WITH THE WHEELMEN.
Young Fem of This City Not in Good
 Condition.


 Young Fenn of This City Not in Good
 Condition
 Owing to inflammation of the bron- chial tubes Willie Fenn was compelled to cease all training for week. Fenn is at the Atlanta coliseum where he is scheduled for q number of races. A bad cold settled upon his throat aiN so choked him that he could not ride without danger. Fenn will start train- ing again within a week and the first Tuesday in April, if fit, will meet Wal thour in a five mile heat race, best two in three.
 Providing Harry Bikes is badly beat en ill France the old timer says that he will retire once for all from the sport and take up his studies in sur gery. Bikes is now in Germany prepar- ing for his opening race in Europe. Will c. Stinson, who went to Europe under contract to Le Velo, is said to be having trouble in Paris. being un- able to secure permission to train on either track there. The gentleman who imported Bikes to France controls both tracks in Paris and conducts rival paper to Le Velo, the sponsor for Stin- son was assured there would be new track under control of Le Velo in Paris.
 In his fall at Atlanta, Frank Caldwell of Hartford. threw his latissimus dor sus off the shoulder blade which then protruded. In the Philadelphia race Hatfield met with similar accideEt. This muscular band cannot be replaced once it is out of position. Dr Nicholson of Atlanta, who attended Caldwell, said that he had 1ectured for years on the liability of such an accident happening without once seeing such case. Had field was ill the room and showed the doctor the second case of the kind. Local surgeons f1Ocked to the sick room to view the phenomenon.
 Major Taylor is said to have slipped away quietly to Paris to become ac- climated before training. Taylor was treated like prince when there before but it is said France hardly takes the interest in him now that it did then since Taylor. after winning all the European championships, returned to America and was beaten by Kramer. Fenn and others in this country on several occasions.
 During a recent 10-mile open cycle race at Atlanta the lights in the build l ing went out suddenly and not glim- mer of light was to be seen in the i building. A dozen riders were tearing rotnd the track at the time engaged in 1 desperate race. Most of them fell and Leander plunged into box, his feet strapped to the pedals. Being strapped to his wheel saved him a l frightful fall between the track and l box edges. Fortunately none of the riders were injured, but the electric light company, after seeing one motor paced race, took precautions against certain death to the motormen by in stalling a second circuit of lights con nected with the electric lines.

AMERICANS VERY PROMINENT


 London. March 24.-The fact that Oxfords victory in the annual field sports contest with Cambridge Friday was due to the double win of Coe, an American. and that two Americans rowed in the Oxford boat, in the race with Cambridge Saturday, has given rise to no little discussion in athletic circles. It was humorously remarked that if the Americans continue to pat ronize the English universities and bridge competitions will soon develop into inter-American contests. Coe's exploits and appearance created great enthusiasm. The Daily Telegraph's s account describes his weight putting as being ..',The cast of 8 giant from a shoulder like the root of ansoak tree"
 Both the Milburns (the Americans who pulled in the Oxford boat are al- so objects of curiosity not unmixed with admiration. as few English un- dergraduates ever picked up rowing so quickly as the two Buffalonians did.
 With this American element injected into two events of such great public interest. it is scarcely surprising to find to-day's Field earnestly advocat- ing the creation of an English arbor day, on the American lines, and a writer in the Outlook urging London women to form bird protection soci- ety, on similar lines to those of the Audubon society of Chicago, an out line of whose work was given with this comment:
 we are not apt to look to Chicago for guidance in aesthetics, yet we might do worse than follow her lead ! in this respect"

 Drew, who is at present i'll Ireland, will come to this country at once to prepare for the contest. The only con dition insisted r><on by Drew it that he be permitted to use his own ball every time he serves. This Egan has consented to, otherwise the match would have fallen through.
 Egan has already begun to put him. self in condition, but as he is in good shape all the time he will not require much work for his coming contest.
 If Egan disposes of the Irish cham pion he will have another challenge on his hands from Kees;an, of Chicago. Egan says he is open to accept all legitimate challenges and will wager any amount on the result. The series, however, must be the best eight in fifteen games.
 The conditions of the Egan-Drew match will be best seven in fifteen games.

Former Rusher in National League
 .Succumbs to Consumption.
 New Britain, Mar. 24.-John F. Rus sell, the well known polo player, died Saturday night at the home of his former manager, William A. Parsons. in this city. He had been suffering from consumption for several months For a number of years Russell was the leading polo rush in the National league. Last season he was with the Salem, Mass, team, and members of th;r~team will act as paIlbearers at his funeral which takes place to-day at Woburn, Mass, his old home. Through the last weeks of his sickness Russell expressed frequently a wish to live un- til the end of the Salem team's polo season, and it is a coincidence that the end of the season came Saturday night. He was 2S years old. Services were held here this morning at 8 o'clock previous to the removal of the body to Woburn.
