because victory will mean much to each
team. II Riggs wins this nine will be
tied with Washington Loan and Trust for
third place, and If the trust company
wins 1t wi go up notch and be tied
with American Security. Both teams are
on par. but it is the opinion of many
that Washington Loan and Trust Is
stronger In the box than Riggs. Manager
Childs expects his men to carry off a
much desired victory, as Rigs is anxious
to be strong contender in the race for
first honors.
One of the most important games OF
the season will be played tomorrow after
noon when Commercial National and
American Security clash for their second
game of the season. The Commercial
boys trimmed American Security by a
one-sided score the asst time these two
teams met, and for this reason one will
enter the contest with confidence and the
other with determination. Rawlings will
in all probability twiri the same unless
he is compelled to stay out of the game

fact he lacks both weight and experience

some quick breaking benders up his
sleeve. He also has good control and is
very steady for yOungster. This team
should work him more. and 1t can safely
be predicted it would be all the more
benefited by the move. now that Scharf
is nursing lame arm. National City is
weak at second base and should fill this
gap with a new man.
Hoover of Commercial is hitting like a
house afire this year. and about leads his
teammates with the stick. Hoover former
ly caught for this nine. but is holding
down the job in left field this season.
Since joining the outer garden ranks his
hitting has improved and he is making
the kind that count. as he usually lines
them out for two or three bases. Stod-
dard is also hitting the ball hard and
timely for the Commercial nine this year
In fact, the whole team is hitting, which
accounts for the position 1t holds in the
race.
Finney Is playing an excellent game in
the field for American Security this year
and is making all sorts of sensational
stops for the trust company. American
Security has q valuable man in this lad
as he can play either third or second in
a creditable manner.

WHERE DO BIcYcLIsTs
"BELoNo TO BE p

"BELoNG TO BE?"
Edtor Daily News: We rise for
a ONT Of Eforn 2tioI 4.
This question is pertinent to every
wheelman in Daytona and surround
ing communities.
The city ordinance says plainly
he does not belong on the sidewalks,
and attach sufficient penalty in re-
straint to discourage the practice.
The property owners say, mot on
the packages at our displeasure'
and some of them enforce their in
junction by driving wooden pegs on
the line to keep intruders off.
The two wheel and fOur-wheel We
hicles by force of practice declare,
You are on sufferance here; we
appropriate the best that goes on the
roadway. You are at liberty to skirn-
ish around us, but at your own risk,
and you mustn't squeal if you get hurt
And while this is might, it is not
right, for we believe the laws Of the
road would protect the bicyclist if APP
pealed to, still obtains twelve
months in the year, but more espec-
tally during the winter season when
traffic and pleasure crowd the streets
with vehicles,
Examples of this have not been
wanting within the last rainy spell.
Take Palmetto avenue for instance.
1t affords five or six feet of hard road
after a protracted rain, with border
of slush and water on each side. The
automobiles and wagons keep to the
middle Of the road, and the bicyclist
has a choice Of taking to the slush
or turning back Not only one but
a dozen instances of this kind have
been observed by the writer. Of
course it is not pleasant for the auto
lst to dig his machine in the mud,
but at least his clothes are spared,
which is not the case if the bicyclist
plows into the same. This holds true
Of the wagon drivers also.
The other day the following in
stance came under our observation:
4 delivery wagon was drawn up to
one side of the street, and a truck
wagon on the other side opposite. This
was On RidgewoOd, and the mud was
nearly shoe deep. A lady came up
the street On her wheel and was close
to the vehicles when an automobile
came dashing and footing around the
corner. and although the rider was
plainly in sight, the speed was not
checked. and it passed the two wag-
ons.. The wheelwoman narrowly es-
capped an accident by turning abruptly
across the street, driving through the
deep mud. and lunging on the side
walk.
Most of our selfishness is caused
by lack of thought rather than lack
Of consideration, and it is with this
intention that the attention Of the
two and four-wheel drivers are call
cd to the fact that the rights Of
the bicyclists should be respected
more than they are.

proved mainly an unpleasant situation
for him, might have resulted more
seriously, but for his presence of
mind

step as he was getting into his bug

up. he was thrown under the vehi-
Gle, still retaining his hold on the

hand. at the same time letting go
with the other and then, as soon as
he could get his bearings, let go en-

turned over in the soft mud resulting
from the several days of rain.
When he regained his footing he
was minus some epidermis but had
acquired a thick coating of rich black
mud.

sight at the time, stopped the horse
