She Wins the Six Days Bicycle
Contest, With Many Miles to
Spare.
Special TO the Globe.
New YORK, Feb. 16.-A heavy rain
storm. which set in this afternoon and
still continues with undated vigor. did
not prevent a large crowd from as
sembling at the Madison Square garden
this evening, TO witness the close of the
six-days' bicycle contest. All of the
racers appeared few minutes before 8
D. m. Miss Stanley was leading at 8
p. m. Her record showed her far ahead
of the crowd. Miss Won Blumen was a
good second, with 564 miles to her credit.
Between Miss Oakes and Miss Smallor
there was a lively contest for third
place. The former had covered sol miles
at the hour named and the latter 493.
The next competitor, Miss Lewis, was
20 miles behind. The fight for third
place aroused much enthusiasm, and
every squirt on the part of the contest
ants was loudly applauded. Among the
others there were no special efforts
made TO best one another. Occasionally,
however, one of the stragglers would
come in contact with some of the lead
ers, and for lap or two a lively brush
would ensue. During these spurtS the
contestants were loudly applauded.

PLAYERS MISBAPS.
Some of the Accidents That Have
Made Players Timid.

The second baSeman of club is prob
ably more exposed to danger than a
player in any other position, says the
Sporting News, and the injuries they
receive are almost the occurrence of
every game. A first-claSs man for the
position is hard to find, as there are so
few players capable of filling the place,
which is conceded to be the most inn
portant OIL the diamond. The League
has but one or two players who rank as
star second basemen, while the Asso-
citation has four in McPhee, Bierbaer,
Robinson and Greenwood. Players who
fill the position must be skilled in
avoiding base runners, for if they
are not they are liable to be terribly
spiked or otherwise injured. 1t was
but recently that the second baseman of
an Eastern club died from an injury re-
ceiyed while playing the position, and
record. If base runners we're allowed to
overrun the base the dangers of the pO-
sition would be greatly lessened. Nc
Phee. is probably the most skillful
player in the association in avoiding
base runners. as it seldom occurs that
he meets with an injury. In game in
Brooklyn last summer two men were
severely injured in playing the position.
The CincinnatiS were the opposing
team. Tommy Burns started in to play
the position, but in attempting to head
McPhee off at the base IN the sixth inn
ing on a low-thrown ball he was badly
spiked in the arm, and was forced to
take another position. Smith, Brook
lyn's crack short stop, was moved over
to the base, and in the latter part of the
game sustained an injury that laid him
up for the balance of the season. By
chance McPhee again happened to
be the base runner. Bid was go
ing to second at full speed, and
as Smith reached forward to catch
a thrown ball on the line the former
slid into him, breaking bone in his
dent, and the Reds second baSeman
was in no way to blame. The Brooklyn
management have announced that they
Will play Collins in the position the
coming season, and some affirm that he
will not be a success, because he is too
timid. The point raised against him is
a strong one, and will probably make
him unsuitable for the place. While
Collins was with Louisville he was
Knocked insensible, playing the position,

ticeable ever since that he avoids run
ner. Mcclellan, the old second base
man of the Brooklyns, was ruined in
very similar manner at Staten Island
some two years ago in game with the
Metropo!ltans. Hoibert was on first
base and started for second. Peoples,
the catcher. threw the ball down to
head him him. AS McCielland stepped
forward to catch it on the very line,
Holbert's knee struck him full in the
center of the forehead. Mac was
| knocked unconscious, and was unable
to resume his place in the team for sew
eral days.

other S10O bill and pointed out to him
where his authorities were weak. The
efficient town marshal was overcome
with confusion, and to show how deeply
grieved he was he invited the party to
take drink. Mr.. Skakel accepted re
luctantly. In half an hour the town

bate. He was hurled down stairs.
At the conclusion of the waltz he
crawled out of barrel and spoke to
Parson Davies, who was moving toward
the train.
"Come along with me-" cried the
Parson, grabbing his arm. "There's
man over here who wants to give you

The efficient town marshal hurried to
the train. He was fairly inside the
coach when eight large men grabbed
him and rushed hlm to the baggage ear.

HERR GETS HUFFY
In Discussing His Salary With

tended to do with him next year, says
Pritchard in the Sporting Life.

