EISENTRAUT WILL GO FOR RECORD NEXT SUNDAY - San Jose Mercury-news, 26 July 1914

== EISENTRAUT WILL GO FOR RECORD NEXT SUNDAY ==
=== Berryessa Announces He Will Ride Again If Eisentraut Succeeds. ===
==== Here Are the Previous Marks ====
HERE are the previous records for the ride to Gilroy from the first one set by Ed Wastie in 1902 until Berryessa made his record-breaking performance in 1907:
Ed Wastie 	1902	1 hr. 8 min.
Pete Castro 	1907	1 hr. 6 min.
Plin Maggini 	1907	1 hr. 1 min.
John Berryessa	1907	1 hr. flat.
THE attempt which "Dutch" Eisentraut will make to lower the bicycle record from San Jose to Gilroy, which was to have taken place today, has been postponed until next Sunday, owing to the fact that the road is badly broken up in places through the construction of the state highway. It is understood that the road will be in readiness for the test by next Sunday.
Interest in bicycling has taken a decided revival in local circles since the announcement that Elsentraut would go after the record of one hour flat which is held by John Berryessa, and a number of surprising features have developed. Most important among these is the announcement made by Berryessa yesterday that in case Eisentraut sets a new mark next Sunday he will start training immediately in an effort to regain his lost laurels.
A number of other riders have expressed a desire to try for the record and the run to Gilroy promises to furnish some good sport for the future.
That Eisentraut will succeed in making a new record is the opinion of old wheelmen who have seen him ride. He is not only a powerful pedal pusher, but he will have everything in his favor when Berryessa made his record the county highway consisted of crushed rock and was anything but smooth. The recently constructed concrete state highway provides a surface as smooth as any paved street. He will be paced by a motorcycle, as were his predecessors, but the motor will carry a shield to break the wind.
At any rate, Eisentraut will be forced to the limit if he wishes to lower Berryessa's time. The distance from San Fernando and Second streets in this city to the firehouse in Gilroy is exactly 31 miles, and to make this in an hour one must make better than a mile in two minutes. This is wonderfully fast riding, as it is at the rate of about 30 miles an hour.
The indications are that a large crowd of motorists will see Eisentraut make the test next Sunday.
[As far as I can tell, the road in 1914 from San Jose to Gilroy was what's now highway 101. According to A Brief History of Gilroy, "In 1906, a large crowd celebrated the opening of Gilroy’s new City Hall at Sixth and Monterey Streets; it housed Gilroy’s first public library, a jail, the courtroom and judge’s chambers, and the city’s early police and fire departments." Here is what a bicycle route from the two points above would look like, today. - MF]

East San Jose course

This took some figuring, but I believe this is the East San Jose course:
Various markers in Alum Rock Park represent something like "Quincey's motor-house:
* https://historicalmarkerproject.com/markers/HM17BX_electrification_San-Jose-CA.html
* https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=63779
Starting at an intersection of Penitencia Creek Road and Alum Rock Ave, which aligns roughly with the historical markers for Quincey's rail line electrification site, to East Santa Clara Street & North 24th Street - the original McLaughlin avenue - gets us 5.0 miles.
Thanks to folks on mastodon for the help, especially @lemay@mastodon.social and @14mission@sfba.social. - MF
SAN JOSE, August 6. - The sixth of the series of five-mile road races under the auspices of the San Jose Road Club was held this morning on the East San Jose course, and Otto Ziegler carried off first honors, winning the race and also lowering the five-mile coast record. A large crowd was present, and the California Bicycle Club of San Francisco was well represented. There were also a number of other visiting wheelmen.
Betting was lively, Osen, Smith and Ziegler being the favorites. The scratch men were Ziegler, J. C. Smith and Oscar Osen. A. M. Hobson and C. J. Belloli were given thirty seconds handicap and J. T. Bailey and C. J. Sullivan forty seconds each. The starting point was Quincey's motor-house, and the handicap men kept their lead till McLaughlin avenue was reached. There Sullivan was first, Bailey second, Belloli third and Hobson fourth. The scratch men came next, with Ziegler first and Osen and Smith following. On the King road the three scratch men passed the handicaps, and Osen led the race when the turn into Alum Rock avenue was made on the homestretch. Ziegler was second. Then the exciting race began. When about 400 yards from the finish Ziegler made a remarkable spurt, and began to crowd up until he took the lead. He crossed the finish mark first, making the run in 14m. 42 1.5s., amid wild cheering; J. C. Smith second, 14m. 45s.; Oscar Osen third, 14m. 45 2-5s., and Sullivan fourth, 15m. 11s. All of these broke the coast record of 15m. 48 1-5s., made by J. C. Smith of this city, who was in this morning's race.

