TROUBLE OVER A ROAD RACE. - San Francisco Chronicle, 20 Jun 1896

=== TROUBLE OVER A ROAD RACE. ===
==== NISSEN LEAVES THE ALAMEDA CYCLERS. ====
==== The Track Association Fails to Organise - Dodd Takes Wynne's Place. ====
There is trouble in the ranks of the Alameda cyclers, and all due to the tandem pacemaking in the five-mile race of that club last Sunday. George Nissen, the crack rider of Oakland, has resigned his membership, the road race has been declared void and another ordered for the near future to settle the difficulty.
For some time there has existed a bitter rivalry between Nissen and Hurley, dating from the time the latter lowered the world's five-mile record. But up to last Sunday the two had never had an opportunity of deciding who was the better man. Upon that occasion Hurley, assisted by two tandems, succeeded in beating Nissen's time by 8 seconds. The latter was assisted by only a single rider, Goddard of the Bay City Wheelmen. He immediately raised a rumpus, believing that the tandem pacing was with the permission of the club, whereas the club knew nothing of it until the tandems hove in sight at the finish.
At the start of the race Nissen appeared wearing the colors and emblem of the Acme Club Wheelmen, and when requested to wear the emblem of the club in whose race he was about to compete seemed very averse to doing so, but finally compromised by wearing the sash of the Alameda Cyclers. Owing to the trouble the race has been ordered run over again. The next time it will be a ten mile altair, and all the contestants will be obliged to start on scratch.
Tandem pacemaking is strictly prohibited in to-morrow's race of the Imperial Cycling Club, and any rider discovered accepting such assistance will be disqualified from the race and expelled from the club.
Chairman Stratton has appointed Vincent A. Dodd of the Alameda Cyclers to the vacancy on the road racing board caused by the resignation of Henry F. Wynne.
The meeting for the permanent organization of the San Francisco Track Association, called for last night at the clubhouse of the Bay City Wheelmen, failed to take place, owing to the fact that the organization has no apparent reason for existence. The track is now being run by its owners and the clubs have no jurisdiction over it whatever.
W. A. Walker, a prominent wheelman of Honolulu, is visiting in this city.
"Sprocket" Bernhard of the Olympic Club Wheelmen will shortly leave for the Yosemite valley, where he has accepted a position for the season. Last year Bernhard was the star century rider of the Coast.

==== The Bicycle. ====
The riders entered for the road race to take place on the 25th instant are taking advantage of the moonlight nights for training in the Park.
Those people who hire machines to ride in the Park, "promateurs" as they have been called, are allowed many privileges that responsible riders are not. This surely is not right as they usually are not good riders.
Welch and Mohrig went to Stockton yesterday to pay a fraternal visit to the L. A. W. members living there.
The Bay City Wheelmen's team for the road race will consist of Elwell Adcock and Browning The Sacramento team will consist of Brenner, Tolle and Cook. It is expected that San Jose, San Mateo and other clubs will be represented. The Oakland Ramblers (reorganized) will have charge of the race and will offer three prizes.
San Jose claims the tallest rider in the State: he rides a 58-inch machine with high saddle and long cranks, and even then finds it somewhat small for him.
The Bay City Wheelmen were well represented at Haywards yesterday.
The Chief Consul, California Division, L. A. W. is preparing a census of all the wheelmen in the State, and asks the aid of L. A. W. members. Only men over eighteen years of age who own and ride their wheels are wanted.
Rowe made one mile at Springfield on the 92d of October in 2:29 4-5, with Hendie, Woodside and Crocker as pacemakers; with the same pacemakers on the following day he rode 22 miles 150 yards in one hour, being an average of 2:44 for each mile.
W. H. Sheen of Boston has ridden 6,500 miles since April 1st.
F. F. Ives of Meriden, Conn., has challenged S. G. Whittaker for a race over the road on which the latter made 300 miles in 24 hours, the race to be of 50 miles or a 24 hours run.
Eastern papers speak of professional racing in this city; there has not been such a race since Rollinson was here last year.
The bicycle record of Stillman C. Whitaker of Indianapolis has been beaten by Alfred W. McCurdy of Lynn, who finished his twenty-four hours ride at Waltham on the 7th instant, making a clear total of 305 miles in two minutes and fifteen seconds less than twenty-four hours. The total time of actual wheeling was twenty-two hours and thirty seconds, and the average rate of speed almost fourteen miles an hour. Besides breaking the 20, 25, 40 and 100 mile record, he beat the 150-mile record by four minutes and twenty seconds and Hollingsworth's 200-mile record by thirty-eight minutes and thirty seconds, thus smashing records all along the line. It is also said that the course traveled is about half a mile over fifty miles, and if measured and proved to be so, more miles must be added to his score. McCurdy used a 48-inch light roadster. Alfred McCurdy is 21 years old and is five feet ten and a half inches tall. He weighs about 160 pounds, and is a Lynn shoemaker.
Hendie and Rowe are now professionals - if they were not before.

