10 TOE OMAHA DAIIY" BEE: SUNDAY, MAHCII 25, 11)00. J- IN THE WHEELING WORLD. Some signs of life nro notlceablo In cycle dom hereabouts. Devotees of tho wheel are Kradually thawing out and feeling tho Im pulse of tho approaching season, burnishing their mounts nnd occasionally taking a spin "to seo how tho old thing works." Favorable fweather on tho last two Sundays brought out moderate, crowds of wheelers, most of them on mounts of ancient vintage, though n few new wheels gave tho passing show a modern atmcsphcrc. Doubtless a few weeks moro will bring out "tho wholo push." At present tho signs do not warrant predic tions regarding a revival of wheeling and tho return of tho wheeling multitude of ray '&.V6. Dealers, makers and menders nro doing considerable business and possess a stock of confidence that rivals In at tractiveness their 1900 models. Tho settling cf the light between tho Leagues of American Wheelmen nnd tho Na tional Cycling association on the racing question hns plnccd an entire different aspect on cycling racing this year, and the prospects for the gamo havo been very much brightened by the understanding between tho two controlling bodies. Ah a result, a number of the men who had planned to race abroad have changed their minds and will follow the circuit In this country, nmong tho rldera who will remain being Kddle Halil, who held the National Cycling association chacnplonshlp last year. ".Major" Taylor, tho colored cycling cham pion, according to eastern reports, has re fused n guaranty of $10,000 to ride In Franco during tho coming season on ac count of tho fact that the contract called for Sunday raelng. Taylor has persistently Tcf uncd to rnco In this country on Sunday on account of his religious feelings, nnd Ills refusal to raco abroad on that day, there fore, Is not surprising. Tho cycling men In St. Louis gained a de cided victory by the bill which has Just hecn passed by tho city council, requiring tho sprinkling during tho coming season to bo dono with a perforated Pipe device, nnd the parsago of tho sprinkling carts over tho Btrcets nt least four times a day Instead of two deluging trips. The bicycle men havo liccn fighting for theso Improvements over since bicycling becamo so popular In St. Louis, but did not recelvo much encourage ment until tho present plan wns adopted. The new regulation will prevent the flooding of the streets. While the breaking of a single spoke on n bicycle wheel will not make an apprecia ble dlffcrcnco In tho running of a man'hlhe, thnt spoke should at onco bo replaced. Tho break plnccs a certain strain, on tho twin spoke, nnd when tho latter gWci .way It would almost certainly put tho rim out of truo, In which case something'. must' be dono or tho tiro will bo ruined by tho wheel rubbing against tho forks nt each revolu tion. Women cyclists and tandem riders nro nmong thoso who will dcrlvo spoclnl benefit from tho uso of coaster brake devices. This will probably not bo fully realized until tho regular riding season Is woll undor way. It is as a brake that tho device will appeal most strongly to these classes. Men on singles who aro capable nnd careful riders ero ablo to get along without a brake. To nlno In every ten women, howover, brakes aro considered a practical necessity. Tho brakes fitted to tho average woman's ma chlno last year wero Inadequate when It camo to descending long nnd steep hills. Lever brakes attached to tho handlebar tiro tho hands without doing much moro than checking tho speed of tho machine nnd aid ing In back-pedaling to keep It under con trol. The same applies with oven- greater force to tandems. No cyclist who has ever ridden on a tandem -will deny that It Is dangorous riding without effective nnd satis factory brakes. Tho plcasuro of tandem rid ing In sections whero hills aro encountered is marred simply becauso of tho physical strength required to keep tho mnchlnb under control. In tho coaster brako Introduced this year riders will havo a check to ex cessive speed -which Is simple, 'practical and thoroughly efficient nnd satisfactory. Thero nro brakes nn tho market that havo stood thorough tests, particularly thoso for tan dems. It was pointed out nt tho tlmo coaster brakes wero first Introduced that If a brako failed to -work disastrous results would follow, but that troublo has been remedied through attention to strengthen ing them. From, oxpcrls como suggestions for changes In the construction of saddles to conform with tho coastor brako device. Tho usn of tho latter, it Is contended, will bring a demnnd for moro comfortable sad dles. It Is not denied that tho entire weight of tho rider does not rest on tho saddle. A largo proportion Is carried on tho pertain and n smaller portion on tho handle bars. With the now dovlco. when n rider Is coasting his entire weight will rest on tho saddle. Any movement to throw a portion of tho weight on the pedals will bring about tho application of tho brake. In resting his entire wolght on tho saddlo tho shocks of tho road nro communicated to him with surprising dcilnttoncss. Experts bcllovo that to overcomo this the construc tion of , saddles must bo changed. They should ho broader nnd shorter, shapod to ohvlnto harmful and unnecessary pressure, nnd with a base so constructed that tho., The Triumph of Love is Happy, Fruitful Marriage.

