ALEXANDER, LEFT HALF BACK. W. A J. Park J. Alexander, left half back of the Washington and Jefferson college football team.

Is. excepting Quarter Back John Aiken, the youngest and lightest member of the team. He In 18 years old and weighs U3 pounds. He la a native of Bridgeport, where he was born on April 12, 1877, and where he has since resided, being the only inn of William Alexander and the late Mrs. Sarah J.

Park) Alexander. He whs graduated from the Bridgeport high school with the class of '6, winning first honors over 17 other boys and girls. He became a freshman at Washington and Jefferson In the fall of that year, am Is now a Junior. All the football that he knows, like many other members of the team, was received on the college park gridiron. He was substitute tackle for Harry I)uffy In '96, and a sub tackle and half back last season.

This year he was placed at left half, and his end runs and line Plunges have been prominent features of W. J. 'a sains. He Is known as a swift runner, and this has added greatly to his chances for a position on the team. He has been a member of the college track and field team for two years, and at the Interchips meet last spring he made the highest number of points, J.

that was scored byta single contestant. He won the 220-yard, dash and broad Jump, was second in the 100-yard third In the 220-yard hurdles, shot put and high Jump, and fourth the 120-yard hurdle and hammer throw. He has twice represented his class on the executive committee of the college athletic association, the committee being the body which has control of athletics as far as students are concerned. He is a member of the Beta Theta PI Greek letter fraternity. He Is 5 feet 11 Inches tall.

He has the reputation of being one of the most studious young men In and is fitting himself fbr the Btudy of law. Biddy Bishops Goaaip From th Coast McCloskey'a Chance. Biddy Bishop, who Is in San Francisco, writes to the Press: "The big championship contest between Geo. (Kid) Lavtgne nd Tom Treacy, of Australia, promises to be one of tne grandest glove 1ml ties ever seen on the coast. The men are working hard at their respective training quarters, and already In good condition.

The National club will handle the contest and the date has been changed from November 21 to November SS. Lavlgne la giving Treacy a bit of weight, the articles calling fur the men to weign in at the ring aide at 1 pounds. "The men are to bo for 0 per cent, of the cross receipts, the winner taking per cent. and the loser 20. The National club Is trying to match Joe (Kid) O'Brien, of Pittsburg, and Jimmy Whalen, of Tacoma, to box.

a prelim inary to the Lavlgne-Treacy contest, and think the match will be arranged In a day or two. This boy O'Brien la an awful willing lit tie fellow and as game aa a lighting rooster. and I like him for that reason. He weighs about 13 pounds, and makes an awful Interest Ing tight. It he and Whalen sign, they will box at 138 pounds, winner take all.

Whalen ia no sucker, by any means. He has made good fights with such men as Dal Hawkins, George Urevn, Jack Green and others. Urten cently defeated Charley Rochette In nine rounds, and the latter was at one time the beet lightweight on the coast. A surprisingly small sum of money will change hands on the Corbett-fharkey contest In this part of the country. Judging from the apathy displayed by bettors, who represent many sorts and conditions of men.

George Kerwln. the Chicago crack light weight, and Eddie Connelly, of Pt. Johns, N. were signed In New York to meet tn 20-round contest at the opening boxing show of the commercial Athletlo club, of St. Louis, which take place on November 2t.

Owen Zlegler was at first secured to box Kerwln. but as he could nut get in shape In time the club wired their representatives In New York to secure some good boxer for Kerwln. As Connelly waa the best lightweight that could be substituted for Zlegler, he was quickly signed. They are to meet at 138 pounds for a good guarantee. Ttie preliminary bout will be a is-round go between Eddie santry, of Chi cago.

and Australian Billy Murphy, at 1-5 pounoa. Joe Hopkins, of New York, and Elwood Mc-Cloekey, of Philadelphia, will likely be matched tn a 20-round contest at 126 pounds about December 12. before the American Sporting club, of Scranton. If MeCloskey signs these articles he will hardly come here. Arrangements have been made to reproduce the Corbett-Sharkey fight at the Avenue theater next Tuesday night.

