Otto ZeIgier and His Opponents.
While great deal has been written in
relation to Otto Zeigier during the tour
of the California riders. 1t is not TO be
understood By any means that he stands
! ha4 zfa shn al
riders. Mr. Zeigier has several times re-
Gently been defeated for first place by
Allan Jones Eddie Allen. Danny Whitman
and Bert Elford. All these men are hot
riders and ride 10 win. There have been
many close races at San Jose between
Otto Zeigier and Allan Jones. The SD
prenacy was finally settled by match
/ race between the two, which resulted in a
/ victory for zelgisr. Jones, however. has
since ridden ahead Of the San Jose boy
in several exciting events.
Much interest Is being taken in the
match between Zeigler and sharick. and
Tacoma parties are giving their boy liberal
support The fact that no bets4ng VIII

that Will keep considerable money from

men are evenly match to make one OF the
most exciting contests ever seen on the
