doubtful, for the American racing man is
not as strong as the Frenchman, by a long
wayD
say the majority are small The Seine
track is nearly one-third mile. The turns
in it are only about seventy-five yards
long, and the track is, OF course, banked
accordingly. You are compelled to ride
at 2:30 clip or you slip down the
bank; it is banked FOR a Ito mile Going
at speed you can only see the back Of
mans neck; this, OF course, gives the ap-
pearance of riding very fast and makes
exciting racing" Kiser shows a draw
ing OF the track and the banking from he
pole to the start OF the banking at the top
is so straight that Il rider leans at right
angles with the track In taking the turn.
The only place where IA rider can go IT
slow speed is along narrow strip at the
top, which is nearly flat. Then Kiser con
tinues: 1T is a frigbtful sight. Ny hair
stood ON end the first time went around it.
II have Just learned of Arthur Linton's
death. The opinion here, which is right,
OF the cause OF his death is that the Bor-
deauxParis races killed him. He was
man that rode on his nerve alone. He told
me he knew nothing OF the last part OF the
course md that he could See nothing but
a white rag which was tied on the quad
Two weeks after he started in a twenty
four-hour race at Buffalo velodrome He
collapsed after 100 miles and had to be
carried off the track. He said, before go
ing in, he would die or win the race, and
he died This goes to show what viii be

much of it, Huret has been sick also with
malaria, and people fear for him if lie
