~M0T0R-PACED RACE.
Cycler Miller Defeats Pierce in a
Twenty-Mile Run.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. Twelve hundred per-
sons attended the cycle races at Athletic
Park this afternoon. The big event Of
the programme was the twenty-mile motor
paced race between Charles W.. Miller and
Burns Pierce, which was won by the former
by half a lap. Archie McErchern did not
ride, as his pacing machine failed to arrive
from Chicago. Pierce got away in the
lead and held his advantage for the first
mile. He fell back, however, and Miller
passed him in the second. Pierce did not
ride with spirit and it was evident he was
suffering from a cold and his fall in Chi
cago. 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 in 1910 2-5. with Pierce six
or eight lengths behind. For the twenty
miles Miller's time was 36:42.
The only other event of interest was the
one-mile handicap professional. which
Charles w. Miller, of Chicago (scratch),
won easily. Henry Rebenscheidt, of Jop-
lin, Mo. eighty yards), was second and Lou
Coburn. of st. Louis (ifty YARDS, third,

Col. HOgeland Explains.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
A marked copy of your paper has been
sent me calling attention to the statement
made by me and going the rounds of the
press severely rejecting on American
youth, namely: That six out of seven of
the boys In the United States were Ameri-
can and nine out of ten of the boys learn
ing trades were the sons of foreign born
citizens" 1t should read, while nine out
OF ten Of the apprentices in some branches
of industry" OF course any intelligent per-
son would know that the statement. taking
the factories as a whole, would not be true.
1 am not different from other people and
am heartily glad of an opportunity to make
the correction.
There are multitudes of American boys i'm
some branches of industry, clerks in stores,
messenger boys, errand boys and fourteen
millions OF children in our public schools,
and there can be no reflection on any of
them. Neither does it apply to two-thirds
of the youth In the United States residing
on farms, where there is almost entire ex-
emption from crime. These callings are not
classed as trades and are not regarded as
apprentices, and the statement can be no
renection on them.
In my travels of over twenty years have
frequently been in factories at the noon
LOoA "a VII oOlhC CltiCSl lit tIU-
pioyes on boy life and convict labor. and
in some of these found large numbers of ap-
prentices the sons OF foreign born citizens,
and frequently owners of the shops would
inform me that nearly all of the boys were
the sons of foreign born parentage. And
sometimes they would refer TO the habit of
the foreign born parents in keeping their
children within doors after night, while
many American boys were given the free
dom Of the streets at late hours Of the
night. j at first was inclined to say the
mistake was due TO the printer, who is often
kept busy I'm correcting errors in his types.
then / concluded il must nave been the
stenographer, for the statement has been
repeatedly made and changed in the last
ten years, but 1 ave determined that no
one is responsible for the mistake but
myself. i exceedingly regret that the state
ment has gone 10 the public in the form
IL has and trust IL may not occur again.
/ am sure those who have known me init
mately in my volunteer work of over thirty
years in behalf of the neglected youth. and
especially the newsboys. for 1 have cham
pioned their cause with a will. and my
heart has often been made sad when the
superintendent of reform schools, keepers
of prisons and station houses would call
my attention To the presence of numbers
of the most humble of our little trades
men. / am sure the public will conclude
that the statement Is one of the head and
not of the heart.
1 thank you most sincerely for calling my
attention 10 the expressions that have dealt
such great injustice to American children
and youth, and trust that IL may not occur
again. ALEXANDER HOGELAND.
