JOHN D. BICYCLES ON LINKS

Cleveland. Sept. ll.-John u. Rockefeller
rides bicycle when engaged in playing
golf, and the reason for il became known
to-day through man who is often his
opponent on the links.
Mr. Rockefeller does not. as is popular
ly supposed, ride the machine between
drives in order to conserve his strength.
lie has discovered that bicycling brings
into play more muscles than walking
And, what is vastly more important. he
has. the bicycle rugged so that every time
a pedal goes down IT measures a certain
distance. Hence. riding from the begin
ming To- the end of each drive he knows
exactly how long each one is.
Hereafter stories emanatng from For
est Fill regarding long drives will have
TO be accepted as automatically correct
ana not mere gucsswork.
