STRICKEN SUDDENLY I'LL.
For the Second Tine Danbury Loses
His Sight.

For the Second Time q Danbury Loses
His Sight.
Danbury, March 10.-Freddie Wheel
err, the young son of F. C. Wheeler, pro-
prietor of the Gem restaurant on White
street was suddenly stricken blind on
Sunday. and is now in New York hos
pital under treatment.
A few months ago the lad was sud
denly made blind while walking down
White street one evening. His eyelids
were closed without his volition, and
he had feeling as though water or
blood was falling down over his eyes,
but he suffered no pain to speak Of.
This attack he recovered from after
several weeks, but although the recov-
cry seemed to be complete. there were
fears that he might be subject to an
other attack.
The present calamity came on almost
as suddenly as the other, with even
more disagreeable symptoms. The
blindness is accompanied with terrible
pains in the head, which were so severe
that the young lad could not sleep at
night.
Monday afternoon Mr.. Wheeler took
his son to New York city, where he will
be given a thorough treatment by a
specialist.

The third annual banquet of the en-

lated that in all future celebrations
they would bear the expense. This was
agreed to, and at the reunion last even

one hundred persons. 1t was a sumpt-

banquet began at 8 o'clock, at which
time the day men, numbering nearly
one hundred, were comfortably seated
at the well-laden tables. There We're

address, referring to the pleasant rela-
tions existing between the management

many more would be held.
Remarks were also made by General

BALD DEFEATS KIMBLE.
Three Pretty Heats in the Race at
Louisville Yesterday.
/ to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LOUISVILLE, May 17.-This afternoon at
Fountain Ferry Park Eddie Bald, of Buff
faIo, defeated Owen Kimble, of this city,
in a match race. The event was run in
mile, the second half mile and the third
a mile. Kirlble won the first heat by two
lengths in AS 20 seconds. Bald won the half
mile in 1926 rs and the mile in 2:11 80. The
mile heat was paced.
The last heat was fine exhibition. The
track is a third of a mile and it required
three laps for the heat. The two men staid
together until they entered the back stretch
on the final lap. Bald was leading by a
half length, when he suddenly spurted and
when the turn was reached he was a good
three lengths away from the Louisville boy.
1t was then that Kimbe showed the stuff
he is made of. He bent to his work and
as they swung into the stretch the specta-
tors could see the space close steadily be-
tween the wheels. Kimble closed up the
space so well than when the winner crossed
the tape he was less than a foot behind.
1t was a beautiful race and a beautiful
finish. The mile was just little too short
for Kinble to regain the distance lost in
the back stretch. Kimbe said afterward
that he looked for his opponent to squirt
after the turn. He was taken a little off
his guard and allowed Bald to get too far
away before he was aware OF 1t.
The mile handicap was won by Tom
David, the Indianapolis boy. Carl Thome
was second and w. j.. Becker was third.
These three men belong to the Outing team.

new bicycle game, or rather. a game
which can be played on wheels, has lately
been evolved by bicycle genius, says the
St. Paul Pioneer Press.
1t is called the royal game and requires a
court or field. divided into alleys Two
teams of nine riders each take part, and
the field is divided into q right and left
field with the courses chalked out plainly.
An alley way constructed of ropes or
cables, extends from the upper to the lower
field on the division line between the right
and left field Gables also form two upright
sides, between which the play wheel rolls
and is driven backward or forward by the
riders in passing at any point between the
lower and upper field. The play wheel is a
single bicycle rim having a four and one
half inch pneumatic tire
The idea of the game is to drive this play
wheel from the center field, through attack
of opponents, to a goal ahead, the riders
using sticks especially made for the game
The ends of the alley ways are the goals
for the respective teams.
Players ride in single file and always cir
Gle to the left Thus the two teams are
constantly meeting and passing each other
in opposite directions on the upper side of
the alley way
Royal is a game requiring swift riding
and much skill, and novice would scarce
ly venture to form one of team.

Bald aud Cooper VIII Race.

1t will be a source of great satisfaction
to those interested in cycle races to know
that Eddie Bald and Tom Cooper are en-
tered in a race together and will very
shortly have the opportunity to show each
other their mettle. While all the rag chew
ing was going on at Louisville and about
fifty attempts were made to get the men
together for match race, the managers
for the two men had quietly entered them
to compete in the Memorial day road race
at Waltham, Mass. Bald was entered first
and it is now announced that Arthur Peck
had signed for Cooper over week ago.
The fact that Cooper was last to enter
gives him another inning in the mouth bat
tie which the two racers have been wag-
ing all spring. Each has been declaring
that the other was afraid to meet him and
every sort of scheme was arranged to con-
vince the public that this was the fact
First Bald would make a proposition which
Cooper could not accept and then Bald
would get the applause Then Cooper would
would have an inning. The only thing real
ly accomplished by these tactics was to
convince the public that both were afraid.
Efforts were made to bring the men to-
gether at various points, including Grand
Rapids, Detroit, Michigan City and Buff
falo. but there was always some objection.
The fact probably was that both men real
lied that If they should meet one of them
would lose his reputation and the other
would become the champion. This would be
a sad blow TO the one and not a great
advantage TO the other Probably the men
were better satisfied to let the thing drift
along both being looked upon as cham
pions, than to take the chance of defeat.
The fact that Cooper now enters the
Waltham road race after Bald may be evil
dence that he is willing to take that chance
1t may not, however, mean anything of the
kind. 1t may simply mean another inning
in the great mouth contest. 1t is an easy
matter for one of the men to be out of
condition and fail to start. Anyhow a road
race victory or defeat would not have the
effect of materially changing the positions
the two men now hold as racing men. A
match race or the result of a series of
open contests such as are run on the Ma
tiOnal Circuit alone would do this
