CYCLE RECORD
Miss ! Jare Yatman Preparing for a
Continuous Run From New
York to Chicago.

The recent achievement OF Miss Mar
Known as the champion m cyclist
of America by covering 1000 miles in 113
hours and 81 minutes, has not only
caused a lot of talk among the long dis
*ancesp edallers, but has been the means
OF inspiring of her rivals to go into
training for another record beating feat.
Long before Miss Cast was known, ex-
cept to a few cyclists, Miss Jane Yatman
was regarded as the champion in this
country. Her first success in record
breaking runs was made about a year
ago, when she set the mark for long dis
tance hiding for women at 700 miles.
For a few weeks this record stood, and
then Miss Jane Lindsay succeeded in
wrestling the laurels from her by cover
ing 800 mil IS over the same purse Much
as Miss Yatman would have liked to
lower this record, she has never
a time to go into training for such an
event, and her last experience was SO
unpleasan that it is doubtful If she will
ever make such an effort now that Miss
Cast has made the record so much
higher.
At the same time Miss Yatman is not
content to rest quietly upon the recollec--
ions of her past achievements, n she
now that she is getting INTO
condition to attempt a record making
run from New York to Chicago. Up to
the present time there is no established
record in this run for Wormen and Miss
Yatman is confident that she will make
one that will not be lowered for some
time to come.
According to the plans that she has
made, she will leave New York late in
the summer, it being her intention to
spend her vacation in this manner. The
Century Road club of America of which
she is a mambe has consented to fur
nish the pace for her and to see that
she has every facility to make the trip
a successful one
Just how she will proceed to accom-
plish her ambition is a matter that has
not yet been announced. Whi4e she be-
lieves that she can make a record that
will compare faVorably with those that
have been established by men just what
she will do will depend largely upon cir
] cumstances.
If the weather lis extremel- hot, or if
she finds that the work is wearing too
, heavily upon her, she will limit her
w rk to a century a day. To ride 100
miles is of little moment to her. and she
has done this SO many times that she has
no fear that she can carry out this plan
with comparatively little trouble. On
the other hand, it would Ne a great sat
isfaction to her to complete the trip in
much less time, and If circumstances are
favorable she will undoubtedly succeed
In he realization of her ambition.
The route that has been laid out for
Miss Yatman by those who will attend
her during the trip provides for a run
from New York to Albany. From this
point she will go to Buffalo, and SO on
through Cleveland to Chicago. -
Along this line the roads are gener-
ally good, while the accommodations for
cyclists are better than they would be
along any other route that sh could Sc
lect. For this reason ISIS Yatman feels
that she will have no trouble in making
her daily century. eve II she is not able
to put the record that she establishes out
of reach of possible contestants.
