TOM Eek ACCEPTED.

| The fact that Tom Eek, who was sus-
pended for life by the L. A. W.. was one
| of the timers when Major Taylor rode his
remarkable record breaking mile in min-
ute % 2-5 secs, has caused considerable
doubt to exist as to whether or not the
record would be recognized by the Racing
Board. The record has not yet been ac-
cepted, but from an interview with Chair
man Gerlaeh few days ago in Boston by
a representative Of the Bicycling World.
it appears that it will be accepted. and
what is more startling, it seems that Eek
is to be reinstated. The interview, as
printed is as follows;-
HAS Eek been reinstated?" was the en-
quiry put to Mr. Robinson.
"You'n have to ask Mr.. Gerlach," was
the reply. given with what seemed hait
shrug Of the shoulders Gerlach answered
IN the negative.
''But was Eek not one Of the timers of
Taylor's record?"
"The newspapers said he was, but he
wasn't He held a watch, but he was not
one Of the official timers"
What was he doing on the track II he
was disqualified? They say, too that he
was on the track at the Montreal meet"
He pushed off some of the men. / gave
him permission-
"Then he can appear on l.. A, w tracks,
although he hasn't been reinstated?'
Yes; lie has been reinstated and
here Mr.. Gerlach turned color.-and plain
ly swallowed lump-'bnt It hasn't been
announced yet" he quickly added.
Had he been reinstated at the time Of
TaNlors record2
"Then the record IS al right, and regu-

Whitinsville, Aug 26.-The ball game
between the Graftons and Whitins this
afternoon was a Waterloo for Grafton.
The game was very interesting and full of

Both pitchers were in good form, but
Hughes received poor support. The fea-
lures of the game were Houston at third,
McSheehy left field, Walsh first base,

field to third base catching his man; for
