BAILEY WILL MEET
NJ DOUGALL FIRST
Program for English Amateur
Changed by VelOdrOme
Management.
BIKE NOTES AND GOSSIP

1t was a day of gloom yesterday
among the racing cyclists. The rain
of the last few days, that caused base
ball schedules to be sadly muddled,
refused to abate for the local riders,
and the meet scheduled for the Velo-
drome yesterday had to be called off
A big change in the program will be
made, as Donald McDougall, the
American champion, will meet Bill
Bailey, the English and world S
champion, in the uch-talked-of
match, the Bailey Kaiser match be-
ing carried over.
The Cycle Racing Association, the
organization controlling the sport in
this part of the country, has gotten
out neat lapel buttons for the Bailey
McDougall match next Sunday. The
McDougall button bears the picture
of the speedy Newark youngster, with
the caption american Champion"
That of Bailey bears the English
visitors photo, captioned Worlds
Champion"
Worth Mitten, the Iowa cyclist, who
was injured in a paced race at the
] Point Breeze track, in Philadelphia,
recently, is able to get around with
! the aid of a pair of crutches, and
navigates the busy highways like a
one-legged veteran. Mitten says the
crutch manufacturers made blunder
| by not putting three-speed crutch
on the market.

Coaching Football Eleven
at Seton Hall Prep.

Carl Anderson, the athletic instruc-
TOR of Central High School, has desig
mated Saturday evening, February 4
as the date for the second annual
indoor games of the High street In
stitution. On the program OF the
evenings sport are the usual indoor
events with the exception of the two
mile run and the weight events. Last
year the games were huge success,
running off smoothly under the d.
rection of Anderson and his associ-
ates, who were the A. A. Z. men
that handled the big indoor meets of
the winter in New York CITY. In ad-
dition to the schoolboy events, An
derson arranged a three-mile handl-
cap in which Kohlemainen, the Swed-
ish athlete who made such a record
for himself in the Olympic games
held last summer in Stockholm; Louis
Scott, the South Paterson A. C. flyer,
and Castor Strobino. another Olym-
pic hero who was the first American
runner to finish in the Marathon
event, participated. This winter An
derson hopes to place similar GALAXY
of stars In a special event. In the
scholastic events last year the cream
of the scholastic runners competed.
Gold, silver and bronze medals will
DE offered the winners in the vari-
GUS events, while splendid trophies
will be awarded to the winning re-
lay, the school that scores the great
est number of points in the open
competition and to the breakers of
the standing records of the scholas-
tic world In addition to the op~a
events there will be several closed
to the Central athletes.

University youngster who won first
place for the New York Athletic Club
in the pole vault event Saturday in
the senior track championships of
the A. A. u, is well known at Bar
ringer High school, where he still
holds the vault record Of the school
at 10 feet 6 inches. Curtis went from
the Ridge street institution to Weno-
nah Military Academy. He left
Winonah to take up study at Tome
Institute at the time Mayser, the old
Academy coach, took charge of the
athletics at the Port Deposit School.
Chick graduated from Tome, but not
before he had registered many points
In, .thes pole vault and high Jump
events in which he specialized. Among
his successful efforts at the Tome
School was the winning of the vault
event and a tie for first place in the
high lump at the scholastic cham
pionships held every spring at Frank
I'm Field, Philadelphia, under the
auspices of the University of Penn
