stantly labored under, Taylor kept Win
ming. No other rider on the track could
/ have duplicated his work, and the
knowledge that they were not able to
made the riders more bitter toward him
Iaylor disproved the predictions of all
trainers when he rode the six days
| race. They agreed that the little fellow
would not be able to sprint again. How
well he could sprint was shown in his
continued victories and his lowering of
| the worlds record at both standing and
! flying start.
Nobody who knows anything of cy-
| Gle racing last year questions for a
moment Taylor's superiority. It was
too well demonstrated. He was only
two points behind Bald for the cham
plonship when he gave up the race on
account of the secession of the riders
which he did not join. During the
| year he missed about a dozen meets
on account of match races and his in
ability to ride on southern tracks on
account of prejudice. Had he ridden
at any of the meets he missed, he
would have made enough points to beat
Bald even with the two meets at the
| close of the season at which Taylor
could not ride on account of his deter
mination to stay with the L. A. w.
Taylor might be easily called a Wor-
cester product, as he has gained most
| of his fame since he came to live in
this city in the fall of 1895. He lived
| in Indianapolis and entered his first
race when he was 10 years old. The
little fellow was put in in a spirit of
| fun. He was given Is minutes handi-
| cap in 10-mile race. He beat the
scratch man six seconds. For years
after that. he was not allowed to com
| pete on account of a prejudice which
| Of course was more on account of his
racing ability than anything else. Tay-
| lOr raced with his associates, however,
and won all the events.

the large number that started, Taylor
was the only man who had grit enough

His first performance in Worcester

George street hill 1t was not pre-
meditated, and was the more worthy on
that account. He was riding with
several members of the Albion Club on
! Main street. AS the bunch reached

! Taylor by name, asked him if he could
/ ride the hill. Taylor did not renlv
| but turned his wheel and mounted
| without difficulty When he reached
the top, he turned around and de
scended the hill on his wheel 1t being
| the only time that any rider has dared
to come down the hill. He used one
| foot as a brake on the front wheel

| Company. He accompanied the Wor-
| cester Cycle Company to Middleton and
| won short races at several Connecticut
| cities. He also won few road races
His endurance in the 75-hour race at
| Indianapolis demonstrated that he
could ride six days contest. and he
was found in the match which Teddy
| Hale, the Irish rider, won at Madison
Square Garden. Taylor finished in
eighth place. He covered 1876 miles in
the six days race. Taylor could out
/ sprint any rider of the bunch, but. on
account of his youth-he was less than
20 years old--he could not go without
sleep as the older riders could. He
| could punish himself in riding as well
as any of Them but could not stand
the lack Of sleep. For the time he was
actually on the track he made more
miles than any of the big fellows. IT
was during that race that trainers said
he would never again be able to sprint
During 1897 Taylor won % frsts, 10
seconds and 10 thirds.
Last years work stamped the sturdy
little fellow as the greatest thing that
ever came down the cycle pike. He
had to lower his colors only twice and

McDufIie beat him in a 30-mile race
and Jimmy Michael bested him at 20
miles. He got even with Michael
however. The latter was willing to give
him a sprinting match, and they raced
three-mile heats, best two in three to
win. Taylor had hard luck On the
first mile his pacing machine broke and
Michael won the race handily. He
made ! minute and AZ seconds, which
was the worlds record for q mile
standing start. Taylor started the sec
ond heat with the handicap Of a win

is dangerous in the extreme. Only such
man as Casey dares turn the corners
at top speed When a rider slips on
a cinder track. he is severely scraped
by the cinders. Casey in his training
at that track went down twice, and
was gashed badly. Many another rider
would throw up the sponge and never
ride on that track again.
Later in the year he again reduced
the record of Agricultural Park from
I'm. 9s to I'm. 6s., where it now stands.
That mark was made in match race
with Bert r. LivermOre. Casey had a
cinch with Livermore. The latter was
supposed to be a fast man on the
sprint, but Casey gave him the pace
and sprinted past him.
In 1896 he rode two match races one
with Charles II. Raymond, and the
other with Parker of Clinton. Ray
mond fell off his wheel and Parker was
left behind the distance pole.
That same year he competed with
Raymond in a coasting contest and
won. The scene of the contest was the
hill on Park avenue north Of Highland
street The conditions We're that the
men should go from 81 standing start
on top Of the hill and coast without
placing their feet on the pedals, the
man making the greatest distance to be
the winner. Lincoln Holland was
starter and pushed the men. Raymond
went first. His wheel carried him to q
point about so yards beyond Highland
street, Just where the slight up grade
that leads to "Rubbcrneck" terrace be-
gins.
Casey followed when Raymond had
fallen from his wheel. He rode his

