Coleman. who is in the best position

Tandems have become wonderfully
popular this year. and a new tandem
which has just appeared promises to
be more popular than any of it's pre-
decessors. The little machine is known
as the Juvenile Tandem" and the
youngsters ought to be happy. Many
inquiries have been sent to the makers
this year for a double machine for the
little folks, but the manufacturers have
been so busy turning out the regulation
bicycles that they have not given the
attention to the matter that the de-
mand would seem to warrant. One
firm has taken the initiative and has
turned out lot of these tandems and

PULLMAN ROAD RACE.
Fast Time Made by the Swift Going
Lenders.

CHICAGO. July 4.-out of an entry list of
1913 there were 405 starters in the Pullman
road race which was run today by the South
Side Cycling club. The course was from the
Auditorium hotel. on Michigan avenue, TO
the Hotel Florence, in Pullman, which is
about fourteen and half miles, and is al
most the same course as was followed in the
original event bearing the same name which
was run on May 80.
The time made by the winners was re-
markahly fast. The best time was SO min
utes % seconds. while the best previous time
made in a race over nearly the same route
was 50:17, held by Van Slicken.
The difference was due In large measure,
however, to improved roads, and the wind
today, which was from the north, aided the
contestants materially. The main interest
was centered in the contest between Faul-
haber and Murphy, who rode from the scratch
mark. II was Murphy who gained notoriety
in the big Chicago road race of May 80, on
