LOCAL oLUB RUNS WELL PATRON
ICED BIZ CYCLISTS OF BOTH SEXES

Southern Association Prefern Peace TO war.
There was a marked increase in the attend
anco on tho local club runs yesterday. The
Long Island and New Jersey sections were over
run with wheelmen and wheelwomen. Conoy
Island and Bath Beach maintained their popu-
larity with tho cyclors, both places being visited
by crowds of riders. Wheelmen arriving homo
at dusk were caught In a thunder shower. and
wound up their outing in a bedragRlcd condition.
Tho result of tho big match race between
Jenny Michael and Frank Starbuck at Man
haitian Beach on Saturday was widely discussed
yesterday. Starbuck's friends, who were hope.
full that he would win, now incline to the belief
that Michael is tho better long distance man.
Starbuck made q game and uphill fight, but tho
fact that Saturdays race marked Michael's
second victory over tho American proves unquos-
toned superiority. Starbuck will meet Jesna on
Saturday in a twenty-five mile match race at
Boston, and the result will probably furnish a limo
on tho respective merits OF Michael and Lesna.
Arrangements have been mado for a twenty-five.
mile match race between Michael and Lesna to
take place at Springfield on Sept. IS. The Swiss
expert Is considered the most likely man now in
this country to give a good, hard race to
Michael. and a large following OF the racing
element believe that Lcsna can defeat the little
Welshman.
According to the statements OF the leaders in
the secession movement, which has extended to
New Orleans, the formation and growth Of the
Southern Cyclists Association is assured. Pres.
ident John Dymond. Jr.. OF tho Southern
Cyclists Association Is now in this city on n
visit. In an interview with THE Sun reporter
on the existing conditions and future prospects
of the independent movement down South he
says;