Tickets are now on aale. Bulletins of the Corbett-Sharkey fight will be read from the stage at the Bijou theater Tuesday night. A special from Youngstown says: "The Youngstown Athletic club has not selected a matchmaker, but will do. so the coming week. The club has offered a purse of $00 for a contest between James (Squirrel) Flnnerty now at Rochester, N.

and Lavark, and Flnnerty has accepted. He will be back- heavily here. The club will have Its quarters ready for opening In two weeks, and rules will be enforced to secure clean athletic sports. The McClelland match Is off." REMARKABLE SHOOTING. Ittel, of the Pittsburg Hifle Clnb, Made a New Itecord.

The regular weekly practice ahoot of the Pittsburg Rifle club took place on the 200-yard Wllklnsburg range last Thursday. Again has the Pittsburg Rifle club succeeded In accomplishing something phenomenal. On this occasion Mr. Ittel came forward with the finest score ever made in ten consecutive shots on the German ring target at 200 yards, off-hand shooting. He made a score of 238.

which exceeds the world's record on the German ring target by one point. The record has been held by Wm. Hayes, of Newark. N. with a score of 2,17, this being considered phenomenal shooting.

It will be remembered that Dr. Taylor succeeded In obtaining the world's record for the same dlstnnoe on the standard American target last winter, making 97 out of a possible 100, which 'he still holds. It is extremely fortunate that Mr. Ittel should obtain the highest honor on he German ring target. Mr.

Hoffman, of the same club, still holds the world's record for muzzle rest shooting, without telescope, using lubricated bullets, his score last fall being 115 out of a possible 120, which will probably stand for years. It Is expected that Mr. Ittel and Dr. Taylor's scores will hardly ever be excelled. It Is thus seen that the local club now holds three world's records, representing the highest scores ever made on the targets under the conditions named, which are those usually adopted by most all rifle clubs In the country.

The boys will not stop where they are, but will continue to Increase their records, although to succeed requires almost a phenomenal performance. The following are th scores: Total. Av'ge.

Philadelphia, Nov. 19. Major Taylor to-day finished hla record work by paying off his team, packing the big machines and sending his 17 pacemakers to their various homes. Rain for three days this week, ever since Taylor cut the mile to 1:31 4-5 In fact, has prevented further work. He Is not at all alarmed that he will lose the records, as It has turned out that the report which emanated from Atlanta that MclJuffee would go for records was false.

Taylor does not believe that the marks he has set are unbreakable by other riders, for he knows that under good weather conditions and not In wintry weather, such as he has had, they may be broken without a doubt. He himself lowered his quarter, third, half and kilometer marks in mile trials again and again. He proposes to secure an electrlo cycle In the spring, that he may discover hla own realized. Never- having been shaken by his present pacing outfit, he Is determined to get something with more chance to shake him. Taylor has decided to go to France next season, as in that country no color line la drawn, as la done here.

He says that he will return In time for th International championships at Montreal, even though he has to return to France after that. Taylor welcomed the rain, owing to the strain which he had placed upon himself In his last mile ride. It left him In such condition that for a day he found It Impossible to ride un assisted from his chair and liberal massage only saved him from serious trouble. HEARING POSTPONED.

W. Officials Approve the Six- Day Race Ordinance. New York, Nov. 19. There was public hear ing of the proposed ordinance to prohibit six-day continuous bicycle racing before the law committee of the board of aldermen In the aldermanlo chambers this afternoon.

Arrayed In favor of the bill was the combined eloquence of Senior Consul Rosenfeld, of the New York ronsulute; Mllo M. Heldlng, the nwlv- elected chief consul of the New York division 1., A. Josph umman. secretary of the Associated Cycling clubs of New York, and W. G.

Oppenhelm. On motion of Alderman Velton. It was agreed by the committee to convene again on Monday, in order to listen to the arguments of those who are not in favor of the ordinance under discussion. WHIST CHAMPIONSHIP. Albany Forfeited in the Second Honnd for the Trophy.

