Luck in Basebs
teams for

A feature of losing teams for
tunes is the string of IL luck which
follows them, while Just the opposite
lot falls to the team which is on a
winning squirt. The axiom, says Sport
ing Life, is as true as that smoke pre-
cedes fire. A losing team viii drive
line hits right into felder's hands,
while the victorious team will drop lit
tie easy flies between field, send two
baggers just few inches inside the
foul lines, or get their grounders as
nearly halfway between infielders as
though the track of the ball had first
been laid out by surveyor. Again, a
losing teams error may cost several
runs. while the winning team may
make several errors. but just at . time
gheu they cost nothing.

THE BICYCLE CRANK9,

The bicycle fever has invaded Swe-
den. A club Of ladies has been organ
lied there, and they are reported as en-
thusiastic.
EIDE again holds the worlds track REQ
ords at the distances ranging from if
teen to twentyfour miles. It's Osmond's
turn now once more.
An effort will be made TO have some
fast riders attempt to lower the one-mile
trotting record on triplet bicycle at
the Hartford bicycle races, July 4.
1t is said that Shadbolt, Of Brooklyn,
n. Y, rode 1864 miles between May
90, 1891, and May 80, 1892 This is a
record for years riding.
Hoyland Smith will have go at Ede's
record Of "a miles in an hour at $50 on
the evening of July S. The attempt
will be made at Hartford Immediately
after the tournament.
Chairman Bunnell, Of the Pennsyl-
vania division racing board, has publicly
forecasted the mile record of this year
as Pm. 9s-, says the Wheel, and further,
that the deed will be done on the ndv
Philadelphia track.
The ten-mile championship of
America will be decided July On Man
haitian field at race meet under the
direction of the Riverside wheelrnen.
Berlo, Windle and Murphy will ride,

DR.. J. c. Mccoy, owner of the kite
shaped track at Kirkwood, Del, will

who can break the worlds record for
a mile on his track. The contest will
be open to all American wheelmen.
Quite recently the Anfield club fifty
mile road race across the water was
won in hours and Sc minutes and so
seconds. Pretty lively going, that.
But it is not as rapid as Broadbent's
riding in Australia, for he has just gone
the distance in 2 hours IS minutes
and so seconds.
Sunol's record of a, mile in EOS has
never been surpassed by bicycle riders.
". T. Murphy and mate, with flying
start, will soon make an attempt to
lower It and make new mile record
for the wheel Zimmerman made
quarter mile in 80 seconds, which leads
the best quarter Of Sunol by ~ SEQ
onds.
1t is urged by some that century
riding is merely fad Well, what OF
it? Suppose it is. Astheticism, the
study Of Shakespeare and Browning,
Buddhism, are fads; but has no good
come of it all? Yet even if absolutely
no good whatever is to be extracted
from century riding, and if the fad
serves to give pleasure to five hundred
or more young men and women, why
condemn it? If you don't like it, leave
