Cbalrmnn Gideon or the Racing Board of the
League of American Wheelmen has exprosscd
'his Intention of retiring from the head of the
racing Interest! of the league at the ixplratton
of hi term of office In February. Oldeon de
clares that the government nt professional rac
ing by the league hai Increased the duties of the
Chairman tosuohan extent that no man can
properly attend to the racing duties of
the Ij. A. V. unless lie Is enabled
to devote his entire time to tho duties of the
om.ee. Chairman Gideon alleges that It looks as
though the league will us compelled, owing to
the Increased Interest In racing matters, to make
tbeufco of Chairman of the Racing Hoard a
salaried one. This Idea has boon suggested for
the last tno seasons, but the league officers,
with tho Idea of reducing Its financial
outlay to the lowest possible amount, refnsed
to accept the suggestion. Now that profes
sional racing has received such strong sup
port and has been mads such a prominent fea
ture at the big amateur meets. Its government
lias ongaged the attention of the racing officials
to such an extent that the amateur sections
have been somewhat overlooked. Under the L. A.
W. system of racing at the present time It Is dif
ficult for the Racing Board to properly look after
both the amateur and professional Interests,
and It Is felt that In the event of Chairman
H j Uj Oldeon resigning bis oHlce lie will be enabled
H yS through his experience this year to giro
H 1 ' valuable assistance to the league In tbe method
H Mi of suggestions for the proper conduct of Its rac
K t'i I Jog department.
H tiff s American bicycle manufacturer Is ar-
H i til ranging to push the sale of American wheols
H Y fl f throughout England next season, and tho
H t ij I chances of success are promising. The Cycle
J, Lk 'Drade Journal says: "Agents, more particularly
B jv i! those In the south of England, aro doing well
H fAl with American oycles, and many are actually
H il pushing them In preference to those of British
B ' ''ij manufacture for tbe slmnlo reason that the
B til unfortunatedearthotEngllshmecbanlcsdurlng
B , - the spring and early summer, and tho
B ft M consequent forced purchase of American
B B G machines by many of the upper classes has,
B S Hj In a measure, set a fashion for such ma-
It f'T chines, so that tho fashionable visitor to the
Pi VJS watering resorts are asking for American
H M all cyoles. A well-known south coast agent, who
S hK has several depots In various towns, told us ro-
?K i S cently that no was doing a large trade In a very
i ij well known American machine, while he could
i f' not dispose of scarcely any of an English
E SS f J rlrm of equal standing. Price, he said,
H .'f jf had something to do with tbe matter, for the
B ,f American machine was considerably the chenp-
1 kg er. People would not give something like SIS
m I, if morerorlbo English wheel when they saw It
f ai ij beside an apparently equally well-flnlsbcdAmer-
f If lean machine. And further. In maintained,
i'h that when new the Yankee wheel ran quite as
sTsr " fit welt Wo do not propose to enter Into a mtnulo
.Is criticism of the machines, but It Is qultn plain
'.'la to us that American cycles are quite good
"j enough to be serious rivals to the first grado
9 British machines, at any rate among the class
i ij! of people who give cycles comparatively little
, If! wear, and It must be remembered tbat It Is the
U very best class of buyers who pay the best
I i ij prices and give tbe agent the least trouble."

Riders who have been opposed to the use of
brakes on bicycles this year will look forward
to such attachments next season with satisfac
tion. A number of the bicycle accidents during
this year have been attributed directly to the
failure of riders to equip their wheels with
brakes. Discomfort on the road and the gen.
eral absettee of safety with bicycles without
brakes hnvo lea the sensible riders tonow see the
wisdom of tho use of brakes. A well-known
blcyclo rider, who Is heart lly In favor of brakes,
says: "The average rider Imagines that a
brako on his wheel. If applied to tho tire,
will wear nut tho tire In less than a
wcok, and for this reason he cannot con
template for a minute the application of
such a-devlco; and yet he will put the toe of his
shoe back ol the fork of his machlno and coast
down a mountain side with xuprome satisfac
tion, regardless of the fact that his shoo soles
have ono or more nails which are likely to do
more damage In a minute than a brake would
do tn a year. Only a few weeks ago I saw a
party of sevon rlnors walking down a hill of
quite easy grade simply because It was
eailor to walk down than to back-pedal,
and their machines were not equipped
with brakes. Such action border on the
foolish. If tho brake has a sufficient
broad surface, there Is llttlo or no danger of Its
damaging the tire, unci It Is one of the most
valuable additions to tho maohlno. Its weight
Is not a matter of serlons objection, because
many light forms can be applied. A foot brake,
while not so good as n hand brake, because the
hand brake permits the wheel to be retarded by
both tho hands and the feet. Is much bolter by
far than no brake at all. If it Is desired
that the brake should not apply to the
tire, some form of band or disk brake
applied to tho hub can bo had. There
aro several forms of brakes applied to the
crank shaft, sprocket whoel, or chain, but these
are objectionable because their power must be
transmitted through the chain, and In case of
the chain breaking orJumplngoff the sprockets
the wheel Is loft wholly without control. The
many acoldenta caused by collisions wttn
bloyole riders have made It necessary to
legislate on bicycle equipments, but It
seems that the legislation has takon tho
least valuable safeguards first. It Is far
moro Important that the rider be able to con
trol his machine absolutely than It is to warn
another tn get out of the n ay. and for this rea
son one effective brako Is worth half a dozen
bells or lamps. The bicycle moves so softly
that In many cases the warning of the lamp or
bell does not allow time to get out of the way,
but simply startles ono nnd makes him Jump,
oftentimes In n direction exactly contrary to
that In which he should for safety."

