FRED SCHADE.


from The Star of May 9, 1867
of course there was great rivalry
among all the clubs. Schade
recalls that among the other
top sprinters around town were
Fred Sims, Griffin Halstead,
AL Moran and Hugh Taggart.
Schade and Moran used to ride
together in tandem races. and
won the international tandem
championship in 1898 in New
York in the record time OF
1:583s for the mile.
Won 103 Races in q Year.
Schade's best year, though.
was 1897 when he won 103
races, finished second AZ times
and was third 1S times. For
good prizes, too. worth any
where from $50 to $1,000. the
latter being a baby grand piano
he presented to his sister.
Perhaps his most gratifying
triumph was in the American
intercollegiate smile cham
pionship race in May. 1896.
when he was q sophomore at
Columbian, now George WASH
ington U. It was held on the
one-third of q mile cement
track at Manhattan Beach,
N. Y. and about 40 Of the
country's best college cyclists
were entered. A Harvard man
protested Schade's entry. he
recalled. on account Of his
youthful appearance. The Har-
ward man didn't want any in
experienced prep school kid
messing up the field. Schade
convinced the Judges he was a
genuine college student. and
started out at the rear OF the
big field.
He hung back and up on the
rim of the track, and sure
enough there was a spill near
the start that cleaned out about
10 riders. He got around that
okay, and also around a later
spill that cleaned out about 10
more. He kept right behind
the first bunch of riders, who
were trying to kill each other
of, until about the middle OF
the 14th lap. Then from high
on the rim he swooped down
ahead Of the bunch and when
the bell rang to start the 18th
and final lap his surprise sprint
had earned him a 100-yard
lead. That was enough and he
kept in front to win handily.

Gonzales Sure 10 Gain
Tennis Greatness, His
Indoor Rivals Feel
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 24.-Billy
Talbert and Don McNeill were
lunging in the locker room at
the National Indoor tennis cham
pionships. The talk naturally got
around to the man both Of them
may have to face before the end
of week - Richard (Pancho)
Gonzales.
"He has the makings of one
of the greatest players Of the
game" said McNeill of the 20
year-old Los Angeles youth who
surprised the tennis world by
capturing the National outdoor
title at Forest Hills last year.
HE still. is a long way from
being q really great player. But
he has all the strokes and could
be just that if he continues to
develop"
Gonzales is one of the great
est racket handlers I've ever
seen," declared Talbert, the de-
Tending champion in this tourna-
ment, but seeded second behind
Pancho.
Natural Racket Handler.
"The racket always looks as
natural in his hand as If 1t had
been there since BIRTH
Compare him to great base
ball player" Talbert went on.
He's just like Joe Di Maggie.
Everything he does is absolutely
natural"
II had seen him only twice be-
fore this tournament" McNeill
admitted. "One when I lost to
him in five sets in New Jersey last
year and again at Forest Hills.
But he must have something. He
won seven tournaments last year"
II don't know whether I can
beat him here or not" said Nc
Neill, the Indoor champ in 1888
by all rights I shouldn't beat
him, but I'm going to try"
McNeill will get his chance to-
morrow night when he tangles
with Gonzales in the semifinals.
The New York advertising man,
seeded fourth. led the way into the
semif1nals yesterday when he
ousted Irwin Dorfman. former Yale
star, 8-6. 6-3. 60.
Gonzales Downs Hirschfield.
Gonzales made his way to the
semif1nals of McNeill's bracket by
breezing past Lester Hirschf1eld OF
New York, 60, 6-1, 6-3.
Talbert battles Ed McGrath OF
Brooklyn today in one Of the two
remaining quarter-f1nal matches.
The other sends Earl Cochell of
San Francisco against Fred Kova-
leski of Detroit.
Also on tap today are the semi
finals in the women's singles divi-
sion. Top-seeded Gertrude Moran
of Santa Monica. Calf, meets
third-seeded Dorothy Head OF
Alameda, Calf. in one match. In
the other, it will be fourth-seeded
Nancy Chaffee of Ventura. Calf.
against Nina Irwin, unseeded New
Yorker.
Miss Moran reached the semi
finals yesterday when she defeated
Barbara Wilkins of New Rochelle.
N. Y, 6-1, 6-3. Miss head ad-
vanced at the expense of Carolyn
Liquori OF Brooklyn. 6-1. 60.
The other two gained their semi
final berths the previous day.

Valentine climaxed 159 with a
double-header strike to decide the
issue as both teams posted their
biggest score Of the season. Fred
Murphy with 1853 and Leon Fleisher
with 1853 in a 406 set tried their
best to make it sweep for the
motors crew. The 81 win moved
Arcade into a second-place tie
with Caruso.

Johnny Ressa's 156-408 and Joe

That was shortly after the
start of the cycling craze in
this country and the local
blades were arguing about who
was faster than who. Naturally
they had to have a lot of races
to prove it and it got SO that
bike champions were regarded
as some shucks around town.
One such was Fred Schade

In Seattle. Wash. but on a
business trip to Washington
this week he had time to pause
and reminisce about the good
old days. The city has changed
q lot since he was among the
kingpins of local cyclists. but
the Ellipse behind the White
House is still there. That's
where they used to do a lot Of
their practicing.
Another favorite haunt was
the International Park track
out on Conduit road (now Mac
Arthur boulevard) near the
District line. There was a one
third of a mile dirt bike-rac-
ing track there at which all the
big stars appeared and where
Schade took part in many a
memorable race. That track
was opened with great fanfare
on Decoration Day OF 1896.

local rival, Fred Sims. to see
who could set the best mark
for a mile sprint in timed
trials.
Today at 73 Schade still is
fairly erect and weighs not
much more than the 160
pounds he carried as a bike
champ. He hasn't been on a
bike for years. though: in fact
he hardly has touched one OF
the contraptions since he gave
up racing late in 1898 for a
part in the Spanish American
War. He caught fever while
in Cuba and his health was
shot and he wasn't able to
compete again. He went West
in 1904, but before that he
lived at SIG Tenth street NV,
the house where President Lin
coin died. That house was
owned by his father. Col. Louis
F. Schade, an attorney and ed
.itor of the old Washington
Sentinel.
His fathers connection with
the Sentinel helped keep young
Fred in bicycles. The fragile
racing machines were fairly
expensive, costing around $185,
and Fred would bust up sew
eral in a season. Bike man
ufacturers advertising IN the
Sentinel would pay part OF
their bills in bicycles. 50 Fred
always was able to get a re-
placement.
Among the big bicycle clubs
in those days were the Colum-
