Dirty and CominuiiU Kcupei t.
A man with a weather worn bicycle
suit w-eiit into a hotel writing room and
Sat down ut one of the tables, lie
reached for a sheet of paper and began
to write, or nt least appeared to be
writing.
Presently two of the men who had
been wilting went away, leaving only
the man In the bicycle suit and u young
man with a dark moustache.
"Friend, w ill you pardon me if I ask
you a question V" paid the man iu the
biryt le suit.
"Certainly. Co nhenil."
"Would you be willing to give up a
small piece of money to a man who was
In hard luck'.'"
"What do you moon? Are you
busted'.'"
"Yes, sir; that's what I am."
"IH 11 live here In Chicago?"
"No. sir: I'm Just pausing through."
"Well, you've got u wheel, haven't
you?"
"Yesi, sir; but I'm expecting some
money to be forwarded to Milwaukee
and if 1 soak my wheel 1 can't get up
there."
"You can go up on the train."
"Yes: but then I'd have to runic back
to get the wheel and I want to keep on
north. If you can timre me enough
to get a meal and 11 place to sleep I
would be very glad to return the amount
to yon us suon as the remittance ivuch
es me."
"No." said the wise young man, shak
ing bis head. "Not 11 bit like It. You
do It too well. That's too much like a
speech."
"I'm tellin' you tlie truth."
llli KNKW THK 11 A M K.
"No: you're too smooth. A bike rider
that wus really busted and had to make
the touch wouldn't do It like that. I'll
tell you whut I will do. I ll give you
some money, but it's with the under,
standing that I ain't iieln' worked for
n sucker, and you tell me what your
graft is."
"I don't know what you mean by
Hint."
"Oh. yes. you tin. If you're guin' to
talk that way you get no money out of
me."
The man in the bicycle suit looked nt
the young fellow for u moment and then
nn lil: "I'll bet a dollar you've grafted
in your time."
"That's all tight about inc. I'm ask
in' abi mt you. Are you u bike rider on
the siiuare'.'"
"Well, the fact Is, I haven't bought a
wheel yet," and he smiled.
"That's what I thought. What's the
object In wearing the suit?"
"Say, the greatest graft In the world.
I can go anywhere with this suit on. In
tlie country- the best thing you ever
heard of. I used to, when I struck a
country town broke, hang around the
section house or go through Hie ulleys.
Now when I hit a town I wulk right up
the main street and go into the best
hotel and ask If they've got any Chicago
papers. No matter how tough or dirty
1 look It goes, because people think I'm
out on a long ride. I couldn't look any
worse than some of the regular kind. If
anybody Hsks me where my wheel Is I
tell 'i"tn I left It at some house out In
the edge of town. Put I hey don't ask
you often. They see you with the suit
and that's enough. Kvery hike crank
is after you to find how far you've rode
nnd w hat kind of a wheel you've got,
but that's easy enough. You tel! 'em
n hard luck story and you can get most
any thing never 11 touch, understand:
just a loan. That's a good, reasonable
story, don't you think'.' changed nfy
route 11 little nnd won't get any money
till I reach some town loft miles ahead."
"How Is It when you get out in the
country'."'
WITH THK WOMEN.
"I'm stronger there- than nny where
else. When I go to strike a woman for
a handout 1 don't ask her If she can
spare ine a little something to eat.
That's too much like a tramp. 1 say:
'How much will you charge tno for a
couple slices of bread and butter and
a cup of coffee?' Now, if a niiiti with
money asked thai iUesiion he might be
running some rl.-k, but I can't get tlie
worst of It. Nine times out of ten the
woman says she won't r barge me any
thing. If she wants tne to pay I'm at
liberty to ray the price Is too high and
walk away. It's tin- best scheme in tho
world."
"I believe It Would Work."
"I know il. The woman always
thinks the wheel's out in front of the
house. If she st.es you coming on foot
ami asks you about Hie wheel you ran
ti ll lii-r you left it somewhere back on
the road to b repaired. A man in tt
bicycle suit can get u title on freight
trains when n regular hobo would be
pitched off. It Just i-.hows that ivople
have some respect for a man's that's
worth any money, nnd. of course, a
man that owns a bicycle has got to be
ahead of the p.-ame a little."
"It' a tough loaklnp; suit." remarked
Hie young man.