The Bay City Wheelmen received six applications for membership at the last meeting.
It is the intention of the club to give another of its pleasant smokers within the next two weeks, to which the local riders will be invited.
A number of the members rode to Taylorville yesterday, while others went to Livermore.
Meeker and James, the captain and lieutenant, respectively, of the Bay City Wheelmen, deserve much credit for the condition in which they brought the members home from the century run. It was greatly due to the schedule, to arrange which they were compelled to ride to San Jose and back three times, that such a good showing was made.
The run was started twenty minutes late, but this time was made up before Redwood City was reached.
The total time consumed on the Louis Ramblers' run was thirteen hours and thirty-four minutes; of the Bay City Wheelmen, thirteen hours and twenty-one minutes. The resting time for the Ramblers was two hours and twenty minutes; the Bay City Wheelmen's rest was about three hours, making a total riding time for the Ramblers of eleven hours and thirty-four minutes, and for the Bay City Wheelmen ten hours and twenty-one minutes. All the Bay City wheelmen finished excepting two, whose wheels broke, and a number of the strong road riders did not start. This is the first successful century run ever held on this coast. The riders wish to thank the San Jose club, Bailey, Cole, Hall, Mangrim, Reed, Johnson, Thornton and McIntosh for the kindness shown them and hope to return the compliment some time.
Word has been received from Chief Consul Welch. He expected to reach Los Angeles today and would start for home about Friday. He rode seventy-two miles last Monday and averaged about fifty miles every day.
The Bay City Wheelmen wish to dispute, in a friendly manner, with the St. Louis Ramblers their claim that no other club in the country could turn out so many men for a century run as they could. The score is now even, 14 to 14.
A glance at the table below, credited to the New York Sunday Mercury, will apprise the reader how the different athletic records compare with that of the bicycle at distances. Above 100 miles some great feats of endurance and time have taken place. A. A. McCurdy, on the Star bicycle, holds all road records from 150 to 305 miles, which he has traveled in twenty-four hours. W. A. Rowe, on a Columbia, covered over twenty-two miles in an hour's run at Springfield, last fall, and John S. Prince has traveled 767 9-10 miles in forty-eight hours on an indoor track, riding an "American Champion” wheel.

The Bay City Wheelmen intend to incorporate. Elwell is an expert billiard player. Mrs. E. Mohrig is the first California lady to join the L. A. W.
The Oakland riders are arranging a 25-mile road race to take place in the near future.
A great deal of curiosity has been excited by the new uniform of the Bay City Wheelmen; it will be worn for the first time at the bicycle hop tomorrow evening.
Donnelly, Knapp and Wood, of San Mateo, were riding the tandem through the Park Sunday.
It is strange that some of the eating houses in the vicinity of the Park do not make it an object for the numerous riders to patronize them. At present it is impossible to procure a good dinner from any of them.
"Wheeling" is willing to back Furnival against Rowe, it having been claimed that Rowe is the best rider in the world to-day, either professional or amateur.
Elwell expects his new 56-inch machine this week.
In a trial against time on the Springfield track. W. A. Rowe rode 21 miles in 58 minutes 19 2-5 seconds, and made 22 miles, less 610 yards, in the hour. In another trial he rode 5 miles in 13:27 2-5.
F. F. Ives [J. F. Ives?] rode 100 miles in 6 hours 3 minutes 45 3-5 seconds.