It is predicted that saddles with sprlngi will greatly aid In bringing about tho necessary comforts. What the rider wants Is a saddlo that ho can tilt on and yet not feet in an unnatural position. There Is a tendency toward light chains on machines this season. When chain-driven bicycled -wero first Introduced economy In weight was rarely considered, apparently. Tho first safeties built wero equlpifcd with ponderous chains. As they wero being ap plied to an entirely new use, makcrn resolved to toko no risks in tho matter of breakage. Somo of these early chains wero three fourths of an Inch wide. At present they aro narrow strips of metal as compared with those In uso ten years ago. An examination of tho I'jOO models shows that tho one-quarter-Inch chain la rarely n;cn on anything but ii tandem. Three-sixteenth and even ono-clghth-lnch chains seem to havo the call. These light chains have been thoroughly tested and dcalors will guarantee that they will stand tho strain aa well as a chain rvlco as heavy. Thtips chains are much moro carefully mado and freni a superior grade of metal. Whllo they will not break, they must nccc-ssarlly wear out more rapidly than tho wider chains. It has often been asked of tho touring cyclist what Is cenildercd tho most uss ful article to effect a repair, and Invaria bly tho nnswer Is: "If you have somo tiro tnpc In your tool bag you enn always feel pretty safe." Every rider has discovered that tho tnpo Is useful for -many purposes ithcr than that of binding n puncture. It ins been discovered that next to tho wrench tire tapo Is almost lndlspcnaable. Tho tapo can be used to fasten loose grips or be wound around handlebars as a sub stitute for grips. When a nut has been so much burned nt Its edges thnt tho wrench will not tako hold a piece of tape wound around the nut will form a temporary shoulder, so that tho wrench will catch the nut and turn It. When n spoke Is broken, to keep It from interfering with others a piece of tiro tnpo wound around tho broken part will keep It In place. When tiro cement re fuses to hold nnd tho tiro "creeps" tapo will effect nn Immediate remedy. For cut fingers or toes tiro tapo Is a first-class sub stitute for adhesive plaster.

As a consequence, it is expected that before tho season closes.