TALK'S FOOTBALL' CASDIDATKS.
They Wilt n.glo Pruetlea oa Next Tuea
dajr Want to Play the Uaak.ra.
Nrw IlavrN. Sept. 12.-Next Tuesday the
candidates for the Yale football eleven will be
all boused at New Haven. At least such are the
orders of CapU Fred Murphr. About twenty
I candidates will be on band and will drill dally
I until college opens. Sent. 34, a season of onlr
I nine days. This Is to be tbe total practice of
the Yale eleven this year. It Is Indicative of
the policy of CapU Murphy. The team that
I represents Yale this year In the Princeton con
test, Yale's only big game, will be "trained to
the hour," and will not be brought to the pink
of condition until late In the season. Conse
quently, the practice games will be lighter than
usual.
The development of team work will occupy
the attention ot Copt. Marphy and the Yale
coaohers to a considerable extent. Individually
the promising men will not be spared, and they
will be drilled In the One points of tbe play
until "fumbles" and "missing signals and
tackles" will be an evil rsdnced to a minimum.
Hereral man who are regarded as the hope of
Yale's success this fall have been with a couple
of ex-captalna of Yale the past week, Vance
Mccormick, captain of the 'U3 team, has hail
with him at his home at llarrlshurg, l'a., since
Sept. fi, the following leading cnndldatesi
Clarence M. Flncke. 8. K. Gerard, and II. da
Haullrs. Flncke and Do Saulles are quarter
backs, and Gerard Is half or full back. Flncke,
however. Is to be drilled both as quarter or fall,
otherwise he would prohably not have been
called to Ilarrlsburg. as he Is one of the best
?uarters Yale ever had. De Saulles. last rear's
reshman quarter, will, with Flnoke, be Yale's
ma1nlar at quarter. Gerard will be worked up
as a fckllful drop kicker, a point In which Vance
McCormlck excelled.
Ilrlnk Thorns, lat year's Yales captain' has
railed three more leading candidates fpr places
behind the line to him at Dlack Hock, Conn.,
and has outlined to tbern the roo't effective way
In running with the ball and making lnngklcks
under the rules as they stand tills sea-nn. They
are H. F. lienjaraln. It. W. l.ettnn, and Paul V.
Mills. All are flset running hacks. Ilrnjamln,
tne old St. Mark's half baok and last year's
freshman ba k. Is looked on as the coming man
behind the line for next year. He Is a "ten
seconds roan," Is powerful as an ox, stands
six fret tall, and can keep his head well In

Team work will be begun at once, although
notsetcrely. Yale opens Its regular sssslon on

this fall 1 That Is the only question of real live
Interest to the undergraduates of the unl erslty.
It Is feared tbat no game will be arranged. Tbe
decision rests. In a large dagree, with Walter
Camp, the veteran coaoh and adviser. He Is
nut of town and will not return until this week.
Tbe ultimatum of Yale to the Pennsylvania
challenge will not be sent until after Ills return.
Capt. Murphy la slightly favorable tn a game,
but Manager Uarrlson thinks that Yale should
avoid entangllngalllancea la Intercollegiate foot
ball, It Is thought that Camp will be of Manager
Garrison's opinion. Camp wants to return tn an
agreement with Harvard as soon aa the latter Is
willing, and feels that If Yale plays the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania this rear it may be hard to
withdraw at the end of the season.' Ilutthe
average Yale undergraduate wauts to piay the
Uuakers. They admire the sportsmanlike spirit
tliit baa prompted the recent reforms in the
Philadelphia university, and see that Yale
norts more lhannne big match, the game with
I'rlnoeton, for a season. The matter will not be
settled until a meeting of tbe leading Yale
