Church Defeats NIcDuffec.

McDuffee caught tartar when he
took on Charles Church for fve-mile
pursuit race for a $3.50 purse, winner
to take all. Mac was so sure of win
ming that he conceded Church a start
OF 100 yards. The latter, having lost
the toss. started from the back stretch
mark. McDuffee from the tape. From
the pistol McDuffee not only failed to
gain on his opponent, but the latter
actually began to creep up inch by
inch on him. The crowd of $500 was
with Church to man. Church gained
thirty yards in the first mile owing to
his starting point being at the top of
the high banking. At the finish the
Quaker had increased his lead to fully
ESQ yards. McDuffee's time for the five
miles was 1888; Church's, for the five
miles, less half lap, 11:16 1-5-very
close to Titus record of IL % for the
full distance.

was first drawn to Farmer Bill" Blum
three weeks before the race when
James Temple. former trainer of the
University of Wisconsin football team,
found him doing his own training on
a thirty-pcund machine of ancient
model on which he nevertheless man
aged to stick to any pace that the 9TH

any efforts to shake him. Temple
mounted him on a new 22-pound bicy-
Gle geared to 81, on which he won the
race. He is a German-American ma
ehinist by trade.

All the Idols Fault.

The recent East Indian famine has
had some comic features. In Aurun-
gabad the priests were paid to pray
for rain and did so, day after day, but
the rain failed to appear. though very
costly professions were organized. At
last the people became angry, threw
the gods into the rubbish heaps and
blocked up the entrance to the temples
with masses of thorns, as a penalty for
keeping the fields dry. It's just as we'll
for a Hindoo god to attend to business
if he wants to keep his job.

several years ago in st. Louis by E. E.
Anderson, a professional who has since
retired from the game. Anderson was
The Globe-republican., 1899-07-06

winner OF chicago Road Race.
There were PAT entries, but only 211
starters sent away by Starter Hess.
Each bunch got eff on time and there
was not single spill. OF the 211 who
started, only III finished at Garfield
Park track, the rest dropping out along
the course Thirty men were slightly
hurt as the result of falls. but there
were forty-five members of the Geneva
emergency corps. wearing red cross
badges, distributed along the road, and
they promptly took care of any who
needed attention in dressing cuts or
bruises. The thousands of spectators
who assembled at the finish and all
along the course were as enthusiastic
and good natured as usual and clearly
demonstrated that interest in road rae
ing is long way from dead. The first
man to cross the tape in front of the
judges stand was, as usual, very
dark horse and few recognized him.
His name was even unknown to most
of the riders who had been training on
Garfield park track with him for sew
eral weeks past, and among them he
was nicknamed Farmer Bill" He
covered the twenty-five miles through
mud and water in 1:17:42. with a
handicap of 1880, and finished with
plenty of strength and speed left for

The L. A. W. has yielded to the col
lege mer, permitting them practically
to do as they please. An alliance"
has been signed between the L. A. w.
and the Intercollegiate Bicycle Racing
association as follows:
"All members of the League OF
American Wheelmen and other riders
entering intercollegiate bicycle races
shall be governed by the rules of the
intercollegiate Bicycle Racing assoc:a-
ton. but members of the associated
colleges entering League of American

shall be terminable by either party up

As an alliance exists between the l..

the L. A. WIS surrender to the col
legians, is also relieved of an unpleas-
Ant predicament Under the alliance"
the c0llegians can race without punish
ment on the Berkeley Oval track
which must be blacklisted for the meet
under N. c. A. sanction, and will also
be able to compete with impunity with
