Some years ago when cycling was at
its height in this country the riders
competing for the championships were
wholly American, and only occasionally
a foreigner would be here, and then he
would be about q t~hird-rater. Now
there is a group of some of the best
foreigners in the world. including
Clarke, the Australian champion;
Mayer. the German champion; Ander-
son. the Danish champion, n Vanoni,
the Italian cycllst. These, with Kramer,
the American national champion. and
the two dozen other American cracks,
are certainly a great combination.
The races at the Velodrome tomor-
! row will be a one-mile championship,
a two-mile handicap and a mile invita-
ton professional and a ten-mile open'

twelve years the conqueror of his class

chocolate mans praises. The bell Of

in his passing from the realm of the

Cans has followed the route that all

So 1t goes.
Cans began his early life as an oyster
opener in Baltimore. The scrapping
game was booming in his early days
of youth, and he was now and then
given an opportunity to earn a couple
of dollars by boxing with Baltimore
street gamins. He had a good physique
and was cat-like in agility. 1t wasn't
long before he caught the eye of al
Herford, a wise old owl in the fighting

He has made several good fortunes

$40 AN OUNCE
FOR SMALLEST

Nile. Atom. Weighing Is
Ounces, Purchased by Phila-

NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-Mlle. Atom,
smallest of Chiffon dogs. and which
weighs twenty-five ounces, has been
sold for a price generally understood
among fanciers to have been $40 an
ounce.
She is the smallest 81, 900 worth of dog
ever seen In this country. and so far as
is known nothing SO tiny of that breed
has ever been seen in the world. The
record for littleness had been held until
her advent by a Griffon weighing three
pounds.
Mile. Atom was purchased by Mrs.
John r. Windrim, whose husband is a
prominent architect in Philadelphia.
The little creature was found in a vii
lage near Brussels. Her parents were
both prize winners in dog shows in
Paris and Brussels. Her father, the
Due de Bruxelle. weighed two and one
half pounds, and her mother, Millie,
tipped the scales at three.
Mile. Atom is five inches long and
-four inches high. She has long hair.
The color of her oat is red. with a
darker tint on the back. The eyes are
large and very expressive, n the
face Is inclined to roundness.

all without apparent effort. But there
is much room for Improvement in
Johnson's work which experience alone
can bring him. When he learns the
