...only oldtime bicycle rider who has become important in promoting races, many other men now-famed in quieter trades were once pedalers. Some are: George Collett, father of National Woman's Golf Champion Glenna Collett; the late Albert Champion, A. C. Spark Plug man; Howard ("Poke") Freeman, cartoonist on the Newark Evening News; Worthington Longfellow Mitten, Davenport, Iowa, builder of bicycles. And many men still famed above everything else for their cycling days have done well in quieter trades. Frank Kramer, 18 times U. S. sprint champion, is police commissioner of East Orange, N. J. Maurice Brocco, for whom...
