Polar Explorer weIlman's Bicycle.


The bicycle is now used by policemen,
fremen. postmen and soldiers, but Walter
Wellman, who has started for the arctic re
gions. will be the first explorer to use the
bicycle In quest of the north pole. The
wheel WAS invented by A. Il. Firth, was
successfully used upon the ice in Chicago
and Mr.. Wellman requested its shipment
to Norway to accompany the explorers on
their journey northward. The machine is
built upon the lines OF the bicycle, Of steel
tubing and aluminium throughout, and is
attachable TO any safety in a few minutes.
An additional fork is run from the front
fork of the bicycle frame to the forward
runner, thence TO the rear runner and up 10
the bicycle frame again.
The weight of the rider is thus entirely
upon the runners or skates, which are made
of the lightest material possible. The power
Of propulsion is furnished by the driving
gear of the bicycle, the chain gear being at
tached TO a propelled drive wheel set in a
movable frame piyoted at the back Of the
machine, allowing this drive wheel to be
constantly upon the surface of the ice or
snow and thus overcoming all irregulari-
ties met. The only pressure upon this
drive wheel is its own weight and that dis
tributed TO il through the action of the
rider upon the pedals. The angle Of strain
from the chain may be so adjusted and
changed by raising or lowering the pivoted
drive wheel frame that the friction upon
the driving mechanism is brought to the
lowest possible point.
There Is a great International raco toward
the arctic explorers goal this year betw twcen
Peary and Weilmau OF America, Jackson
of England and Nansen Of Norway, aud
every bicycliat az least will wish Wellman
to get the pole.

sie. II have missed any pitcher who In 90
years has earned the right TO be rated first
class, it is because Of an error in my judg-
ment. Thus in 25 years % pitchers have
lived and played professionally who earned
q right TO be rated first class. And even
some of the % shone in the light of first
magnitude for only year or two.
IL | were asked who are the best four
pitchers playing ball this year, would not
hesitate a moment in my reply. 1t would
be Rusie, Nichols Killen and Young. Take
away these four pitchers from the League
list Of over 40, and doubt whether one OF
the large number remaining has right to
be ranked first class.
OF the four Killen has just stepped for
ward to the side Of Rusie, Nichols and
Young. He made his reputation by his
work for the pittsburg club last season.
He came forward with meteoric sudden
ness and demonstrated his ability to remain
near the head of the class.
Killen is particularly valuable because
be is left handed pitcher. Such pitcher
who has control of the ball has always
been considered more valuable than even
the best of right handlers Among the
pitchers in my list above who pitched left
handed are Richmond, Ramsey, Kilroy and
ers ever attained prominence. or the four
Ramsey was undoubtedly the greatest.
Had he let liquor and other forms of dissi-
patton alone. he would have come very close
to taking rank as the greatest pitcher who
ever faced batsman.
Killen is less than "a years old, and he
has the best part Of his professional career
before him. With proper care there should
be brilliant future on the ballfleld In
store for him. He was born In Pittsburg
and first played ball there; but, as is gener-
ally the case, he had 20 go away from home
to get professional recognition. He began
pitching for pay in the Michigan league
and went to Minneapolis and Milwaukee in
1890 and 1891. In 1899 he had worked his
way into the National league as member
of the Washington club, for which he pitch
ed 30 games Seven of the So were against
the Cleveland team, and he won six Of
them.
After four years OF wandering the young
man convinced his fellow townsmen that
he was ball player, and one particularly
after the style they needed In their business
lt the forks OF the Allegheny and Monon-
gahela. The hated foe of the Pittsburg
club was the Cleveland team. Here was
Pittsburg youth who had almost single
handed beaten the Clevelands six times
out Of seven trials. Pittsburg must have
him back home at any price. So they ac-
cepted the Washington's price-a trade for
Catcher Farrell And that is how Killen
stepped into professional greatness among
the friends of his native city. This year he
Is expected to exceed even the good work
which he did for Pittsburg last year.
In recent game between the varsity
nine of the University Of Pennsylvania and

Twiriers Have Won the Right To BE Call
ed Truly oreat-James DevIin the Most
Remarkable Pitcher OF the Century.
One OF the requisites most necessary to a
baseball teams success Is good pitching
There may be a nine OF terrific batsmen,
excellent aelders and feet base runners. but
n the pitching be poor, good work with the
bat. in the field or on bases Is often nulli-
fed by the weakness in the box.
First class pitchers have Always been to
the profession u baseball what star TRACE
dians have been TO the American stage, with
this exception-that whereas they appear
almost as seldom on the stage of action
they remain much less time. The great
pitchers who have arisen to fame and lasted
any reasonable length Of time have been
very few and can be counted without the
aid Of three figures. From Brainerd Co
Rusie Is a period OF little more than score
of years. In this time let US see how many
pitchers lived who earned the right TO be
called stars OF the first magnitude.
Brainerd himself was king OF his class
and time. His hand never passed above
the plane of his belt in delivering the ball.
His delivery was purely Of the underhand
kind. II was "pitch" in the real sense Of
the word, and not throw" as is the de-
livery of this day. Yet he had wonderful
swiftness.
After Brainerd came Zetline. Then there
was Matthews. Spalding for a few years
reigned as king OF the pitchers and proba-
bly, received "a much compensation for his
first season In Boston as was ever paid In n
year to any pitcher who ever played profes-
sionally. Bradley, too, had his year OF
bright prominence When the dead ball gave
him chance to put into use his peculiar
powers Of pitching.
At the close of the seventies the greatest
pitcher OF the century, In my estimation,
arose and fell. 1t is needless to say his name
was James Devlin. No man since his day
has robbed him or his memory of the crown.
But his greatness was his ruin. His
prowess was purchased by gamblers. He
gave himself up to evil companions, who
dragged him down to disgrace. Devlin was
one of the quartet whose conviction OF
crooked play and life punishment served to
place baseball high up In the public esti-
national the top of honest out of doors
sports. In the short period of five years
Dsvlin sank from the topmost pinnacle Of
apitcher's fame TO a pauper's grave.
After Devlin came Bond OF the Bostons,
Radbourne, Corcoran, Goldsmith, Keefe,
Welch, Nolan Mccormick, White, Calvin,
Richmond, Whitney, Clarkson, Hutchi-
son, Ramsey, Kilroy, Mullane, stivetts,