Albany. N. Nov. II. The second round of the contest for the Albany whist trophy waa not played laat night, the Albany club forfeiting the match to the Albany Chess and Whist club.

The second round for the ftlca trophy it-suited in favor of the pairs from the East Bide club, of Troy, the Ionic being second. The match for open pairs last night was wn by Mann and Hall, nf Troy, north and and Batrblder and Waldman. east and west.

The leaders at the end of third round are Ionic and Fast Aide, of Troy. The match for pairs played this afternoon, waa won by Knickerbocker and BhurU, of Syracuse, STATE COLLEGE SrHPRISED THE WASHINGTON COISTT TEAM. THE BACK PLAY EFFECTIVE. Woodruff's Fainons Formation Scored a Victory Over the Princeton Style A Fumble Wna Factor la the Game Clever Work by Aiken nnd Mathews. Washington, Nov.

19. (Special) Washington Jefferson defeated! Is what is ringing in the ears Tit local cranks to-night. State college defeated the Washington collegians this afternoon by a score of 11 to 6. The ardent rooters for the team can scarcely believe that their favorites have been beaten. It is such a stunning blow to W.

J. enthusiasm that it can hardly be realized. The guards' back of the visitors was what won the daytor them. The Washington Jefferson line which held back Roller and Marsh, of P. A.

C. could not withstand the onslaughts of Randolph and Sertoli. It was with crushing force that the State college guards were hurled against the local line. There were many fumbles on either side that added to the uncertainty of the game, but only once did a fumble seem to have any material effect in the score, and that was shortly after the kickoff at the start, when Mathews dropped the pigskin on W. 2U-yurd Una, when it was passed to him for a gain.

A State college half was there to get the oval, and btates touchdown followed at once. This misplay on the part of W. J. aided State in making her first touchdown so quickly four minutes. The game was particularly free from slugging, though the play was hard and rough.

A few hard knocks were given and taken, but the offlclals, on whose rulings no kicks were made, were not com-pelled to caution the players very often to avoid unnecessary rough playing. No one had to quit except Hayes, who was hurt in a tackle. There were two men for W. Collins and Mathews-who did fine work In advancing the ball. Outside of the guards, Hayes did the best ground-gaining for Tlme after time he would run WeLtys end for many yards.

W. ends did not come up to expectations. On the other hand, the State halveB and ends would break up the W. J. interference and down the runner for a loss.

This was most noticeable in the second half, when J. had forced the ball to State's 10-yard line, and then Hayes and Blair pushed Collins back so far W. J. could not make her required five yards. Had the State men not broken up the interference when Collins carried the ball that one time another touchdown might huve gone to the credit of the locals.

One pleasing feature to the fans was the playing of Aiken at quarter. He passed the ball accurately und quickly and he was liberally applauded for his tackling. It was he who stopped the State college ends several times ufu-r they had cleared the W. lino. Cure's only trial for goal from fVdd was blocked.

State was lucky from the start. Capt. Murray won the toss which entitled him to chose the wen goal, a strong wind blowing against W. kickoff. Thompson sent the ball spinning for Ho yards to big Randolph, who ran it back to State's line Hack went Randolph and Scholl, and then with an awful rush thoy had torn W.

line wide open and only Matthews stood between Scholl and a touchdown. The Texan was equal to the occasion and brought down his man. W. J. rooters were surprised at the quickness of State's playing.

In another Instant Hays had added two yards Scholl two more. Hayes then circled 's right end for 12 yards, Mathews tackling him so hard thnt he fell out of bounds and fumbled, a W. J. man securing the pyal. On the first play the ball was fumbled, Hayes gettings It for State.

Maxwell ran W. left end for eight yards nnd the guards hack went four ItwaJ' hard Pla'lng.

Field, fair condition. Weather, threatening. New York, Nov. 19. There was a decided tendency on the part of sports today to got their money down on the result of the coming struggle between Corbett and Sharkey.

