Cycling.
BICYCLE RACES ARE TAME
EDDIE SMITH GETS THE ANA
TEUR MILE RECORD IN 1:34 As.
The Crowd Was Small and the Events
Uninteresting-Gus Lawson De-
featS Emery.

a small crowd witnessed a rather
tame programme at the Salt Palace
saucer yesterday afternoon. The meet
was in charge of A. H. Meredith and
did not prove much of a success from
a financial standpoint. Lee Wing
Chong. the Celestial cyclist, appeared
on the track but did not compete, as he
fett slightly indisposed.
The most interesting event of the
afternoon was the paced mile by Eddie
Smith, who went after the local anna
teur mile record of 2:36 2-5. He was
paced by the Turville brothers and held
the motor in the most approved style,
crossing the tape in 1874 As, which
gives him the record by nearly two
seconds.
The unlimited pursuit race between
Gus Lawson and Emery was won by
the former at the end of one mile, one
lap and ninety yards, time 2:32 20.
Emery changed his gear before the
race, dropping it down with the inten-
tion of making a jump at the start and
catching Lawson before the latter
could get under way, but in this he
f9iled and found himself at the mercy
Of Lawson. who gained steadily on
Emery until he passed him on the sec
ond lap of the second mile. The first
mile was made in 2:OS, which is con-
sidered fast time for unDaced work.
The Turville brothers went after their
own motor mile record of LIS 20. made
last Monday. but the best they could
Go was mile i'm 1925 %, just an even
second over the record.
But four riders started in the anna
teur championship mile and 1t proved
to be a very uninteresting race The
referee announced that each rider
would have TO show in front in the
hopes that there might be show of
speed, but as each man came TO the
front he Immediately back pedaled, al
lowing the next rider to take his turn,
with the result that the race was slow
/ in the time of 2:29 2-5. Eddie Smith
finished as he pleased in the first posi-
ton. with Williams second and Beck
/ third.
Owing to the fact that one of the
motors went wrong, it was decided to
run the twenty-five mile match race
/ between julius and TurVille with bui
4 one motor and cut the distance 20 ter
miles. What should have been an in
| teresting event turned out TO be pool
/ exhibition of two riders following
single motor for ten miles IN the SLOW
! time of 20:0S. The pace dropped out OF
the fourth lap of the last mile anC
TurviIle held his position in the leaS
until the finish.
Manager Peters of the Salt Palace
stated that this was positively the las
racing that would be held on the traci
! this year. and that from now on tn
track would be closed to everyone

NEW YACHT NAMED SHAMROCK /
OLD CHALLENGER TO BE USED

New York, Oct. 13.-The contents of
Sir Thomas Lipton's challenge for the
America cup will not be made public
until Wednesday night, when, at a
special meeting of the New York Yacht
club, the challenge will be presented,
acted upon and it's contents given out

the club there is no doubt. It has been
decided that at Wednesdays meeting
of the club a special committee viii be
appointed to take charge of the ar
rangements for the races and details
viii be agreed upon at a conference
later in the year with a committee of
the Royal Ulster Yacht club, which
will cross the Atlantic for that pur-
pose.
1t is known that the challenge came
through the auspices of the ROYAL u
ster Yacht club of Bangor, Ireland Sir
Thomas has announced that the old
challenger Shamrock is being fitted for
use as a trial boat with the new chal-
lenger, and this announcement is taken
by members Of the New York Yacht
club to be conclusive evidence that the
new boat viii be built to the limit of
ninety feet water length. It also leads

How It Was Played.