Edward C. Bald of the Buffalo Press Cycling Club racing team began racing in the fall of 1891, when he won the novice race in the arsenal there. A little later he took part in and won the twenty-mile road race of the Roamers, a bicycle club that was composed of him and a score of schoolmates. In 1892 Bald joined the Press Cycling Club and was sent through the New York State Circuit by that club under the care of Joseph Young, who is now one of the same club's flyers. Bald did not have much success on the circuit, but be learned a lot about track racing. At Buffalo, though, he won the city championship.
In 1893 Bald fared better and began in June to win firsts. At Cleveland, June 20th, he won a number of events, also at Little valley, Lockport, other Western New York tournaments and at Detroit.
After the Tonawanda-Buffalo tournament of July 4th Bald went back to his father's butcher shop until the Troy meet of August 25th when Asa Windle, the prince of trainers, took charge of him and few days later, September 4th and 6th, he appeared on the Hartford track, beating Willie Windle, the American champion, and all the other cracks.
The half-mile scratch race at Springfield was won by Eddie Bald in the world's record time of one minute and three seconds. Those two days, the 13th and 14th, added many prizes to the Buffalo boy's collection, and on the 19th at Waltham, near by, he broke the track record for a mile. From Waltham he want on to Baltimore and Scranton, Pa., winning almost everything in which he started. At Reading, Pa., he won the mile open, beating Sanger, Taylor, Tyler and all the fast men in the country except Zimmerman, who did not compete. Bald also secured the quarter mile and half from the field.
Bald captured 63 prizes on the fall circuit last year, divided as follows: Thirty-three first prizes, 18 seconds and 12 thirds. His prizes included 18 diamonds, 8 gold watches, 8 bicycles, silverware, furniture and a lot of other things.
This speedy press cycler made arrangements last winter to come out here and get in shape to train in California, but on learning from the writer that the Midwinter Fair track was not to be finished till this month he went to Florida instead. A few weeks ago he decided with his trainer, Asa Windle, who is an old racing man, to come here for the Midwinter races. But in common with the other fast Eastern men this plan was given up until definite knowledge could be received from the Fair people, and as that was not received he is now at Savannah, training there.

Bay City Wheelmen
These honored bicyclists were Herman C. Eggers, who rode a wheel on which he won medals in 1878, and Herman wore the medals to prove it; Dr. Thomas L. Hill, an old Bay City Wheelmen stand-by, and Robert Russ, a pioneer of the Olympic Club Wheelmen. Behind them came others, old but on more modern wheels. Judge Frank H. Kerrigan, James W. Mullen, Wilbur Knapp, Tony Delmas, Walter Foster, Walter Fawcett, George Tantau, Emil Languetin, "Trilby" Fowler, A. D. Plughoff, Charlie Howard and others of that vintage too numerous to mention, plugged along as they did twenty years ago. Behind them came riders of all sizes, ages and mounts, ranging in age from little Frankie Carroll, son of the director general of the day, to "Pop" Hopkins, [Must be C. C. Hopkins. -MF] who wore false whiskers to hide the wrinkles in his face. Jack Leavitt, accompanied by Mrs. Leavitt and a troupe of little Leavitts, rode side by side and brought out a big burst of applause when the procession passed in front of the grandstand in the stadium. A swarm of present day clubmen formed the rear guard.
...
There was a time when a contest in which Tantau, Walter Fawcett, Emil Languetin and Percy Mott started would have been a race. But yesterday they displayed little of their old-time speed and wind in the 30 to 40 year old class. Orlando Stevens started in the 40 to 50 class and finished last, even Jack Cunningham leading him to the wire by a big margin. This class produced a popular winner in "Bob" Terrill, who rode with all his old-time grace, and won handily, with Mike Lynn and "Trilby" Fowler trailing him home.

Mrs. Edwin Mohrig has the honor of being the first lady bicyclist on the coast. With very little practice she has mastered the mount and dismount, and is now able to handle the machine very gracefully and quite skillfully. It is to be hoped that other ladies will follow her example and discard the heavy tricycle for the lighter and much more comfortable machine.

AMONG THE WHEELMEN - Track to Be Used in the Tournament. - A Matter of Interest to Racers. - San Francisco Chronicle, 19 Jan 1895
R. M. Welch of the Racing Board will undoubtedly suspend F. C. Heineman and E. C. Barley from the L. A. W. for one year for racing against each other last Sunday when he had expressly advised them not to do so. Several of the papers have taken this up as though it was a matter of great concern. Had the riders in question been crackerjacks it might have been a loss to the sport; but they are only ordinary class A handicap riders at best, with minor reputations for speed. It is well that the racing board can use them as "terrible examples to the racer who dares disobey its mandates. Chairman Welch has proved himself by long odds the most efficient representative of the Racing Board we have ever had out here, and his decisions are much admired for their impartiality and fairness.

Brother of DeWitt C. Van Court

----
The early history of the club is as interesting as its later development into the fore most athletic organization in Alameda county. Way back in the fall of 1881 a handful of young men living in the vicinity of Sixth and Alice streets with nothing to occupy their time after school rigged up a swinging trapeze in an oak tree in De Witt Van Court's back yard, and this broomhandle trapeze, together with an ancient pair of boxing gloves, were the only apparatus the club owned.
The members of the club at that time were: DeWitt C. Van Court, Eugene Van Court, O. C. Musser, George Faulkner and J. M. Polk, all being neighbors and living within a few blocks of the Van Court residence. The early meetings of the club were held in the Van Court back yard whenever the rain permitted. In course of time the boys obtained permission from Mrs. Dr. Lafevre [Lefevre] to use the loft of a barn close by. The roof of this barn was so low that but one member could exercise at a time, and while he was busy swinging clubs or two others were boxing the rest of the club sat down and did their best to keep out of the way. From this early stage the club progressed by steady growth until it was able to rent an old China washhouse at the corner of Eighth and Webster streets. Here the membership was increased by the admission of Tim Scanlon, Ed Merwin, Rufus Hepburn, Ross Hardy and John F. Conners. Those, with the original members, afterwards became charter members when the Acme Athletic Club was formed.
...
The Acme Bicycle Club has done its part to keep up the record of the club. The club has over one hundred members, and has the following officers: De Witt C. Vancourt, Captain; George F. Neece, First Lieutenant; Theodore Schleuter, Second Lieutenant; O. L. Pickard, Bugler.

D. Hamlin all conjure memories of those who not only made amateur athletics what they were but the club what it was.
