mammoth wheel in front and small
wheel behind, known as the "ordi.
naries." He made the switch to the
safety type as soon as the latter was
introduced and has ridden many ma
chimes since, running up a mileage
close to 10000 greater than any 9th
er man of his years.
At the age of rs he had ridden 100,
900 miles and earned a remarkable col
lection of medals in various competi
tons. The medal which he prizes the
most was given to him by the Century
Road Club of America for riding 5000
miles in 1902. more than any one per
son in the United States. In 1896 ht
covered 12,400 miles and was ther
ninth on the list. The fact that h
was in the front rank in 1902 with 4,
900 miles less, indicated the decline o
the wheel as a medium of sport.

day. In dying. both revealed the fraiIty
of craft in which two score more avia-

deaths of their contemporaries.
Death in both cases was due to un-
explained accidents, probably the re-
suits Of unsupported defects in the
mechanism Of the machines.
Badger, wealthy youth, came to
his death in a pit in the aviation.
There, had been a flaw in one of the
wings of the propeller Of the Baldwin
machine he drove. Centrifugal force
broke the propeller, upset the delicate
equilibrium Of the machine and BadAer
dashed 100 feet to the bottom of the
pit. His neck was broken.
