STAR POINTER WON.
Fastest First Heat of "a Race Ever
Paced.

The $4,000 people who went to the Wash
ington Park course at Chicago Saturday
afternoon saw the fastest first heat ever
paced, and probably the fastest fourth
quarter. The conditions were good for fast
time. The track was springy and fast and
the weather was warm, but during the
earlier part Of the afternoon there was
quite little breeze. which the PAGERS had
to breast on the back stretch.
The chief event on the card was the
match race between Joe Patchen, with a
record of 2O11s. and Star Pointer. whose
record is 201 "a. The conditions were
that they should pace three heats and
have the inside position alternately. The
toss of a coin gave Patchen the pole for
the first and third heats withstandilg
this advantage, and the fact that he had a
quarter Of a second the better of his uppo-
Eent in the matter of records, the race
demonstrated that Star Pointer was too
fast for him. for the latter won all three
of the heats handily, outfooting the black
horse.
The heats were won in 200, 2.O4 Ia and
2.O4. Pointer made the last quarter of the
first heat in 20 seconds.

Twenty-Five Of the sunny sons of Italy
who grind knives and scissors for live
lihcod. and make their presence On the
streets known by tinkling bell, were be-
fore the Commissioners this morning to
protest against the action of the police in
arresting them for making a noise.
They were represented by Mr.. C. c. Mo-
reno, who made a strong appeal 20 the
Commissioners to permit them to ply their
trade unmolested. The tinkle of the bell
disturbed no one, he said. and it would
be unjust TO take away from them this
slight privilege of advertising their pres
ence. He asked that they be allowed to
ring their bells between am. and pm.
The Commissioners before acting upon
the matter, requested one of the grinders
to appear before them this afternoon at
o'clock and tinkle his bell in order that
they may judge of its tone and decide
whether 1t Is a nuisance.

MlCHAEL'S GREAT CYCLING

The Little WeIch Wonder Defeated
His Habits and His Wheel.

Jimmy Michael, the young Welsh cyclist

Jimmy Michael was born in Wales He
has been bcyclst almost from babyhood.
He used to take spins along the country
roads near his home. Then, as a mere
youngster. he entered the local races and
made successes which were a surprise to
the community in which he lived. He was
then doing no training, and paying little at
tention to diet. His first race was i'm 1891
The last victory which he attained as an
amateur was in the great 1OO-mile race in
London, in 1894. He covered the distance
in four hours and nineteen minutes, win
ming by a safe margin and breaking the
record every mile from 40 to 100. He low
cred the time for the entire distance by
ten minutes.
He became rated as professional short
~ after this victory, and began to train
regularly. He went to Paris, where he
raced for two years. He lost the first three
races and then won twenty-four out of the
next twenty-five. He was then training
under Warburtcn. His work consisted of
dumb bell exercises, walking, work with
The pulleys and plenty of riding upon the
track or road. 1t was this first trainer of
his who laid out the plan of his life for
him, which has had so much to do with his
success. The two great precepts of this
system were substantial food and nine
hours sleep.

Result of Careful Trimming.

Jimmy Michael is hardly more than
red-faced youngster, and he weighs 1Gi
Lounds, yet this Michael can ride bicycle
18th the swftness of the wind He has in
his well-trained muscles more power in
proportion than a steam engine.
Michael used a machine geared to 112.
The front Sprocket wheel seems out OF all
proportion to the machine. 1t has thirty
two teeth, while the rear sprocket has eight
teeth. This hIEh-geared wheel is no easy
thing to set in motion. 1t Is like riding
your bicycle up steep hill on sandy
read. When once Jimmie Michael has
this machine going, however, friction and
resistance are set at naught. His legs are
Ike piston rods. He has the limbs of a
II ained athlete. He never seems to tire,
and his endurance has never been known to
fail.
The secret of Jimmie Michaers success
is not in high geared wheels, however, but
in careful and consistent training. There
have been those who have equaled him in
Shcrt bursts of speed, yet as a long-distance
rider he is without peer. When others
pedal with laggard feet ana droop over the
ha ndlebars. Jimmie" Michael appears to
be vigorous he was in the beginning
of the race. In the six years in which he
has been before the public-and he is only
twenty years old-he has made racing his
business. He has permitted nothing to N
te,fere with it. He arises early and goes to
bed carly. He does not smoke or drink.
His diet is simple, and his life is like that
of a Spartan.
His Daily Life.

Jimmie" Michael is simple and unos-
tentatious is his manner of life. He is
| a good-natured, vigorous, healthy boy. The
world and the evil thereof are sealed books
to him. He thinks only of riding and OF
getting ready to ride. His life is possessed
with one idea, and his soul is content He
is unassuning in his manner and never
speaks of his work unless he is questioned.