The sudden spurt In the betting; Is probably due to the fact that good reports are coming from the training quarters of each man. Bharkey, whose quarters are at Bay Ridge, will arrive Tuesday morning. Tom O'Rourke says the ex-sailor will enter the ring at 174 pounds. According to Charley "White, who Is Corbett's chief mentor, Jim will face his rival In the neighborhood of 1S1 pounds. Tho purse of for which the men aro to buttle was to-day placed In the hands of Frank Farrell, tho horseman, who has boon selected as stakeholder.

The winner will receive $15,000 and the remainder, will go to the loser, in the betting to-day Corbett led as favorite at 100 to SO. Tom Corbett, Jim's brother, has arrived here from San Fran-cIhoo. Tom says he brought with him a commlH.slon of from his brother, Marry, to back the former champion. John Consldlne, brother to George Con- slrtlne, Corbett's manager, reached Now York to-day from Detroit. Consldlne brought with to back the Call-fornlan.

At the hotels and sporting resorts up town there Is an absence of that excite- 1 ment so often attendant on all Important llatlt! events. No one seems to be able to explain the causo of the lack of Interest, although sports from all over tho country are arriving most every day see tho mill. Tho fact that both men are careful fighters and that the. meeting may end In a draw may have something to do with It. Sharkey and Corbett, however, say that It will he a great buttle, devoid of objectionable features.

Hilly Edwards Is probably the busiest man In town holding wagers. He says that Bharkey has the call with the western sports, who think that the ex-sallor will win In a canter. Un to date Blllv NEITHER SIDE COILD SCORE. THE CONTEST WAS OXE OP THE BEST OF THE SEASON. SAM BOYLE WAS ABSENT.

Dooier Played the Star Game of the Day Thomas, the Latest Addition, Made Good Impression Bird, Barclay and Donahoe Did Brilliant Work. In spite mud and slime the game at F. A. C. park yesterday between the P.

A. C. and Greensburg teams was one of the best football contests ever witnessed on a local gridiron. It was a clean, scientific game from beginning to end, with no slugging, dirty Work or tiresome squabbles on either There was verv little fumbling on Neither siae, which Is remarkable when lit la taken into consideration that the funeia was in places a mm muu. (la close and exciting contest it was cer tainly all tnat tne most exacung vnw of the game oould ask to see.

WoiiWr Mh was able to score, but at the kick-off in the second half Van Dooier with good interference went through the entire team wun excepuuu ul onu, nu 4t innUprl like a touchdown. Unfortunate ly Bird nailed him on the 30-yard line after his run of 75 It was the sensational run of the game and set the rooters wnd. play of both sides was sharp and fast, and honors were evenly divided. As by several of the spectators. It was a shame such a splendid game Rhnuld he wasted on so small a crowd, 'I'Thn Attendance was unprecwlently slim, but the article or root nail put up oy me red and white should certainly have the effect of bringing out-a swell attendance on Thanksgiving.

That the P. A. C. team is capable of football of the first order was nemon Ktratpil to the satisfaction of all yester day afternoon. Those who missed this game should kick themselves a few times and come out early on Thanksgiving to see what a really good team the P.

A. C. aggregation Is. That the team has been playing In the hardest kind of luck Is an Indlsputed fact, but the East Enders evidently have shaken tne noouoo wnicn has been following them, as the game vesterrinv shows. Whether it was the new mascot In the shape of a small boy caparisoned In club colors which was brought out by Joe Hey or whether Thomas, the new lacKie from Chicago, brought a big rabbit's foot with him from the city of large pedal extremities is not known, but it is certain that the hoodoo was overcome in some manner yesterday, and in conse- there is mucn rejoicing in me r.

