The Worlds Famous Bicycle Rider
Again on the Track.


Major Taylor, the world-famous cy-
clist, who is now riding in Europe,
has demonstrated the fact that he is
far from being back number.
Three years ago he retired from the
track because of the continued Amer
lean prejudice. He had contract to
ride in France, but Cancelled it and
returned home, because Mcfarland,
Kramer and a number of American
riders had planned to do some more
of their famous combination trickery
in a great international meeting.
Major Taylor was willing to meet
any man in the world in special
match race. He met and defeated the
champion of every country while he
was in Europe, and then Mcfarland
and Lawson went to Australia from
here and challenged him. In one race
they got him in pocket and run him
up the bank. In his attempt to go
around, the fouled him, throwing him
over the fence and injuring him Sc
verely, When he recovered, several
weeks later, to prove that he was
their master, he rode both of them
special match races and defeated
them, Then he refused to ride any
more race and returned to America,
and retired from the tracks, and for
breaking his contract he was sued for
$4,000 by the French syndicate. The
"ase remained in Court several years
and was settled this spring by Mr.
Taylor agreeing to return to Paris and
ride. Since being there he has broken
the worlds record and defeated al
corners. 1t simply proves that if q
man takes good care of himself thai
he is good for many years in athletics

lan's latest outbreak has queer look.
What new scheme has he evolved now?
Although such a trick would be some
thing of a chestnut, it looks as if he
intended to make the match with
Cans at 1873 stripped, and then demand
the weighing in with trunks, shoes
and gloves on at the last moment, Just
as he did at Goldfield. BY doing that
he would force Cans to take off a
couple of pounds on the morning of
the fight, weakening him just as he
did before. For ways that are dark
and for tricks that are vain, Nolan

Cans Willing to Fight Dane.

New York, July 9.-Joe Cans, the
great colored pugilist, blinked at the
white lights on Broadway last night
for a few minutes. He didn't tarry
long and while he was here was on the
fight job strictly.
He had an appointment with Tex
Richard, the Nevada mining man and
fight promoter, and dropped in to see
him on his way to the West.
Richard is anxious to pull off re-
turn fight between Cans and Nelson,
and says he believes he can find $40,-

Nevada sometime in September, pref

Cans told Richard last night that he
would leave the arrangements in his
hands and would abide by anything he
and Nelson would agree upon, reserv-
ing one point-the weight Cans in
sists that they weigh in at the ring
side in fighting costume at 1873 pounds.
The division of the purse, Cans said,
would be secondary with him, so long
as it was not absolutely unreasonable.
He insists too, that Billy Nolan, the
Danes manager, be made to do bust
ness in writing from first to last this
time.
