THE WHEEL
Observation-Disclosures

Local wheelmen are taking more
than usual interest in to-days bicycle
meet, and from indications a large
crowd will be present to see the
scorchers battle for fame and prizes.
The track has been put in first-class
condition and the local riders are fast
rounding into form. Gum and Shar-
man, the Salt Lake cracks, We're work
ing out last night and pronounced the
track, with the exception of a por-
ton of the back stretch, to be very
fast. Sharman ran away from Gum in
a friendly sprint but whether or not
Gum was riding his best can only be
told from results to-day. Much local
interest is centered in Dutch"
Lempke, and many of his friends
prophesy the defeat of the Salt Lakers.
Ferguson, Peterson and Donaldson of
Butte are training hard and will no
doubt render good accounts of them
selves. Ferguson is Montana's recog-
nized champion at the longer distances
and Peters has yet to meet his equal
in short races. Donaldson is a new
man, but has shown good sprinting
ability and may prove winner.
Arthur Zimmerman has written a
letter to Earl in which he says that he
will not race again. His letter has a
tone which brought the pity of the rib
ers into expression. Among the cracks
it was seemingly the consensus of opin-
ion that the old-timer had make A mis-
take in thus checking his career at a
time when so much was In sight. The
riders believe that Zimmerman was
nervous in his first race and none
would decry the evident ability of the
'Skeeter" to make better showing.
Zimmerman says that there is not
enough money in the game, but this
is considered an excuse, as he received
$3.50 out of the Bald match as the losers
end. He says that ether than his
promoting at Asbury park. where he
has number of meets scheduled for
this year, he will be out of the game
and he will remain out of it, he as
serts, although it is suspected here that
the old-time champion is going 10
France at once, believing that in that
country he can score a success at paced
exhibitions, at which he scored so great
a success at Waltham when he did two
miles back of a motor in 1923 AS, the
last mile in 1:43 3-5. Zimmerman is
known to have a number of LIBERAL
offers from France for exhibitions, and
the men believe that he considers re-
peated defeats in racing would injure
his chances in that country.
What is undoubtedly the most re-
markable cycling machine in the world
has just been built for the use of the
students of the Royal Normal college
for the blind at West Norwood, Eng
land. 1t is a strange and fascinating
sight to see this elongated machine
passing swiftly through the quiet coun-
try roads adjacent to the college, its II
sightless riders enjoying their ride and
pedaling as swiftly as though able to
see every danger ahead instead of be-
ing compelled by their misfortune to
trust entirely to the skill and caution

THE TURF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

After all it might have been for the
best that there was no racing meeting
in Butte this summer When you look
back over the long and wide eXpanse Of
miserable weather the conclusion will
force itself upon you that a meeting
would have been a failure, in point of
attendance. There We're a few fair
racing days in July, but the great num-
Der of days lacked that essential neCes-
sary in drawing profitable crOwd-n0t
too much moisture and chill. And Au-
gust-it speaks for itself The preCipi-
tation this month has been greater
than that of any corresponding month
since racing began in Montana. There
fore, those enthusiasts who have COM
planned of lack of horse sport can find
consolation in the weather.

That wild game is rapidly disappear
ing from the face of the earth no man
can gainsay. The present generation
will see almost the literal end of big
game killing in the mountains, and an
other generation an appalling paucity
of chickens, geese and ducks. Time has
demonstrated that man. the tyrant of
all creatures, has destroyed all life he
has had the opportunity to destroy
He has slain both animal and bird
though he knew there was no more in
the world. 1t is only the species whose
instinct teaches them to keep out of the
way of man and which are fitted sue
ceSsfully to flee before him that can
keep their place on the earth. Look at
the great wingless birds of the past
where are they? Where is the dodo?
dubbed off the earth. Where is the
great aux? EXtermnated, down to
the last specimen. Where is the duck
of Labrador? Gone, forever gone-the
wild pigeon, a fable and a romance-the
buffalo, a recollection. The extreme
rarity of a bird or animal, instead of
being accounted a reason for protection,
is regarded as affording an added slim
illus to it's capture and destruction.
Look what the moose is fast coming to.
Let a bird or animal stray from it's
customary range, and, diverging from
the limits laid down for it in the books,
adventure new haunts, it has crossed a
dead-line and flies to sure death. The
collector man or boy, awaits it with
powder and lead. The rarer the speci-
men the more eager the pursuit of it;
if a pair were thought to be the sole
survivors of their kind men would
shoot one another in their mad scram-
BILE to bag the last one. Heliogabalus
has been dead these 1000 years, but the
spirit of remorseess, cruel, unsparing
selfishness is alive in the world to-day,
as the record of ast-disappearng bird
and animal life demonstrates.
1t would seem that the men who are
betting at long odds on the Columbia
in it's race with the Shamrock have a
harder grip on the foreloCk of time
than is absolutely necessary. The
greatest odds. We believe, We're 10 to 2.
Patriotism and a well-grounded belief
in the precedents of the last 80 years
alone could have prompted such wag-
erS There is absolutely no really salts
factory way at present of comparing
the Shamrock with the Columbia in re-
gard to speed. When the day comes
that yachts, like horses. may be judged
on past form and yaChtsmen keep a
dope book, then will yachting lose the
charm of complete uncertainty that IL
now possesses. Until the Columbia and
shamrock meet in actual combat off
Sandy Hook no one will know which
boat is the faster: neither will there be
any satisfactory means of comparison
until then. Wagers made now are blind
fold bets.

his head almost severed from his body
Thomas Malone surrendered to the po-
lice, this afternoon. and admitted that he
murdered his brother Michael Malone
last night.
His story. which is corr1borated by CIR
