TWO AGED CHAMPIONS
WITH GREAT RECORDS

A contest seems to be on to decide who
is entitled to the title OF the Grand
Old Man Of the Wheel" with Thomas
W. Davis. Of Illinois. and ". W. Hailer
as the contestants. Each is in his
eightieth year. and both are devoted
cyclists. Mr. Haller waited until he
was seventy-three before tackling the
wheel and with all the enthusiasm OF a
convert ne broke a rib and otherwise
damaged himself before he mastered
his mount He rides daily and makes a
century every little while just to show
that he is game.
Mr.. Davis seems justly entitled to the
worlds record for distance riding, for he
claims TO have made the enormous
score OF Il9354 miles. all ridden since lie
was sixtY-one. Mr.. Davis is an English
man. anu back in 1888 saw a man riding
that weird two-wheeled vehicle called
Dandy Horse''-one Of the bicycles
forbears. In 1854 he built himself
bicycle with a couple of carriage wheels,
and since that day has owned eleven
sorts of bicycles That the wheel is an
undoubted health-maker can be proved
in his case, as IN the past twenty years
he has not lost over six days by Illness.
If there are any other veterans who
can show better claim to the title, it
behooves them to come 10 the front
quickly.

Is il legal? The rules of golf do not
in themselves permit of any picking
up and wiping OF the ball. and clubs
who make local rules To this effect are
contracting out. as IL were, from the St
spOnsibility for doing SO. But there can
be no doubt that making a change of
balls on the putting green. whether
cleaning is allowed or not is entirely
opposed 10 the whole spirit and practice
Of the game, is manifesIly unfair, and
would be fiatly ruled against by any
judges 10 whom the question was sub

afford a most undesirable scope for cum

insert a clause in IL insisting that the
