Racing Crews Resist Payment of Fines—Movement in the West—Sev- eral Tracks Have Been Engaged. rhere A good many.Whorpave been closely fol- lowing the racing game are wondering if the fight against the League of American Wheelmen for ésntrél of professional rac- ing has opened....[he fight was to have be- guh several weeks ago, but it was prob- ably postpened on account of the fact that no suitable grounds! had been found on which to stast thé’contémplated fight. Now 2 sufficient cause@has arisen. A decision of the racing Woard gdverse to the interests of some ofthe riders has been seized as the ground for the opening of the struggle, which seems pretty apt to end in the over- ucular class-of the sport. It will be remembered that when in this ng Moran some of the members of ing crews of Harry Elkes used rong language. A report of the mat- ter was published tn The Star at the time. The local referee reported the affair to Chairman Mott, and after evidence was ob- tained a fine of $25 was placed against the names of a number of the riders on the | pacing machines. The edict of the racing board suspended the men from competition in track events until the tine was paid. The fine was imposed about two weeks ago, the charge being ungentlemanly conduct, or something of the kind. The men declared | that they would not pay the fine. This was | the beginning of the fight, and in taking | the stand they did the riders were evidently | encouraged by others who promised to see | them through. The movement in behalf of the profes- sionals, while mest activa on the coast, is extending through the west. In the east, the hore'of the movement, prep- arations have already been made whereby the tracks at four or five of the leading cities, and possibly more, have agreed to come in. There tracks are the most im- portant in the country, and when <he: throw down the gauntlet other trac expected to come and join in the issue with | them. is, if no other tracks j the movein those which have alr been secured are sufficient to estab: gcod circuit for regular weekly racing. The decision of the tracks to join in the revolt is not all. Two-thirds of the courses in the country might be willing, and ye: the movement might fail owir that no®riders had been secured who were willing to join in the strife. Perhaps afew men might be secured who would be will- ing to venture in the movement, but ma- jority of the cracks might have a disn< tion to remain out until it could be whether or not the struggle would termi- nate successfully. In the present ca hewever, no trouble is anticipated on thi account. All of the leading riders hav been talked to regurding the matter, and they have been signed under contract, practically employed by the projectors of the fight. This being the case, the revolt will be all the more interesting. It might be thai the entire thing will not come fully out until after the national circuit closes, so as to give the contestants a chance to get placed. The hold of thé League of American Wheelmen on the racing game has been gradually diminighing as the sport in- ed in exteyt. “With the California ion movement, ;,which has died out, gun of, discontent was fired, and imilar movements were expected in utes, the matter was not concerted, and hence did net result favorably to those interested. The ,orgapization of the track owners this springswas perhaps one of the strongest movements, and, though an ami- cable understanding ,was had between the track men and ghe racing board—whereby the latter as a yedy secured more recogni- tion than they would have received had they remained ag, individuals—the spirit of unrest has gradually.grown. In this coun- try the leading racing men, or most of them, especially the middle-distance cracks, are employed by twa organizations, both of which have pienty of funds behind them, They are really heeoming to be the powers in professional .picygje racing, and while heretofore they have-peen paying attention to only the middle distance game, of late they have been taking up the sprint style of racing and encouraging the riders in this class. The significance of the visit of Lisette, the French female champion, to this coun- try has not as yet been disclosed. She is undoubtedly under contract, and, while she may not appear in outdoor events, there is a big possibility that this winter she will be used as a star in indoor female events. Already it is understood that she is booked for certain tracks, and is expected to ap- pear around October 22, at Philadelphia. On the same date Ollie Davis of this city, who was in the six-day female race at Center Market HaH last year, will ride a five-mile unpaced match race with Tillie Farnsworth, the champion female rider of this country, and the survivor of more than one six-day grind held in Chicago and other cities. Negotiations for the latter race are now in progress, and everything will be definitely determined upon in a short time. LOCAL RACING CHAT The agent of a well known wheel in this city recently received a curious complaint from a sub agent at Wheeling, W. Va., which hes since been remedied A race meet was held at the town, and because the agents of two different makcs of whee!s did not giv: a prize or something of the Kind the race meet promoters were offend- ed. In a spirit of revenge they made a ruling that no rider could enter the race If he rode such and such make of wheel, naming the two wheels in question. The complaint was forwarded to the main house in this city by the agent, who feit considerably aggrieved over the high- banded action of the race meet promoters. From this city the complaint was sent to Chairman Mott of the racing board, who in turn ‘ransmitted it to Mr. Folz, the member of the racing board in whose juris- diction the offense was committed. The address of Mr. Folz is Indianapolis, Ind., and by the time the complaint reached him the race had been run, according to the original intention of the race meet promot- ers. This did not end the matter, however. After ascertaining the truth and justice of the complaint Mr. Folz wrote 2 sharp and stinging letter to the race meet people, in which he rebuked them for their action, and concluded by stating that in the future ver the city of Wheeling wanted an- ce meet they would bave to de- tified check of $100 with the sanction fee, 2s a guarantee that the race would be run cff according to the racing s. A copy of the letter was sent to » main agency in th’ and it wa transmitted to the agent at Wheeling, who made a display of it greatiy to the chagrin of the race meet promoters. It ms hardly likely that when anothe: t is held in the town there will be any discrim- ination as to the wheels ridden by the con- testants.

