    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.,

It is predicted that saddles with sprlngi will
greatly aid In bringing about tho necessary

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. Theso aro only
a few of the usch tho tape can be put to.

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."

numerous others. With such tulcnt as this
tho club will feel fully competent to throw
