Special to tho Scmnton Tribune.
Berwick, Pa., July 4. The Scranton
contingent of bicycle racing men was
very much In evidence here yesterday
at the fourth annual race meet of tho
Berwick Bicycle club. Robert V. White,
of Scranton, won the mile open and
was second In tho half-mile open.
Charles Coleman and Ben Keller, also
from Scranton, won the two and live
mile handlcans respectively. J. C.
Dawklns, another Scrantonlnn, cap
tured the third prize In the fifteen-mile
road race, which started from Blooms
burg, twelve miles below here, with a
three-mllo finish on the track.
Fully two thousand persons had as
sembled In the Driving Park when the
road racers began to arrive. The first
three to reach the track were Harry,
of Berwick; Dawklns, of Scranton, nnd
Brltllan, of Berwick. They were close
ly followed hy a large hunch of dirty
and worn-out pedal pushers. The fin
ish was very exciting, Harry winning
out, with Brlttlnn second nnd Daw
klns n good third.
Among those qualifying for the half
mile open were Coleman, Gregory,
White und Keller, of Scranton. The
final ot this event was won by Krlck,
with White a close second and W. G.
Keller, of Wllkes-Barrc, third.
The two-mlle handicap was won by
Charles Coleman from the eighty-yard
mark. A bad spill occurred In the last
Inn nf thin pvent. In which five men
went down, includlnc Ben Keller, a
short mark man who had Just caught
the bunch. Keller's front tire was had-
ly torn, which kept hlin out ot tno
mile open, as a new tire could not be
procured In time for the event. J. N.
Harry, of Berwick, sustained a frac
tured collar bone In the mix-up.
C. W. Krlck, the veteran rider, was
the conceded winner of the mile open
before the event occurred, but White
upset all calculations hy developing a
phenomenal sprint on the home stretch
nnd winning from Krick by a full open
length.
KELLER'S GOOD RACE.
Hy far the most exciting event of the
day was the five-mile handicap, which
was won by Ben Keller, who, with
Rnlph Gregory, was next to scratch. A
field of twenty-five riders, the nearest
to them on the 165 yard mark and tho
farthest out at 400 yards, gave Krlck,
Keller and Gregory an exceedingly
hard proposition to solve. Krlck gave
It up and rode off the track nftcr the
third mile, but the two Scranton boys
kept at It, catching the bunch at the
end nf the fourth mile.
McMlchael broke from the bunch on
the home stretch and for a few sec
onds looked like a sure winner, but like
a flash Keller shot out after him, over
taking and passing the Berwick boy a
few yards before the tape was reached,
winning out by a good margin.
C. W. Krlck broke the track mile
record of 2.1C, paced by Keller and
Gregory, of Scranton, covering the dis
tance In the remarkable time of 2.00.

he emerged from his home, nnd those
who passed noticed that his face was
very red, his necktie awry, and that he
was chewing his mustache briskly. He
purchnsed the paper which the news
boy shoved at him, and, when he was
seated in tho street car, began to read.
An Item on one of the inner pages ar
rested his attention, and he became
visibly excited. Ho gave a quick
glance out of the window and rang
the boll. In a few minutes he was at
the residence, near by, ot a member
of congress.

statesman appeared, "In the Interests

"Why, I have nothing1 to do with
thiat."
"You must have something1 to do
with it. It's a vital necessity!"
