Garden City cyciers Planning for a Race
by "Bunt" Smith Against
Time.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. 1.-THE Garden
City cyclers are discussing the proposition
of having Blunt" Smith ride mile
straightaway with locomotive for pace
maker. The plans will be similar to those
EN- ployed by E. e. Anderson of st. Louis,
who few months ago rode mile behind
an engine in 1908. Preparations are now
being made for the event, and if the
cyclers secure the privilege from the
Southern Pacific, planks will be laid be-
tween the rails of the Southern Pacific be-
tween here and Gilroy for distance of
about two miles. There are several
stretches where such race could be sue
cessfully held.
Smith is fast and reckless rider and
wants to lower Anderson's record. Several
months ago Smith rode five miles over the
Milpitas course in 1920.
A great many of the cyclers are in favor
of holding weekly race meets for amateurs,
and the plan may shortly be tried. Only
riders who have never won a race will be
eligible for entry, the idea being to give
inexperienced riders chance to show what
is in them. No admission will be charged
and the prizes will be of small value.
The minstrel entertainment of the
Garden City Cyclers will be given Monday
evening, Decembe 81.
