Seven Clubs viii Enter Teams
in October Races at the
Stadium

Under the auspices OF the California
Associated Cyclers roller race meeting
VIII be conducted October 10. the pro-
ceeds TO go toward buying three cham
pionship medals for contests at the sta
dium October Is. One. three and five
mile championships will be decided on
the latter date There Will be also
II mile sprint race and a handicap
event.
Needless to say the various clubs will
enter their strongest riders in all three
seven clubs in the bay counties that
are strong for cycle racing the entry
lists viii be large.
Lawrence, the crack rider OF the Bay
City wheelmen, who has been riding
in Denver with great success. will en-
ter and is the most likely candidate
for championship honors- Some ques-
ton may be raised as to his amateur
standing, but it is believed that he will
be eligible Lawrence can ride any
distance, and II is possible that he will
carry OF all three titles.
There are a number OF speedy men
hereabouts, and while Lawrence has
the call, he viii find himself up against
a bunch OF speed marvels. The Gar
den city and Oakland wheelmen will
enter fast riders and ii would not be
surprising IL some of the titles and
the accompanying medals went to the
representatives of these two clubs
SchowaIter brothers and Bryant offtfle
Garden City wheelmen can cover from
one to five miles in almost record
llIuSs dIlO are expected to play q DrOuli-
nent part in all three races.
r. Williamson of the Oakland wheel
men, who rode the fastest heat in
last Sundays race, will be hard to
beat in the five mile event His time
for 10 miles last Sunday was very fast
and he can do just as well at half the
distance. E. McTighe, also of the Oak
land wheelmen. is another rider who is
worthy Of consideration.
In A. Waterbury and T. Muller the
Golden City wheelmen of San Fran
cisco viii have two strong representa-
tives. Waterbury made the second best
time in the race last Sunday and was
beaten only a foot or two by William
son in the fastest heat of the dav.
u. Hartman of the Berkeley wheelrneu
finished only two-fifths of a second he
hind the winner of this heat and is
expected TO make a good showing in
the five mile race
The following clubs will have repre-
sentatives in all three championship
races: Bay City wheelmen, New Cen
tury wheelmen. Central City wheel
men, Golden City wheelmen. Garden
City wheelmen, Oakland wheelmen and
Berkeley wheelmen.
The II mile sprint race will be a six
man team affair Each man Will ride
two miles and must sprint twice on
each lap. A race OF this kind will do
away with the usual ioafing at the
start and will insure fast heats
throughout Tt will be a point race, five
points to the winner, three points to
the second man and one point to the
third.

Race Meeting
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 26.-The
Kentucky association fall meeting
came to close this afternoon with
the banner attendance of the meeting.
Speculation was more brisk than any
preceding day and this probably was
the only day in the seven that the as
sociation did not suffer a big loss. The
deficit for the meeting will amount to
nearly $4,000. The mutuels did not
prove the success expected, as 1t kept
away the floating element. and Lexing-
tonians, on account of the money strin-
gency, did not turn out in sufficient
numbers to make the present racing
venture profitable. Most of the owners
who have raced will send their horses
to Louisville tonight and tomorrow to
take part in the racing at Douglas

Ovation in Chicago
Champion Nelson Is Greeted by
Cheering When He Leaves

SPECIAL p1spAroH TO THE CALL


CHICAGO. Sept 2s.-Battling Nell
son, lightweight champion of the world,
got one of the biggest ovations ever
given a returning fighter when he
stepped off an overland train today and
smilingly greeted hundreds of friends.
The Danish sharpshooters, the or
ganization that recently banqueted
Nelson so lavishly. headed the recep-
tfon crowd and there was the widest
sort OF cheering when the Hegewfsch
man stepped out on the platform and
was grabbed by the throng.
From the Northwestern depot to the
marked by great cheering. tremendous
throngs fiocking around the Dane over
the entire route. 1t was some time be-
fore Nelson could free himself from
the clutches of his friends. He was
anxious to get by himself and transact
some personal business that needed
immediate attention.
AS telegraphed you, there IS noth-
Ing doing for any of them over the
ten round route Nelson said to re-
porter. IF Packey wants to fight me
he will have to go over the long route.

battle. Cans had to fight me the long
distance and he was next in my class.
Packey is no better, and he Will have
to do likewise. 1 just turned down a
$4,000 guarantee to fight him in the
east, and 1T would be foolishness to
take him ten rounds in Milwaukee /

him that he has no right in a battle

"Of the good boys in the 1873 pound

lightweight hard battle. Watch
him.
