The race between Bald and Cooper at
indianapolis proved that the general pub
lie, both East and West, will not patron
ize or approve match races in which the
French style of loafing is permitted. Dur
ing the race in question there was con-
tinuous round of Kisses emanating from
the grand stand, and many were the COM
plants from spectators that they had
been swindled. AS matter of fact. 1t
was perhaps the greatest race ever run
on cycle racing path, even though the
time was ridiculously slow. The experts
present were positively speechless in their
admiration of it. When the event had
been concluded it was common to hear
expressions of ecstacy from the managers,
trainers and newspaper men present, for
they had seen and appreciated the fine
points of the contest, whereas the Specta-
tors in the stands were wroth because
a heat was not run off in lightning time
And it was indeed a magnificent exhibit

the time made was nearly eight minutes
for the second heat of one mile, there
was not fifth of second in that time

tested by both competitors. But it was
contested with the head most of the time
and the feet did not have an inning until
the last lap and that is what the public
could not appreciate, and. what is more.

slant explanation to educate the public

attend race meets for that purpose ii
must be said that such contests will have

The national meet resulted in a whole
sale change in the points table for the
championship and furnishes many sur
prises for the talent. Eddie Bald. four
years the champion of the United States,
is now at the head of the table. and from
appearances will hold the position until
the end OF the season. For the first time
in the history of national meets he rode
in his great form and his friends were
consequently agreIably surprised at the
showing he made As a matter OF fact.
however, Floyd Mcfarland carried off the
honors OF the meet in point of actual re-
suits, he gaining 100 points to 80 for Bald.
This was accomplished by Mcfarland
getting first and a second in the cham
pionships while Bald got first and a
third Gardiner not only lost his lead
at the meet but was reiegated TO seventh

thought at the time he complained he
would be out of the running at the meet.
The best he could do was a fifth place.
He did not qualify in any OF the other

A very interesting feature of the races
and one which is of the greatest import
ance, though overlooked by all of the
critics present at the meet was a part
of the first days racing. In the semi
finals of the two-mile championship, the
third man in the. fastest heat was TO
qualify. In the second heat Mertens
made sneak" two laps from the tape
and by riding his best to keep away from
the bunch, finished the heat in two-fiflhs
of a second faster than the previous
heat. Bald finished third TO Mertens in
this heat and it being the faster of the
two, was qualified for the final. In the
final he finished third and added thirty
points to his score. Had Mertens not
made the sneak and thereby made
faster time than the pervious heat. Bald
would have been shut out of the final
and his score would have been thirty
points less Therefore had 1t not been
for the action of Mertens in this semi
final. Bald would not only not be in the
lead for the championship today but
would be tie with Kimb!e for fourth po-
sition and Mcfarland would have been
on top of the heap. Kimble's win of the
two-mile was The surprise of the meet
as he was not even counted upon to
show In the trial heats But he rode
like a fiend and captured one of the sixty
point races. He has a history which
shows that he furnishes these surprises
about once a year. and it came very OPP
portunely for him this year. as he is
now among the leaders for the cham
pionship. There are three more of the
championship distances to be ridden for
the big scores The rule providing that
any of the standard distances not ridden
at the national meet shall be assigned to
the national circuit and the scoring
shall be the same. These races will be
held in New York. Philadelphia, and
Baltimore late in the season, so that the
name of the champion will be in doubt
until almost the last meet.

In this connection it is often wondered
why promo: ers try to force such races up
on the public. The great majority of race
goers want something spectacular-with
fast close finishes, or the big machines
flying around the track in a middle dis
tance race-and match races Of the Bald
Cooper kind are not only losing invest
ments, but they hurt the sport by calling
condemnation down on it,
Leaving aside the public opinion of tia
race. there was one feature of il which
was fuH of possibilities and which will be
talked OF for many day by those who
thoroughly understand the sport This
was when Cooper and Bald were both
holding onto the same post. Bald on the
outside. with his arm across Cooper's
back and under his right arm, holding
onto the post by the very tips of his
fingers. Cooper tried 10 break this hold
by raising his back. thereby putting a
strain on Balds arm but an umpire
warned him to desist. The possibilities OF
the feature came in the results that
would have happened had Cooper sue
ceeded in breaking Bald's hold on the
post Had this been done, Bald would
unquestiorably have caught Cooper 10
save himself and both would have rolled
down the bank. Then the question as to
who was at fault and just what the status
of the race would have assumed would
have been the worst problem that ever
confronted the racing world. Fortunate
", this was avoided by the quick action
of the officials, but it was a close call
and one which was not even seen by
the grandstand occupants.

Population Conditions in Hawaii.

The Sandwich Islands have been the
home of a considerable number Of
American families for long time.
The grandchildren of the American
missionaries who transformed tho
islands are now mature men and wom-
en-. They send their children to an
excellent American college at Homo
lulu that has been in existence foe
many years, although it is the custom
for young NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to ob.
tain at least part of their educational
training in this country. Our race ex-
hibits no sign of deterioration in those
islands. The men of the second gen
Grafton have shown great ability, and
the young men of the third generation
are worthy of their American ancestry.
1t is true, of course, that the native
Hawaiians and the Chinese and Jap
anese agricultural laborers constitute
the bulk of the population. But the
influences that have shaped instit0-
lions and given type to the progress
and civilization of the islands have
been distinctively American. There
are by far more people of negro blood
than of white in South Carolina; but to
say that South Carolina is not al
Anglo. Saxon community in the strict
est sense is to play with mere verbal
fallacies. The welfare of all races ia
the Sandwich Islands requires that
they should be uuder white control. IL
is sheer nonsense to talk of obtaining
the consent of the entire population to
annexation, if one means to include
the great body of coolie, yellow skin
ned laborers who are there not as dOu0t-
ciled families, but as indentuTed visit
ors, working on the five-year- contract
plan, with the prospect of either vol
untary or involuntary return to thetC
own homes at the end of the labor per
iod. These laborers have been much
better off under President Dole's gov
eminent than in their own countries.
II they have not been allowed to par
ticipate in the administration Of Ha-

is enough to reply that they do not, la
fact, participate when at home in the
governments of China or Japan. As

accorded as much political privilege as
they are capable of exercising. Their
rights will be far better assured under