C. A. Biederman will ride a racer this season.
Captain Meeker will ride a 50-inch. He says he will not have so far to fall as formerly.
Elwell and Fahrbach have commenced training for the May races.
The Bay City Wheelmen will have a club run to Redwood City and return on April 3d, and on the 10th they will have their 100-mile run about which there has been so much talk.
The Bay City Wheelmen have procured a large store on Van Ness avenue, and are fitting it up as a clubroom. There will be a gymnasium, baths, wheelroom, parlor and all the necessities of a first-class clubhouse. This change has been rendered necessary by the large increase in membership the club has had during the year past.
It is said that G. P. Mills, who holds all the long-distance records, will compete in the 100-mile race that is to take place at St. Louis during the S. A. W. meet in May. All the great road-riders of this country will be in it.
Mssrs. Patrick, Houseworth and Austin of the San Francisco Bicycle Club, accompanied by George Adams made the trip from San Rafael to Petaluma yesterday. They report the road in good condition and the weather quite warm.
The roads in the different directions are in better condition than they have been for couple of years, and it is surprising that more wheelmen are not taking advantage of them instead of using the park. Now is the time of the year to ride in the country, before the warm weather comes on and the roads begin to get cut up and dusty by heavy teaming.
Ben Patrick intends starting for a tour to San Luis Obispo about April 10th, through the Santa Clara and Salinas valleys. He intends to be gone about a week, returning by steamer.
N. A. Givovich, a member of the San Francisco Club, left for his home in Austria last Tuesday, to be gone two years. It is his intention to organize an Austrian Division of the League of American Wheelmen.
The San Francisco Bicycle Club will hold a run to Haywards next Sunday.
At the league meet to be held at Santa Cruz July 4th, it is said there will be a bicycle camp.

The Bicycle - The San Francisco Examiner, 29 Nov 1886

==== The Bicycle. ====
The road race was won as expected by F. D. Elwell in 1:37 2-5 with L. R. Larzalere second in 1:37 4-5, and C. E. Adcock third. The first two laps were mostly ridden at an easy pace, but the pace improved at the beginning of the third lap and the last mile must have been ridden very near the three-minute mark; it was certainly the fastest mile ever ridden on the road in this state.
Since the race a number of people have been heard to ask, “Who is Adcock?" C. E. Adcock is a modest unassuming young man who has been known as a good road rider by his fellow club members for some time, but he proved much better than was expected, finishing 22 seconds behind two of the best riders in the State. He was the freshest man in.
A. S. Ireland of the Oakland team, who finished fourth in the road race, deserves credit for his plucky riding, he was the smallest rider in the race, his wheel being a 51-inch.
The Bay City Wheelmen will probably have a clubhouse in the early part of next year, as the members are working hard toward that end.
About 108 riders passed a point on the road leading to San Leandro, on the day of the race. but as all the racing men took the train that number does not represent all the wheelmen who were in San Leandro on that day.
F. D. Elwell is particularly proud of the basket of flowers he received marked "From the ladies to the lucky young man."

