TO MEET NEXT WEEK| ARE You CAREFUL? Call Issued to Those Interested in Cyéle Racing, ee NEW ORGANIGATIGN 10 CONTROL — Riders and Trainers Must Be Reg- asteréd. DETAILS OF MANAGEMENT A cali has just been issued for a meet- ing of those interested in the organiza- tion of a new association to control cycle racing in this country, taking the matter entirely out of the hands of the League of ; American Wheelmen. The call is not a sur- prise, as most of the track owners knew | that it would be made before the winter Was over. ‘The cail has been sent to the owners and managers of the leading tracks in the east. Not only have the tracks been included, but the most prominent race-promoting bicycle clubs. The membership of the new association will be composed of bicycle track owners, managers, clubs promoting race meets, and members of the organized bodies of racing men themselves, giving all interested a representation in the man- agement. The call is signed by Mr. J. D. | La of this city, who has been most | prominent in the matter, representing the ack interes John C.

Saengerbund Bowiers Take Three Games, The Saengerbund bowling team journeyed to the realms beyond the James Creek canal last night, and, entering the wig of the Washington Athletic Club Indi slaughtered those braves upon their own hunting ground, and Big Chief Nathan of the Saengers needed the victories mightily. The terrific rush of Carroll Institute toward the pennant pole has been a source of wor- riment to the German players, and their three-time defeat at the hands of the In- stitute was a bitter dose. However, the Saengers put themselves well into a good second position in the league running by last night’s three victories. And they played good tenpins, too, with two games over the 800 ma The home team lacked vigor in its work. With scores diminishing in size in each suc- s it © would not be proper to cre cientious work.

The third autumn meeting of the Wash- in Jockey Club closed yesterday, and it was by far the most successful in the club's history. The fields were the largest, the number of Starters being limited only by the width of the track in many in- stances, and while the racing was not of the sensational kind, it was invariably in- teresting, and in three instances the track record was broken, Gen. Mart Gary mak- ing a new one for six and a haif furlongs, Trillo one for seven furlongs and Trillion one for the full sieeplechase course.

If his success does not turn his head, the youngster will be one of the crack jockies of the country. The track was one of mud and water, but not dangerous, and the sport was fairly interesting, favorites tak- ing the last two races, and well bacned horses being successful in the other events. The cup race deveioped into a procession, in which Knight of the uarter led from art to finish.

When a man crossing some difficult place in /his working career; spurring Z ail his energies to accomplish some critical passage in jour suddenly his health way and feels himself AZ swept out of the = saddle by the — S swiftrunning ZY current of dis- _ ease—then is the a time when the marvelous rejuvenating properties of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will prove an unfailing means of rescue and restoration. It is a very simple though eminently scientific medicine. It is not a mere stim- ulant like so many malt extracts. It re- stores healthy power by reviving the in. nermost sources of vitality in the nutritive system. It enables the digestive and blood- making organism to manufacture good blood abundantly and rapidly, so that the immense waste of tissue and nerve fiber entailed by hard labor is offset by a speedy upbuilding of fresh energy and strength. inent and venerable Illinois physician, . Vowles, M. D., of Fowler, Adams Co. riting to Dr. Pierce, says: “I send herewith thirty-one (51) cents in stamps for * The e's ‘Common Sense Medica! Adviser’ in cloth bind- ing. With this pittance for so valuable a work (truly a gift to the public), I must express my high appreciation of the vast amount of good that you have rendtred the public. A correct measure of your usefulness never has been, and never will be estimated by the public; no, uot even by the multitude of afflicted humanity that has been relieved and cured by your medi- cines. Wherever I go or have been in the United States, I find who have used, and are using Dr. Picrce’s medicines with satisiac- tion, for all conditions for which they are recom- mended. Never has one spoken disparagingly of their action, and from having seen so often their good cffects, I am also enthused with con- fidence in their action in cases and conditions for which they are recommended.
