BECKER's STAR WORK.
Minneapolis Rider Bree king Records
in California.

The Velodrome race track in San Francisco
was the location of a great deal of excite
ment last Monday over the accomplishment Of
w. e. Becker the fast cyclist of Minneapolis.
His brother received a Letter from him stating
that he had won the championship for the
ive-mile race, breaking the record. He did
the five miles in 9:54 4-5. This is the worlds
competitive record. Micheel's worlds record
was 1920.
Becker was the star attraction at Velo-
drome at this meet. He was matched with
Slater for the five mile race, but before the
first mile was finished, it was only a mater
OF lowering the record; Slater was not in it.
Every mile was done in less than two min
utes. The Minneapolis man would have
undoubtedly won the mile besides, had it not
been for fall he had when leaving the bunch.
In the five mile struggle he was paced by
Dow, Boyden and Freeman on triplet but
at the end of the first mile several seconds
were lost for Becker by a cnange, Chapman
and Allen taking up the pace. This team was
disadvantage to him. Prof. Hasten, Beck
er' manager during last summer, was consid-
era6ly elated over the success, and Is wholly
confident that Becker will be king of the cir
cult before another summer is over,

College Athletic Notes.

The mid-winter athletic meet of the Uni.

The Chicago, Northwestern and Minnesota
universities will participate in the events.
Harvard has officially decided not to admit
the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia
crews In the inter collegiate race at Pough-
keepsie this year owing to Harvard's agree
ment with Yale. Cornell, in accepting Yales
entry, made the request that Pennsylvania
and Columbia be permitted to participate,
making great quintangular affair Cornell is
in honor bound to row Pennsylvania and Col
umbia, and unquestionabIy will do so, but
upon what date has not been settled.
Cambridge university is this year making
tremendous efforts to win the boat race AS
at present constituted the crew are about ten
pounds lighter than their Oxford opponents
and they contain fewer of last years men.
Dudley Ward, one of the new oars in the
Cambridge boat, was the best of last years
Eton crew which rowed SO well at Henley.
1t has been great disappointment that the
two brothers, Rupert and Ernest Guinness,
sons Of Lord Iveagh, are not available for
Cambridge. Both crews have last years
strokes, Oxford keeping Gold, an old Elton
boy, and stroke Of the brilliant New college
crew at Henley last year. while Cambridge

work of the day, besides the election
of officers, was the adoption of amend
ments to the constitution which make
some important changes, but evoked
little discussion. Just previous to this
1t was voted to admit Boston college,
Pennsylvania college and Haverford
college to membership. A commune
cation asking the same privilege was
received from the Leland Stanford
university, of California, and. after
brief discussion, the request was also
granted.

GEORGE SILER, REFEREE.
He Will Play Star Part In the Cor
bett-FitzsimmOns Fight

Now, that all the vexatious preliminaries
OF the Corbett-Fitzsmmons prizefght are
practically completed, the public mind is busy
Ing itself with matters pertaining more direct
ly to the grea mill itself. AS to the princi-
pals, daily bulletins announce that they are
training with all due diligence, and rapidly
adding to their wealth of physical force.
They are also doing little talking now and
then between rubdoWns, and all they say and
all they do is undoubtedly very entertaining
to many thousands of people.
But there is another figure which will loom
up on the day of the fight conSpicuously
as will either Of the actual contestants. This
is George Siler, the referee. Indeed, in his
capacity of arbiter of results on that notable
occasion, he will be by far the most important
person present. Additional interest attaches
to Siler's occupancy of the position from the
fact that he had been selected to act in like
capacity in the Corbett- Fitzsmmons fight of
a year ago-the fight that failed. That Siler
was again named for the important post
when the heavyweights made their second
agreement was not only a high personal COM
pliment to the Chicago man, but distinct
tribute of his knowledge of the great game
of FISTS and the reliability of his judgment
under all circumstances. The big fellows,
who are always giving each other great broad
sides Of talk and back talk, have never had
anything but good words for Sier. In this
single particular they have agreed.
This is because Siler deserves his good rep
utation. A score of years ago he was one of

TATTERSALLS, Chicago, Feb, 81
The closing hours of the worlds six
day and siX-night race were held with
enthusiasm. Fully 10000 people crowd
ed Tattersalps building. The paddock
enclosed by the track was packed and
the press stand was overlooking. The
cheering Of the spectators aroused the
remaining contestants to renewed eff
forts.
AT 9 o'clock the order was: Schin-
'neer, Miller, Ashinger, Lawson, the
Terrible Swede;" and Hansen, the
"rain-maker, with hardly foot be-
tween them. Hannaht. the fireman"
dropped out of the race at 2:30 p. m.
He was thrown from his wheel by a
trainer attempting to cross the track,
after riding 1,4SO miles, lacking 12O
miles of having enough to secure a
prize for his long, weary ride.
At 1905 p. m. Fred Schinneer, Of
Germany, was declared champion long
distance rider of the world, having
covered 1,7SS miles and laps, but
lacking 122 miles Of coming up with
Hale's Madison Square Garden record
Charles Miller, also of Germany, got
second place, with Charles Ashinger
third, John Lawson, the Terrible
Swede," fourth and Anton Hansen,
fifth. While the physical condition of
the five riders, who finished, looked
discourag1ng to the future Of six-day
racing, the men were not considered
in a serious condition.
Fred Schinneer the winner, speaking
of his long endurance, says that he
feels strong and in a healthy condi-
ton, and with sleep and a little rest,
he will be able to defend the title he
has just won. He will leave in ten
days for an extended trip through the
South, visiting New Orleans, Birming-
ham and points in Texas and Old
Mexico, and, upon his return to Chi
cago, will enter college with the money
won and will graduate as a mechanical
engineer

461 miles riding less than an average

much from saddle soreness, a COM

Everybody at FitzSimmons' training
quarters is depressed at the news CT
the death Of Mrs. Julian, and the stout
little manager has not yet got his
brother-in-law fully started at his