Donnelly, Knapp and Wood of San Mateo were among the guests of the Bay City Wheelmen on their run to Haywards one week ago.
Thomas Stevens has abandoned the idea of riding through China, so he will be here about the end of the year, earlier than he expected. The company whose wheel he is advertising have arranged to give him a big reception on his arrival here.
The California division L. A. W. had about ten members at this time last year; it now has over two hundred, and is still increasing.
R. G. Bailey has been appointed L. A. W. Consul for San Jose.
The race::half-mile State championship will be run off at Los Angeles on the 25th instant.
E. Mohrig, accompanied by his wife, intended to leave here Saturday on his tandem for San Jose. They were to visit the various points of interest in the city of long-legged riders and were to return on Tuesday, but the rain interfered and they did not go.
It is quite possible that Cook, the ex-champion, will race again next year. From the way he is riding now he seems to have lost none of his old-time speed.
The preparations for race:: 25-mile State Championship have been completed and the race cannot but prove one of the greatest ever run on this Coast. Barring accidents F. D. Elwell should be the winner, and will probably ride the distance in less time than one hour and forty minutes. The start will be made seven-eighths of a mile from San Leandro, so that three times around the triangle will give the required distance and finish at San Leandro.
The latest convert to tricycling is J. Cairn Simpson, editor of the Breeder and Sportsman. There is more joy in heaven over one sinner (trotting horse man) that repenteth than the etc., etc., which need no repentance. [Luke 15:7]
The names of W. W. Haralson of Oakland and S. F. Booth Jr. of San Francisco have been sent to President Beckwith of the L. A. W. for appointment as the two additional representatives to which California is now entitled.

Robert A. Smyth was at one time a member of the Bay City Wheelmen, and was quite successful as a racing man on a high wheel. Since the safety bicycle has come into use he has given up racing and only rides for pleasure. He is one of the best posted cyclists in America, as he has a memory for things cycling, and especially racing matters. Mr. Smyth, besides representing the national racing board of the League of American Wheelmen, is Chairman of the racing board of the North California Division of the League of American Wheelmen. For a number of years he has been the active correspondent of The Wheel, which is one of the best known wheel papers, so that Mr. Smyth is a busy man, for he has enough for one man to do in his mercantile work.

It is rumored that Fred Russ Cook will take to the track again. It was hoped he would go in the twenty-five-mile race Thanksgiving Day. The Pacific coast wheelmen are anxious to see some of the western records lowered. He is just the man to do it. 
The Bay City Wheelmen had a very successful club run last Sunday to Haywards. They left this city on the 9:30 boat with some thirty-nine men in line. After a short ride around Oakland they started for Haywards, where they arrived shortly after 12 o'clock. After partaking of a splendid dinner which awaited them they lounged around until about 2 o'clock, when the start was made for home. The 5 o'clock boat was easily made and all returned thoroughly satisfied with the days enjoyment. The new uniforms were the feature of the day, and very fine appearance was made by the club, causing much admiration as they passed through Oakland.
On Thanksgiving Day a twenty-five-mile road race pill be held under the auspices of the Oakland Ramblers, on the triangle running from San Leandro to San Lorenzo, and midway on the Haywards road. The following teams have entered: Bay City Wheelmen - Elwell, Adcock and Booth; Oakland Ramblers - Ireland, Harolson and Rosborough; San Mateo Wheelmen - Donnelly, Knapp and Reed, San Francisco Bicycle Club - Larzelere, Griffin and Letcher; Capital City Wheelmen - Cook, Breuner and Toll of Sacramento. As many well-known racing men have entered this contest, a very exciting race is expected. The Garden City Wheelmen of San Jose decline to enter a team, as they say the Bay City flyers are too much for them.
The six-months' cyclometer race of the Bay City Wheelmen ended November 1st. Percy Haslett won on a record of 3000 miles.
J. A. Breuner and B. W. Flye of the Capital City Wheelmen of Sacramento have been the guests of the Bay Citys for the past few days.
The San Francisco Bicycle Club has been very busily engaged fitting up clubrooms at 1428 Market street during the past week. Two of the rooms are partly furnished; but the quarters will not be really fit for use till the latter part of this week, when the third room will be finished. The club will then be ready to receive its friends with its well-known and old-time cordiality.
From letters received by the Secretary of the San Francisco Bicycle Club, it is definitely stated that Thomas Stevens, the rider who has encircled the world on a bicycle, will reach San Francisco on or about Christmas. The arrival of Mr. Stevens will probably be one of great moment and be a chance for wheelinen to see and know the world-famed rider. The San Francisco Bicycle Club has been delegated by his Eastern friends to receive him on his arrival, and in accordance with these wishes a committee of three members of the club has been appointed to properly receive and entertain him.
