In a modest home in Bast Norwicfh
avenue, Columbus, Ohio, lives a
'bicycle celebrity. He doesn't suspect
that he is a celebrity—never has
suspected it, in fact—and this of it
self adds its share of unique interest
But no other bicycle racer ot a couple
of decades ago ever accomplished
more desperate feats, or drew to him
self more genuine admirers for clean
and honorable sport Let this then
introduce the famous Diavolo ot the
nineties, perfecter of looping the
loop thrills, and winner of countless
racing laurels—Conn Baker.
Baker is a living denial of the
belief that one man can't do more
than
one thing well. Before he en
tered the racing Held to the early
nineties, he was an artist of more
fhan ordinary ability. His scenic and
animal paintings were attracting wide
attention. But he wanted money to
study the greatest masters.
Then suddenly a new and daring
Dtavolo appeared in the circus
world. Behorned, and bedecked in
flaring hues, he would sweep down a
long incline and loop around the
"circle ci death" like a flash of light
ning, while the circus throngs gasp
ed. One single nervous moment a
single unsteady move and—"well,
everybody could imagine the rest
But this new "devil" of the tented
arena seemed to have no "nerves to
know no tear. Day after day, month
after month he sbot like a rifle bul
let through the air, swung headlong
around the inside of tbe huge arc,
bead down, and then shot away again
out of the arc and to safety. In the
circus wiorid this man was known as
J. C. Carter.
THIS
DAREDEVIL STUNT

Conn Baker, Now Citizen of Colum
bus, Ohio, Started Feat of

Bicycle.
WELL RET BERED ACT
Young Ohloan Only Rider Wfco Es
caped Without Injury
Wanted Money to Study
Painting.
One day the Columbus townspeople
rubbed their eyes in blinking aston
ishment The reckless
daredevil
was none other than their friend, tlhe
modest animal pointer. Conn BaSier.
After traveling through the United
'States, Mr. -Baker appeared and won
praise for his daring in practically
every part of the world. Princes and
potentates showered him with gifts
and compliments. He came to know
personally many men whose names
have since been on every tongue.
King Edward of England, then prince
of Wales, Lord Kitchener, General
Christian DeWet and Zulu Chief
Silwanl were among them. Baker's
"Log Cabin' near his home in Co
lumbus Is filled with mementos from
famous men.
In a recent interview, Mr. Baker
spoke interestingly of the past. He
considers Arthur Augustus Zimmer
man to have been the greatest of all
cyclists. Next to him he classes
Sanger, then Bald, Tyler, Windle,
Johnson, Cooper, etc.
"I have beaten them all except
Zimmerman," Mr. Baker admitted
modestly, "and," he added, "one of
the greatest moments of my life was
when I ran second to 'Zim.' I do not
mean to say that I classed as high as
Sanger, Bald and same of the others.
But I always managed to win in my
home state (Ohio). I followed the
national circuit during its best years
and you can bet the game was hot.
You had to ride against 40 to 50 of
the best in the world, all trained to
the minute.
"I was best in fast finishes and on
indoor tracks I was practically un
defeated. Largely to this trainins»do
I attribute my success in 'looping
the loop' on a bicycle. I am the only
one who ever came through this
without serious or fatal injury."
air. Baker, during his circus en
gagements in South Africa and the
far east, received besides a large
weekly salary a percentage of the
general circus receipts. His ride
required only 4 2-5 seconds, and In
proportion to actual time of service
he undoubtedly then was the highest
salaried person In the world.
"This year will see a general re
vival of cycling and bicycle racing,
and properly understood and kept
clean, it is the greatest sport in the
world," he says.

DAILY GATE OIT?
UTTLE TO FEAR
DR. SUMNER SAYS
Head of Iowa State Board of Health
Does Not Look for Any Epi
demic of Infantile Par
alysla Hers.
TELLS OF PREVENTIVE
Children Who Have Been Exposed
Should Have Nostrils Treated
With Hydrogen Perox
ide Solution.
"The public of Iowa has been edu
cated as much as It Is necessary that
it be educated on the subject of lm
fantlle paralysis. I think that there
need be no fear of an epidemic of
that disease In the state and it Is
not even necessary to send out a
warning, if th© literature sent on by
the state board of health has been
preserved," G. H. Sumner, secretary
of the state board of health, stated
last night.
"It is really the wrong time of the
year for infantile paralysis to break
out," he declared. "It usually ap
pears In August and September. The
supposition is that the disease Is
more prolific In very dry and hot
weather."
"Experiments show that the saliva
of a child that has the disease rubbed
in the nostrils of a monkey conveys
the disease to the monkey. If our
Instructions are followed when cases
develop there will be no epidemic.
There must be an absolute quaran
tine of all cases. All children who
have been where the disease is should
have their nostrils and mouths treat
ed with a 1 per cent solution of hydro
gen peroxide.
Easy to Diagnose.
Dr. Sumner asserted that although
cases of Infantile paralysis are rare
to the average doctor, there should
be no trouble In diagnosing tbe dis
ease. He said that the symptoms are
headaches, high fever, and partial
paralysis, especially of the limbs, and
that these symptoms appearing in a
child are almost certain indications
of this disease.
"In 1910 infantile paralysis ap
peared In epidemic form in Iowa.
During that year it was general all
over the country, particularly In Mas
sachusetts, Nebraska and Minnesota.
At that time a careful study was
made of the disease by the Iowa state
board of health and a bulletin de
scribing the disease was issued .which
i™« become an authority on the sub
ject
8end Out Warning.
There were C04 cases of the dis
ease in Iowa and 160 deaths result
ing from it in 1910. A careful study
was made and the bulletin issued con
tained a definition of the disease, and
gave a list of the symptoms, the his
tory and recommendations for treat
ment. It was sent to all physicians,
nurses and embalmers, in the state
and was scattered broadcast Over
40,000 copies were printed in three
editions.
Dr. Sumner Is directing the work
of the state board of health from a
bed in the Methodist hospital at Des
Moines, suffering from a sprained hip.
The hip was first injured over two
months ago. After a practical recov
ery the hip was sprained again on
June 6, since which time he has re
mained in the hospital.
BOYLE REFUSES
TO PLAY GAME
Anson Boys Won't Make up Contest
With Muskies That President
Justice Threw Out
MUSCATINE, Iowa, July 7.—Be
cause of Manager Frank Boyle's ap
peal to the board of directors of the
Central association from the decision
of President M. E. Justice in throw
ing out the disputed game which was
won by Marshalltown as a result of
the Flanagan-Blank scrap, there will
be no double-header today as sched
uled. Announcement to that effect
was made by Manager ESgan yester
day morning, following a communi
cation from President Justice who
stated that while his decision favored
the Muskies, he oould not compel
Boyle to replay the game until the
beard of directors had heard the
case.
In accordance with the league reg
ulations Manager Egan served notice
on the Anson manager yesterday that
the discarded game would be played
off in a double bill today. Boyle's
answer was a refusal to play and
BTgnn immediately notified President
Justice, whose view of the situation
wag received yesterday.
Leader One Day.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, July 7„—Joe
Jackson held the leadership of the
American league batsmen Just one
day. Joe only got one hit off Nick
Cullop, who won his eighth straight
victory for the Yankees yesterday.
That made Jackson's average .380.
Meanwhile Tris Speaker rounded out
a single and a double off Red Sox
hurlers, making his percentage .383.