Althoueh this is the first of any consequence that the big fnicagoan nas piayeq mis year, no mm emamaDiy wen una maoe nimsen ien all stages or tne game. Van Doozer played the star game of the day. He was in everything, made beautiful and fine gains. On one occasion Rhinehart got around P. A.

right end and was apparently- clear, when van Dooser smashed through the 'strongest kind of interference and tackled him around the knees with a grip of Iron. The two came down flat in the mud and slid WHO'S AIjIj RIGHT? tor 10 yards like a runaway toboggan. Cartwright, in the absence of Boyle, was captain, and handled his men in a manner which could not have teeen excelled by Sammy himself. Lowery put up an excellent game at halfback. Roller's punting was line and fully equal to, if not superior, to that of Bird, who did some very clever work with his feet.

Gil Christ and Hev showed a vast improve ment In their work on the ends over that they put up In the game against Duquesne on election dav. The whole team played well all through the contest. With some slight changes Greensburg lined up as they did against Duquesne last Saturday. Barclay nas a crucaei-Wk team, and no mistake. The line was a wall unainst which P.

A. C. could do little in the way of gains. Most of the gaining on. both sides was done around the ends.

Donahoe, Rhinehart, Barclay and Bird were all shining lights for the Westmorelanders. The only accident of the game which compelled a player to retire was that to Fightner in the second half. McDermott took his place. Heppenstahl officiated as referea and Dr. Wyant took charge of the umpiring.

Their work was impartial and satisfactory to both teams. The game was a see-saw up and down the field, and on no occasion was the ball dangerously close to the goal lines. The detailed account which follows tells the tale of the contest: Greensburg won the toss and took the east goal at Potter kicked off, the ball going to Donohue on the 80-yard line. Bird punted out of bounds. It was P.

A. ball on the Greensburg's 45-yard line. Van Doozer fumbled. Thomas recovered the ball; Roller hit the center for three yards. Roller kicked out of bounds and it was Greensburg's ball on Its 20-yard line.

Barclay was stopped at right tackle, with no gain. Rhinehart made five yards at right. Donohue made four more at left end. Bird flew at center for six yards. Worthlngton gained 10 vards around right end and was downed by Roller.

Barclay, on his famous jump over center, gained five yards. Rhinehart went through left tackle for five yards on a douole pass, uonomie went arouna leit end for 17 yards. Worthlngton got five yards around right end. Hassett went at Roller with no gain. McAndrews also failed.

McAndrews gained five yards. A. C. was heie given the ball for offside play. Lowrey went around right end for nlre yards.

Cartwright lost a yard and Roller made a yard at center. P. A. C. was then given 10 yards for off-side play.

Barclay gained 17 yards on a double pass. The half ended with the oval in Greensburg's possession on the P. A. 45-yard line and no score. There was no change In the line-up of either team when they came out for the second half.

Both teams were apparently In splendid trim, notwithstanding the fart that they had been playlnig the hardest kind of bail. They started In with the lr7 vs. P. A. C.

New York, Nov. 19. A certain clique In thla city la using Ita utmost endeavors to have the League of American Wheelmen relinquish the control of racing In spite of the fact that the executive committee of that organisation baa practically announced that It will report to the new assembly tn favor of the continued control as now conducted. This clique Is coin- iksci 01 tne mconung omciais or tne division and some of the local lesser lights who have for years past advocated the divorce of racing from tne league. It la composed of a mere handful of men.

but by reason of their efforts In behalf of good roads and bicycle legislation they have caught the ear of some of their constituents and have endeavored to spread tho dlscontentr Each nnd every one of these men admit that they know but very little. If anything, of racing, and some of them do not hesitate to say they had never seen a bicycle race of any kind. Their opposition to racing la inscrutable, as Is also their opposition to tne aamittanie or professionals to membership. They are consistent, that much can be said for for they have been unvarying In their course, but they know nothing of the subject, as they themselves admit, and that they should be so hitter In their opposition Is past an unuerptanamg. Hut they are and they must be fought by the friends of racing In this state who are so many and Influential.

