was about five years ago that he first at
trscted attention as rider. He was re-
garded as the best man in the city as early
as 1898, and his riding justified tiis.
There were then no specially built tracks
in the city for cycle racing and the fiat
athletic fields were used. When the League
of American Wheelmen met in this city in
1892 1t was necessary to rebuild the track
on Analostan Island, upon which the con-
tests were run off. That was the last or
dinary, or high wheel, race held in this
city. Sims came into popularity with the
safety, and on. such a whs el he rode num-
Der of good races, winning the District
championship one season. He also won
number of other local events, and cap
tured majority of the local races.
In 1894 he rode in fine FORM and obtained
a reputation all over the country. He says
now that he was riding much faster then
that he is at present, but he never took
care of himself then as he is this season.
In this year he met many cracks, and while
in class B his riding brought his mama
quite distance up in the table of the ma
tional percentages in the races won and
lost.
He joined the ranks of the professionals
the last week in December of 1896. A six
day eight-hour race in progress at
Convention Hall, and Eddie Bald was en-
gagged to give exhibition riding svery even
ing after the big race closed. Teddy Hale,
the Irish day-go-as-you-please cham
pion, was also in the city, and Tom Linton,
who then held the hour record of the world.
To assist in pacing Bald in his exhibition
work Sims went out on the track. and in
helping Bald he gave up his amateur stat
us. according to the racing rules, and be-
came pro rider. He had carefully
considered the matter before taking the
step, and his appearance on the track was
greeted with applause by the spectators.
Last season, as a professional, Sims did
not do much riding, but this year he has
more than covered himself with glory. On
the local track he has established th:ee
worlds records for competition events, all
in handicap races, including the half mile,
the two-thirds of mile and the mile. Be
sides this, with his brother Billie he is re-
garded as the champion tandem :ider of
the east the brothers defeating all Of tfe
crack riders. Fer his race Monday after
noon he has decided to take no chances,
and will ride as if his life depended on the
result. He realizes that he will not have
such easy time in defeating Schade, and
Is prepared to ride his best.

in progress, he established q third of a
mile paced amateur record. At Norfolk
later in the season he broke the Virginia
state record for one mile paced, lowering
the record to 157 3-5 The previous record
was held by Fred Sims at 2. Is. This sea-
son, with a team mate, he won the inter-
collegiate tandem championship, the event
being held on the Berkeley oval. He also
holds the local amateur handicap record
for one mile, the time being 20S. This
record was made this spring. He has held
the Virginia state championship since 1898.
and has also held the championship of the
south for several years, winning the lat
ter event this spring at Charlotte, N. C.
Ihe Virginia state championship he also
won this season at Staunton. AT Charlotte
he broke the Worlds amateur five-mile
competition recoSd,, starting from scratch
In a handicap race and winning in the fast
time of II. .43 2-5. Up to the time he was
put into the professional class this season
he won twenty-five first prizes.
w. Fred Sims, who will ride against
Schade, is perhaps the oldest racing man
IN track racing. in age he is perhaps a
few years older Than Schade, and, while
he has done good riding during the time
ne has been on the track, he never made
any attempt to get a record in the number
or races won. He, has had an experience
that no other riders in the city have en-
1oyed Starting as an amateur, he became
member of class B when that class was
League Of American Wheelmen. On the
adjustment Of this class he was restored
TO the racing circles as an amateur, and,
after riding an additional season in that
rank, he turned professional
Not only has he had varied experience
as racing man, but during the time he
has been on the track he has competed
against all of the crack riders of the coun-
try, and has wrestsd a number of VIC
tories from them. With his riding he has
gained an experience that has been of the
utmost value to him. The present season
Is his second as professional, and as his
form is steadily improving, hs will follow
the bicycle path for a few more years as
yet. 1t would be hard to find man to
beat him In competition event in the
form in which he Is at present riding.
While native Of Philadelphia, Sims re-
CARDS Washington as his home. This is
due to the fact that he spent the best
years of his life In this city. while has
father was instructor in gymnastics at the
Y. III. c. A. building on New York avenue.
Sims has been a resident of Washington
for hys or six years. perhaps longer. It

BOWLING SEASON OPENED
saengerbund Team Defeats Players From
Baltimore
Despite the Great Heat the Contests
Were Enjoyed by Participants
and SPECTATOR.

Devotees of bowling were out in force
last night to witness the first games of the
sason. A picked team OF crack rollers from
the various clubs in the Maryland Bowling
League Of Baltimore came over to have a
go at the mighty Saengerbunds-two-t
champions OF the District Bowling League.
While the weather was anything but
right for bowling, the enthusiasm OF the
spectators and the evident enjoyment of
the players at the prospect of again meet
Ing on the alleys, kept thoughts of the
oppressive heat from interfering with the
evenings play.
The Saengers presented mixed team,
consisting only in part OF the big team Of
last season, but they bowled nearly up to a
good average. defeating the visitors IN all
OF the contests. And at no time was there
any doubt as to the outcome as the local
players clearly outclassed their opponents.
Charlie Spiess started in early with record
scores, bowling down 204 pins in the second
game. The scores follow:

NEW BATHING POOL.

