Monday, for instance, he keeps the ma

is nevertheless keenly defined and it so
continues to the end. The last of the

contrast with what you have drunk it is
gratefully cool; sip of cream with a
coffee bouquet. and you set down the

The appended tables will show whit has been
done by the Eastern teams on their first West

work with nine victories and six defeats.
The New Yorks have almost the same record,

turing only six out Of fifteen. Washington is
credited with six victories and eleven defeats,
while the Brooklyns bring up the rear with five

The Western clubs. with the exception of St.
Louis and Louisville, have shown marked
superiority over tho majority of the Eastern
teams. The Cincinnatis have done the best
work, winning thirteen games out of sixteen
played. The Chicagos come next with twelve
won and five lost. and Pittsburgh is third with

AN IDEAL DAY ON WHEELS.
Great Numbers OF Both Sexes Pedal from
Dawn to Dark.

As the local clubs did not hold any century
runs yesterday, the attendance on the runs of
the various organizations was above the aver
age. The Park. Boulevard, and Riverside Drive
were crowded with riders throughout the day.
1t is apparent that the number of women who
ride Sunday is increasing. Yesterday fore
noon crowds of women went through the Park
and up to Claremont. The fact that the Miburn
road race will take place on Thursday attracted
crowds of wheelmen to the scene. During the
day the racing men from the various club went
over the course and while only trial spins were
taken number Of men rode twenty-five miles
under the watch. and 1t is rumored that some Of

An attempt was made to take an official count
of the number of riders who went down from
Prospect Park to Coney Island over the new
cycle path but while 5000 or 10000 riders
were said to have gone over the path, 1t was i'm
possible to verify the figures with any degree of
accuracy. From o'clock in the morning until

There was slight Improvement in the play
ing of tho Now Yorks last week. On Monday
they stood seventh; now they arc two notches

better results during the week. the pitchers did
not show any more effectiveness. Tiernan,
Meekin, and Doyle continued to find the oppos-
ing pitchers, while Van Haltren md Stafford
increased their averages considerably.
Brooklyn's pitchers seemed unable to stop
tho fusilade OF base hits and II is mostly due to
this weakness that the club across the bridge
occupies low position. The following are the