This clique has the best of the argument in so far as this state ia concerned, on account of the official position It controls, but It has not sufficient lntluence to Bpread discontent to other stares, The latest reports from their headquarters say that the division board of ontcers at the meeting to be held in this city next mouth will pass amendments to the constitution abolishing the state racing board and all other mention of racing In the same document. An attempt waa made to Include the position of state handlcapper, hut it was found that this title Is covered by the national appointments and the state officers had nothing to do with It. The aubject will be the cause of a merry time In the division, for the frienda of racing will make a hard fight and they also know that they have the moral support of the members at large and of the utticera and members In other stutes. The New York city members however, controlled by the Incoming chief consul and will vote almost solidly against ill racing propositions. Not only will they do this, but they will attempt to carry their actions Into the national assembly for the pur pose of making It a national law.

There they will find their Waterloo, even If they are successful In the state, for it la a known fact that the, national executive committee will advocate the oontlnued-'control of racing by tne organization and there la an overwhelm ing sentiment In the same way among the particularly those from the middle atates and the west. Ii) some of the latter the dclegatea are so strong In their adherence to the racing principles they declare the league will go Into dissolution In a short time without It. As the time for the election of officers In the League of American Wheelmen draws nearer the politicians are becoming more and more active. The present Indications are that a combination has been effected between Penn sylvania, the leading division, Ohio and Massachusetts, and others are coming to their support for the ticket which the combination will name. The leaders in Ohio and Massa chusetts are respectively a handlcapper and an ex-handicapper, both men pf shrewdness Bnd capable of carrying out their plana.

The combination Is working quietly, but each day shows their work being more and more effective. It is expected that Illinois, Missouri, the southern and the western states will be In the combination, which will have to contend principally against New York, In diana and possibly Michigan. Should the combination, as outlined, be completed It will be almost Impossible to defeat it, though on the other side will be Isauo R. Potter, the hardest fighter and shrewdest political! In the league. The political altuatlon shows that the hondl- cappers will have more to say thla year than ever before, rn addition to those named above the handlcappers In Connecticut, New York, Illinois, District of Columhla and Missouri will be prominent factors, though they will not be working together.

This may seem strange since they all owe theh appointments to one source, but It Is nevertheless a fact, and shows widespread desire to uphold the racing in terests of the league first, the election of favored candidates afterward. If tho proposed six days' race Is given and the proposition Is used advisedly It will be noted for Ha lack of prominent contestants this year, it is true that Teaiiy Hale is re ported on the way across the Atlantic, fol lowed by Fredericks, Joyeux. O'llnlloran and one or two others whose fame has not spread beyond their own narrow confines, but the list Is not nearly so bright as the one of last year. This menus, if it means anything at all that the riders who generally take part In these races are beginning to realize the de pravlty of such contests and have decided to stay out. It was expected that the race would be pro hlblted this year by municipal ordinance, and there was every reason In the world to be.

lleve that such an ordinance, which was so earnestly supported by the Intelligent sports men and humanitarians of New York, would pass, but unfortunately New York, like other centers. Is accursed with a combination of old mulils known as the local consulate. This alleged consulate, after all arrangements for the presentation of tho ordinance had been made, like the mischievous and prying mon key, placed their paw into the affair and with this itamp of failure every one else drew out, and now it promises to die a natural death, as all otlier measures promoted by tills body has done in the past. The fact that the ordinance falls to pass this year does not lessen the fact that some such steps should be taken to pruveut this degrading spectacle. Every one except those financially Interested, concede this fuct, and those Interested are not unlike the ancient Jew who dealt In human llesh.

From this source nothing of an elevating nature Is to be expected, conse quently, their determination to Inflict 1 degrading spectacle upon the publlo does not come as a surprise. Concerning the possible winner of this race, If by a stretch of imagination It may be declared a race, Charlie Miller stands the best chance. He is a husky young German, well drilled In the art of withstanding every law of nature winch demands that a certain amount if rest should be taken, and altogether the most likely candidate. John LawBon, who Is under the management of the veteran, Al bert Shock, who declares that he has ridden his last six days race. Is another likely young ater.

