MORE TALK ABOUT CHEAP BIKES
A Well-Known Authority Says There
Is So .Much Complaint About Cheap
tirades That the 9IOU Article Will
Always Be Mold Cycling iu
Crowded Strerts.
AY". IT. Websjer, who is well known ir.
the wheeling 'world. Is of the opinion
that a concerted cut in 1897 prices fii.m
the $100 mark Is something that is prob
lematical. "You see." says Mr. Web
ster to the New York F.venlng Sun.
"tin-re has been a natural reaction af
ter all the talk ulmut cheap wheels-
wheels that are too cheap. Why, u
friend of mine who sold a very cheap
line of wheels was bothered so much by
complaints and fdiilt limling this sum
mer that he had to quit the business. I
think there will nkways be a SI 00 wheel
sold. Tim public at large throughout
the country have taken so kindly to
the instalment method of doing busi
ness that a large share of the trade will
always be conducted 011 that basis.
which has proved satisfactory to buyer
and si ller. The men who ride cheap
wheels tills year will not be satisticd
with tlu-m in 1SH7. and In the Knst. par
ticularly In New York, people perfer the
credit system to tin- purchase of low
RradL- wheels for cash. However tie
entire bicycle trade is, comparatively
speaking, unsettled. There are no fixed
limitations for tubing, and bicycle
parts, and ns there Is u fliiotuiitln:;
market it is Impossible to say that all
high grade wheels cost the same price,
for the conditions with the makers nr
widely, different. As a popular and In
teresting study tlie bicycle industry has
captured public favor and the price
(lucstion is right up in front."
"Cycling In tlie crowded thorough
fares of cities Is cxticcinely danger
ous," says the "'American Cyclist,"
"and a number of accidents which have
recently occurred could be cited to
show that Rival caution should be exer
cised by nil who are compelled to use
their wheels lit sections of cities where
congested tralllc threatens disaster to
tlie lightly built bicycle and its ven
turesome rider, who Rets mixed up Iu n
vortex of moving trucks and wagons.
Especially should women avoid the
streets of cities and towns upon which
business travel and traffic are chlelly
centered. A good rub- when one Is com
pelled to ride on city streets is to keep at
a safe distance behind teams and not
endeavor to pass round or cross them
without knowing1 what Is ahead. Most
of tht fatal accidents which bavo oc
curred upon our city steels have re
sulted from cyclists turning out sud
denly from behind wagons or street
cars nnd getting' directly in the way of
vehicles coining from the opposite di
rection. If the vehicle met happens to
be a street car or truck wagon the
chances are that the cyder will pnyl u
heavy penalty with his life or limb for
w hat after all Is a certain kind of care
lessness upon his part."
A mnn who understands the Johnson
I'ck racing combination says: "It Is no
surprise to the racing men In this coun
try that Johnson has accomplished
nothing in competition with the big rid
ers on the other side. It must be re
membered that Johnson's reputation as
a ratdns man Is built in ion the times
that be has made In record trials and
the allegations of Ills manager, Thomas
Kelt. You will also remember that last
year Johnson took part In but few races
owing; to the fact that he asked stu b
enormous inducements that lie was not
really desirable. Again, Walter Sanger
was the only really good man that lie
met. and he was just recovering from
sickness and was not In the best trim.
As a competition rider. Johnson Is not
rated high aiming the racing fratern
ity, although we must admit Hint with
pood pacing, nnd under fair conditions
he can ride fairly well against time."
"If Paid and Cooper." says a follower
of racing, "were traveling on n running
horse eircuit these days, they would be
rilled off the track for in-and-out run
ning. 5urely these two men must be
pretty evenly matched when they win
and lose to each other day after day.
Bald had the satisfaction of winning a
majority of the races In Cooper's native
state, but It must have been worth con
siderable to have seen their work of last
Saturday. The present season does not
seem to have developed any rider who
classes with Bald and Cooper, and even
'Wooden Shoes' Sanger, fast as he Is.
only wins an occasional piece of
molfcy."

Cape May Is bicycle crazy, and one

The recent good roads agitating In Cape

of excellent highways, forming a network
all over tho county. Much of the credit
for this state of things Is due to the efforts
of the Cape May County Bicycle Road Im

The legs of James J. Corbet t nave al
ways excited tire -wonder of his admirers
from their Btrength and the amount of en-
durance they possessed, when at the same
time their light nppearanre in comparison
with the polenilld muscular develoiimi nts
of other great athletes was taken into
oon-ileration, says an exc.hnnge. Cor
bett's legs are slim very slim for a man of
his height nnd weight, but they have car.
rled him through all of his battles with no
sign of weakening. The doctors said they
were the result of Wgh development, with
all the muscles strained to the point of
whipcord and as strong ns so much llnely
drawn steel. A recent examirratlon
mm
has been made of Corbet ia underpinning
by means of Roentgen rays, and the re
sults lias proven a surprise to the med
ical fraternity of the I'aclllc Slope, who
conducted the test. 'The developed plate,
alter an exposure of twenty minutes to
the penetrating mysterious X rays, shows
Coibett to be i'ossissed of an abnormal
bony structure. The bones of Curbett's
legs are very large und straight. His
arms are constructed on the same lines as
tho bones of his feet and legs. The Joints
are also big, light and strong, tlrni nnd
well-knit. Although his legs look thin.
It Is clue to his superb osseus construction,
that he Is enabled to do such clever shifty
work with his f'm-t, and to use his hands
with the rapidity mm! precision thut ho is
known to possess.

The latest bit of liens on the Corhctt
Shurkey bout conies from "Jimmy" Car
roll, who says: "1 saw Sharkey meet Cor
bett the other nlg-bt, and 1 must say that
It was the jioorcst exhibtlon of buxing 1
ever aw In public, especially ' where u
champion was one of the contestants.
Thsie was nothing but hugging after the
llrst round, and all done by the so-called
champion. Corbet t Is just now a wreck
of his former self, and If he cannot get
Into something like his old-time form
Sharkey will whip him sure. Sharkey is
not a lilt c lever, but he Is strong, lull of
light and game 11s a pebble. He tiles to
make every purh h tell by landing It on
some part of the body. Oh. what a pie h -would
be for F itzstnimons. Bob would
stop him In a few rounds." This state
ment from Jimmy Carroll, who is the bit
terest foe Bob l-'itzslmmons has in tlie
world, will not be very palatable to Coi
bett or his friends.
