One Mpriug the Nan Antonio team ap
peared to lie the Mtrongeat In the Texan
League. Every player was a atar, and It
looked ax If the club would romp homo
with the pennant. Never waa such an ng-
attention of eluggera gathered in the Lone
Strir Htate. Even the pltchora were touted
to hnt over .300.

The team was wild and quarreling among
themselves. They were certain that some
one had hoodooed them and stopped their
hltt lug.
One morning, Reilly bad a brilliant idea,
lie summoned the small negro l>oy who
was acting as mascot for the elub and
loaded him down with bats, piling on all
the hnta Itelonglug to the club. It happen

bats they hammered out the pennant and

New York, Dec. 12.—Bobby Walthour,
whs Is teamed with Johnny Bedell In the
fig-day bicycle race at Madison Square
Harden. In another spirited effort cnrly to
day to regain thin Inp they were pennllxnd,
stirred the thousands of spectators to n
state of freniy.
It was stated l»y experts that Walthour
want at a pace of n tulle a minute several
times.
While making the “hoodoo'* turn, neck
and ucek with Breton, of the French-
Italian team. Walthour. bendlug low over
the handlebars, suddenly forgwl ahead -and
Is-fore the Others were aware of It he lind
gained fifty yards. Then tbefo was a burst
of speed ou the part of the other contest
ants never before equaled In the race.
While the crowd Jumped to its feet and
yelled like Indians.
Can’t Gain Loat Lap.
Around and around the track at tremen
dous speed went the bunch In pursuit of
the American champion. The tnaddlug
pace was kept up for three miles, when
Walthour was overhauled. Then Bedell took
his place.
The lap the two hnd been trying for was
not gullied.
The riders were 6$ miles, 7 laps behind
the record of Elkca ami MacFurlsnd, made
In 1900. but were S3 miles uud I Inp Hhcad of
last year's score at the flfty-aecond hour. .
The fact that tho riders were far ahead
of last year's record is due prlucipully to
the constant grind of foreigners, especially
of Breton and Vanonl, who ore constantly
in the lead and sett lug the pace. Not oucc
during the long grind has either of these
two relinquished their hold on the leader
ship.
At s a. m. nil luiil gone 1.033 miles and 3
laps except Walthour and Bedell.
Bobby’s “Kids" Thera.
When Walthour appeared on the track
Thursday afternoon he was greeted by his
w|f# and 4 year-ohl son, Bobbie. Jr., and
Iris little daughter. Viva, who occupied a
liox.
“Papa, papa.’’ cheered flu* little fellow
a* bis father joined the other racers, clap
ping bla tiny bauds gleefully, as he reeog-
nlsad bis father. The three made a very
pretty picture, little Viva’s flowlug curls
clustering about her chubby face with one
of'ber mother's arms n-htlng on her shoul
der, while little Bobbie, Jr., his face barely
showing over the rail, stood up and cheer
ed himself hoarse.
When the crowd l*eoanu» aware of the
presence of Mrs. Walthour and her two
pretty little ones they redoubled their
• beers for Bobby. Kr.
“Go Jf, Bobby." came from all sides,
as'the popular rider set out to hit up the
pace, ana “now's the time to make up
that lap," they shouted encouragingly, but,
although Walthour forced Breton nud Mac
Farland to renewed speed, Ids efforts
brought the coveted lap no nearer.
BEDELL A GAME ONE.
Marvelous indeed Is the pluck shown by

Clip, But Was Overtaken by
Other Riders.
Johnny Bedell, the team mate of Bobby
Walthour. For twenty-four hours, or up
to G a. m. today, not a morsel of food has
passed his Bps.
Bedell Is suffering from ftciito Indiges
tion.
Although suffering Intense agony,' Bedell,
during the past twenty hours, Iion done
most of the pednlllng for his team, but
leaving most of the sprinting to Walthour.
Dr. Cramer, the Garden physician, Is at.
tending Bedell, and Hays that by careful
dieting he will soon recover.
How Lap Waa Lost.
The question of tho exact character of
the accidents that put the partners of Hob
by Wnltboor and John Bedell out of the
six day race nud tho reason that Walthour
and Bedell nre now one lap behind the other
riders In the big rare have been worrying
Atlanta eiithuslusts.
The reason that the two riders are a lap
to tho bad Is easy. That Is the poualty,
exacted under the rules, when two men
drop out and tlielr partners combine In
one team. As a matter of fact, neither
Walthour nor Bedell lost a lap. They were
Just penalized that distance.
A careful |>erusal of the New York papers
does not reveal for a certainty the cause of
the accident that put McLean out of bust.