The visitors chose to defend the west
goal and had the kickoff. Readings
big hoof performed this important fac
tor and the first crack out of the box
he landed the oval away and behind
the enemy's goal line. Scare picked it
up and instead of sitting on the ball,
making the play a tcuchback, he start
ed to run, which gained the Christians
naught, compelling them to line up on
the ten-yard line instead Of the twenty
fve-yard line.
A tumble then on the part of Dening
gave the farmers the ball. They pro-
ceeded to lose it on downs. Nels Mar
gets pounded through the line for five
yards and moment later made a SEN
sational twenty-five-yard run. He
would have gone on through. but Read
ing seemed to think g. whole lot of Cap
tain Margetts' wind and urged him
quite strenuously to come to a stop.
1t was as pretty and clean a tackle as
the season has produced
On the next play Scare started with
the ball. but dropped it Nels came to
the rescue and ran the entire distance
of sixty yards for touchdown. Broth
er Bert made a pass at kicking goal,
but the pigskin went wild. The score
now was 3 to 0 and but six minutes
play had been exhausted.
Reading again kicked behind the
goal line, and on the touch back Bert
Margetts was allowed to kick. The
elevens lined UP after Bert had failed
TO keep the bali within bounds, and
Davis had made q more successful eff
fort in the middle of the field, with

fact that she expects to lower Prince

sery's other half, A Rigby, the two
being brothers, also earned more honor
than be got. He is one of the hardest
workers, if not the most successful, in
the team.
The two touchdowns in the game

their work right here being superior
to any in the game. Nels started 1t
back, but the farmer boys carried him
up in the air and quite seriously re-
tarded his progress for two downs,
when Scare ran around right end for
forty-fve yards. ably assisted by the
interference of the Margetts boys Nels
advanced it another ten yards, and by
effective pushes and shOves the Chris
tians got the oval as far as the visitors
forty-yard line, when the first half
closed.
Arthur Thomas. jr., was played at
left tackle in the second half. and HOr-
lick held down right guard, the idea of
Coach Smith being to give everybody
a share in the honors. It was a repe-
tition of the first half, Reading and
Rigby going at the Christians like
steam drills, but making few effective
gains. Dana Smith became enthused
at a play made by NelS Margetts once,
and was caught coaching on the heId,
for which his side lost ten yards, the
usual penalty.
The play had proceeded for about
five minutes when the Christians had
the ball within one foot Of their Oppo-
nents' goal. Scare. in trying to make
the foot, fumbled the pigslIin and Read
ing fell on it The farmers forced it
back twenty-five yards. but finally lost
on downs. and it was then that Bert
Margetts ran around right end for the
second touchdown. Bert made good
fifty yards when the ball was put in
play again. and the Christians then de-
voted themselves to plain bucking. GO
ing as far as the Vineyard line. they
lost the ball on those fatal downs, and
while it was yet in the hands of the
nurseries the time expired.

IT. the Boston team will
q this year finish under the
~ 800 marx. Only four times
~ since 1871, a period of
twenty-nine years. have
the Bostons failed to win
more games than they lost in any sea-
son.
The last time the Bean Eaters finish
ed below the 800 mark was in 1886,
when they landed fifth in the race, with
ffty-six games won and sixty-one lost.
They are now below the mark, with
but a few games to play, and the
chances are that the team picked by
many good judges last spring as a sure
pennanU winner will come under the
wire with more games lost than won.
The Bostons have the record of having
won more championship games in
single season than any other team. In
1892 they won 102 games and in 1898 re
peated the performance, the next best
record being that of Brooklyn, which

record below the two-minute mark with
artificial pacing. It may be humiliat-
ing to the horse, but it is intended to
accomplish the feat with the use of an
automobile with a windshield attach
ment to set the pace. This could be
very easily accomplished, as there are
several machines that can make the
mile under this mark. 1t is claimed
that a horse would not follow pace of
this kind, but with q little training
equine experts think the animal would
become accustomed co the situation
and follow with the same case that a
bicycle rider does today. Horsemen
will argue that such records are arti-
fetal and that the wonderful times
made by cycle riders are of but little
value. yet the fact remains that rec
ord mile made by a horse with motor
pace would attract attention all over
the world, and perhaps give line on
how fast the horse really is when all

Punctured His Tire.

One local Nimrod went out to the
sIoughs on a bicycle after ducks last
week On arriving there he hid the
wheel in the weeds and started after
the elusive duck The first shot went
wild, but reached the spot where his
wheel was hidden, and number of the
shot punctured the tires. He had to
walk home, and now has the bicycle in
