TRACK TOMORROW

The bicycle racing season at the Cliff
ton Stadium will be opened tomorrow
and a fine card is offered. A number
of Newark entries have beer made for
both the amateur and professional
events, and it is expected tina 200 or
more sports from this city will AXE in
the affair.
The Clifton rack is said to be the
fastest in the East, If not in the whole
country. being six laps to the mile and
banked to steeply that it is impossible
to walk up or down without falling. 1t
was Oh this track that Jake De Rozier
made most of his. records last season.
and where sunny Briggs and two
others were killed. The stands are
erected in a model fashion and are
capable of seating 5000 people without
much trouble.
The main event on the to-
morrow is a fifteen-mile motor-paced
race between Pete Drobach, Norman
Anderson and Carlo Vanoni. Then
comes the three-mile motor ace be-
tween the pacemakers and two other
riders from New York. There is also
a three-mile amateur, a miss and out
race, and the usual novice event. More
than 100 entries have been received for
the amateur events.

None of the seventeen bicycle riders
who were fined by r. C. Kelsey, Of the
N. c. A, a few days ago for refusing to
ride at the Velodrome last Sunday viii
take part in the races at the track to-
morrow, according to Floyd Krebs, the
local pro, who, acting as their spokes-
man, made this statement to the Eve
ming STAR yesterday.
1--WE are broke and can't pay the fines
and therefore will not be able to ride
said Krebs. IT admit we all signed
blanket entries, which require us to
give five days notice IL we decided not
to ride, but I notified Manager Chap
Tuesday that I wouldn't ride.
II want it understood that Floyd
Krebs is not the leader of the so-called
strike, but was selected as spokesman
by the other riders. Accordingly, I went
to Manager Chapman the Tuesday be-
fore the Marathon race and asked him
to take s75 out of the purse offered for
the race and put on another race.
"T told him the riders claimed they
were not making a living out Of the
game and this is what he said: The
game is only a sport and IL you expect
to make a living out of 1t. o had bet

SvANBERG HAS
ENTERED THE
GREAT MARATHON

John Svanberg, the Swedish cham
pion long-distance runner, is the latest
star entry in the $4,000 grand inter-
national Marathon, which will take
place at the Polo Grounds next Satur-
day afternoon. The Swede is sure to
be one of the first choices in the event,
as he has shown startlingly fast form
since he came to this country. In a
trial i've the Marathon distance sew
eral week. ago he is reported to have
rung up a record-breaking time of two
hours t~hirty-six minutes and a frac-
ton. and he followed this up a few
days later by doing h full distance
in q race against Simpson, the Indian,
at Celtic Park, in two hours, forty-one
minutes and forty-four and two-fifths
seconds, less than a minute slower than
st. WEISS time in the Marathon derby
at the Polo Grounds. Svanberg has
long been clamoring for a chance to
meet st. Yves, Dorando and some of
the other top-notchers, and if he Is as
good as his friends and hackers claim,
he will have an opportunity to show it
next Saturday.
The All-Canadian Professional Mara
thon will be run this afternoon in To-
ronto, and whoever wins 1t will be a
starter in the grand international.
All of the best men in Canada, with
the exception Of Tom Longboat, are
carded to go to the post.

Animals Cannot Reason, But

Z. T. Brewster. In McClure's.
Animals do not reason. If any one
truth has come out of all the critical
study of the animal mind that has been
going on since this century came in, this
is it. Animals do not reason; they never
have reasoned: they never by any possi-
bility can reason. The Wisest of them
do, indeed, get into the borderland that
separates reasoning from other mental
processes. but no living creature, except
n.an, ever gets unequivocally across the
line.
All this, to be sure, science had made
out in a general way twenty years ago.
But of late years, beginning with Lloyd
Morgan. the whole matter has been gone
over again, not by collecting more or less
authentic anecdotes but by means of the
most carefully devised experiments. AMI
mails have been placed in situations where
the stupidest. of mem would certainly use
reason, and where the animal had every
incentive and every opportunity to use II.
In no case has the animal done So In
stead every time it has attained its end
by a mental process that looks like rea-
son but is not. Today, therefore, science
not only knows that animals do not rea-
son: 1t understands also the mental proc
ess that in the more Intelligent creatures
gives rise to the fallacious appearance of
reason. At the present time not only
know that no living thing except man
car reason but We understand in addition
the something just as good that enables
other creatures to get on without reason.
