CYCLING.

+. L. Kramer, of Newark, N. j.,
holder of the l.. A. w. national amateur
championship, has decided to Join the
ranks of the seceders from the league,
and will ride in his first "outlaw" race
on Monday.
Church, Turville, McCurdy and all
the shining lights in the Philadelphia
racing world, are taking excellent care Of
themselves during these off-days Of rae
ing, and expect to blossom forth in the
spring feeling better and faster than
ever.
"A. W. membership returns inst re-
ceived show falling off Of 329 for last
week, the number of new members
brought in for the same time being fifty,
as against 271 for the corresponding
week last year. The total membership
in Pennsylvania, II, ,756, and for the en-
tire league, 76,745. New York State has
1929.
With the announced retirement OF
Arthur Gardiner from the racing game,
the outlaw association lost its vice-presi.
dent, and now comes word that its presi-
dent, Eddie Bald, ex-actor champion, is
also to leave the fate of the outlaw asso.

Europe next season. Bald, so it is said,
has connected with Tod Sloane, and will

For winter bicycle riding, especially if
the roads are bit muddy, high gear
is absolutely useless. The heavy going
makes the rider, in his efforts to drive
the machine, plunge from one side to
the other, with the result that a side slip
is inevitable. For winter plugging
gear something between sixty and
seventy inches wants a lot Of beating.
"To indulge in and thoroughly enjoy
the pastime of cycling the whole year
through, the cvclist," says one, needs
two machines, one for fair weather and
one for dirty weather. We have always
found it to pay to keep an old machine
to which pound or two OF mud and q
bit OF rust is of no consequence.

WARREN SEEMS A WINNER.
A Temporary Organization Affected
and the Proposition
Outlined.

Those interested in the reorganization
of the Warren Athletic Club held very
enthusiastic meeting last night in THE
Sun building. The meeting was called
to order by temporary chairman Horace
Mcdaniel and after a little debating il
was decided to elect temporary officers.
Horace Mcdaniel was proposed for
president and was unanimously elected
to that position. Patrick Fahey was
elected temporary secretary.
T Those present will solicit names Of
those wishing to join and at the next
meeting of the club on Monday evening,
January 8, the names will be presented
to the secretary and from them the regu-
lar officers will be elected.
The Warren Athletic Club is now an
assured fact.
1t is hoped and expected that the tenn
porary membership committee will be
able TO present list of 200 or 800 names
at the next meeting.
1t is to be regretted that those gentle
men who first proposed the reorganiza-
ton Of the club have not as vet partici-
patedin the movement in any way. If
they are sincere in their expressed opin-
ions there is only one way to show it,
and that is to turn in and help make the
club winner. There is lots of work to
be done and there should be willing
hands to do it.
With 300 members in good standing
the start with a fairly prosperous bank
roll is in sight and the dues from such a
membership will enable the club to
establish desirable and adequate head
quarters properly fitted up. and main
tanned. Apparatus and furniture cost
money and the movement cannot be
made lasting success unless all who are
interested in sports turn in now and
help the cause along.

IT Is COMING.
Endless Chain of Prayer is the --latest
Craze and is Sweeping the
United States,

Craze and is Sweeping the
United States.
The State Of Delaware is now under
going seige Of the grip, but later on ar
epidemic in the shape of prayers will bt
the order of things. The State will be
flooded with prayers and it will come as
it has come in other States, in the form
OF the latest craze, ''endless chain o
prayer it is the latest.
1t is likely to swell the postal revenue
to a greater extent than did the familiar
endless chain of money donations, partly
because it demands nothing but faith, a
little pen puncture and few two.cent
stamps for postage.
The new style of endless chain was
started by pious persons in Philipstown,
Putnam county. Members of a religious
circle in that village each sent five copies
Of paper to as many friends requesting
each to read the prayer aloud and send
five copies to as many of their friends,
accompanied by similar request.
The startling possibilities of the plan
may thus be figured out:
5x Observation-Disclosures equals 244,
l40,625.
1t is therefore possible that within a
few months of the chains beginning the
prayer will have reached 244, lao, ,625 per.
sons, or three times the population Of
the United States.
Delaware leads in most everything but
in this fad it is hoped that she may play
even worse than second fiddle.
While the people of the State believe
in prayer they also believe in modera-
tion and it is to be hoped that the end
less chain finds an ending before reach
ing this State.

Robley d. Evans called at the Navy

with Secretary Long, the immediate re-
suit of which was the issue of an order
relieving him of the command of the
paired at the New York navy-yard. This
was done at Captain Evans's request.
He has served more than the period Of
time required by regulations and prac-
tice for a captain to command, and his
next sea-service may be in flag rank.
Secretary Long this afternoon decided
to assign Captain Evans to duty as a
member of the Naval Inspection Board,
and he will assume his new duties after
a brief vacation.
The next commander of the Iowa will
be Captain Silas Terry, now in command
of the receiving-ship Franklin, at the
Norfolk navy-yard. He will take the
ship around South America and over to
Honolulu, in company with the Oregon
and some colliers.
