1921 WAS BANNER YEAR FOR CYCLES That Amateur bicycle racing has grown in popularity the last five years, is revealed in a report released recently by the Cycle Trades of America, Inc., of New York, the central headquarters of the bicycle industry. This organization, among its other functions, presents prizes for road and track races where no admission fee is charged to the general public to witness the events. The report says, more races were run, more riders participated and more spectators witnessed the events in 1921, than in any previous year. An outstanding feature is the fact that less prizes were given than in 1920. Especially noteworthy was the number of race meets run by newspapers, Y. M. C. A.'s, Boy Scout organizations, schools and social clubs. The interest of people, not in the bicycle trade in bicycle racing as a sport, indicates sound development making for the continued welfare of this activity in the future. In 1916, when the organization was first formed, prizes were supplied for 77 race meets. An indication of how the sport took hold, is evidenced by the fact that the following year showed a total of 167 races, with 210 for 1918. The season of 1919 showed 305 as the figures, while 1920 totalled 371. So successful were the previous race meets that in 1921 the number of races leaped to 429. A number of promoters did not give full particulars when reporting results of the events to headquarters but the individual entries in the races in 1921 that were properly reported, showed a total of 22,239, double the figures of the previous year. The number of spectators witnessing the races last year is estimated at 1,000,000. These figures, however, do not include attendance at professional tracks. The formulation of plans for the National Amateur Championship races are now under way, according to the officials of the Amateur Bicycle League of America, Inc. and it will be a toss as to whether Chicago or Atlantic City will be the scene of the affair. 3-YEAR-OLD GONE TWO HOURS, RETURNS The little three-year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Ikle Baxter on South Bush-st., disappeared from her home about 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and caused much anxiety on the part of her parents.

Roberts was at the Junior high this morning looking up the delinquents who fall to make a daily appearance in their school rooms.

Chitty are in receipt of a letter from her telling "how it is done in St. Louis," and done to the advantage of the hotels, rather than the guests. Mrs. Chitty and 13-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, who is an invalid, are in St. Louis, where the little girl will be given a course of treatment in the MacLean Orthopedic hospital. In making reservations at the hotel where they will remain, Mrs. Chitty was obliged to pay ten weeks in advance on their quarters, at the rate of $17.50 per week, before she could secure the room. St. Louis hotel men are apparently in the business for the money and will see that they get it in advance.
