ST. LOUIS CYCLE RACES.

ST. LOUIS, October Twelve
hundred persons attended the cycle
races at Athletic Park this afternoon.
The big event of the programme was
the twenty mile motor race between
Charles w. Miller and Burns Pierce,
which was won by the former by half
a lap. Archie McErichern did not ride
as his pacing machine failed to arrive
from Chicago.
Pierce got way in the lead and held
his advantage for the first mile. He
fell back, howSyer, and Miller passed
him in the second. Only once during
the remainder of the race did Pierce
pass Miller, but he kept close on the
latter's heels and the race throughout
was exciting. Miller made the first ten
miles "a 1910 2-5 with Pierce six or
eight lengths behind. For the twenty
miles time Miller's time was 36:42.
Summary of one mile professional:
Charles w. Miller, Chicago, scratch,
won; Henry Rebenscheidt, Joplin, Mo-,
eighty yards. second; Lou Coburn. St.
Louis, fifty yards, third. Time, PIG.

gave out a statement concerning the
fleet of excursion boats that will follow
the racers over the course. He said
that his orders would be imperative,
that no boats could be allowed to run
outside of the course designated by the
~stakeboats.
81 have gone to considerable trouble
in this matter" said Captain Evans,
"and 1 have received orders which l
must follow. 1 appeal to the masters
Of vessels not to crowd ahead or run
ahead of the wind. A swash from a
large excursion boat will greatly en-
barrass the sailing yachts, and it is to
this end that l hope to have the rules
in detail followed. l have arranged for
guide boats, and from them they can
get their course
Il will regret very deeply the nee
essity Of enforcing my powers in this
respect, but l do say most emphatically
that any boat that is run outside of the
lines established for them will be i'm
mediately sent back to New York in
charge of a revenue officer. This will
mean the cancelling of any license that
the masters may have, and necessarily
will be of great detriment to them"
Captain Evans said that tomorrow
he would send a copy of the rules of
the yacht club, as we'll as the govern
ment laws on this subject, to the mas
ter of each vessel.
Captain Evans will go to the revenue
cutter Manning Tuesday and will be in
the center of the guide ships.

-----
Freddie Green was given the decision
over Eddie Gardner in their twenty-five
round bout in Sandusky, O., last Thurs
day, and from all the domination
which can be obtained it appears that
Eddie was up against a combination
of hard luck. To begin with, Green was
ten pounds over weight and thirteen
pounds heavier than Gardner, and for
feited $50 to the Wheeling boy. Gard
ner finally consented, after a great
deal of w%rangling, to take him on, but
on account of Green's excessive weight,
fought rather cautiously. The detailed
description of the battle in the San
dusky papers does not Indicate that
Gardner was bested at any stage of the
game. Indeed, the statement was made
hat Green's punches did no damage,
that Eddie was as fresh at the end of
the bout as when he entered the ring,
and that a fair proportion of the crowd
Kissed and groaned when the referees
decision was given.
Eddie Gardner is sore over the mat
ter, and says he is confident that he
could put Green out of the business n
time he will come to weight. He says
he can get the backing, and is ready to
wager $1,000 on the side that he will
best Green in twenty-five rounds before
any club which will insure a square
deal and ar honest decision. The de-
scription of the contest in the Sandusky
papers indicates that the bout should
have been declared a draw.

BELATED APPRECIATION

1t is entirely fitting that the president
should give expression to his sense Of
the devotion shown by the men in the
Philippines who remain at their posts
after their terms of enlistment have lone
expired. There can be no doubt that tho
men thus complimented will annrecia+a
at its true worth the presidential ex-
preston of admiration. But mingled
with that sense of appreciation there will
exist at least some slight feeling that.
perhaps, with a reasonable exercise of
the powers vested in the president, the
occasion at once for compliments and
sacrifices might have been dispensed
with.
While The president was so lavish of
his admiration and approval of the Iiv-
ing, he might, with all personal and Off
cial propriety, have paid some slight
tribute to the men who offered up their
lives as a penalty of a like devotion. He
might not have ignored those who lie
helpless in the military hospitals as the
result or prolonged and needless ex-
posture to the hazards of tropical eli
mate
1t will constitute but poor recon-
pense to the fathers and mothers, broth
ers, sisters and sweethearts of those
who but for the remissness of him and
his advisers might long ago have been
reunited to those families. 1t is just pos
sible that those upon whom the presi-
dent now expends his belated complf-
ments may not hold them at the value
which he thinks they merit. There is at
least some evidence that their apprecia-
ton would be of higher order If the
presidential regard had found expression
in transports of another kind.

