The opinions of the larger bicycle
dealers with regard to the outlook for
racing and bicycling generally this
year is very conflicting. One thing is
certain, and that is that the interest in
that sport Is tagging. The fad is on
the wane.
The Stamp firm were seen yesterday
and they reported that up to date the
sale for wheels has been very back
ward. This situation is due in no
small measure to the condition of the
weather, but it is very hard to revive
the interest. 1t seems that mixed runs
will become very popular this year,
where pleasure rather than speed will
be the order.
In speaking of his prospects for a
racing team this year, Mr.. Stamp said
he had not as yet given the matter
any thought He said that in case he
decides to take racing up later in the
season, he will do away with his trip
let pacing machine and buy a motor
tandem. The sale of wheels up to date
has run to about twenty-five machines.
At House & Herrmann's yesterday,
Mr.. Wesley House, manager of the
bicycle department was of the same
opinion with regard to the prospect
for racing. Nevertheless the firm has
already secured trio of road riders
who are hard to beat. Tom Garden
will ride an Andrae. Ed. Soliday still
sticks to the Wolfe-American, and his
brother Charley will ride the Spauld-
ing chainless in road work. The sales
have been very gratifying, running be-
cix Ava md 1T
The Wheeling Novelty, Machine and
Electric Company will move in their
new quarters on Market street, Just
south of the Mutual Bank, on Monday.
Mr.. Schubert stated yesterday that the
interest this year with their customers
was greater than ever before. The
company had charge of the Wheeling
Park track last year and are after the
management Of it this year. The track
will be improved over last year, and
both week days and Sunday racing will
be introduced. The management has
already secured six first-class men for
their teams. McGranahan, who made
such a successful debut In local track
and road work last year, will ride a
Hoffman this year. Burt Pickett will
be his partner on the Hoffman team.
Herman Fredericks and Percy Harris
will be on the National team, and
Johnny Merge and Max Alboth on the
Aldridge team. If Mr. Schubert can Sc
cure the park track, the local talent
cannot kick on lack of events.
The Rough Riders have maintained
their organization during the winter,
but the interest seems to have become
very lax. The club will, however, con-
duct their annual road event on July
4th.
The Carroll Club Cyclers will also
organize in the near future.

FOOTBALL INTEREST:
+. LOCAL TEAM IN LINE.

Seldom. if ever. has the interest in
football been so keen as this fall. The
very creditable record made bv the
Rock Island High school team last
year has given the lovers of the game
room for hope that the record of last
season will be bettered this year.
The team this year will be made up
of green material to a large extent
owing to the graduation of many OF
last years stars, but enough of the
second team men will be held in
school to form a nucleus for this years
eleven. 1t is expected that Capt. Tom
Totten will call the candidates out to
practice next Tuesday night and from
then until Thanksgiving day the air
will be full of pig skins. Moline and
Davenport have been practicing for
some time, so good conscientious
work will be required of the Rock ISL
and boys to overcome this early prac-
tice of their opponents.
Many good strong boys have signi-
fed their intention of trying for the
team. and the prospects for as good
an eleven as last-year are excellent.
