ME johnson, Zimmerman, hailed as the unde-
feated champion; Ray Mcdonald, Fred Titus,
Bobbie Walthour, Steenson, and of course our
own Fred Silnms, who one year led the pro-
fesSionals in points in washington.
Some of the local amateurs who took part
in the races beside those mentioned elsewhere
were: William F. Throop, Charles E. Gauze,
H. C. Greer, John Hill, S. A. Wimsatt, J. e.

Perhaps more interesting to witness than the
track races were the road races, for 1t made
no difference as to the kline of weather the
day happened to bring forth, the race was
run of just the same. An incident of this
kind occurred during the road-racing day along
the Conduit road around 1897, which was typi-
cal of almost the worst possible conditions, and
yet the question being put up to the riders, as
to whether the race should be run, it was de-
cided thirty-four to one that it should, though
it was raining hard at the time and the road
was in a frightfully muddy condition.
It was a twenty-mile race, and started from
above Cabin John Bridge, the turning point
being near the receiving reservoir,
and the finishing point being in front Of the
Cabin John Hotel. The riders had not gone
far before they were almost unacceptable.
Their suits and faces were despatched with
mud, and it was only by the men shouting
their names or numbers as they crossed the
tape that the judges were able to score the
rightful winners.
After covering about half the course Danne-
miller was forced to quit because his eyes were
filled with mud, and when he got of of his
wheel it was with difficulty that he was iden-
titled.
It was about the toughest and the tough
est race ever pulled off around Washington,
and it is safe to say that there is not one
of the contestants who happen to be living but

EN-" WilSon-or rather Emmor L. WILSON
mentioned as third in the foregoing list-was
a good, speedy racer and a hard one to beat.
At one time he held the L. A. w. champion
ship for the District of Columbia. Quite
frequently 1t was a nip-and-tuck proposition
between Schade, Moran and Wilson, and upon
one occasion, in a one-mile open race, the re-
suit was a dead heat between the three. The
writer was present when EN- won his cham
pionship and he. indeed. upon this occasion,
rode a convincing race. He was equally as
well at home on a tandem as he was on a
bike" and won about as many prizes in dou-
bile as he did in single harness.
Like Moran, Wilson was born in Washing
ton and sill makes this his home when he
is not in Florida or on the Chesapeake Bay.
Like Jimmy Moran, he is still in good shape,
but has gotten over the bicycle fever and pre-
fers a good automobile to a wheel.
Griffin Hastead, who the writer believes was
a son of Murat Halstead, the great American
editor. was also one of the star riders here
abouts. When he was not filling his position
as chief page of the House of Representatives
he could be seen up the CONDUIT road most
any good day, grinding away on his racing
wheels. some of which, incidentally, weighed
as low as fourteen pounds. He was unfortu-
nate in suffering a number of bad spills. but
when in good shape, he could make any of
them get up and hump.
AL the great professional riders of the day
used to come to International Park. Such
men as Arthur Garner, Eddie C"Cannon')
Ball. Tom Cooper, T. N. Mudd, w. H. Clum,
Owen Kimball. Floyd MacFarland, the Handi-
cap King: Major Taylor, the Boston Tar Baby:

mile event which was finished in rain and
darkness. The race was won by w. A. Bolden.
with j. A. Galeski second, and N. Rupp third.
AL Moran made the best time, finishing in
1:12:3O 2-5, followed soon afterward by EN-
Wilson and G. E. Smith, these three being
s~cratchmen with Damien ller, who was forced
to drop out.
As some of the twenty-sx men who were
able to stay in the race to the end are known
to be still with us, all the names will be
given in the order in which they finished:
w. A. Bolden, j. A. Galeski, N. Rupp, Lee
C~ounselman, w. w. Pittrnan, J. =. Hanger,
E. e. Wakefield, j. Z. Mitchell, A. G. Moran,

Matchett, j. F. Barghausen, A. G. Gensler,
r. W.. Moore and M. E. Joyce.
c. L. Plemmons, who finished fifteenth in
the race, is now captain in charge of No. IL
police precinct, and, as stated, was one of the
early bicycle policemen in this city.
The writer had a nice talk with Capt.
Plemmons recently and found him to be q
mighty fine fellow. His face became wreathcd
in smiles when the old bicycle days were
mentioned to him, and he even related the
results of a ten-mile Australian pursuit race
back in 1901, in which he and three of his
fellow officers took part. the others being
Officers C. L. Bode, A. c. Lynn and Harry r.
Quail. The track upon which the race was
run was at Fourteenth and A streets northeast,
and was called the Colosseum. It was a
heavily banked one-sixth-mile board track.
and each OF the contestants started from a
position equal to one-fourth of the tracks
circumference. Plemmcns won. setting the
years track record of Is minutes and 40 Sec
onds, and won a gold medal valued at SIS.