DISCOVERER Of A PRODIGY Hill Rrcenr, Who llrouulit Out t'liiim- plon Wrestler Wlilntler, l)e liiirtn from Omnliii. Dob Greene, who for tho greater part of twenty-three years has recognized Omaha ns his home, departed Saturday night to tnke up his residence In his old stumping ground at Peoria, HI., where he goes Into tho liquor business in partnership with his brother-in-law. Intellectually Dob Is far In ndvanco of tho majority of his fcllowcrafts- men and In his time has been a man of consequence. Twenty years ago ho wns nn actlvo and Influential republican ward poll tlclan and was once unsuccessfully the can didate of his party for sheriff. Weighing something over 2S0 pounds, his mental pro portions were molded to correspond. Genial nnd affable, ho was a devotee of literature and has not only dallied with the muse on bis own account, but by the old of a re markablo memory, he has famlllnrizcd him self with tho writings of the world's best literary men. He has since childhood manl tested a prodigious memory, and vouches that ho can rcclto more prose and poetry than any man in the world. During tho past two years ho has complied a book containing about 150 of the best of tho many works he has committed to memory which ho hopes soon to publish. It Is chiefly as a promoter of legitimate sports that ho has won distinction and his proudest achlcvo mont In that line wns his discovery of the onco famous world's champion wrestler, Clarence Whistler. Speaking upon that subject ho said recently: "It was In 18" that I found nnd brought Clarence Whistler out. I was keeping saloon on Twolfth street between Douglas and Dodge and had a concert hall In con nectlon with It. Whistler was then nn cm ployo nt tho Union Pacific foundry and was engaged In breaking Iron. Ho used to como Into my place to hear tho music. One night he was leaning with his elbow upon tho bar when a bartender chanced to catch hold of his arm. A moment later tho bar tender called my nttentlon to tho size of tho young man's arm and I Investigated it. It was a monster In size and as hard as a rock. At my Invitation ho stripped and showed tho finest set of muscles I ever saw I asked how hti would like to be an athlete Ho replied that that had been ills ambition for some time, but that his means would not permit it. At his Invitation I next day visited the foundry with a newspaper man named Hurlbut . Whistler picked up nn Iron bar weighing 1,250 pounds, which ho carried for about fifty feet. "I at onco put him Into training, and in about two weeks along camo Luc Inn .Mart, tho great French wrestler, traveling under tho namo of Andrew Chrlstol. Ho stopped at tho Metropolitan. I cnlled upon him nnd told him I had a novlco upon whom I waB willing to stake about $200. Chrlstol looked at mo In amazement, saying: 'And you say you havo n novice, whom you wish to match against tho great Chrlstol T' Tho match was easily mado and thoy mot in what is now tho Nebraska Music hall. As soon as tho word was given thoy rushed together and Whistler simply picked tho Frenchman up and throw blm clear up out of sight among tho flics above tho stngo. When he came down he alighted upon his shoulder, breaking It. Whistler's famo was nt onco established. In 18S0 I took him to New York and matched him against Muldoon. Thoy wrestled eight hours and forty minutes without a fall, and finally tbo police turned the lights out upon them. This was done to savo 'Muldoon, who was a member of tho pollca force. Whistler was the best catch-as-catch-can wrestler tho world has ever seen. In 1SS2 'I bad him upon tho road, along with Muldoon, Chrlstol and four others, and took them nil over tho United States. Whllo on this trip I had n standing offer of $5 a minute to any man who stood beforo Whistler, and no ono over lastod more than two minutes, although ho mot many good men. In all bis career ns n wrestler ho nover lost a match. Ho died In Melbourne, Australia. In 1884. Ho had gono thero to wrestle with Prof. Miller, whom ho throw, winning $8,000. His death was due to pneu monia. Ho had been out ono nlsht with n party of sporting men drinking, but was not intoxicated. Along toward morning ho sat down on a doorstep. A storm camo up and In tho morning ho was found uncon scious. Ho died within forty-olght hours, ased 25 years."

Tho point Is emphasized that tne only cxpenso Incident upon member ship will bo for tho acquirement of boards una men nnd a number of sets havo al ready been offered for the purpose, so that this outlay will be minimized. Tho hotel management has generously offered tho uso of rooms, A number of veteran players who have formerly made the Young Men's Chrlstlnn association rooms their headquarters, havo Interested themselves In tho project and no doubt Is entertained as to its success. Mnny others who have not previously had on op portunity for play becauso of a lack of antagonists have communicated to this column their desire to affiliate with such nn organization. Tho most noteworthy players In tho club will probably bo George E. Parker, vlco president of tho Natlonnl Uank of Commerce, F. W.