Suggestion by superintendent Ste
vens to the Commissioners.
Mr.. w. X Stevens. superintendent of the
bathing beach. has submitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners a written statement of
his plans for a new bathing place for the
Washington public He suggests that q
diving pool be located eighty feet from the
northwest shore. where the soundings show
a hollow; that the pool be 800 feet long;
that the natatorium for nude bathing
might well be left for later experience
to locate. Fourth, that 1t be ascertained
how much sand now deposited In the
basin lies above grade and available for
spreading over the adjacent bottom, and
how much area will be completed when
the surplus sand is so distributed. Fifth,
what amount of earth is required to fill
up to grade less six inches. Sixth how
much sand will be required to fill that six
inches: that the fiume and dam be built,
the lowest tide permitted to draw out all
the water it will, and then the gates be
out. After the water is out the filling may
be made, the wharyes constructed on the
dry bottom and the sand be spread evenly
before the water is let in.
THE dressing house floors should be
tight, but on slant of two inches five
feet to carry the water out. The floors
may be often washed with hosepipe
Ventilation and lighting could be accom-
plished by setting the roofs three feet
above the partitions. which should be
seven feet high, covering the rooms with
q continuous sheet of wire CLOTH which
should be fastened directly on top of the
partitions. then a single lamp at the end
of each row would shine under the roof
which should be painted white as a re-
fiector, and light all the fifty rooms of that
row..

Other Games Being Arranged.

Other games between local clubs and the
variou teams of the Baltimore league are
being arranged, and there will be much
intercity bowling during the coming win
ter. While last nights games were in
formal and, of course, have no bearing on
the championship season which Will soon
ten-pin playing will undoubtedly be a good
one. Throughout the summer most Of the
alleys have been deserted, as ten pins is
generally considered a winter game. The
Saengerbunds have been an exception in
this respect, however, and their men start
the season in fine form. Their regular
team for the league games has not as yet
been selected, but they have a great guam
Iity of good material to select from. In
none of the other clubs has practice COM
menced yet, though preparations are well
underway. The competition bowling at the
Columbia Athletic Club will start in about
two weeks. The CAROLS will probably
commence before then, and the Business
Mems Club will shortly take up active
work. Things are very much unsettled at
the Washington Athletic Club, and little is
known as TO their intentions for the sea-
son.
In the meantime the various clubs have
selected delegates to attend the sessions OF
the District Bowling League, and the vari-
Gus committees will soon have mapped out
The seasons work. Championship games
will probably commence about the middle
of October.
Last year bowling took a great boom in
the public's fancy in many cities through
little behind some places, Baltimore, for
instance, having over fifty clubs. IT is
thought that the interest this year will ba
very great.

deputies were brought to the city on orders
of Governor Tanner, but the state secr>-

BULL AND BEAR-BAITING.
Royal Sport offered TO Ambassadors
I'm Olden Times.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t was a royal sport, a sport offered to
ambassadors. In a certain diary IL is re-
lated how the French ambassadors on May
%, 1859, were entertained at court with
dinner, and after dinner with a bull and
bear-baiting, the queen-hersef7l looking on
from a gallery. The next day they were
taken down the river to see the bull and
bear-baiting at Paris Gardens. Forty years
later, when James entertained the Span
ish ambassador, after dinner the bears
fought with greyhounds, and they Witness
ed buil-baiting. About the same time the
Duke of Wurtemberg paid a visit to Lon
don and saw the batting at Paris Gardens.
''On the 1st OF September his highness
was shown in London the English dogs, OF
which there were about 10 all kept In the
same inclosure, but each in a separate
kennel.
I'm order to crafty his lighness, and at
his desire, two bears and a bull were bait
ed; at such times you can perceive the
breed and mettle OF the dogs. for although
they receive serious injuries from the bears,
are caught by the horns Of the bull and
tossed into the air so frequently to fall
down again upon the horns, they do not
give in (but fasten on to ne bull SO hrlniy)
that one is obliged to pull them back by
the tails and force open their jaws. -Four
dogs at once were set on the bull: they.
however. could not gain any advantage

well get at him; on the contrary, the bull
served them very scurvily by striking and
beating at them"
Bear-baiting was so popular that fellows
roamed about the country leading bears.
which they offered to be baited tor so much
an hour in the villages and at the country
inns which they passed. The Iiaster of the
kings game" had power TO seize upon any
mastiff dogs, bears or bulls for the kings
service and to bait in any place within his
dominions. Henslow and Alieyn. both
actors, were also masters cf the kings
game; they had license to apprehend all
Migrants travelling with bears and bulls.