"The tougher the belter. Then people
know you're a long distance iidr and
have been out 011 the country roads. I
lome mighty near getting Into trouble
down near Momenoi;. though. A man
wanted tile to try hl't wheel and tell
him w bat I thought of It."
"Can't you ride?"
"I should say not. How do you s'pone
I'd ever learn to ride? I never taiv
t he price pi' a wheel, leave alone having
one."
"Don't people ever gel on to you?"
"oh. they may. but what if they do?
I've got a tight to wear any kind of
clothes I wutil to. Heshh-s, this is a
great make-up for beallu' around the
country. A sweater lasts you forever
and there'll ulwuys one way to get long
black stockings."
"How long have you been in Chi
cago?" "I've been here three days, droppln'
around in different plnecs and giving
that story 1 told you. How did you
get on?"
UTonv told nun well.
"You told your story too well. You
want to change It a little and put more
feelliif- Into It."
"I. si that so? Mnbl.ee I nln't as good
as I thought I was. I fool the coppers,
though. I was as-leep In Washington
squaie the other night with some other
fellows, when 11 con came through, He
rapped all the other fellows on the feet
and punched 'rm with the club, but
when he got to me and saw the sult he
Just - shook me by the shoulder and
wanted to know where my wheel wtuk
I told him I'd left It nt the repair shop.
Well." he says, 'you're runnln' quite a
risk If you sleep here with all these
tough characters around.' 8 o I thanked
him and went out to find another place
to sleep. You haven't forgot what you
said about lmndln's me a piece of
money?"
"No, I'll give up to you. Here's a
quarter. 1 like any man who's good
ut his particular line of business."
"Weil. 1 think I'm pretty fair. I went
In to look at a new kind of wheel yes
terday and the man In the store gave
me a cigar. I hadn't thought of the
bicycle stores before. They ought to
be good. Well. I'm goln' to take this
quarter and buy some oil fur my lamp.
Good-bye."
"Oood-bye." Chicago Record.
WHEELING NOTES.
The race of W. W. Hamilton against
the celebrated pucer, joe I'atchen, has
been arranged nnd the date set for
August 22. It will be run In Chicago,
but the track has not yet been select
ed. Washington park track will ba
chosen, it Ih thought, as It Is the best
arranged course for such a race.
Dave Shaffer, the grat trainer, who
hns handled such riders as lUss. Titus
and Sanger, will in all probability take
an American racing team to Australia
during the coming all, after the racinij
season is over here. It will be an all
American team, be made up of the
liest riders in the country, possibly
Including Kddle Unld. Tom Cooper,
Sanger and several more of the Amer
ican cracks. Tandems, triplets, quad
ruplets and perhaps u sextet will be
taken along.
Johnson nnd Parsons are going to
Australia about the latter part of Oc
tober under the maiiugement of Tom
Kck. Johnson may join the all-American
team. With such an aggregation
of world-heaters the American team
should capture nearly all the rich
prizes put up by the Australians.
The prizes offered at race meets In
Australia are much lurger than any
hung up In America, ns they can well
n fiord to be from tho large crowds
attending them. Shafer said yester
day he was considering the matter,
and would probably go, as he thought
big money was to be made out of the
trip.
New York cyclers are about to es
tablish a "Hicycle Helief Corps," the
objects of which are stated to be "re
lief to thost) meeting with accidents,
whether on a trip or on the road."
Many serious accidents to cyders have
occurred nt n distance from medical
aid, and It is the purpose of the new
organization to give temporary relief
until a regular physician can be se
cured. The aim of the corps is to
have encli club supplied with Its nwn
attendant by selecting a member of
the corps for admission into said club,
who will In turn Instruct his fellow
members. When fully organized Hie
corps will endeavor to have a member
located on each of tho much-frequented
roads nenr the metropolis.
Cincinnati cyclers, by means of their
complete organization, have succeeded
In downing the sprinkling nuisance,
nnd have had an ordinance passed
which not only prescribe!: how much
water shall he used on the streets, but
also allows a portion of each thor
oughfare to remain unspritikled.
The race track management nt
Butte, Mont., has decided that female
cyclists who wear bloomers belong In
the men's class, and have denied them
the free privilege that Indies enjov
at the truck. Hcifaftcr they will be
compelled to either pay l for every
admission to the track, as men do, or
purchase a season ticket.
