howard Freeman. OF Portland has been
| making the top-notcherE OF the East work
their pedals for all they are worth In order
| 10 Keep him from sweeping the board. At
the national circuit bicycle meet in Char
iofte, N. C., November 3. he fought out
the mile open with Eddie Bald, the great
ess rider In the United States. and was
beaten by narrow margin. In the same
race Fred Loughead. the American quar-
ter-miie and one-n1ile champion, was COM
peisd to content himself with third The
next day Freeman came 10 the front In the
ohe-tniro mile open and crossed the sire
ahead or all the big ones This is the SEC
ord time he has led the van on the national
circuit, and ne is commencing TO be racog-
nized as factor In all Of the races Dur
ing his short turn in the East he has won
TWO hrsts. three seconds. three thirds and
FOUR fourths. After racing az Atlanta Ca.
freeman Intended TO try Jacksonville, Fla,
| and also Tampa. Fla. after which ne was
scheduled 10 take part in the meet al Madi-
son Square Garden The New York races
close the season Freeman Will probably
winter In New York and start out In the
spring from there.
Considering the fact that ne went East
perfect stranger and took his place among
the fastest riders In the country without
any one to look after him. his success has
been truly phenomenal. To one who is not
| well acquainted with racing In general 1t
would appear that the only question OF a
! Pacific coast mans success I'm the East
would be as to his speed. AZ matter Of
| fact, that Is only one Of the factors. OF
course Il is absolutely necessary that a
rider have speed before he can hope 10 cope
with the leaders but II that Is all he has
his record at the end OF the season will not
amount to much. He must be cool deter
mined and possessed OF a good head in
order to succeed. Freeman does not ap-
pear to be daring rider. and at first glance
one IL inclined to doubt that he has the
strength to carry him through a hard
fought race. After seeing him make one
finish In q two or three-nIfle handicap this
impression fades away. giving place to one
or wonder at the reserve force and bril-
liancy shown in his work. He is fearless,
and no matter how close the wheels are
running down the home stretch he will hold
his course and never give up until the wire
Is crossed. He has succeeded fl acquiring
what bicycle riders call the Jump and he
uses II at the finish to great advantage.
At the moment he brings this into play he
shows the great power in his legs. More
than this. the absolute control of the wheel
is proved. because It is impossible to
Jump the wheel when going al a high
rate OF speed without being perfect mas
ter OF It. Freeman's success In the East
has proved that he is an adept in the sci
ence of track work. This term covers a
wide range and applies 20 all kinds OF
racing. In other words IL he were not up
to all the tricks of the trade he would not
get to the front in any race unless he was
sod nf on
sense allows one 10 credit him with.
Hunters are In the habit of speaking In
enthusiastic terms OF WILDLY island as a
place where all kinds OF good shooting
may be had. After few days with Ned
McCrohan. one Of the old timers and best
known hunters on the island. have come
TO the conclusion that the stories passed
around are true. The pleasure Of hunting
on WILDLY island consists, not alone IN
the fact that there is game there but also
I'm the fact that there IL a great variety.
In one days alone I hunted ducks, snipe.
quail and pheasants. c. b. Yandell. son OF
Coroner Yandeli. was with me. 1 must
confess that he and Mr.. McCrohan did the
killing but / had the satisfaction of bla2-
ing away. Prior 70 visiting WILDLY island
Mr., Yandeli and myself passed two days
very pleasantly at la Conner, visiting Or.
