REPINE THE WINNER
FIRST PLACE IN THE BIG
BICYCLE CONTEST
MILLER MET WITH MISHAPS

Famous Endurance Rider Could Not
Regain Ground Lost, and Yielded
to the Superior Staying Qualities
of the Younger Mainland Played
"DiXte," and the SOutherner
Seemed Inspired by the Music.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. Ebert Repine,
of Nashville, Tenn, won the forty-eight-
hour bicycle race that began In Conven-
ton hall on Tuesday afternoon of last
week, and in winning the race established
new record for forty-eight hours The
distance covered, 961 1-3 miles. is eighty
seven and one-sixteenth miles better than
the previous record for a similar contest.
Charles w. Miller, of Chicago, the hither-
to unbeaten champion of endurance races,
made a determined effort to maintain his
supremacy. but series of accidents on
the track, a punctured tire, a broken
crank and another mishap, caused him to
lose ground that he could not recover
from the lucky Repine and the equally
lucky Swede, Oscar julius, who rode
without a slip or mishap. julius finished
second to Repine, lap behind, and Miller
finished a lap behind the Swede. Young
Gus Lawson, Of Chicago, the eighteen
year-old boy who rode for forty hours
with the leader, withered under the hot
pace of the last day and finished six
laps behind the leader. Bostons Ely
ing Dutchman," Frank Waller, was a bad
fifth, finishing three-quarters of mile be-
hind Repine.
Six others of the eleven starters had
dropped out earlier in the race. John
Chapman, Of Atlanta, and Oscar Plum
mer, of Kansas City, fell out after eight
hours. Fred Nelson. of Chicago went out
on the second day, and John Lawson Of
Chicago, fractured his collar bone by
fall and retired, after having ridden 324
miles. Ed Lingenfelder, of Chicago, and
L. H. Niederhofer, Of Minneapolis, went
off the track after having covered over
6OO miles and earned share of the purse.
DIXIE sPURRED REPINE ON.
Interest today conferred in Champion
Miller, who was counted on to sprint and
gain in the final struggle the laps lost
through hard luck. He did sprint and he
recovered two laps early in the after
noon. Then, late tonight, he gained an
other lap, placing him on equal footing
with the leaders. But there proved to
be another sprinter in the person Of Re-
pine. A brass band figured in the strug-
gle. After the riders had weathered
long sprint without having changed the
positions and were riding easier the band
struck up Dixie" The effect upon the
Southerner was electric. He whirled to
the front and before his competitors were
aware of it he was a long way ahead.
The band continued and Repine continued,
and before the last strains of Dixie had
died away Repine had gained lap on
his pretty we'll winded followers. This
lead he held to the end

MORE FUN THAN MONKEYS.
Raymond Howard, Aged Four, Was
Having When Arrested.

Only four years old, but a genuine
"scOrcher," Raymond Howard, tiny
colored boy, living with his parents at
662 Martin street, was corralled by Of
f1cer Dave Hennessey at Seventh and
Wabasha streets yesterday afternoon and
given q ride in the patrol wagon to the
central station. The youngster was pick
ed up at the request of his parents, as
he had "scorched" away from home early
in the afternoon on a dilapidated velocf-
pede and was lost, rather than infringing
upon the bicycle speed law.
That the little fellow was not run down
by teams or street cars In making his
way to where he was picked up is some
the most frequented thoroughfares, dodg-
ing here and there, with his Gathering
velocipede, at times with hardly strength
enough in his legs to push the pedals.
On a technicality he might have been
taken up for riding withouta bell, but he
had met this contingency as best he
could by hanging an empty lard pail on
the handle Of his ,yelocipede and with a
short stick he vigorously belabored the
empty tin every time he approached a
pedestrian. -e+~fEf
He was having more fun than any one
until officer Henpessey gathered him in,
but when the big policeman lifted young
ster, velocipede and all into the patrol
wagon, Raymondys face twitched a little
and tears stole into his eyes. Then with
a sudden inspiration he began pounding
the lard pail and rode his velocipede up
and down the floor of the wagon. At the
station he was lifted bodily out and rode
bravely into the station, where he was
taken in charge by Matron Cummings
until turned over to his parents.

''YanI<" Kenny's Elbow, Not n Door,
Broke That Hand,

CHICAGO. Nov 27.-"Yank" Kenny's
elbow, not a swinging door, is the true
reason that Bob Fitzsimmons' awful
left hand is now in a badly damaged
condition. This story was dropped mad
Vertently by a member Of the former
champions company, which is now show
ing at the Alhambra theater.
The story goes that in GAINESVILLE, Wis,
four nights ago. Bob was feeling unusu-
ally frisky. He is a rough boxer at all
times, but he was rougher then than
ordinarily. He landed a solid punch that
hurt his sparring partner and Kenny got
back in kind. Bob accepted the chal-
lerge and shot in his right. He followed
this at once with a terrific left swing
for Kenny's ribs The man who looks
like Corbett blocked with his elbow, and
Fits knuckles landed full on the sharp
bony point.
Bob groaned with pain and the bout
was brought to a hurried end. An ex-
animation followed, and soon after the
swinging door story was given out. The
hurt IS a double fracture of the first
two joints, and there is another bad
break back of the second knuckle.