He rode a good race Monday afternoon. He in the second heat of the mile open, whi was won by Sims, and he finished a second. In the final of the rage he came in third, with Moran and Sims only a short distance in the lead. His training early in the season for middie-distance paced work had a bad effect on him, but all of this is now disappearing. A triplet pursuit race with two teams would undoubtedly be an interesting event at the park track. It need not be for an unlimited distance, like the Australian race, but a distance of five or ten miles ean be placed on the contest, the team at the lead when that distance’ is covered to be declared the winner. With Billie Sims, Lee Counselman and Robert L. French on one triplet and E. L. Wilson, A. C. Moran and H. R. Steenson on another a good race ought to result. Such a race would be par- ticularly interesting, owing to the fact that both were pacing for the Sims-Schade contest, and that the rivalry between these two men is more or less reflected in the pacing outfits. One of the most popular amateur riders in the city at the present time is “Pop” Davison of the Arlington Wheelmen. This fact has been demonstrated on more than one occasion, and particularly in the two- mile handicap race of the Arlington Wheel- men held Monday. No rider ever received the encouragement that he did, receiving a continuous round of applause every time the rider passed the grand stand. “Pop” has been a contestant in a number of events at the park track, and it is to be hoped that he will be able to continue to participate. Barring the Sims boys, perhaps the best tandem team in the city today is the crew of Lee Counselman and R. L. French. They not -only succeeded in winning the tandem pursuit race Labor day, but in the recent tandem heat race they were tied for second place with the Turville boys, the well-known Philadelphia tandem team. But for an accident at the start of an addi- ticral heat to settle the tie, which threw the local boys out of the contest altogether, they would undoubtedly have taken second place. ee “Did you do nothing to resuscitate the body?" was recently asked of a witness at @ coroner's inquest. _ “Yes, we searched the pockets,” was the reply.—Bogton Traveller.

Fred. | Sims and Fred. A, L. Schade will undoubt- edly result in another m ng of the two riders before long. Such a rz is demand- ed, net only by the public, but by the rac- ing men themselves, and, in accordan with the wishes of those interested, the management of the Park Bicycle Club will do well to get the two together agaia as scon as possible. Both men have too many friends to permit the matter to rest In its present shape. While the race Monday was awarded to Sims, he winning three heats, yet two of these heats were outside the time limit announced. The first heat was only a lit- Ue over two seconds above the time limii, and yet it was declared by the judges to ix no contest. The second heat was run jusi under the limit, while the third heat was nearly eight seconds above the limit, and yet the judges allowed ths heat to count and awarded the race to Sims. The trouble of the matter seemed to be in the fact that the heats were scattered too close to the end of the program. They ought to have been scattered mo so that the ride would have a chance of getting rested be- lwe the heats. Had th been done there would have been no dissatisfaction arise over the result of the contest. Between the contestants themselves there med to have been more or less of a mis- understanding. In the first place, one was plainly evident, and that is the ween the two has been incre hundred per cent by the match race and that from now on ail riding b the two will be for blood, figuratively speaking. Though perhaps not noticed by ail the spectators, Sims turned and grinned hade every time he pass- ed him on the sprint at the homestretch This added fuel to the tire of rivalry. Whether any agreement was drawn u> between the two riders prior to the race is not Known, but it is hardly thought that such a course was pursued. This being the case, there was almost as much quarrelir and quibbling before the start of the conte there would have been had a big mide distance match race been on } en two of the leading cracks. In the first place, a protest Was made over the the pacing ma- chin: Sims objected to Schade having a certain make of triplet, which was claimed to be fully fifty yards faster to the mile than his pacing machine. By this was meant that the machine was more ily pushed, and with the same strength erted by one team on beth machines one used b: ex- the hade could cover much more ground. Then, again, the question of ing the pace was discussed, and, as erally the custom, the pace left off n homestretch, leaving the contestants to fight it out between themselves on the sprint for the finish. In the race Mond the pace quit at the third turn, leaving t two men to fight it out between themsely for half a lap. That Schade was disappointed in the re- sult there can be no doubt. All of his cal- culations were knocked in the head. In the first place, he counted on the race carrying him clear > the tape, leaving him to beat them out at the finish if possibl en had he been carried to the entrance to the homestretch he could have left there and sprinted in alone, advantage. : an excellent third and fourth turns ni ree ne Wheel geared to 104, the measurement of his machine, it w: an eXtremely difficult matter io make the turn and at the time get up steam for a sprint. i said to the contr: he felt rea- y ure that h Dace would carry him to either of the points he desired, and not until just before the start of the first heat did he find out differently. As nothing However, as the race was run it proved to be a pretty contest, in which Sims clear- ly distinguished himself by his smooth work. When he lost his pace he did the next best sensible thing, followed the rear wheel of Schade’s bicycle. When the pacing crew of his opponent passed his on the stretch Sims by a slight turn managed to get immediately behind the machine, cutting Schade out, aad making him take a rear place. Then, again, the manner in which Sims engineered to have his pacing machines reach the third turn of the third lap just in time to switch off and trail on the rear wheel of Schade was something commented upon. In this manner he se- cured pace for the entire turn, and came in- to the homestretch comparatively fresh ready for a big sprint. The contest only serves to illustrate the headwork displayed by Sims in all his riding, and adds greatly to his reputation in this direction. While this match race will undoubtedly result in the running off of another be- tween the two men, other events of the kind will spring up. That the public was interested in the race was clearly evidenced by the attention gtven the riders while spinning around the oval, and the cheering and shouting for the respective favorite: At the finish of each race there was not a person sitting’in the stand. All arose, en- deavoring to get a better view of every motion of the riders. H. R. Steenson, the fast Minneapolis boy, who was on the rear seat of the Schade triplet, has come out with a challenge to race the winner of the Schace-Sims con- test, for a purse to be offered, and a side bet of whatever sum may be agreed upon. He has established his reputation as a good Tider, and feels confident that with good pace he could defeat either of the two men. At any rate, he is only too anxious to have a trial, and undoubtedly before many days have elapsed he will be given an opportuni- + th showing what he can do in this direc- The Great Providers.” 10 P.M.
