Cycling is popular sport, and ii
seems to be getting more so every
day. Now and then it's ranks are

back into favor. The reasons are
many for the success of cycling II
is most interesting sport. and 1t is
a clean sport, and, above all, 1t is an
honest sport. That's the reason why
it has survived the numerous attacks
without going under. With all its
faults, it is bigger today than ever,
and when one realizes the concerted
efforts made to kill it during the pres
ent season, it is marvellous that it
has stood the storm so we'll.
C
As an evidence that the game is
bigger than ever, the largest crowd
in the history of cycling In this city
turned out at the Velodrome yester-
day Manager Frank Million said that
the attendance was in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000. The grand stand was
crowded, the bleachers were filled and
about 1900 fans were in the well of
the track. If there had been more
room there would have been even a
turned away because they could not
be provided with seats.
G
The occasion was big one in many
ways. Men prominent in the bust
ness, political and athletic world were
there. The most notable personages,
from sporting standing. were the
members of the German Imperial
Olympic Commission, who are here in
this country to study our means and
methods of doing things. In the party
are four members, by name Lieuten-
ant Won Reichenau, who wears
monocle and speaks English well; DR..
Martin Berner, Joseph Walter and
Carl Diem, the secretarq. The Ger
mans were escorted to the Velodrome

of Hudson; John Haas, boulevard
commissioner of Hudson, and Johnny
Hayes. the Olympic Marathon win

siastic over the races, but were COM
PEELED to leave, much against their
desire, just after the start Of the final
event of the day. Lieutenant Won
Reichenau, in speaking for the COM
mission, said:
I'VE are in America to study your
ways of conducting big sporting
events, so that we may be able to do
justice to the Olympic games in 1915.
We have seen much so far, and we
expect to see everything possible be-
tween now and September 49, when
we sail for home. You do things
fast over here and you do things
well. Cycling is one of your big
sports, isn't it? Your races are fine
and your crowd is large. We have
large crowds, too, over in Berlin. We

! Mr.. Chapman has been in the game
so long that he seems to be lost with
bank roll and nothing to do. He al
ways said he would like to watch the
races from a seat in the grand stand,
but now he Is even tired of that, from
to Australia is not surprising. He has
been there before and he has talked
about such a voyage with troupe
| of riders in his charge a number of
| times Americans who have tried to
promote sports in Australia have
| Jared poorly. The laws of the country
| are strict and the rules of sports, es-
pecially cycling, are tricky. One wise
head in talking of Mr.. Chapman's pro-
posed Australian tour said:
Chapman will be surprised after
he gets into the game over there how
he will be worked. 1t is murder for
q stranger to get in at ALL Johnny
has bank roll now, but he will not
increase 1t in Australia. There are
many better propositions in this

Jackie Clark rode great race in
the twenty five-mile event and he
won by five open lengths at the finish.
Bob Spears, whom it was thought
was a sprinter only, finished second,
! and showed that he had sufficient en-
| durance to go any distance if he
makes up his mind to do it. Spears
was in fine form yesterday and his
victory over Kramer in the handicap
looked very sensational. Without try
ing to disparage his ability in the
least, Spears was rather fortunate.
| He caught Kramer for sleeper. The
| champion was leading the pack COM
ing into the stretch for the last time
and thought he had the race won.
He was riding very slowly and Spears,
| coming with belated rush, seemed
to be fairly flying. He went by Kra-
mer like a shot and the fans went
mad at his display of speed. Kramer
hung his head at his carelessness, but
to Spears belonged the victory and
the cheers.
Referee Ross was on the job yes
terday and he doled out two bars of
just punishment to two offending
riders. To Gus Wohlrab, who bru-

sprint races are also interesting. We
have heard much of your great cham
pion, Kramer. We are going to visit
other American cities-Washington
Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago.
We are going to see all the sport we

Why, we are going to a fight-prize-

York. We are going to see every
thing. Then when we go back home
we will be able to tell our folks what

has become real bike fan. He re-
manned until the races were over and
later had luncheon with Manager
Million at the Washington. The mag
mates had a confidential chat, but
both asked to be excused from saying
anything definite in reference to the
sale and purchase of the Newark
Baseball CLUB.
Mr. Ebbets said:

Newark Club and 1 won't say that l
won't sell it. have partners in the
enterprise and they will have much
to say in the matter
Mr.. Million said:
Nothing has been done about the
purchase of the Newark Club by my
self and Mr.. Uppercu, my partner.
I'll admit / am anxious to go into
baseball and Mr.. Uppercu feels the
same way about 1t. l will know very
soon il we are to buy the club When
the matter is settled the public will
be told all about it,"
The prospects, as far as | can see,
are very rosy for Messrs. Million and

club. While Mr.. Ebbets, or any of
the other major leaguers, for that
matter. will not commit himself on
the question, it is pretty we'll

IT is believed that so far the profits

PurpOrted Champion Apple Falls Short

the biggest apple ever raised in the
world, claiming that the purporte1
champion was raised IN England. How
ever, the fruit does not come up to

hibited at Spokane, weighed 81 ounces.
The same year, a Gloria Mundi, small

The apple receiving so much trade

THE LIBRARY

The county now has library, with
handsome home. 1t is an institution
that the citizens of the community
should be justly proud Of. Not only of
the Carnegie home, where those who
desire to do SO may searcn the refer
ences and texts that will be kept on
the shelves and at which all of us will
be able to point with pride to visitors,
but the library, as an institution of
learning and education.
However, the success of the library
is going to depend to great extent on
the manner in which we make use of
it, Are we going to allow it to be a
mere she'll. a library in name alone?
Or is it going to be all that modern
day institution Of the kind stands for?
The work has started out well. Branch
es are being established in all parts OF
the county. and judging from the use
that is already being made of the
books, the library is going to be Z
source Of beneficial information to al
the people of the county.