with dazzling effect upon the glittering wheels
of the thirty riders. 1t was a headlong race
for the last turn, but at the critical moment
some one faltered and there followed a sick
ening crash as the wheels and riders went
down in a conglomerated mass Of wheels and
riders.
Won Boechmann came out OF the mess
with a broken shoulder, and blood Streamed
from a score of lesser wounds.
"But Schade and Wilson had escaped. Max
ing the turn together they CAM down the
stretch neck and neck. Schade, with that
wonderful finishing sprint Of his, let out every
particle of speed, and, amid q frenzy of APP
plause, crossed the tape six inches ahead of
Wilson," .
At one time Schade, Moran and Dame
miller all rode for Georgetown University. 1t
was back in the days when Bernard j. Wefers
was the worlds champion sprinter and an
athlete who had many times also carried TO
victory the colors of Washington's Oldest in
stitution of learning. A great novelty was
arranged in the nature of a race between
Schade and the great runner for a distance
of two hundred and twenty yards. The day
of the race Wefers was given the inside course,
which was deemed an advantage. 1t was
also calculated that he would gain anywhere
from twenty-five to forty yards on the get
away. Schade was believed to be able to
rid the distance with a standing start in
22E, seconds or better, while Wefer's worlds
record for the distance was twenty-one sec
ondS fiat. On the surface 1t would seem
that Wefers had Schade beaten before the
race, but such was not the result, for Schade
came out victorious.
Schade did not confine his work to the Dis
trict of Columbia, but rode on nearly every
track from New York to Florida and during
one of his best years captured as many as
seventy-three first prizes, forty-one being won
in his native State, Virginia, alone.
A LIST of the points credited to each anna
"A teur Washington racer, for his work in
the District Of Columbia during 1897, shows
Schade in the lead by three points over Moran.
The list is an interesting review of that years
work, and contains a number of names which
no doubt will be familiar to those who are
acquainted with old bicycle matters. 1t does
not include all the Washington racers, not
by a jusful, but enough to get an idea from
at least. So here 1t is:

the most toothbrushes from the United

a dozen gdesses. for the country is india.
The brush exports of all sorts from this
country in 1928 were valued at 81, 1875, 600, of
which India took more than a tenth, or $685..

risks he ran.
A traitor high in diplomatic service, the army
or the navy of an enemy power might get top
notch prices for topnotch information. But
the highest price that comes to mind now is
said to have been paid for the blowing up by
internal machines of a frst-class italian battle
ship. That price was at least $100, 900.
There was a sort of pay scale among regular
agents of European secret services. One allied
service paid expert travelling spies 5000 a month
plus allowances for expenses, ordinary and ex-
traordinary. which included bribery. They got
also a $40 a day bonus for time spent actually
in Germany.

Then consider this American estimate of the
reports of three professional agents:
"A takes the economic information he sends
us from the German and Swiss press. He sent
us recently a German propaganda map and
stuff that can be bought on newstands in
Switzerland. He sends. no military information

Turkish newspapers months after they appear.

You had to watch yourself. We were stung
occasionally, once to the tune of SAC, 900 on
some information that looked very "hot." But
we consoled ourselves with the reflection that
an experienced Frenchman had bought for a
good price a complete list of the Austrian units
taking part in the great Caporetto attack just
started, then found the same list had appeared
three days earlier in the Italian newspapers.
II occasional informers, gold brick sellers and
even professional spies picked up sums ranging
down from that princely $4,000 to a mere five,
by selling false information, what did real
agents get for real espionage? How much
money is there in the spy business?
The answer seems to be: All kinds. The
price paid varied ~ standing OF

Men with careful training, with technical
knowledge, devoting full time to espionage often
in considerable danger. behind the German
lines. averaged $4,000 q year-a better salary
in Europe in 1918 than in the United States to-
day. Minor agents in the same service got as
little as $50 a job.
THE Germans paid better than some of the
allies. Their expert spies, the kind we read
about with cold chills during the war, got as
much as $25 900 q year. The Germans paid
that much to one officer Of a neutral army who
delivered valuable information. Special spies
like him might get more for extraordinary ex-
penses.' like a Countess N. L. h., who operated in
Italy for three months and spent SIS, ZOO.
TIL Germans usually paid probationary
agents about 500 a month, and if they travelled,
$40 q day more, plus a bonus for the mission,
depending on its Importance and danger. Often
when they hired promising men, the Germans
deposited $1,000 to their credit in q bank and
paid them q salary besides. This they did with
q few American newspaper men whom they sent
to England before we entered the war.
To Americans it was surprising for how little
men would risk their lives in the secret war.
Belgians could be got for 5000 to cross the Ger
man lines as passengers In airplaneS whenc
they were dropped by parachute to spy a WHILE,
then be picked up and brought back. Sure