Both these men are Americans, and to the patriotic this may be some satisfaction. Dixie HI nes. At a meeting held yesterday at the Waldorf- Astoria, an organization of the manufacturers of cycle parts was effected. Coming at the same time as the dissolution of the cycle board of trade, this Is a fact of added significance. Considered broadly, the situation nuggets that the bicycle Industry and Its allies have grown so great thut what is now in tiro- gress Is simply a natural breaking up of the trades Into specialized branches.

More than 13,000,000 of Invested capital was represented at the meeting of the parts makers. A radical and startling step was taken by the nationui twani or traoe or cycle manufacturers, Within 30 minutes majority of the stock. holders met. and, with practically no discus sion, adonit-u the following resolution: "Thut in the opinion of the stockholders of the national board of trade of cycle manu fucturers It Is desirable that such corporation should be dissolved. The meeting began at 11 o'clock In the morning, and at o'clock the members had dispersed, There Is at present in the nourd treasury.

I he annual income from membership dues is about The yearly running expenses Is in the nelghborhoor of ill, 000. Blnce the board discontinued holding cycle shows the dues have been practically the only source of revenues. Having repudiated shows which were the chief souree of Income In former years, the directors refused to resume them and dissolution was the only alternative. This Is the admitted reaHon for the action as stated by officials of the board. Other reasons are discusned in private tmolli-cially.

They relate to the imposalbllty of the board doing effective work for the benefit of the trade at large because of the conflicting interests in the organization due to Individual rivalries and trade Jealousies. '1 he Ojinioiis In the trade concerning the wladom of the action vary, but one seems to be severely pained, although a few think that the board should have harmonized and renewed Its supervision over cycle shows. The dissolution of the organization probably 'means that shows of national character will at once be renewed. It was thu edict of the board against them that prevented makers from participating In any managed by outside parties. In fact, It la reported that a representative of the New York Amusement company, of which Frank b'anger, of Madison square garden.

Is the head, left the city last night to travel through the country to Interest cycle makers In stork company scheme for "the holding of shows. KeiirdlnK the future of the makers, It is an open secret that at an early date they will organize again, this time as an association Instead of a corporation. The new association will be restricted to cycle makers exclusively. Although It will not be incorporated, it i suspected by some that It la likely to be a "close corporation." An athletic club has been organized at Plt-eelrn. Jt starts Its career with 30 members, and Is already established on a sound basis.

The club is at present holding Its meetlnits at Selbett's hall. The colors adopted by the organization are red and black. Major Taylor has again demonstrated his ability to create 4 sensation In the cycling world. His recent record breaking attempts at Philadelphia have won for him world-wide renown, has broken the most coveted record now on the books, the mile paced, flying start. For msny years America held this record It wes not unttl lest year that Great Brtta'n took the honor wy from America, but It did not remain In foreign countries very long, for American riders made another effort to break It and succeeded, Tha Eng.

i land had another chance to break It, and Stocks succeeded, only to give way to Tay-lre, the Frenchman, who succeeded In breaking the record In America with the aid of American pacemakers and pacing machines. This was to un extent, gratifying to the American lovers of cycle speed, but the fact that it was not an American tnat nnid the record, stimulated the Intense partisans to hope that It would be reclaimed by a native, and Major Taylor has gratified Uieae hopea. America now holds, througn ner own riders, the most valuable records on the books. Taylor's mile and Elkea' hour record are among the number. In competition, America holds every record up to miles, and before the close of the season, she will also hold nearly all.

If not the complete llxt, of against time records, for Kddle McDuftie, one nf the most successful record breakers in the world Is yet to have a chance to demon strate his ability to follow pace with mi indent speed to lower the existing times, and declares that before he ceases hla efforta he will posseas the mils record and It will be brought to 1:30 at least. If thla Is done, the season of 1MB will close with a blase of glory, from a sporting and spectacular point In direct contrast with the miserable failure from a financial point of view. bpeuking ot Taylor a record reminoa tne writer of one of the most prominent records that graced the official books a year ago, but which has been broken alncej not that there la any almllarlty In Taylor'a reeorde or the way they are made, but because both were made In regular trials. The record referred to was made In a western city, by a rider who has been more or less prominent thla year. He had coveted the mark for a certain distance for a long time, and made elaborate preparations to secure It, though aa arranged it was not necessary.

