Waterbury Democrat., 1902-12-10


 There has been much correspondence recently among the track owners. with the result that at the meeting in New York system will be adopted for bowl racing that will put the sport on Ia better basis than it has ever en- joyed.
 Baltimore is to go in with Boston, Providence, New York. Philadelphia, Newark, Washington and Pittsburg to make up a circuit of tracks on which are to be given motor paced racing on a regular schedule in the same way that professional baseball is conduct ed. A group of about eight top notch men, such as Michael, Bikes, Wal thour, Freeman and Leander, are to be matched to race in the series of sched- ule events that are to determine the championship.
 The men are to be paced by single motors, and each track is to have two single motors in reserve, for all races, to be used in the event of accidents to the regular pacing artillery. In ad- dition to the eight star riders there are to be two substitutes on the list to take the places of men who may be injured or taken i'll. A portion of the winnings. of these substitute riders is to go for the benefit of the men whose places they may be taking because of injury or illness. In addition per centage of all receipts is to go to a fund to be applied for the benefit of riders who may be hurt or taken i'll.
 The American Bicycle Go, it is un- derstood. will aid the sport next sea son by supplying motors to the men of the highest class in racing.

 VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 10.-The steamer Shawmut, from Manila, brings news of piracy in the Philippines, the desperadoes being led by an American. The brig Maricia, bound from Cata- nuan, Payabas province, for Manila, had beaten up the coast and was be- calmed off Cavite bay.

During the night sloop came alongside, and six men climbed over the rail and immediately over powered the Chinese crew, binding all hands with ropes.
 One of these men was an American dressed in a garb of an inspector of constabulary. Two of his followers also wore constabulary uniforms and carried revolvers, as did the American. The remaining three Filipinos were armed with bolos.
 Upon the pirates reaching the deck of the Maricia the leader claimed he was a board of health inspector and intended to search the vessel for arms and ammunition. After the crew had been overpowered the Chinese were brought forth and at the point of drawn revolvers were made to give over their money, about SIT, ,O00.
 The pirates embarked in their boat again and, heading toward Cavite, threatened to kill allahands on the brig if they Hid mi koon r1,inf When fha vessel arrived at Manila, the customs officers were informed, but no clew was found to the robbers.
