A NEW GRADE CREATED
JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP in THE l.. A.
w. NOW AN ASSURED FACT.
Rules for Deciding n Bet-VariOus
Odds and Ends OF Interest to
WheeImen.

Junior membership in the League of
American Wheelmen, Indiana division. is
now fact. A vote on the subject was taken
by the board of officers for the division re-
Gently. 1t was by mail and all the votes
were in the hands Of the chief consul yes
terday. 1t was unanimous for the adoption
Of the amendment which admits boys and
girls to the L. "A. w.
The proposition to admit certain boys
and girls between the ages of twelve and
eighteen years was made at the meeting of
the assembly in St. Louis last February.
1t was offered in the form of an amendment
to be. adopted by such division as saw fit
to adopt it. 1t was first introduced as a
positive amendment, but it met with such
opposition from some sources that a COM
promise was reached by which it was left
to the discretion of the board of officers of
the several divisions whether the new order
of things should apply to their districts
Several divisions have already adopted the
new rule. Indiana has not yet admitted to
membership any applicants under the new
order, but hopes to add recruits right along
now that the thing has been put in work.
ing order. Under the change the juniors
shall be boys and girls between the ages
named above whose parents or legal guar
dams are league members. The price of in
itiation is placed at Is cents and the an
nual dues at so cents, making total first
cost of rs cents. This membership entities
them to all the privileges within the divis-
ion enjoyed by league members. 1t is
thought that good thing to both the junior
members and the league can be made out
of this new order in the coming national
meet. 1t is proposed to organize about fifty
of the juniors into a brigade and attach
them to the information department as a
committee. They can be of vast service and
great value to All the other committees dur
ing the week the visitors here. They
can conduct information booths on public
corners and in public places and at the
various headquarters of the various depart
ments which will have the meet in hand.
They can also serve as couriers and do
much in various ways to cause the city S
entertainment of the visitors to be rounded
out and 70 be accomplished smoothly.
Application blanks can be secured from
Wallace Sherwood, chief consul, or James
A. Allison, secretary. While the juniors are
not strictly speaking members of the Ma
tional L. A. w. organization, they are in
line for membership as soon as they become
eighteen years of age and are not required
to pay another initiation fee.

A Rule OF Betting.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:


In the recent six days ladies' bicycle
race in this city A wagered B that Liz
zie CLAW would win the race, providing she
met with no accident. The bet was made
Saturday morning after CLAW had competed
for five days. She was sick Saturday night
and did not start P.
The bet is a draw. Where there is no
chance to win there can be no chance to
lose. This is a rule of all betting. In
horse race if horse fails to start all bets
are off. If a horse has won two heats in
trotting or pacing event that is to be run off
the three best out of five heats, and a bet
is made on that horse for the winner and
the horse fails to start in the subsequent
heats, all bets are off. If, however, a bet is
made and the horse goes one heat after
the bet is made, accidents are not barred,
the bet goes, no matter what happens TO
any of the horses on which there are
wagers. So in this bicycle race. If the
wager had been laid on Friday or Thursday,
B might lay claim to the stakes, but even
then there would be question in this case.
The question would hinge on the meaning of
the word accident" 1t seems evident that
the word, in this case, was meant to mean
anything that would keep Claw from finish
ing the race. In other words, bet that
CLAW would win, provided she remained in
the race until the finish. She did not stay,
and therefore A could not lose. But in the
case as stated there is no need of consider
ing this feature, as it is a draw, and can be
nothing else, because Graw failed to start
in the first heat after the bet was made

POGUE'S RUN PARK.
Board Adopts the Resolution without
RemOnstrance.

Without remonstrance the Board of Pub
lie Works yesterday adopted the resolution
for the condemnation and purchase of the
land included in the proposed Pogues run
park system of eighty-three acres. The
cost will not exceed $4,000 The work OF
making up the assessment roll will be begun
Immediately.
In the matter of the White river and fall
creek park systems it is expected that work
will be begun on them about June 10. Mayor
Taggart says that the boulevards and lakes
will cost between $4,000 and $4,000. 1t is
stated that the board has evidence that
property owners have been given too large
benefits in several instances, and the bene-
fits now shown in the assessment rolls 10
these property owners will be reduced. The
assessment rolls will go TO the Council, by
which they must be approved before the
Board of Public Works can spend the
money necessary for the building of the
park system, about June l.

II. Adams, of Chicago, travelling sales
man for Gormully & Jeffries. was in the

The Bells Company has produced a new
"road racer" 1t is cross between the
regulation road wheel and the track racer,
lighter than the former and built more
strongly than the latter.
The Rambler team for the Memorial day
races is made up of about twenty. good

The wide-tire bill introduced into the Mas

reduce the width of tires from 3l2 to 21a
inches but the amendments were rejected
and the bill finally passed.
Riders who like to save their wheels as
much possible will do we'll to remember
that when climbing steep hills and feeling
themselves to be under severe strain the
wheel is also being sorely tried. The amount
of twist put upon the rear section of a BIZ
cycle in hill climbing is little appreciated.
Not only do the rear forks and chain feel
it. but as the wheel turns different groups
of spokes come in for a powerful strain.
On steep hills il is a heap more sensible to
pocket pride and walk than il is TO run the

tractor. In case of complaint of any kind
concerning the action of the employees of
the company, be sure to report the number
Of the wagon. Before making complaint be
certain that the collector and not yourself

A strons Racing Team.

Nat Butler, A. G. Mertens F. A. McFar-

have formed combination which will be
hard to beat. They challenge any team of
five men in the world to a pursuit race,
limited to ten miles. The foreigners are
preferred From their ranks five IF the best
men may be picked to be matched against
the Ave Americans. Nat Butler has been
chosen as the captain of the American team.
Butler and his team are willing to put up
a moderate side bet in connection with the
purse offered, and stand ready to race at
the shortest possible notice. Should a for
eign team be formed, composed of Karl
Kaser, champion of Switzerland; Bourotte.
who is Kaser's equal in unpaced work; Jean
Gougoltz, Jap Eden and one other, the
American team would have difficult task
on it's hands. The foreigners have a shade
the best of it owing to their high gears.
The Americans are riding small gears and
are competing in most part of the National
Circuit competition races, while the foreign
ers devote their time to match races.

Deposited It's Money.

The New Telephone Company deposited
with the Board of Public Works yesterday
the remaining $4,000 of the $4,000 that its
franchise requires as surety of good faith.
The officers Of the company took the money
to the board in the form of certificate of
deposit but the board refused, as it did
when the first deposit was made, to accept
1t in any other form than cash. Accord
ingly, the officers went to the bank and
converted the certificate into cash. The
board ordered Controller Johnson to de-
posit the $4,000, with the $4,000 first de-
posted with the board, in the safety deposit
box rented to the city in the Indiana Trust
Companys vaults, which was done. The
company cannot withdraw some of this
money until its plant has been in operation
sixty days.

Parents are cautioned by veteran cyclist
not to allow their children to indulge in

simple truths about the management Of
their mounts. This veteran points out that
many a child is seriously injured by the

knowledge of what to do in trying situa-

should be properly guided in the cycling
