which Riverside could well be proud.
The boys 20 out occasionally for a work
out and keep themselves in fair con-
dition. Newcombe who will do our catch
ing, is great favorite here, and a fine
catcher. Osborne on secenl base is a
natural ball player and makes some phe-
nomenal plays. Heap at third base is like
a stone wall and has an arm that Rusie
would be proud to own. Cobb, who is to
pitch, is well known having played twI
years on this coast, and in the National
League. His arm has lost none of its
cunning and will prove a puzzle to
many a batter. Younglove in center
field is the peer of any amateur fielder
in Southern California, being very fast on
his feet and sure catch-of flies. He
uses excellent judgment. The boys are
all good batters and good base runners.
We shall certainly leave nothing undone
to make success of the proposed four
cornered league. Honest Sport

AGAIN KNOCKED OUT BY BOOZE
John L. Sullivan Continues His Drunken
CarOusal

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 24.--John L.
Sullivan continued his drunken carousal
in this city and was conspicuous figure
at various saloons. He made trips in an
open barouche, accompanied by several
sporting friends, and crowds of curious
followed him. Sullivan was bitter against
the newspapers for the notoriety he has
received. He says he has been greatly
misrepresented. Meanwhile he continues
to spend his money freely for dri nix and
shows no signs of letting up. He de-
clares he has pawned his watch and dia-
monds to assist his company during the
past few weeks, when they played to
small houses. Most of the members OF the
company will leave for New Yori; on the
Clyde line steamer tomorrow. Some have
money that they saved. Sullivan is said
to have raised sufficient money to pay the
passage of the two children OF tire COM
pany. They will go by rail today. Miss
Arm strong, a member of the company,
had Sullivan's trunks attached for $l20
which she claims to be due her for wages.

of 2:07 3-4 and finished the mile in
2:07 IA. In doing SO he not only cut
half second off the record he made at
Galesburg ILL.,, last fall, but he also re
duced the three-year-old pacing record
for colts held by Sidmont, 2:10 ~, to
. ;07 IL and he also reduced the three
year-old pacing record OF the world, 2:10,
held jointly by Whirligig and Ethel A.,
to the same point. Whore will the mark

his form?

She may not earn the 5000; she may not

help to popularize the pretty bloomer cos
tune.
Now the use of the word bloomer, as
applied to ladies' bicycle suits at this pc
riod, is not entirely correct. The original
boomers were rather ungainly things
when used for a walking costume and
built on strict bloomer lines, but the
bloomer costume the bicyclst refers to
now is any sort of a suit Except possibly
the divided skirt idea, which is all right
for "a horsewoman but all wrong for a
wheelwoman), that is adapted to the free
use of the lower limbs, and allows the fair
rider TO mount diamond frame and take
chances even up with the male rider.

that the trouble was not all the fault of
the management, so that it will probably
be Just as well to dismiss the whole thing
with the remark that the out-of-town
meets can be made very popular and en-
joyabe and the country clubs should
strive to make the events Just as interest
ing as possible.
OF course the larger cities OF the Pacific
Coast would like to be included in the ma
tional racing circuit; nobody is going to
deny that. Failing in this, though why
not a Coast circuit? The riders and sport
ing men and writers OF San Francisco
are already talking the thing and present
some good argument in its favor.
The list of race-meet towns which al
ready have good tracks and good men to
enter the races has been made out and in
cludes Alameda, Dixon, Eureka, Fresno,
Los Angeles, Marysville, Oakland, Oro-
vile, Pasadena, Riverside, San Bernar-

these cities ten are in the Northern divis-

The cycling editor of the Examiner is
enthusiastic over the scheme and asks for
expressions of opinion from the clubs and
wheelmen generally. The advantage of a
state circuit, he explains, is for one thing
the advertising each meet gets from every
other meet. BY combining. he smaller
centers on the circuit would be able to
give meets which they otherwise might
not attempt Then, again, a general com