Appearance, nowever, had to be there, and the elaborate preparations were for the purpose ot furnishing the appearances. He got the record and made such time that he was heralded as one of the greatest riders of the day, and the way he did It was as follows: Three men were selected as timers, because of their social standing, who did not knnw the first principles of timing a record trial, and did not even know the size of the track, so green were they at the business. Hut they were w-ell known men, so knowledge of bicycle racing was unnecessary. They were Instructed that a pistol would be fired at the start, when their watches should also be started, and another report would be given at the linlsh, when they were to stop their watches. They carried out Instructions Implicitly, but the pistol was Vied at the start after the rider had gone many yards beyond the starting point, and, again, was fired before the rider entered the homestretch for the tlnlah.

The elnpsed time was the record, but the rider was several hundred yards short of the required distance. The racing board pnssed the record on the reputation ot the timers. If cycling Is deteriorating In popularity Ita place will Immediately be taken by Its direct offspring the automobile. This sport has already won great popularity in foreign countries, notably France and England, and Americans look forward to this as the next "fad." or craie, aa It may be termed. Already there are a number of leading manufacturers In this country who have begun to manufacture this style of machine, and, like the bicycle In Its Infancy, It Is used principally now for pleasure, but also, like the wheel, when maker Is pitted against maker, competition will become lively and the ultimate result will be rac ing lust as waa wit! cycling.

The automobile wllf be used for another purpose, and one that will bring it directly in contact with cycle racing; that la in pacing. It is a foregone conclusion that the attendance at race meetings where paced races are given are not sufficiently large at the present time to support this style of racing, and foreign pacing must be used or the sport given up. The cost of human pacing Is so great that It cannot be afforded, but with the automohlli pacing the expense will be lessened, conse. quently It will not be necessary to draw so lurira an attendance In order to make it finan cially remunerative. Motor pacing has one advantage over human pacing, providing, of course, the automohllea are a success.

Hy their use a contestant is given an easy, steady pace, which will bring out Ms merit, wheress with human pace, as has been clearly demonstrated this year, the contestant Is compelled to suffer because of the Inferiority of his pacemakers, whether It be a lack of speed nr a bungle In their work Hy a system of regulations such as can be put Into use In foreign countries, the motors can be guided snd regulated to such a speed aa will satisfy the contestant, snd thus enable him to devote nil his energy to speed rather than to ehlfts. It will lose some of Its spectacular features by the use of the motor pacing. It Is true, but whet Is lost In this will be made up for In speed, which la so essentiul to a successful race. A. W.

Mrs. Longshore Potts, M. addressed an other large audience of women at the Alvlti theater yesterday afternoon. One of the salient feature of a very able address waa a short dlssertaion on "Tuberculosis." "The tubercle bacillus." she said, "can alone cause this fatal tuberculosis. When It finds a lodgement lu the lungs, consumption follows.

This bacillus Is a little colorless red-like plant, so small that thousands of tiiem together cannot be seen by the naked eye. We have learned, In the last few years a very comforting fact, namely, tuberculosis is not hereditary. We should thoroughly understand this, for It refutes a tradition of years and one still extensively entertained. "Consumption can only be transmitted by the little plants being transferred from tubercular human beings or animals. The only animals liable to convey the disease to man are cattle.

The danger from uncooked beef or milk Is real. Research has shown that the tubercle bacillus cannot be given off from moist surfaces. Neither the person or breath of the consumptive la a direct source of danger. It Is the sputum of the consumptive after its discharge from the body that Is dangerous. While moist sputum can do no harm unless transmitted direct by kissing, violent coughing, or unclan cooking utensils.

If the sputum becomes dried on bedding, floors, handkerchiefs or on the person, it may be breathed Into the lungs by others and cause death." MAY END IN MINDER.
