THE RECORD BREAKERS

The hard work of the men in the
respective record teams has been rather
lightened by the recent rains. Shafer, the
Syracuse trainer, has been absent in San
Jose, but returned last night to Coronado.
The men OH the team were kept right at
work during his absence, but there was no
attempt to crack records while the man.
ager and guiding light of the team was
away. While in San Jose Shafer signed
Otto Ziegler for the Syracuse team, though
manager, who displays telegram from
Ziegler himself in proof of his assertion.
The dispatch reads ~ have not signed"
and is signed by Zieeler himself. How
ever, whether he has been hired or not,
there is no doubt that in the event of such
thing taking place, he would be most
valuable man for any team. Behind pace,
Ziegler can ride as fast as any man on
earth, and under the care of Shafer would
probably develop speed that had not been
looked for even in him.
At Santa Monica the rain has prevented
the working Of the men, but Gieezen has
devised another scheme for giving them
exercise. 1t is a well known fact to those
who have made it a study that man must
be physically clean and healthy to ride
fast, and that nearly every muscle in his
body must be worked more or less as they
are brought into play in riding a wheel.
The men are now taken regularly once
day to the plunge of the North Beach Bath
company, which makes swimming course
of sixteen laps to the mile. They are there
worked out or rather made to swim differ
ent distances according to the class of rid
ing which they are going to do when going
for the records. AS the water is kept at
80 degrees it is an easy matter for a man
to get up smart sweat, but in case the
perspration does not start freely they are
taken to one of the tubs and the hot
salt water is turned on until the
temperature Is at q 100 degrees.
They are then taken out by the
trainers and briskly rubbed, and their
muscles and body are put through the same
course as it is after they ride on the track
1t is to be hoped that the weather will clear
away for at least the latter three days of
this week. as there is to be large excur-
sion to Santa Monica on January 25th, at
which time it is the intention of the "Yel-
low Fellows" to try for at least three rec
ords. That the track will be in condition is
a certainty, for the rain enters it scarcely
more than it does q cement track. 1t has
been shown after one inch rainfall the
track would be sufficiently dry to ride on
with six hours of sunshine.

A NEW PRIZE SCHEME

The racing board of the League of Amer
lean Wheelmen realize that something
must be done to keep up the interest of
the public in bicycle racing, and yet they
are not quite sure what change should be
made. Various schemes have been pro-
posed and rejected as impracticable, the
class scheme apparently having COM
manded itself as the most practical scheme
of the lot. BY this it is meant that the
riders should be classed according to their
ability, men who are able to ride in COM
petition in 2:15 being put into that class,
and so on till a slow limit is reached. But
then man is not always up to form. and
the great difference in the speed of the va
rious tracks throughout the country would
make great difference in the speed with
which the men might ride. After much
thought, H. B. Gleezen has devised plan
whereby the speed of races may be in
creased and the use of pace-making ma
chimes done away with. Let prize be
given to the man finishing first in each
lap, except the last, which shall decide the
race. Then, if tho time is below a certain
limit, say 20, q prize of the value of 500
be given to the first man finishing. If the
time be below 2:15, let the prize be valued
at 700; 2;lO will draw out prize of $75,

COLLEGE ATHLETICS

Again the college athlete is to he heard
from. Reports from all quarters confirm
the statement that the fourth annual inter-
collegiate field day. to be held at Athletic
park on Washington's birthday, will be the
greatest and most interesting athletic
event which Southern California has ever
witnessed. The pronounced success it met
with last year is simply an index to what
it will be this year. At an early meeting
of the Intercollegiate Athletic as
sociation it gave the sole power
of management to William Edgar Mckee,
it's present president. The association
comprises the University of Southern Cali
fornia, Pomona, Occidental and Chaffey
colleges. Each college holds local field
day to determine who is to have the honor
of representing the college in that special
event. The athletic park is now being put
in excellent shape and great number of
improvements have been made in the man.

The costly solid silver cup, which is grow
will soon be on exhibition. There are to
be first and second place medals.
This year more enthusiasm and zeal
and friendly rivalry is manifested
than hs history as any of pffs0us tse s%s
Although all the colleges have not held
their ''iocal field days. yet, the trainers
have been engaged, the heavy men have
begun to train for the hammer-throw and
shot-put, the sprinters have hoisted their
standard, and the bicycle men have started
their wheels. The recent wet weather has
prohibited outside training, but that will
have been made up by the time February
22d arrives.
Pomona college has again taken the lead
in having her local field day. 1t was held
OH January ] tn, on the college track.
Good records were made and the new
material which is being developed along
athletic lines in the colleges is manifesting
itself to surprising degree.

While the future of sports in general is
bright with promise. the local field offers
nothing in the line at all. Many prepara-
tions are being made for events that will
take place in the spring, which is the
birth-time of sports, but the events them
selves positively refuse to come out of
their places of concealment.
The one event of any Importance is the
field trials of the Pacific Coast Field Trials
Club. This event begins at Bakersfield
today, and will be largely attended by dog
owners and fanciers from all parts of the
state. A number of gentlemen from Los
Angeles are going up, some of them having
animals entered for the various events.
The trials will no doubt be we'll worth

THE FIELD TRIALS

Today the Pacific Coast Field Trials as
sociation open their thirteenth annual tour
nament. This matter is of good deal of
local interest in that there are number of
dog owners in this vicinity who have en-
tered their animals in the various contests.
John Schumacher has already sent up his
famous bitch Rowena, and w. G. Kerck-
hotf's Betsy Mark has been on the ground
for the last month, preparing especially for
these trials. There will be three events,
the Derby, the All Ages stake and the Anna
teurs' stake. They will be run in the order
mentioned, and some splendid sport is
looked for. The amateurs' stake is for
dogs raised and trained by their owners,
who must handle them in the trials.

SPORTING MISCELLANY

owners of good establishments, but by far
the larger proportion are mechanics or Ia
borers, while Kid Baldwin brings up the
rear as a professional tramp.

this division of the L. A. W., has changed
its appearance and makeup, and now

Gleezen is filling up the ranks of the
Stearns team, and the latest addition is
Will Evans of Lansing, Mich. On the
record team he will act as pacemaker, but
at the latter end of the training season he
will be put into condition for competitive
work, in which he has already showed him
self to be o crackerjack Gleezen will
probably have thirty men when the time
comes for opening his batteries on those
elusive records.
When it is considered that every club in
the national league made money last
season, it is, difficult to see how the "pur-
pose OF enabling players to advance in
their profession" could no; be as fully ac-
complished under the old as the new
classification of the minor leagues. The
policy OF the major league magnates seems
to be to get as much as they can for as
little as possible without regard to the
rights or prosperity of others.

the time in competition can be made quite
as fast as is now done with pacemakers,
which may be entirely dispensed with.
The increase in the value of the prize in a
corresponding ratio with the increase in
speed will act as an inducement to the
men to fight for the race from start to
finish, while the prizes for the intermediate
distances will cause those competing to
act as their own pacemakers, each quarter
or third becoming then practically a hard
race. AS we'll known horseman said the