A Nutmeg state bicycle manufac
turer with nn eye to the main chance
Is putting two wheels on the market,
one of which Is known as the "Hold
Hug" and the other as Ihe "Silver
Ling." The metals manufactured by
the concern are In each instance a per
fect Imitation of gold nnd silver, and
no plnting will be used In the entire
make-up of the wheels.
The scheme of nllowing professionals
and amateurs to ride together In the
national championships is. in the opin
ion of the "lieferee," entirely wrong;
not on the ground Hint the nmateur
will In any way he contaminated, how
ever, for It would he difficult to pollute
the preseiit-tluy pure in any manner.
Hut it is folly to believe Hint an 1VG
amateur has even a shod of a show
to win championship honors when pit
ted against any of the circuit chasers,
to say nothing of Mich men ns Coop r.
Maid, Sanger and ( iardiniT. Th
championships are gifts to the pro
fessionals. There should be ti'.vo Hep
mate classes of chiiinpinnsh'.ps pro
fessional and amateur for then the
pures will have some show to bp
clowned Willi championship wreaths.
Parsons, the Australian crack, who
crime aeio-s with Johnny Johnson, has
been on the truck but eighteen months,
during which time he has won forty
two firsts, thirty seconds and nine
thirds. Ho holds tveiy Australian
recoid from the quarter to fifty miles,
hi sides nil tin eha'iiploi-.ships. He says
he nnd Johnson .will go to Australia
In November or December.

NERVY BETTING
BY PENDLETON
How the Well Known Circuit Plunder
Dues It.
QUIET, AND LNASSUMW9 FELLOW
Everybody Likes Him aud lie Stands
in with the Big Horse Ow ncflle In
Not Like the 1 sual Professional
Bettor. .
Tn an article on Pendleton, iwho is so
well known along the liianil Circuit,
Percy, lu the Chicago News, had this
Interesting story yesterday:
"Pen" usually attends to the buying
for General Turner, frequently oper
ates for Mr. Humlln and Is "In" with
Orrln Illckok and Counselor Crawford.
He Is a good buyer, attracting no no
tice even when they tout hlin to s -e
what he Is on. It Is ulwuys dltllcult
to catch him, as he rarely more than
nods his head or lifts his cane, but tho
auctioneer, in nn aside to his writer,
will say "Pen," Just so one near ut
hand can hear the name. Aguin, he
has an order In early $2,000, $5,000 or
whatever it may be, and though he
Is seen in the ring lie rarely bids up
the other end as some do.
Always watching every one else alt
the while, he knows how every pool
Is played by owners and their agents
and gets many a line in llmt direction.
When he hedges one has to follow
closely. The seller Is, of course, bound
to get oh" as much as he can for "Pen"
nnd he . Is busy always to lose no
chances to protect his Interests In the
deul. In the books a bet by I1I111 always
knocks tlu price down and he has
hard work getting on n horse to any
extent. I have time and again got on
a horse for a heat for him and always
received a liberal offer of settlement
when It won. When the Goldsmith
boys were alive "Pen" did a lot of
business with them, ns he was always
a great admirer of their driving and
lifting capacity. The day Mambrino
Maid beat Lady Hulllon, Almont and
other good ones nt Cleveland in 18:0
I saw; "Pen" play thousands of dollars
for the party, nnd she won It hand
somely, too, Jim floldsmlth drov
0110 of the races of his life that day.
"Hoc" Tanner was his head man then
and told me all along that the peculiar
ly marked mare by Majolica's brother,
Mambrino Startle, (would eventually
win It and to get In when the price
was low. I had great faith in Hudd Do
ble's mount Lady Hulllon but she
never could have beuten the mare
from Philadelphia that day. She got
her record In that race as did also Al
mont, 2:17, then In Uickerson's stable.
The Michigan people backed Lady
Hulllon heavily and the Klnffman boys
lost a heap of good money, ns did, I
think, Mr. Clark, owner or Pilot Me
dium. on 10 run WINNING.