dred dollar wheel for first prize. The
last of the season he had a record of Is
firsts, twelve seconds and eight thirds.
The best work that year was accom-
plished on Labor day. In the forenoon
he started at Whitinsville and pulled
off three first prizes and in the after
noon he went to Westboro and took
three more.
In 1897 Ekberg started out, trimming
everybody, and defeating all corners. In
this year he won thirty eight tirsts, Is
seconds and IA thirds, winning over
$500 worth of prizes. 1t was at the
big Springfield meet September H.
1887, that he got the one mile single
pace record, and he holds it yet, 2:O4
fat
That year John f. Casey and Ekberg
started riding tandem, and they got
the quarter, third half and one-mlle
records, and also the half one and two
mile competition records, making seven
worlds tandem records. Their fastest
time in a tandem race was AS 10.
Ekberg started in the New England
championship Sept. l, in which all the
cracks of the country We're entered, in-

Hills Erkhardt and many other stars
like Jim Clarke and Ingraham. Ekberg

In 1898 Casey and Ekberg We're the
crack tandem team of the national
track They rode from the scratch an
the season, and won a place in every
race, and never missed a piece of
money. They were also on the crack
quad team which was winning all the
races, composed of Sager, Swanbor-
ough, Casey and Ekberg. This team
met and defeated all the quad teams
in the country. 1t was the same team
which paced McDuffee and Linton and
won all their races.
This season Ekberg intends to start
only in sprint races. He cannot get
Casey, his old partner. to ride tandem
with him. as he is busy looking after
his fathers business interests. Ekberg
will star with Al Newhouse of Buffalo
N. Y, who will be his team mate this
year They will both ride Columbia

one built at the factory especially for
his use. 1t will be geared to 50, with
a 22-inch frame.
Later on in the season. he will prob
ably start in the middle distance races
which he hopes to enter. He will start
in training the Vikings for the news

to win in walk. They are training

But the greatest record that Casey
made was never allowed because com
petent scorers were not at the line. 1t
was in the 10 mile road race at Maiden
in 1894. Casey passed the mark over a
half a minute ahead Of Eddie McDuffie.
but was not recognized as a racer. and
the decision was first in favor of Nc
Duffie. The decision was subsequently
reconsidered, and there it stands today.
No decision has ever been made. Had
the judges kept their eyes open, Casey
would have held the worlds record for
10 miles on the road. Casey won in
Vulnerable road race prizes in those
days.
He started bicycle racing at the Memo
rial day meet Of 1898 run by Bay State
club, and won his heat in the mile no.
vice On that day Casey took part in a
team race, the contesting teams being
from Springfield, Hartford and the Bay
state club. The latter team rode in the
following order: w W. Windle, Casey.
Livernore and Billiard. Casey turned
a lead Of 80 yards over to his mate Liv-
er.nore The Worcester men won by
FIVE yards.
In the year 1894 he rode more in
road races. He won first from scratch
in the Natick race that year, in addi-
ton to the Maiden race, the winner OF
which has never been announced. When
he won the Natick race, he rode to and
from his home to Natick on HE wheel
in addition to competing in the race.
The following year he went back ia
track riding. The feature of his rid
ing that year was a match race with
Hollis A. Adams, who was then at the
height of his riding glory. The distance
was a mile tandem pace. and it was
a magnificent race. The time Of the
track previous to that race was I'm

At the L. A. w. meet at the oval the
same year, he won the haU and mile

in 2m. 26s. No rider has ever gone

are no rider will. Speed isn't the only

not considered good, especially as Mi

was never to sprint again not only won
the next two heats, but he broke the

ateur nan AIRY Of Them.
Year after year, as often as the close
of the bicycle season came around ev-
cry amateur in Worcester took off his
hat when James J. Casey came in sight
for he was the king of them all. He
has won more match races than any Of
them, and while he remained on the
track and did not allow business to in
terfere with his riding he was unde-
feated
A few years ago he could not devote
as much attention to riding as he form
erly did on account of HIS business. and
he was defeated by Horace j. Hills.
Jr., ana later by John S. johnson. He
repaid Johnson, however. beating him
as he pleased in a pursuit race. Always
modest and retiring, it was only on the
track that Casey had a rival. for he fin
ished his races there, and no defeated
opponent had cause to complain that
Casey ever boosted of his victory.
Casey has done more riding and a
greater variety of riding Than any man
in Worcester and 1t will be
many day before another man
will make as great a success in the diff
ferent styles Of riding as he. He has
raced sprints and distances on the
track, distances on the road, pacad
races and pursuit races on the track,
coasting matches, and is the only Wor-
cester rider who ever went against a
horse in public competition His per-
centage of victories is large. Had he
separated business and riding he might
have retained an unbroken record Of
victories.
