GREATEST OF BICYCLISTS
J.nmy Michael, Who Died Aboard
Snip While Crossing to America.


Jimmie Michael. the noted Welsh
middle distance bicycle rider. who
died OF congestion of the brain on
board the French liner La Savoic
while crossing TO America was prob
ably the greatest cyclist the world
has known. He remained champion
at various distances for 4 greater
length of time and won more races
of note than any other wheelman. His
small stature ana boy.sh face Helped
10 make his performances the more
notable, and his reputation was world
wide.
Michael was born in Aberaman
Wales. % years ago. He started rid
ing in 1894. winning the champion
ship in Cardiff. He discontinued his
job as a butcher boy in order to take
up cycling. and his wonderful speed
at home gave him courage to visit
England in 1895. where he captured
first honors in every event. During
1896 the diminutive cyclist was the
champion of France. and after defeat
ing all the crack riders came to Amer
lea in the fall and scored a notable
victory over Starbuck at the Quill
club meet.
Later in the year Michael lowered
all worlds records from two to 10
miles, and it may be said no rider has
ever held as many records as the
Welsh Rarebit." AT different times
the figures from two to one hundred
miles, both against time and in com
petition, have been credited to the
name of Michael.
Behind human pace in 1897, Michael
defeated Tom Linton. an old time
rival, for the championship of the
world. He also scored over McDuf-
fie. Lesna, and Chase, who was con-
sidcred the best middle distance rider
of England. Before the largest crowd
that ever attended a. bicycle race in
Madison square garden Michael low
cred the coiors of Frank Starbuck, and
the little fellow has the honor of hav-
ing defeated every rider in America
who essays to follow the pacing ma
chimes.
At this time Michael became infat-
uated with horse racing and although
he had accumulated bank account of
$50 900 he thought he would like to be-
come a jockey. a prominent eastern
trainer gave him opportunity TO learn
and he secured a license and actually
rode in a few races at Morris Park,
but discovered this was not his call
ing. The end of 1899 found his bank
account depleted through his dallying
with the bangtails and in 1900 he
again took to the cycle racing game
Interest in this sport had died out no.
ticeably in America. but Michael coz
tinued to meet with success. He went
abroad and there at Berlin, met with
the accident which eventually resulted
in his death although it did not pre-
vent him continuing his occupation
His last appearance in this country
was a year ago. when he was defeated
at New York by the late George Lean
der in q race preceding the six day
grind at Madison Square garden.
Shortly after this he returned 10
Europe.
