mob of masked white men, not col

The Cycling West is keeping up its ag-
| itation in favor of l.. A. w. relinquish-
ment of race control, and for Sunday
racing. In recent issue 1t says:
| : Cycle racing as conducted today has
evoluted from the simple proportions
Of reactive sport to the grave status Of
a purely business proposition. Where
once men simply rode for glory they are
| now riding for gain There is not man
on the track today but who is there
simply for what is in it, and even road
| racing is based on the same conSidera-
| ton Training and handling have as
! sumed the proportions of profession,
and cycle racing of all kinds is in the
same category as professional baseball,
horse racing and kindred amusements.
In light of its assumed purity in such
| matters the league is eminently unquali-
fled to control racing. The sport has
grown beyond its somnolent ineffici-
ency and should be delegated to more
active hands better adapted to regulate
its intricate complications. The league
has developed no business capacity to
handle such conditions. Racing is a
business now and should be governed
from business standpoint by business
men,"
Massachusetts has passed a law i'm
posing penalty for the second offense
Of stealing bicycle, valued It $40, of i'm
prisonment in the state penitentiary not
exceeding five years or a fine of not less
than 800. Chicago wheelmen hope the
Illinois legislature will pass the Monroe
bill, which provides similar punishment
and makes the theft of bicycle a felony.

writhing throng. He seemed incapable of

writhing throng. He seemed incapable of
fear.
Suddenly tremor darted through his
huge frame and look of apprehension
settled on his still bloody face.
The pugilist felt a cold, clammy sensa-
ton on the right side of his neck. ami
glancing down saw the cleaning barrel
of a well developed shooting iron resting
on his shoulder.
Visions of death in his fighting shoes
passed swiftly before the pugilist's mind.
He could feel that the gun was clasped by
muscular hand. and then felt the left
arm of the gun wielder thrown about his
left shoulder.
The boxer was preparing to make a
mighty effort to save his life or sell 1t us
dearly as possible, when a voice hissed
in his ear:
Keep quiet, Bob. You're perfectly
safe The first galoot that moves fin
ger at you will get perforated with lead
till he looks like a porous plaster Wyatt
Earp's your friend"
Bob stood perfectly quiet till the COM
motion subsided, and then, when the gun
was withdrawn. the boxer heaved a sigh
of relief and retired in good order.
This was the unique method employed
by Wyatt carp to square" himself with
Fitz. who was deprived of little matter
of $4,000 by Earp's decision in the bout
with Sharkey at San Francisco. carp
and Sharkey's seconds were probably
the only ones who saw the alleged foul
blow, and the consensus of opinion is
that 1t was an outrageous decision.
However, Mr.. carp no doubt considers
that the production of his trusty shoot
ing iron and the preservation of Fitz
from real or imaginary danger, wipes
out any claim Fitz may have had. The
Cornishman makes a wry face when he
thinks of that $4,000, but he evidently
considers it wise not to oppose Mr.. carp
and his handy gun.

THE KENNEL

The indications are that the inaugural
bench show of the Oakland Kennel club
will have an exceptionally strong list of
entries, and that Los Angeles and South
ern California will be literally repre-
sented. This show, which opens May
18th and closes on the 18th, will be fol-
lowed by the exhibition of the San Fran
cisco Kennel club at Mechanics pavil
ion, in that city. The premium list for
this latter show is the most liberal ever
offered on the coast. among the prizes
being several fine trophies. Los Angeles
should certainly try and bring to South
ern California one or more Of these, at
least.
A certain class of carpetknights, says
the Sportsman Review, who have never
seen a setter or a pointer in the field,
will always be found at the various dog
shows discussing bench show form like
lot of wise philosophers. They spin
wonderful theories regarding good form,
and seem to think 1t as easy to design q
model setter or pointer on beautiful
bench show lines as it is for the tailor to
make model man by placing fashion
able suit on him. If these theorists would
relize that the proper type OF every serV-
iceable species of dog is not regulated
by art, but by nature, they would learn
valuable lesson. Bench show form. az
applied to pointers. settlers, greyhounds
and all sporting classes, must be based
on the best form for field work Mere
points of beauty may suffice in deciding
on the merits of certain pet dogs or
points of ugliness in others; but field
dogs have practical use and should be
judged on that score. Such men as hon
est John Davidson, "Uncle Dick" Fell
lows and Tim Donoghue have graduated
in practical school and always judge q
dog on his real merits, rather than on the
quality of the chain, or of the social sta
tus of the person who holds it. Neither
Gould nor gold cuts any figure in the
awards of these Judges.

Many people of good intentions use
the term "a dead-game sport" when re-
ferring to some friend or acquaintance
who is passionately fond of field sports,
says the Sportsman's Review. This per-
sistent use of the phrase has been so
long indulged in that the majority of
people have a perverted idea of its true
meaning. The genuine sportsman con-
siders 1t an insult to be called dead
game sport, yet in most cases those who
use the term seem to think they are COM
plimenting the party referred to- Avery
polite person, upon being introduced to
keen field sportsman, remarked: Il
am delighted to meet you sir. l under
stand you are dead-game sport. Par
don me, sir. but you have been misin-
formed; I have never been in the prize
ring, never wagered money on dog fights
and never attempted to break faro
bank. 1 am simply sportsman, fond of
healthy outdoor sports" was the reply,
and the new acquaintance, quick to see
the distinction, apologized for his error.
1t will be happy day for the devotee of
many recreations when the dear, delud-
ed public ceases to regard him as dead
game sport.