Wheelmen will rejoice on learning that
the ordinances of the city have been at
last put in such form that he who runs
may read. Thus far the whole affair has
been a wretched tumble which no one had
any intelligent understanding Of The fact
is that our local system of bicycle regu-
lation has been based on an ordinance
which has been declared illegal by the
courts.
1t is but just to say that, aside from
the unwarranted conduct of individual po-
lice officers, wheelmen have had but little
to complain of outside of this uncertainty
regarding bicycle limits. There are still
many regulations which are unjust and
which must grow obsolete in time.
Among these is the requirement that
wheelmen must not ride their wheels
under any circumstances on the sidewalk
in prohibited districts. Outside the bust
ness center OF the city, when the streets
are impossible wheelmen should insist on
the right to operate their wheels on the
sidewalk without the risk of being brought
to the local police station. 1t is mere
barbarism to have it otherwise. The ex-
tent to which this imposition on wheel
men may be carried is every day illus
trated in the neighboring city Of Mime
apOlis, where, if a wheelman is forced on
the sidewalk even to the extent of few
yards, he is made the victim of some Off
cious policeman who happens to see him.
And when he is arraigned in court he is
made to pay an excessive fine generally.
Indeed, to all the regulations which are
insisted on here, with this single excep-
ton, which are disregarded in Mime
apolis, and which are absolutely neces-
sary to individual safety, such as the
use of bells and Of lanterns at night. nc
objection has ever been raised.
Before the ordinance has become a law
wheelmen should make an effort to have
the fines devoted to the improvement and
repair of the cycle paths With a few
such additional regulations as this, all
operating for the public safety and adj
vantage, bicycle riders have much reason
to be satisfied with the city regulations.

PERJURERs AND poACaERs

Nothing which the state game and fish
commission can do to compel an observ-
ance of existing laws will be popularity
regarded as going beyond the demands
of the existing situation.
The case reported in these columns yes
terday of the deliberate acquittal by
jury, at Waterville, Of confessed vio-
lator Of the law shows some of the diff
culties which lie in the path of the com
mission Such conduct is equivalent to
deliberate perjury on the part of every
member of the jury so offending Should
the attorney for the commission be able
to send these men to Jail for their infa-
nous and dangerous crime it would be
of more value in the line of the commits
sion's duty than the conviction of any
number of immediate violators of the
law. 1t will be a splendid object lesson
to the ignorant and vicious of the dan
gers to them of the course too often pur-
sued by jurymen who are acting under
the pressure of local influence. AS long

as those pot hunters who live by their
poaching operations can rely on such de-
liberate disregard of the sanctity of Off
cial oath, as was evidenced in that Wa
terville case, so long will 1t be farce
to make an effort to enforce the law.
There has been a faithful and ener-
getic effort made for some years past to
enforce the game and fish law. Mr..
Fullerton, the former commissioner,
showed commendable zeal In that direc-
ton, and for the first time in the history
of that office he succeeded in striking
hearts
some little dread into the poachers'
Minnesota has been one of the great
est hunting and fishing sections for a
great number of years. 1t can be so
again. if only some respect is shown by
the people for the existing law. OF course
the mass of the people obey the law, but
there are bands of marauders on both
fish and game whose operations would
have denuded the state both Of it's game
and it's fish long ago were it not for the
great abundance of both which has pre-
vailed.
The we'll known energy and legal abil-
ity of the present attorney for the fish
and game commission, Mr.. Stanislaus ].
Donnelly, can be relied on to accomplish
much. But he must be sustained both
by his associate officials and by public
sentiment. What the public needs is as
numerous convictions as possible of Of
tenders against the game and fish laws,
and that it will not be in the power Of
any attorney whatever to secure as long
as ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS men, act
ing as jurors, feel themselves at liberty
to violate their oaths of office, believing
they can do so with inpunity.