Another race on which the syndicate
won well was ut Itocbesicr the year
Star Lily, won the Flnwer City stake
$10,0(10. Andy Welch was In on the
play and Frank Herd to had a very
busy day. his ticket-writers ns well
having to do a double-quick to keep
pace with the game. Still another
race I remember where "Pen" got
mnny winning tickets was when Semi
colon, defeated the then sensational
"spotted mare," Leopard liose, 2:1Ti',
at Charter Oak In the mud. Had not
Jerry O'Nell won 11 heat from the soft
mare .which Hrannigan had It would
have been all off, but the little Med
ford relnsman pulled the game out of
thi.1 fire by beating the favorite In a
smashing finish right t the wire,
thereby earning n- neat little remembrance-
from floldsmlth, ns Semicolon
won the deciding heats. In addition, I
will say. I think to this day O'Neill
had n Utile on Present to win well
and took a chance to beat tho cracks
himself.
Mr. Pendleton has done the buying
for James Golden when cost many
years. It Is his ability to "see nnd not
to bo seen" which render's him es
pecially well fitted to do pooling at xll
limes. He has that cold, disinterested
way about him that few ever intrude
upon to ask 1111 opinion ami iwhcn he
loses one never sees a change. I'n
like many he rarely np ntlona amount),
although he lold me nt one meeting
west n few years ago, that it had cost
him $10,000 to watch the racing that
week. Hut later down south he got it
nil back. None eversn,'V "Pen" go to
tho judges' stand or "roast" a judge
because of losses to himself and the
party where some detail was passed
by too liberally to their interests In
the race. You never see him stand
around nn tho lawn counting his
money or stacking tin his tickets, nnd,
indeed, to watch him casually one
would think him entirely nt rose and
unconcerned as to the outcome of the
races.
P.revity is a study with "Pen." and
he can tell you more In t'-n lines in a.
letter than any one else could In a
two-page epistle. There Is a method
about everything he does, somehow,
and he never seems to be fi tidying the
selection of words to best bis pur
poses. If some ri;ilblrd Is surrounded
by a group listening to that worthy's
prognostications, do you think you
would see "Pen" gi t a lnt f ot otj
und join them? Not he. People like
"Senator" ami "Harney," who "know
something." can nlways get next, but
the windy class get a frost at nl!
times.
NOT A rP.OI'KSrUONAL.
You may think I have taken ns n
Eiibject a professional gambler, but
far from it. I have gone into It si
thoroughly to shew the methods used
by' one of our best Investors down the
line. There are others well known to
all racing men and each has a short
name lu the pool-box. "Pen" knows
who ""9" Is, w ho Is meant by "S., W."
who "K. F. 0." Is. also many others.
When the other end of his) ticket is
sold he pretty nearly knows who has
It. Many a lime ths- box buys it when
they think they knew .1 shade the best
In the race. Like nil big buyers, he
has practically 110 limit In the matter
of credit and never has to "produce"
to take out his tickets. One rarely
hears him remark. "I'll bet you so and
so" on anything up for discussion, but
I have ofttlmes heaul him say quiet
ly: "You will bet fhv hundred? Well,
I must take that bet." anil producing
a roll takes out the necessary amount
nnd hands It to some reliable man cf
his acquaintance whom the other end
may agree on as stakeholder.
Thnt's nil there Is to It. No more
talk unless the other party wants to
mU to the bet and he thinks well of
It, sometimes a little barter tor odds
or whatont but never any cheap talk,
"knocking" or other than stralrttJoV
ward, courteous dealing.
He told me recently that his spring,
Investment following- the runners were'
quite a losing game and he had enough,
experience In that direction to last 1
awhile. Some time In the later sea- .
mn after Nashville he will return to
PivWdence. open up shop for the win
ter and. baring an occaslontal run ui
to Boston (forty-four miles) or a trip
to New York now and then to sea
Andy Welch or attend a, sale where
he knows the horsemen will congre
gate, he attends strictly to business.
"Pen" was a pallbearer at poor John
Guldsmlth's funeral and acted in Ilka
capacity at the burial of James H.
Moth brotheri esteemed hlin highly, M
did their father before them. -ven
though the latter was not In favor ot
the pool-box. Young Aldtn Goldsmith
Is not driving any races but living
quietly at the homestead In Washing
tonville N. Y. "Pen" tells me he has
quite a correspondent In "Jimmy's
boy," as we always calfed him, am
one can see the quiet attachment be
trayed in his allusion to the young
man.
