HALE DROPS BACK.
Local Man Leading in the Chicago
SiN-Day Race.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-In the six-day
bicycle race at TatersalPs only eighteen
of the tWenty-nine riders were staying
at 9 o'clock tonight All are fresh
looking and working hard. At eighteen
hours, Fred Scninner, the local man,
led Hale by a score of miles and was
ahead of 11ale's record in the Madison
Square garden race last December.
With this record to his credit, Schin-
ner retired fCr a rest and rub down.
Ashinger, the Oklahoma boomer, then
gained the lead, and at the twentieth
hour Ashinger was saabout six miles
back of the record, with Schimmer
barely a mile back of Ashinger. Teddy
Hale, the champion, was troubled all
day with his stomach, losing the lead
thereby. Toward night he recovered
and made great going in the evening.
At late hour tonight the fight seemed
to be between Schinner, Ashinger and
Hale, with the chances in favor of the
former. Hale's stomach is very liable
to throw him out of the race and
Ashinger is hardly in shape to last the
week out. At the end Of the twenty
first hour the scores Of the nine lead
ing men were as follows: Schinner,
1858; Ashinger, 1866; Hale, $50; Miller, 324;
Lawson, 322; Stewart, 3O2; Holdbrecht,
297; Cartwright, 295; Hansen, 293; Tiff
Qegless rider), 1874.

under consideration. This path, when

st. Paul clear through to Como park
which was so popular last summer

In response to postal cards sent out
by President Ovitt Of the Cycle Path
association, inquiring whether wheel
men want to maintain cycle paths by
subscription same as last year, about
seventy replies were received. Forty-
one responded with money at treas
urer's office-all the others, except one,
promised to pay and were in favor of
proceeding with the work. This one
man thought he ought not to pay this
years subscription until the WheeImen
who did not subscribe last year were
made to pay. The officers of the CycI,,
Path association would like to have
every wheelman contribute what he
can afford, but they know of no way
under the present laws to enforce pay

FAIR PLAY
The case was stated in a nutshell by
one of Carson's citizens this afternoon.
Said he:
1.-THE state has a reputation for fair
play, and this will be preserved at no
matter what cost. There is room at
the race track for good-sized open-air
hospital for outside toughs who come
to make the bluff
The live bird shoot will be given
March 16, II and Is. Champion Elliott,
and trophy in this event. The birds
will come from San Francisco, and d
lively lot are guaranteed. Carver,
Budd, McAllister, Parmalee, and other
cracks will enter the competition
SO Mr.. COrbett's trainer, McVey,
thinks his ward is cool-headed," said
Fitzsimmons. ut is evident that McVey
knows no more about Corbett than he
does about training Has he forgotten
the time that Corbett lost his head and
tried to finish Charley Mitchell when
he was on his knees at Jacksonville?
He hit him three times on that occasion,
and would have killed him had it not
been for Jack Dempsey. Has McVey
forgotten the incident at the same fight
when COrbett walked over to Mitchell
after Charley had been counted out
and was hanging over the ropes and
smashed him again? Then again there
was the case of the man in PhiladeI-
phia, who wanted to fight Corbett, and
Jim put his trainer, Jim Daily, UP
against him, and Daily was getting the
worst Of it when the gong sounded
cat the end Of the second the Phila-
delphia went to his corner and was
sitting down when Corbett, incensed
at the beating Daily was getting, lost
his head and, walking over to the
Philadelphia, smashed him in the
face, almost putting him out. Post
yourself, McVey, on Corbett's GOODNESS
and correct your pugilistic statistics.
Concerning Corbett's fear that I will
use the pivot blow I can only add that
am here to face Corbett, and that not
for one instant will I turn my back
upon him. He need have no fear of
the pivot, AS I propose fighting fair
and square"

President A. B. Ovitt, of the st.
Paul Cycle Path association, yesterday
made public the plan which has al
ready been laid before large number
of the members of the association with
the most gratifying results. 1t is SIM
ply to secure a better return of paying
members to contributions for the con-
struction of bicycle paths, which, when
completed, are used by wheelmen and
wheelwCmen generally. It is designed
to furnish each cyclist, who has paid
his 81, with decalcomanie certificate
of membership, the certificate to be
pasted on his wheel Immediately be-
meath the handlebar, where it may be
readily seen.

will be three-quarters of an inch wide,
and about two and one-half inches
long, will be the legend in white let
tiers on a blue background

statement is based partly on what
saw in Bob's fight with Maher. i
think all fair-minded persons will
agree with me when 1 say Maher is
one of the hardest hitters in the ring
today. Well, he smashed Bob twice,
good and hard, but the blows did not
bother him at all. When Fitzsimmons
landed on the Irishman, the big fellow
went down, and one more little punch
put him to sleep.
"Corbett's game will probably be
to spar at long range, the same as
he fought Sullivan, but, as soon as
he begins to fight in real earnest, BOB
will keep moving, and it will only be
matter of time before he is put out.
Many people profess to believe that
FftZsimmons won't be able to land on
Jim. Why not? Mitchell landed on
Corbett, and made him think for a
while. If Mitchell could do that, how
much better can our man, with his adj
vantage in reach and everything else,
too? Take my word for it, as soon as
Fitz lands, it will be all over but the
shouting"
JULIAN JAW"
Upon learning what Julian and Fitz
had to say about the outcome of the
battle, Corbett said
"Oh, WELL l am not making that kind
of talk. If they like to hear them
selves speak, why, it's all right. 1t
does not hurt anybody. 1 am surprised
at Fltzsimmons running out in the
snow today 1 don't think it is a very
GOOD thing for him to do, but l guess
he knows best. About this loud talk
from their side, you just wait until
Brady gets here, and then there will
be some fun. He can out-talk the
Of nd i, Of to
say what he thinks, either. I expect
him on Thursday; he left New York to-
day"
With regard to Sharkey's statement
that he has in his possession letters
from Corbett that, if published, would
stamp him as a fakir of the worst kind,
Jim had very little to say beyond de-
nylng the truth of the report, and
saying that Sharkey had evidently be-
come affected with a touch Of what he
characterized as the Julian jaw"

SKATING TRIALS THURSDAY.
Snow Prevented Their Happening
Yesterday Afternoon.

After the wind came the snow, and
as a result the skaters who have been
planning a series Of speed trials against
the worlds skating records were COM
PEELED at late hour yesterday to
postpone the races until Thursday
evening of this week. Manager Comis-
key has assured the skaters that he
will keep the rink in condition until
that time, although it had been his in
tention to close last night. In order
that there need not be any superfuous
ice and snow to clear off for the open
ing of the base ball season late in
April. Last year the Iateness of the
abandonment Of the rink was a source
of much annoyance to the base ball
people, and this year it is not desired
to have any trouble of that sort.

In each case the loser had an apparent
winning position which was lost by
want of closer study at the critical
point. In both cases a housing after
small fry in the shape of pawns took