1t is said that Herr left Won der Ahe'S

PITTsBURG, Feb. 16.-"I do not see

to-day, "Al Spaldlng can play men un-

Kansas City to put my full team in the

talks of holding these men away
from US and playing them on
league and association grounds. 1t
seems like nonsense. and surely it is a
violation OF one of the first principles of
base ball law. The tourists have only
verbal contract to play in this city,
and if we were so minded we could re-
fuse to allow them to play on our
grounds. That refusal would carry
with it more than appears Oh its face,
because, under the law. they could not
play on any ground within four miles

TIE Nl'AULIFFES.
A Family Containing Many Noted
PuSiIiStS.


How many people are there following
prize fighting who know how great a
family of gladiators the McAuliffes are?
Half a century ago Tim McAuliffe was
one of the best known boxers in the two
countries of England and Ireland. His
meetings with the "Sprig of Myrtle"
were duly chronicled, but they have no
place in Fistiania because that august
authority did not notice any battles OF
men less than 1876 pounds. Twenty
years ago Teddy McAuliffe was
in the front rank of pugiiists, and there
are men living who can attest to his
cleverness. and even as late as ten years
ago the name was great factor in spar
ring exhibitions. There was Mike Nc
Aulitfe, who was a well-knOwn Hiber-
nian character actor. and DR.. Johnny
McAulitfe. who was an amateur,
although there was no such thing as the
separation of the classes in his time.
Had there been he would have been
champion. The unfortunate one of the
family is Joe McAu!itfe, who fell into
obscurity just as he had reached the
top of the ladder of fame. Had he
beaten Jackson it would have been a
great day for the McAuliffes. 1t now

Yorks will need all their strength when
they face our club. For batting. base
rLnring and fielding l do not think that
there is any Outfield in he countryt
that can beat ours. O'Brien,
left field; Corkhill, center, and
Burns in right field, will prob
ably to be the arrangement of the team
for next season. F0utz will be on first,
and may occasionally pitch. Collins
will cover second. Our third baseman
will be Pnckney. For pitchers we
have Terry, Hughes, Caruthers, L0vett
and FOutz; catchers. Bushong, Clarke
and Visner. The club that fear the
most in the battle is the Athletic. Then
you may be sure that if the st. Louis
club will have that man Cudworth in
the field they will be as hard to beat as
they have been in the past. One man
that we were sorry to lose in the past
season was Redford. He is as fine a
fielder as stands on the field. but we
could not use him because he could not
play in Sunday games. There has been
a great deal of talk about the captaincy,
but there has been nothing definitely
determined as yet. will have talk
with Mr.. Byrne before the selection is
made public. We have several good
men who would make frst-class cap
tains, so that we will not lack for field

frankly that unless he is willing to ac-
cept further reduction than is con-
tanned in his proposition, he may con-
slider his release for sale. George says
he can secure better terms in either
Minneapolis or Omaha than is offered
him by Milwaukee, and he mas authority
from the latter club to negotiate for his
release. Winkleman called at my Office
few evenings ago aud asked my advice
as to how he should act. l found his
mind fixed on getting the highest salary
possible, without regard to the stability
OF the club Offering it, so the consulta-
ton availed nothing. He had similar
interview with the president of the
league, with like result. Young pitch
ers who are paid fancy salaries at the
tail-end of a season are sometimes un-
reasonable enough to think that their
ability is questioned because they are
asked to sign the following season for
an amount less than that which they re-
ceived previously. Winkleman is a
pretty fair player, and I trust he will
make reasonable terms with good
club. He has promising future be-
fore him, and as his personal habits are
said to be excellent his Washington
friends hope TO see him eventually pro-
NOTED to the League or American asso-
citation,

Opposition to sabbath Games in
Sioux City Dying Out.

SlOuX OIVy DyI Outs
Special to the Globe.
SIOUX CITY, Feb. 16.-There has been
some talk here and one or two towns
that are jealous of Sioux City's base
ball team have said that we would have
no club this year because there was
opposition to Sunday games. This is
all bosh. The preachers found that a
good many people who are good citizens
seven days in the week, were of the
opinion that it was not much of a sin to
watch a game of base ball Sunday, and
the talk OF determined opposition
has about all died out There
has been some trouble, too, in
supplying money to meet the
advances that nearly every player
signed has demanded, from $500 to $3.50
each, but the finance committee has
been at work during the week, and the
stock subscriptions have been increased
to 5000, and there is enough more in
sight to make an even $4,000. Sioux
City will not only have base ball club,
but she will have one that will reflect
credit on the city. The club is much
stronger one than the one hastily
organized in the middle of the
season last year. This year there
will be no LOVettS OF SOWderS
or Staleys, hardly any of the crack
pitchers before whom the batsmen
Stood little show. The heavy batsmen,
too, are gone. McCleer, johnson, AL
