an end to all cricket at the stadium

the result as drawn game.
The Alamedans batted in the morn-
ing under perfect weather conditions.
and were not dismissed before they
had run up the respectable total of
136. Wheathy and Bird gave a good
exposition of batting The former
played carefully and brilliantly for
his 3S and was unfortunate in being
run out" Bird is a very aggressive
batsman and piled up 80 runs in short
time. These two batsmen added So
runs to the score before they separ-
ated. Brown (23) and Smith (12) made
things merry while they were in.
The Barbarian bowling was poor.
Nine Barbarians were tried out. Ly-
nam secured three wickets. The other
five wickets that fell were divided up
among three bowiers.
The Barbarians opened with Nov
erly and Jordan, the sydney university
man. When the score stood at 8 Jor-
dan unfortuna teIy pulled ball off
Bird on TO his wickets.

BICYCLE NEWS NOTES

Although the United States has been
officially invited to send bicycling
representation to London in July next
to take part in the Olympic games a
decision has not yet been reached as to
the number of riders who will appear
under the American colors.
r. F. Kelsey, chairman of the board
of control, National Cycling associa-
ton, is taking an active part in the pre-
liminary work of choosing the Ameri-
can representative and, in conjunction
with one or two New York athletic
clubs. is wrestling with the ways and
means problem.
II would be most humiliating if this
land of splendid riders were not ade-
ouatelv represented at the greatest
sporting event Oh the decade, and it is
to be hoped that the chief obstacle,
lack of funds, will shortly be sur
mounted. OF course, riders for this m
ternational contest must be amateurs,
pure and simple.
New York agent for motorcycles
recently stated that he had owned
three automobiles before buying a mo-
torcycle, but since riding the latter he
has had little desire to posses the four
wheeled vehicle.
II am not exaggerating, he says
when / tell you that over 20 per cent
of my customers are men who already
own automobiles or who are we'll able
to do so. Those who are actual owners
have large, and in many cases, very
expensive cars"

GREAT INCREASE IN
BICYCLE EXPLOITATION

The closing months of last year, so
far as bicycle exports are concerned,
shows a most gratifying swing of the
pendulum in favor of the American
manufacturer.
1t is not that the gain was phe-
nomenally large one in dollars, but that
there was any gain at all, is the nope
full feature. For the month of NoVem-
her the sales to Japan were greater
than in the corresponding year in 19Oo
by $S364. This may not seem large
amount. but as a matter of fact 1t
shows nearly a 200 per cent increase
as between the two months.
This percentage was increased IN the
case of shipments to Argentine and
substantial gains were shown IN the
business with Mexico, France ana
British North America. In British Aus
tralia the gain was about 100 per cent
for the November just passed and the
total value of the shipment was $40, 4SO
This is the more remarkable, as the
export business has been affected IN
the face of most outrageously as
eliminating tariff. which was frankly
intended TO be prohibitory. 1t is graft
flying to know that Australia quickly
discovered that so stiff a tariff wall
could not endure and change in its
provisions has already been announced
that will be of material advantage TO
the American manufacturer OF bicycles
and bicycle parts.

"SOUTHERN FLYER" IS
TO RIDE FOR A BRIDE
Bicycle Rider Who Has Won Several
Fortunes to Compete in Six
Day Race at Kansas
City

Heart interest has been lent to the
coming siX-day bicycle race, which
starts at Convention hall Monday" says
the Kansas City Journal, "by the fact
that Bonnie Munroe, known from coast
to coast as the Southern Flyer, and
the winner of several similar grinds,
will ride to win bride.
I'm the course of the last ten years
Munroe has won a small fortune

races held in all parts of the world,
but now he is practically broke. Some
years ago, while racing in Salt Lake

to Brigham Young. Bonnie spoke for

married his sweetheart had he not met
with sudden reverses which cost him
what money he had saved.

would be a six-day race held here this
month"; the girl, who is petite and pref

mires athletes to a greater extent than
ordinary, promised to become Mrs.
Munroe provided that Bonnie won this
contest. The $1,000 prize, combined with
the bonuses which will accrue in the
event of victory, will give the couple
nice nest egg on which to start house.
keeping. With this incentive before
him the Southern Flyer will make the
try of his life to capture premier hon
ors.
Judging from the quality that has
already signed up for the race, the
most famous riders in the country will
be prepared to start on the stroke of
midnight, January 49,
I'm addition to the grind, a series
of highly interesting races will oe

the interest.

at will be a good thing for racing

them to fleece the lambs. They will
not have any source of information

BOOK WORLD NOTES

Although every schooiboy knows the
importance of the bred Scott case In
United States history, it is a curious
fact that the fundamental question as to
what the forces behind the plaintiff really
were has remained for half century I'M
decided. Mr.. Frederick Trevor Hill, who,
in his decisive Battles of the Law"
Harpers), gives the first full and de-
tailed account of this cause celebre, based
largely upon documentary evidence, pub
fishes an extract from a letter written
by Roswell M. Field, Scotts counsel to
Montgomery Blair, which does much to
clear up the mystery and to abolish an
unjust tradition. After stating the re-
lation of Mr.. Fled to the case the let
ter continues: "If lou or any other gen.
tleman at w. should feel interest enough
in the case to bring it to a hearing and
decision by the court, the cause of hu-
mainly may perhaps be subserved; at all
events, a much-disputed question would
be settled by the highest courts of the
nation" This letter." observes Mr.. Hill,

stories that the litigation was instigated
by the Blairs CT their adherents, but

MOTORCYCLE CLUB MEMBERS
TAKE JAUNT TO ANAHE1M

Members of the Los Angeles Motor

and report having had an enjoyable
trip.
They left the club house, 122 West

they passed through Downey, Norwalk,
Artesia and Buena Park. Returning
they came via Fullerton, La Mirada and
Santa Fe Springs. The party had

The club members entertained their
women friends last Friday at the club
