BICYCLE NOTES.

There is not the least doubt that Kit
sonville will be secured for training pur-
poses this season.
Harry Elkes and Jimmy Michael have
both located in New York city. and have
decided to make that place their future
home.
Some Of the fast" ones took a flying
trip to Shakopee and return last Sun

Each member of the executive commit
tee Of the Century Road Club OF America
has ridden over 100 centuries during their
membership in the organization.
A. A. Hanson will give his annual
'Rainmalzer" run this year May Is. 1t
will be to Shakopee and only riders Of
the 'Rainmaker" club will participate.
Hanson, has promised to stand the ex-
pense Of refreshments for the crowd.
At a meeting of the Winona wheelman
last Monday evening steps were taken
looking toward the construction of BIZ
cycle paths in Wlnona, several commit
tees being appointed, including one to

governing bicycle paths.
A. G. Bachelor, the N G. A chairman
is now in Paris, where he will complete

also states that the roads are very dusty

path for a ride shortly after noon. a
few miles out they found a quiet spot,

and the two had to move to get away
from a small prairie fire. They did not
have time to save the wheels. Two tiAes
exploded, and for half a second it seem
ed as if a bomhardment was on. After
the fire had passed away it was found
that the enamel on both wheels was
somewhat scorched, and besides the tires
the wheels were not damaged. The fire
is believed to have ben ignited by the
young man throwing away the burning
match with which he had lit his cigar.
The couple found themselves confront
ed with the proposition as to how they
should get back to town. They waited
for passing farmer but such an indivId>
ual did not show up, and so they started
away trund]ing their wheels. They

BECKER GETs FEVER.
Leaves His Chickens at Minnetonka
for the Racing Season,

Minneapolis will this year be represent
ed on the national circuit by W. e. Beck
er and Lyman Meyers. Meyers left Fri
day night for Boston, and Will immedi-
ately go into active training. He was
the only man last year who did any ex-
tensive riding outside the state. He has
improved wonderfully during the past
two years, and is now quantity worth
figuring on.
The decision of Billy Becker to again
take to the race course will be received
with some surprise. 1t was believed that
Becker had all he wanted in the way Of
honors and prizes, and that poultry rails
ing was just the thing for him. But it is
with Becker, as it is with so many other
old racing men-they catch the fever
again, and if they can't have another try
at the game they VIII always feel wor-
ried. So the chicks at Lake Minnetonka
will have to receive other care for few
months while Billy does his little stunts"
before old admirers Becker and Meyers
Will ride as team mates.
