Of the amateur bicycle league of
America feel assured that the sec

ic. City, the middle Of next month
will be the largest and most i'm
portant in the history of amateur
cycling. Has funny sound, hasn't

A great many persons. otherwise

the diplodocus, the dinosauer and
the single tax theory. ~
Not so. The cycIOdrome, velo-

where professional bicycle riders
race every week throughout the
season are popular centers that vie
with the big league ball parks in
point of patronage and partisan
enthusiasm. Every rider who starts
in the various amateur races next
month-there will be junior events

ISLANDERS COME
BACK AFTER A.
RUN OF DEFEATS

The Islanders have been playing
winning baseball since the memoir
able streak of IA consecutive
games.
After the locals had lost the en-
tire series of four games to the
fiftb-place Ottumwa Cardinals,
bringing the losing streak within
one game of the mark set by Du-
buque earlier in the season, they
took a new lease on life and start
ing with the Dubuque series of
Aug. Z, s and 8 won three Of five
games.
Jimmy Councilman, at that time
manager, had the satisfaction of
seeing the team win every series
from that date until he left the
team, following the last series at
Dubuque.
1t might be we'll to mention at
this time that Councilman did re-
markably we'll during his reign as
manager, considering that the team
rarely, if ever, was favored with
lucky breaks, while injuries were
continually hampering its hitting
and fielding strength. Before
Jimmy severed relations with the
club the team was again playing
winning ball.
Then came Conzelman's depar-
ture to enter school and the advent
Of the popular Tommy Thomason
as manager of the Islanders.
Tommy's first act was to lead his
new charges to two victories, in
three starts, over his former team
mates.
The Islanders then embarked on
the final road trip of the season
and have made a sweep Of the
Marshalltown series. The locals
have climbed back into third place,
and If the season were a little long
er might overtake the Ansons and
Bunnies.
The fans are of the opinion that
Thomason will soon have the team
over the 500 mark in the percent

O'ROURKE SEEKS
TO WOO KILBANE
INTO DUNDEE GO
Doubt If Mate h
Would Attract Gate
Clerelander Asks.
BY FAIR PLAY.

(COpyrlSnt, l?ZL, Dy Inc ATSuS.)
New York, Aug. 22.-When Tom
O'Rcurke reaches Cleveland We'd
nesday he will carry a load that
even his broad shoulders may drop
before he returns. He goes to Cleve-
land in his first job for the new
republic A. The job is to WOO
Johnny Kilbane into ring argu-
ment with Johnny Dundee. If he
hopes to succeed in coaxing kilbane
to fight Dundee, his wallet will have
to be bulging with money.
A lot OF folks in these parts and
elsewhere believe that kilbane, who
has padlocked himself to the ma
tion's featherweight title and him
sell out of the ring for 10, these
many years, would stand L grand
chance to drop his crown if he ever
got into a ring with Dundee and d
referee permitted to give decis-
ion. Others have tried many times
to do what Tom O'Rourke started
to do today. Kilbane has always
wanted the underground vaults of
the treasury department plus a sec
ton of the mint as a reward for
showing himself in a prize ring.
1t is extremely doubtful if even 4
kilbane-Dundee go would. draw
enough gate to pay the Clevelander
what he is sure to ask. There was
talk today among some optimists
tina: such battle would attract
10000 and that seating arrange
ments would be built for that num-
ber at the Polo grounds but there
are others who say that the man
who has held the featherweight title
of the world since many of US first
started shaving, is not magnet
enough to draw that many dollars
out of the pockets of residents of
New York and hereabouts.
Dundee has shown he can make
the weight and still hit He did it
when he pounded himself into the
New York boxing commissions YER
sion of the featherweight title over
the shuddering form of Danny
Frush. But, can kilbane make the
grade after his long absence, and
get away with it?
kilbane's own attitude appears to
be the answer. He knows he would
be taking a long, long chance to
drop the biggest advertising asset
OF his Cleveland store, and that he'd
best get all he can out of it if he
has to lose it.

lie interest in the Dempsey Wills

FEMALE ELEPHANT
CURED OF SULKS
BYNDIAN MAHOUT

London.-A big female Indian
elephant that went on strike at the
zoo last spring and refused to do
what all the elephants at the ZOO
are required to do-earn money
by carrying children around on her
back-has been cured of the sulks
and laziness by the seeming magic
treatment of an Indian Mahout.
She was presented to the zoo by
the Maharajah of Cooch Behar two
years ago. She had been we'll
trained and acted at all times like
a sensible, well-behaved elephant
and obeyed orders properly. She
developed no vices beyond that of
picking pockets for edible dainties.
But every elephant that has any
sense at all learns to do that in the
zoe.
Then she took it into her big
head that she would not submit to
being bossed any longer. She de-
clined to stand between the new
riding steps that had been fixed up
for the convenience of Juvenile
elephant riders. When the old
wooden steps were substituted for
the new ones she proved equally
obdurate. In the end she declined
to leave the elephant yard at all.
AS the elephant is a fine animal.
aid quite good tempered, it was de-
cided to obtain a mahout from In
dia. He was cabled for, and ar
rived in due course. He was taken
to the elephant house. He at once
entered the enclosure and formal
ly saluted the animal, standing first
at her head and then at her tail.
Next he took of his shoes. and
knotted rope loosely around the
elephants neck, which he after
wards used as a kind of stirrup.
With little difficulty he persuad-
ed her to kneel and mounted her
neck. In less than two minutes,
soothing, patting and talking volu-
bly, 10 her in Hindustani. he had
got on good terms with the animal.
Then he took her round to the ele-
phant ride, and apparently had her
in complete control.
Phrases of his admonitions, feely
translated. were as follows: II am
told that you eat your food and will
not work; 1t is wrong; Allah sen-
joins on US all that we must work
il We would eat. You are cheating
your masters, and It is unworthy

and you must not mind me. Put

The elephant certainly seemed
to understand, and now obeys ev-
cry order. The mahout was given
quarters in another part Of the gar
dens. but he obtained leave to
sleep in the elephant house. a he
says that he wishes to talk to the
elephant during the night. He has
not yet tried t. saddle her. as he

in receipt of the earl's polite note
