S o M E CYCLE CHA 7

Griffin Halstead, the speedy rider who
was SO Severely injured some weeks ago at
the Park track, while IN training, has SO
far recovered as to be able to be out again
and riie his wheel. The main mark of the
accident which he bears is the absence of
several front teeth, with one or two Others
broken off. He has given up bicycle racing.
This he states, is mainly on his father s
account. who objected to his riding. The
father. Murat Halstead, does not object to
the son riding in the amateur ranks, but
he does object to his riding as profession
al. Young Halstead has announced that he
VIII endeavor to regain his amateur status
having never ridden in professional event
since he was transferred to the class sew
eral weeks ago. Chairman Mott of the
racing board, has extended some assura nee
IN the matter, which gives hope that the
rider Will again be able to contest In ANA
teur events once more, in case he ever de-
sires to return to the track. 1t is regarded
as likely, however, that Halstead will not
regain his amateur standing until the meet
Ing of the national assembly, which will not
be held until next year If his case Is
brought before the BODY it will undoubt-
edly be considered in connection with that
OF Bolden. who was transferred at the
same time to the pro ranks.
A well known local wheelmaR has been
having a good deal of amusement out of
new wheel which he has secured The
wheel is SO enameied that on one side 1t Is
all red, while on the other side the color
is white. Where the two coiors meet there
is strip of blue enamel, which can only
be seen from a sectional view. The wheel
is patriotic in keeping with tine tastes of
the owner. When riding down the street
the red color OF the wheel is visible only
from the sidewalk, while In ricing I'D the
thoroughfare the white color is only to
pe seen. Some of the friends of the rider
think that he is getting extravagant in hav-
ing two wheels of different colors The
owner enjoys the joke as much as anyone
and he lets his friends find out the cause of
their deception without telling them.
Perspiration from the hands causes the
handle grips to become greasy and offen-
sive looking and oftenttmes makes them
uncomfortable to the rider In turning the
bars the grips slip, and there is a feeling
OF unsteGdiness because the hands do not
have full control Of the steering. This can
easily be remedied by cleaning them with
nail brush and soap powder, scrubbing
vigorously and then wiping them with
clean cloth dipped in cold water. This
rider who takes the trouble to co it will be
repaid by having the handle grips look as
good as new and feel comfortable at all
times.
Cyclists have come to the conclusion that
perhaps the best thing for them to do is to
observe the rules of the road, and keep to
the right at all times, They win then, they
say, be able to ascertain If the same activity
is displayed by the police towards vehicles
as towards wheelmen.

Prepared for Any Change.
, the New York Trfhune


A great many direful predictions are
heard in these days about the impossi-
hility of Americans adapting themselves
to new conditions. The fact is that
the whole history Of the American people
has been the breaking down of American
systems. social, Industrial, political. We
broke down an American system when we
established nation in place of some petty
states; when We told Europe that the old
plan of colonial expansion on this conti-
nent was at an end; when we annexed
Louisiana, Florida. Texas. California,
Alaska. Hawaii; when we established the
secret ballot; when we overthrow the spoils
system. The plea that an abuse must be
protected because II Is American is as old
as the nation. and every advance has from
the beginning been denounced as un-Ameri-
can. and still will be. whether 1t is planned
to secure seats for everybody in street cars
or TO do our duty as one Of the powers of
the world. But in spite Of all dire fore
bodings the American people have uniform
ly shown that the American system was the
one which seemed best adapted to meet the
requirements of particular situation, not
what some old fogy told them was the
method they had followed In other times.

sary to observe certain rules to keep in
good shape, and this he is doing, and as a

The announcement made by Chairman
Mott giving national circuit date at Bal
uUore for October I. and placing a quar-
ter of a mile national championship, is
bit of welcome news to the local riders.
The race will be held at the Colosseum
track. The thing that is hard to under
stand is just why the chairman of the
racing board gave a national champion
ship race, the scoring of which will be
sixty points for the winner, forty points
for the second man, thirty, twenty and
ten points for the next three men, respec-
lively. These points were not allowed in
this city on June %, when the one mile ma
tional championship was run off; neither
will they be allowed on October @, when
the two-mile national championship race
will be run off. In a majority of other
cities the scoring was exactly the same as
allowed in Washington, six points for first,
four for second, three for third and down
to one for fifth man, the only deviation
from the course being at the national meet
a week ago at Indianapolis, when all of
the championship events scored the same
as the Baltimore race will score.
Jack Prince is no longer in sole charge
Of the Colosseum track at baltimore,
though he occupies the position of man
ager at the present time. His powers are.
however, limited, compared with what they
used to be. The new management is COM
posed of J. Albert Cassidy, Charles R..
Klosterman and Frank j. Eline. The track
has been a success, and on this account
the management was enlarged.
The defeat Of Frank Waller, the flying
Dutchman," Wednesday evening at Bal
timore, by Henry Smith. the OEiole. was
g. big surprise to the local people who
knew both riders Smith holds the twenty
four hour road record of Maryland, while
Waller, by his work in this city in the
six-day eight-hour race at Convention Hall,
showed his speed abilities. ONLY few
weeks ago Waller broke the twenty-four
hour road record of the country. With
two laps handicap, about a third of a
mile in all. Smith rode the fifty miles in
Isl 702, while the time of Waller for the
distance was 1:50:8T 2-5. The previous
worlds record for the distance was claimed
to be 2.o4o0 3-5. Another race between
the two may result. The Washington
riders furnish the bulk of pace for Smith.

to Hanna as the Republican nominee
for Senator. The language Of some of
the letters and kilograms to the Gov
ernor and the boiling members is the
most severe and discourteous that could
be used, giving expression to indignant
popular feeling.
So far as his own and the efforts OF
his managers are concerned Senator
Hanna would be beaten if a ballot were
taken to-day. The organization against
Hanna is the most compact and COM
plete that was ever known in Ohio, but
it has much yet to Withstand from the
popular revolution that is setting In,
and will sweep over the heads Of the
bolterS for the next week. The in
auguration will bring many here next
Monday who will not be in the parade,
but will repeat with their representa-
tives the experience that Governor
Bushnell had with his neighbors from
Springfield.
A feature Of the contest is the partic-
ipaton of ladies. Since Mrs. Griffith in
duced her husband to change from
Hanna to the opposition, it is reported
that Mrs. Snyder, the wife of the MEM
ber from Green County, is now in SYM
pathy with the opposition, although her
husband is pledged to Hanna. Mr..
Snyder was in the Republican caucus
Saturday night and voted for Boxwell
on Monday, but Mrs. Snyder has urged
him to give the opposition workers
audience. The wives Of several DEM
ocratic members are urging their hus-
bands to vote for straight Democrat
ic nominee for Senator, rather than for
Republican. The contest is so Wig
orously prosecuted that the workers do
not overlook any members of Rep
resentative's family or any of his rela-
tives, friends or neighbors.
AS Senator Burke, the only doubtful
member of the Senate, is at home to-
day, ther are no changes in the esti-
mates on the Senate. The Hanna men
claim that Representative Jones of
| Stark County, who comes from the
home of President Mckinley, has prom
| ised some Of his constituents to sup
port Hanna Jones has been prominent
| in the councils of the opposition He
| presented Mason's name for Speaker on
Monday, and was one of the Republi-
cans voting to fill all offices in the Or
ganization. The opposition claims that
| Representative Snyder, who voted for
Boxwell and the entire Republican tick
| ct on Monday, will not remain on the
Hanna list.
