ADDITIONAL SPORTS
and GOULLET
WON The BIKE RACE

New York, Dec. 15.-Alfred Goul-
let. Australia, and Joe Fogler,s New
York, won the six-day bicycle race at
Madison Square Garden, which end
ed Saturday night. Joseph Magin Of
Philadelphia, and Perry Lawrence of
Denver. were second, and Edward
Root of New York, and Regis Nc
Namara, of Australia, third.
Three fothe teams which had been
leading in the six-day bicycle race at
Madison Square Garden received a
serious setback. early Saturday at the
start Of the last days racing and
the whole standing was considerably
changed. .' '~ go
The upsets occurred shortly after 8
o'clock, when Bobby Walthour, of
Georgia, and Jackie Clarke, the speedy
Australian, teamed UP, each having
lost their original partners.
Clarke's partner, Grenda, withdrew
from the race because of sore knees
and Walthour's teammate. Collins,
broke his collar bone in a fall late
Friday night. At the expiration Of
the usual four-hour limit Clarke and
Walthour were allowed to combine,
taking the place occupied by Clarke
and Grenda in the second division,
and the new team Immediately start
ed a sprint to get into the first di-
vision. "
Walthour was the first rider. He
set such a furious pace that pratic-
ally all Of the twenty-sixo riders were
called upon to exchange places with
partners several times during the
eighteen minutes Of sprinting. For a
time the track appeared to be swept
by al sandstorm, SO great were the
clouds Of dust raised by the scramble.
'Walthour and Clarke lost lap, in
stead Of gaining one. Clarke. fell, but
the judges did not regard it as an al
together uni~ntentional accident and
the new combination fell back into a
new third division. ..,-s
Meanwhile the judges decided that
many Of the riders were guilty of
faulty picking Up, or allowing two
men or the same team to engage in
the a at the same time. When the
4 o'clock score was posted it showed
that penalties had removed Perchicot
and Breton, Applicants and Packe-
busch, and Cory and Walker from
the first division.

G. o. P.,s uphiII Prospect.

New York Evening Post: A national
convention Of the republican party in
1914, held in order to confess that con-
troll of the national convention of 1912
was determined by the delegates from
rotten boroughs, would be something
Of a novelty. Yet it is recommended
by the law committee of the repub1i-
can national committee. Only by a
convention can the basis of represents
alton in conventions be set right. We
shall hear much more OF this next
month when the full national commit
tee takes the matter UP in earnest.
For the present, the plan deserves
notice as one sign more of the way in
which the feeling pervades. Republic
cans that they must rehabiliate n
reunite their party lie they are to have
a dogs chance in 1915. There is no
longer a vestige of. the comfortable
belief that Wilson would make such a
mess of 1T that any old party--a for-
tori, the grand old party-could beat
the democrats in the next presidential
election. Nor is there much left Of the
ancient hope that 81 popular reaction
against tariff reductions will surely re-
store the republicans to power. They
are now in that cllastened mood which
means penitence and reform. To sue
coed, they know that they must de-
serve to succeed; and they contem-
| plate, even IL with a sigh, a course Of
moral training as necessary. As a
sign Of 1T comes the suggestion that
they will take Judge Hughes as their
candidate next time. But this will
doubtless only make him 81 into ac-
tive training for a vigorous refusal to
permit the use of his name.

STATE HAS
MOST WHITE Pine

Washington, Dec. 15.-The largest
remaining virgin stands of white pine
in the United States are oun in Min
nesota, according to a state report just
published.
These, in addition to the stands Of
Norway and jack pine, spruce, tama-
rack and balsam fir, add much to the
states timber wealth and MAX 1t con-
tain some of the most valuable timber
east of the Rockies.
The report which gives these facts
deals with the wood using industries
of the state n is the result Of coop
Grafton between the state federal au-
thorities.
The field Investigations were con-
Quoted by members of the United States
forest service. Certain statistics on
present n future supplies of Minne-
sofas timber We're contributed by w.
r. Cox, state forester, who brings out
the diminishing timber resources of the
state, n advocates measures for con-
serving them.
Twenty W~oOd-Using Industries.
Twenty different ~wood-using indus
tries are reported, not counting saw
works, which are not included in an
Investigation covering only nanufac-
tured commodities ..e -
The wood-usipg industries require
forty-five kinds of wood, of which
twenty grow In Minnesota and ali but
three are native to the United States.
Two are furnished wholly from within
the state. aspen n balm of Gilead. In
all, Minnesota uses nearly 1000, 600, 900
feet of material in these industries, and
supplies seven-eighths Of this quantity
from within it's own borders.
Eighty-three Mills.
The largest industry makes planning
mill products, such as flooring, siding
and ceiling; more than half of the ma
terial used is white pine. This product
Is turned out by eighty-three mills. r
The sash, door and ,millworll ndus-
try comes second, and here again
white pine furnishes more than half of
the material. The box and crate in
dustry comes next, followed in order
| fixtures. vehicles. paving blocks, agri-
| cultural implements, gates and portable
fences, collins, silos and handles.
The sawmiils of the state turn out
| each year so per cent more material
than Is demanded by the wood-using
industries. y

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Gossip of the
wheat traders is bullish. but the light
trade is regarded as against a big ad-
vance right away. The disposition is
to work on the bull side, as all the
conditions are regarded as favoring
buying on breaks. There are a few
traders who believe that prices are
too high and that sales should be made
on all bulges, but they are not trad
ing heavily. A number Of local corn
bulls sold out Saturday, being afraid
of a break on the heavy movement and
believing that within a short time
they can get their corn back at lower
prices. There r some good sized
lines of and July let go that showed
