ONE BIKE KING
 ABLE TO REPEAT
By HARRY MENDEL (Written for the United PreSS)


 Newark, N. J. (UP)-Alfred Le- tourner of France was the only champion of America to repeat during the 1893 cycling season. He won the motor-paced title for. a second successive year and also proved himself the best six-day racer. He won both of the six-day events in New York, one with Ger ard Debaets, and the other with William (Torchy) Peden, the Cam adian star. Letourner also won one six-day grind at Chicago. He was teamed with Debaets in this victory and with Peden finished second in the other Chictga meet.
 A chief development of the sea- son was the dethroning of Cecil Walker of Australia as bicycle sprint champion of America, as we'll as all-around U. s. champion. He had held the sprint title for thre successive years, and the all- around title for nine successive years.
 George Dempsey of Brooklyn succeeded Walker as sprint cham pioh, while Normal Hill, blonde star from San Jose, Cal, captured the all-around title.
 The bicycle champions for 1885 follow:
 Worlds professional sprint cham pion, Joseph Scherens. Belgium.
 Worlds professional motor-paced champion-Charles l. a q u ehay. France.
 Worlds professional road champ iori-George Speicher, France.
 Worlds amateur sprint champ ion-Jacob Won Egmond, Holland.
 American pro f essional sprint champion c eorge Dempsey, Brooklyn.
 American professional all-around champion--Norman Hill, San Jose. Cal.
 American six-day champion--Al- fred Letourner, France.
 American amateur sprint cham pion--Eddie Miller, New York city.

 ~sity
 Dr H. c. Carlson, basketball coach at the University of Pitts burg, probably gets around more than any other coach in the coun- try, as his team has played more intersectional contests than any other school.
 He has met teams of tn Big Ten. Pacific coast. Missouri valley, Rocky Mountain conference, and all through the east. He has trained some of the games best players, and probably the best of his pro- ducts was "Chuck" Hyatt, nation ally known a short time ago.
 Dr Carlson is a devotee of the pass and cut game. and the follow ing is a development of this type.
 The feature of the Pitt offense is the figure 8" formation which can be put into operation from either side of the floor as well as across the middle of the floor. The accom- panying diagram shows the possi- bilities of the offense.
 This type of game demands ex- pert ball handling and team play, as the team works directly under the basket for its shots.

A SUGGESTION

Some of our citizens who themselves never try to do any thing for the benefit of the community, are most adept at criticising those who are. Nothing that is done pleases them and those who are trying to do things are nit-wits, know nothings or have ulterior mot ives of some sort. While oth- CTS are giving their time and efforts to helping the commun- ity improve its condition or the condition of it's citizens, in ad- dition to making occasional donations of money for un- avoidable expenses, these wise owls sit around the warmest gabbing-spots, telling what blanked fools they are and what they should have done in such-and-such situation. It strikes us that these birds who know SO much about what should be done and how to do it would be not only helping their community but also dis playing a fine quality of citi- zenship if they would lend some of their sage advice to the fellows who, in their exalt- ed opinions, are always fail ing to do the right things in the right way.
 We are quite sure the latter would welcome such advice, for it is frequently difficult to figure out just what should be done for the communal benefit and the best way to do it. h. deed we can definitely assure the wise and critical ones that they would be very grateful in deed to have such bubbling founts of wisdom to draw upon when inspiration is needed.

numerous straight silver mines which have long been idle as a result of the decadence of sil- verprices during hepast three years. In addition it will add immeasurably to the general prosperity of the nation, as labor, productive industry, manufacture and transporta- ton will all participate in some degree in the rejuvenation re- sulting from 641a cent silver.
 Further increasing the bene- fits of the act to- silver produc- CTS is the assurance of a gov- ernment market for not less than "A million ounces per year. This will insure a stable market for approximately one- half the normal domestic pro- duction and also one that will be free from foreign comp petition up to the limit of the government purchasing sched- ule.
 Unfortunately, however, it does not present more than slight inducements for the de- velopment of new silver mines; neither does it offer definite prospects for increasing for eign trade from the silver-us- ing countries, which is said to be essential to the full restor- ation of national prosperity.
 At the same time it is a step in the direction of full remon- etization of silver at definite parity with gold, the import ance of which will doubtless appear later. What effect it will have on pending legisla- ton can hardly be conjectured at this. time, but evidences are not wanting that it will help rather than hinder the ultimate adoption of bimetallism a sthe basis of the national currency.
