This is equity and right. At first the
makers had to Go, and offered, TO do,
things that are now obsolete. To para
phrase, every bicycle ought to stand on
its own bottom. Sans a guarantee, ev-
cry one will be judged on its individual
merit, and irresponsible dealers be at a
loss for business. The other important
subject decided by the directors of the
National board was the reiteration. mo
Show" This does not meet with the
same hearty approval from the dealers.
Local shows are popular. and the Ge-
mand of the public will be met, irrespec-
tive Of the decision of the board. One
will be held during January in New
York, another is under way in Chicago,
and Philadelphia will not be denied. AL
together, with the chainless wheel COM
ing axld the change in financial affairs,
the cycle trade promises busy time.
There are times in the experience of
all wheelmen when a good brake that
will act as means of instantly stop
ping the wheel is badly needed in order
to avoid collisions. An appliance of
that kind has been patented recently,
which is said to fill the bill completely.
1t is a brake, practically invisible to the
casual observer but which acts with
effectiveness simply by the involuntary
motion of back-pedalng, which every
rider uses when he finds himself in a
tight place. The invention has only been
out about month and has not yet beer,
placed on sale except in the east. The
brake fits snugly al the rear sprocket /
and consists simply Of a papier mache
friction drum, which is set into action
by the retrograde motion. Its results
are swift and sure, so much so, in fact,
that rider using one for the first time
will be astonished at it's suddennsss
This brake fills long-felt want. No
matter how experienced a rider is he
sometimes gets caught where he is
bound. to dismount in an instant's time,
and with even low gear it is frequent
ly impossible to come to anything like
full stop at times. The result is that
he must jump and take his chances of
a sprained ankle. Moreover, the evils of
back-pedaling, both to rider and wheel
are so numerous that for some time the
cycling authorities have advocated a re-
turn to the brake. The disadvantages
of the unsightly and tire-destroyins s
brake are too obvious to need mention.

Toe Wheeler has record that has
never been equaled in California, and
which is the best ever made by any
4-year-old gelding. 1t consists of the
two fastest heats made consecutively
on the Oakland track in 2:071s and 2:Os1s.
Wheeler won six straight races this sea-
son. and comes to Los Angeles after
seasons campaigning which has put
him in fine condition. Our Boy seems
to be two or three seconds behind his
company in this race, but he may sur
prise some people. With Silkwooo,
Searchlight, Joe Wheeler and Our Boy

is often seen here. Willitts is not driv-

On Saturday also will be run the Los

be in at the winning, and perhaps in the
winning. With 120 pounds up he has

will have an entry in Pleasanton, which
the racing men from that section of the
state will back heavily. Sacramento's
entry is Marcie A, while Kentucky will

lists. and the rivalry between their own
ers is something more than the mere
money to be won. Both are in ex-
cellent condition and both will be pushed
if necessary to win.
1t has been asked how it happened
that horses like these, who can go in
2:0S or better, are in the 2:3O class.
Early in the season the directors of the
association decided to close several of
the races without reference to the re-
classification rules. Horses were en-
tered at the season class they then had,
and after the entries closed, July lst,
the subsequent work of the horses en-
tered did not affect their classification
in the races here. This was merely an
experiment, and while it may work
somewhat OF a hardship to compara-
lively slow horses, it promises to give
good racing in the 2:90 event.

There is plenty of good material in this

One of the most promising set of
youngsters in this part of the state is
the Los Angeles military academy

for several weeks practicing the new
things in the game, of which there are
quite a number this year. There will be

SPORT AFIELD

A larger number of sportsmen have
taken to the field this year early in the
open season than for several years and
not day passes but that some party
leaves the city for the marshes or the
large game preserves TO spend several
days in what they consider the grandest
of all sports. They have of course met
with varying success, some having re-
turned with well filed bags while others
have had their trouble for their pains.
The several clubs near the city are

no less than 150 sportsmen left for day
in the fields or behind the blinds.
Quail are abundant, but there has
been so much hunting that they already
have become shy, and to secure a good
bag necessitates more skill thar was
necessary week ago, or requires a
longer trip TO reach points where there
las not beet1 so much shooting. AS is
always the case the pot bunter is out in
numbers and in spite of the ordinance
passed by the supervisors, there have
been many violations of the marketing
laws. At one OF the markets in this city
fifteen dozen quail were offered for sale
On the mornitas that the open season be-
gan. TO have secured these by legiti-
mate means was an impossibility. They
were certainly killed day or two before
the season opened which is a violation
of the law and punishable by severe pen

On the marshes the season has hardly
opened yet. There have been large
flights of ducks, but as the weather
north is not yet severe enough to drive
the birds south the number that have
arrived is nothing as compared with
what will be within a few weeks. Al
ter the first heavy rains there Will be
about as many ducks as sportsmen care
to shoot at, but at present only COM
paratively small bags have been secured.
The present state of affairs requires
more skill than will be needed later on
when ducks can be killed for the loading
of the guns.
John Schumacher and Frank Emery
spent two days last week at Judge
Egan's ranch and secured fifteen dozen
quail. They report that there are many
birds there. The place is so large that it
has been hunted over but little. Several
other sportsmen will go there this week.

bites) in the country.

morning he secured twenty-five ducks.

In it's crusade against violators Of the
game laws and for the proper restric-
tions against market hunters, Field
Sports has been doing work that every
sportsman in the state should appre-
ciate. Its arguments in favor of the
proper protection Of game is stated in
the following from the current number
of the paper:
"If the game which is killed by the
market hunter is preserved for those
who shoot for pleasure, it will continue
to furnish sport for many years for
thousands of men, and these men will
seek such localities as afford them the
greatest sport. There are already many
large cities in the state and the sports
men Of these cities will go to Butte coun-
ty and such others as maintaina a reason

patronize your hotels, your restaurants,
your livery stables; they will drink

It would seem from recent develop
ments in football tactics that the day
for the passing of the tackling dummy
was slowly but surely pushing its dawn
into view.
George Woodruff, the famous coach OF
the Pennsylvania eleven, has introduced
an innovation into the practice of his
team. The inanimate dummies used By
Harvard and Yale are, to his mind, too
crude. They are primitive, and he be-
lieves the time has come for the rele-
cation of such hoary- whiskered meth
DDS to the limbo of things with a past.
Woodruff asserts that players who
learn to tackle by inanimate dummy in
struction are very likely to quail when
the proposition of a hard, determined
runner copfronts them. Then, too the
tackling, when something alive comes
along, IS altogether different from that
