FAIR WOMAN TO THE REAR.
SO, n Cyclist Insists, Is Her Place
on q Tandem.

so, Cyc1ist Insists, Is Her Place
a Tandem.
while no one has brought it to bear.
the old wheeze, man came first and wom-
an after might well be injected into the
discussion by those who maintain that
woman's place on a tandem Is the rear
seat; by slight stretch the wheeZe might
be used to show that that side of the ar
gument has earth's history and natures
laws to prove their case" says the BIZ
cycle World
The discussion is again showing signs
of strength. One Of the woman-on-the-
rear-seat advocates has returned to tho
subject in this wise. and really scores
some strong points for "his side:"
I'm spite of all arguments which have
been put forward in mistaken. but we'll
meant, effort to convert me to lady-front
tandems, am a firm believer IN the fact
that the rear seat position IS the proper
and most suitable one for the lady on a
mixed tandem and week ago or so I
had my opinion very fully substantiated.
with a northwest wind blowing, it
was bitterly cold day, and the sight OF
a mixed tandem going past me. with
the lady on the front seat, caused me to
take note of the degree of enjoyment
evinced by the fair sex. The lady on the
tandem mentioned seemed to be thor
oughly unhappy; her nose was blue, her
Tapping in the breeze, and she looked,
and no doubt felt. quite nipped up with
the cold. The ill-mannered chap on the
back seat was tucked away IN the shelter
of his partner but his head was dodg-
ing first on one side and then on the
other in order to enable him to see where
he was steering the machine to. Alto
gether they seemed an unhappy pair.
The ladies on the singles were getting
along slowly against the wind, and the
majority Of them looked slightly dishev-
elled, whereas, without an exception, the
ladies on the rear seats of tandems SEEM
ed to be thoroughly happy and comfort
able. No trouble about the steering:
snugly sheltered behind a pair of broad
shoulders; no need to put their heads
out of window to see where they were
going; no disarrangement Of the hair:
no blue noses or cold hands, nothing but
pure enjoyment.
There is no valid argument that I
have yet heard in favor of placing the
lady on the front seat. The principle of
giving precedence to the lady does not
apply, because there is always danger
ahead of a tandem. No man, worthy of
the name of man, would hold lady in
front of him If fire engine or a motor
car, or some other form Of danger, were
rushing down on the pair.
'Tn the course of ones cycling expert
ence one gets into good many tight
| places; a cool head and a fine determine
ton carry one through safely in the ma
| jority of instances, and the incidents
then, lacking Importance are forgotten.
There is no lady of my acquaintance
| upon whose GOODNESS and determination
should have cared to have relied in
some of the tight places I have been in.
So, like many another better man than
myself. 1 believe that the rear seat af-
fords the most comfort and gives the
least anxiety"

many we'll known followers of the game
who are speaking favorably Of the Cali
fornia giant. Jeffries may spring a sur
prise on the public. Stranger things have
happened. but until he does cannot fig
ure why he should win with Fitz.
SMITH AND RYAN.
Mysterious" William Smith, who is
presumed to hail from classic Boston. is
to take on Tommy Ryan for a twenty
roundbout, provided some club is willing
to pay for the entertainment, and there
are several which have expressed de-
sire to give the great welters from s.. 900
upward for the affair. Ryan is popular
in st. Louis. and as that city has offered
q purse he is in favor of going there
Then in steps the Lenox Athletic club of
New York. and outbids the St. Louisans.
1t is probable that the battle will be con-
tested before some Eastern club It will
be worth going a distance to see. Ryan
and Smith have met before-numerously
1t might be said. Ryan has had the bet
ter of the argument. but Smith has al
ways given the ng-Man-Afraid-of-
Tonsilitis run for his money. Ryan has
grown better. while Smith has gone back
a bit. Ryan should win.
CREEDON GRINNED.
There is an amusing story going the
rounds in connection with the recent bat
tie between Dan Creedon and Joe Wal
colt. 1t is to the effect that Dan grinned
at the Barbados wonder when he faced
him in the ring and Walcott did not like
1t. He therefore went right after Cree
don and sent him to dreamland in a little
less than two minutes. Walcott Is 8
rough customer at best It Is the height
of folly to anger him. Dan should not
have grinned. By the way, Creedon has
another battle on. He will meet George
Green, In Denver in the near future.
Creedon is going the way of all pugilists.
as the years glide by, but If he cannot
defeat Green he had better quit the ring.
Green is not in Creedon class.
GARDNER COMING.
The most likely boxer among the little
men today Is Oscar Gardner, erstWhile
of st. Paul. Gardner is a wonder, and
may yet take and fill the place vacated
by George Dixon. Gardner was ever a
fighter There is nothing fancy about
his work. He Is of the real school. The
man who bests him knows he has been
to fight. Gardner Is the busiest of the
fighters. He has fought more battles in
his time than any Of them. He Is ever
ready for go. and does not bubble at
weight.
AN UGLY RUMOR.
Ah0AC 40 0A ugly 5IOIS duOdI TO In0 ell
feet that Fitzsimmons and Jeffries may
not meet anywhere. 1t Is said that Fitz
is not even training for the affair. That
may or may not be true. Similar yarns
are invariably circulated just before q
big battle of that sort, and there Is prob
ably no more truth in this one than in
the average. 1t would be hard blow
to the game should the big fight be de-
clared off at the eleventh hour.

CYCLING CHAMPIONSHIP.
National Association Board of Con-
troll Adopts New Plans.


NEW YORK, May 6.-For the conduct
of it's 1899 championships the National
Cycling association board of control has
adopted plans which include several new
features. In future the board Of con-
troll will annually arrange q grand cir
cult, to begin on a date after July 4, and
to end not later than Oct. 1, no circuit
meet to take place on holiday or a
Sunday.
In order to decide professional middle
distance paced championships, all match
races, before being advertised for the
purpose, must be proposed to the board
Of control for approval. No event for
the championship can be at a distance
OF less than fifteen miles, nor for more
than fifty miles. Contestants In a cham
pionship must all use one kind of pacing,
either human or motor.
Annually the board of control will
award the running of the National anna
teur championships to the members of the
National Cycling association offering the
greatest percentage Of the gross receipts.
These events shall consist of a quarter,
third. half, mile, two miles and five
mile races, and the title of amateur
champion shall be decided by a system
of point scoring. five points to a winner,
three to a second rider, two to a third
and one to fourth. Not more than five
contestants shall be allowed to compete
in any final championship.
At the conclusion of the grand circuit
a match, mile heats, best two in three,
may be arranged by the board of con-
troll between the professional and anna
teur short distance champions for a
medal valued at $50.
State, county and city championships,
for both professionals and amateurs, may
be awarded by the members of the board
Of control in the respective districts, and
no such championships will receive rec
ignition unless awarded by the board of
its representatives.
