is clerk OF the course. and his reputation
for having al details OF athletic meets
properly attended 70 gives assurance taaA
the events viii not only be started on '-l1
bur that they VIII be pushed along WITH
out those tedious delays which tend 10
make a meet Eresome-
II the weather 10 good there Is every rea-
son 10 expect some OF the best contests
that the people Of this city have ever naa
the opportunity 20 witness. Mr.. Lewis, IN
adding BICYCLES races TO the programme,
did a wise thing. as such sports nave an
effect OF liveniIg up things There rs al
so great interest manifested al over the
Sound as TO the outcome OF the second
meeting of Dow. Bartholomew and
Schone In the last series Of bicycle races
Dow swept the board by some OF the finest
racing ever seen In rhe Pacsfic Northwest,
while Bartholomew Rugged MS wheea
straight 30 the tape. The speedy Tacoma
man has had time TO get Into better condi-
ton than when here last. and today VIII %
fryout between the king-pins OF Seattle
and Tacoma. In figuring on results II is
no; wise to lose SIGHT OF the fact that In
the one and two-mile handicap races
Schone stands asgood chance OF winning.
II is 10 be regretted that the ha2dfcap-
ping in track and field events has not~eeen
done IN such manner that the Inyarlahle
kick" would be at the minimum. AS IL
IS. however DIR. Lincoln, the Official handi-
capper. has done his work 50 poorly that
IL VIII have 20 DE characterized as the
grabbing system"
DR.. Lincoln, IN a letter explaining his
handicappsng of Quackenbush the T. A.
c. runner. and Graf. the s. A c. runner.
wherein the FORMER was given thirty yards
lead, says that he does not know whether
they are boys or men but that he goes
by the records gwen on the entry blanks
AS matter Of fact the blanks call for
"the last three performances" The uni
versal rule in handicapping is that II 2
man has never competed IN an event and
tbs Handicapped knows nothing OF his abl-
ity. he mus place him on the strangers
mark. or. in other words. give him the
limit by referring TO the official handi-
caps IL VIII be seen that in the ffty-yard
dash A. p. Calhoun is given one and one
half yards and c. Holcomb one yard. The
entry blanks show that neither man ever
competed in this event. Why there should
have been this difference In the handlcaps.
II the Handicapped goes by the records be-
fore him. is a matter thatThe local athletes
cannot figure out. This fault runs through
out the handicappeng. Andrews has FIVE
yards in the 1oo-yard dash Too much
Figuring on winners. following are fav-
orites: Connor. 50-yard dash; A w whal-
ley, the SSe-yard run. as he has IS yards
handicap over Morford: Hill dark horse:
Frank Atkins. running high jump, If he
comes up to form; Dickson or Andrews
the ieo-yard dash; Hill or Scott Calhoun
the hurdles; Palmer or Conner the pole
vault.
AS to the 4s0-yard run Il IS a hard matter
10 pick the first three men. IL Andrews
Is not run out he ought to be In place at
the finish
Bushell and Fre1ricks will be well I'd
Purv.s is the only man on the scratch.
anu II ne wins place he deserves great
credit. for the field is a strong one.
Added interest VIII be given 10 the NEE.
ny the announcement that Demorest, OF
Tacoma, who comes pretty near being In
All nnais. has entered for the open bicycle
events new man in the bicycle races
