MUCH PRAISE GIVEN GARDEN CITY WHEELMEN’S TEAM - San Jose Mercury-news, 11 May 1904

TOURING THE VALLEY AWHEEL.

R. H. Deifenbacher and Carl L. Showalter, both of whom are members of the Garden City cyclers, were in town yesterday on a pleasure trip, having ridden down the valley on their wheels. The two young men are friends of Bert Martin of this city, who was at one time a member of the Garden City wheelmen. Messrs. Showalter and Diefenbacher rode at San Jose some time ago in the team that defeated the Capital City wheelmen in a fifty mile relay race. They are here for the purpose of promoting the interest of wheeling and would like to see a club formed. Mr. Showalter is connected with the San Jose Mercury.

The home boys look forward to easily adding the new cup to their already large collection. The ones who will ride as the home team are "Tessie" Waibel, Merle Gray, John Berryessa, Robert Diefenbacher and P. Maggini. These riders were members of last year's relay teams, and it is expected that they will win in the coming handicap. A ball game will also be one of the day's features at Centerville, after which the entire company will partake of a feast of pie and watermelon at the hotel.

Who will ride for the Garden City Wheelmen Sunday in the big relay.

THE annual 100-mile relay race around the bay is but five days off. Judging from the showing made by the Garden City Wheelmen in the past, they will probably carry off the honors Sunday. Captain Dermody has selected the following 10 men to represent the local wheelmen Sunday: J. Berryessa, R. Diefenbacher, S. Maggini, C. Showalter, P. Maggini, B. Murphy, W. Waible, Merle Grey, C. Burnett and W. Chaboya. All these youngsters have had previous experience in road racing. Many are known as being among the fastest amateurs on this coast.
