EXPERT HANDBALL.
Games Were We'll pattonized In the
Local Court.

The Easter matinee at the Jersey City
Handball Court was more lively than
previous club days, and there was a per-
ceptible increase in attendance. The
warm sunshine seemed to nave a stimu-
lating effect on the players, and they
drove the sphere about at a fast clip
and decided many well contested games.
The feature was the second team match
between Pat Scott and Larry Forde
against Tom Flaherty and Pat Barrett.
The conditions were best four in seven
games, and Barrett and Flaherty met de-
feat. This was very much of a surprise,
but there was no help for it, as their OPP
ponents put up a very clever exhibition.
and played all around the opposing team.
They won four straight games. An exhi@
bition followed, in which Barrett and
FIaherty captured the game with a dash

Wheelmen Celebrate Their Easter on
The Road. -

h bicycle riders put in a busy day
yesterday. 1t was the first clear Sun
day in many weeks, and the warm sun
shine ard dry roads was all that was
necessary to attract the wheelmen and
wheelwomen from all quarters, and it
seemed like a regular paradise on the
Boulevard, which was the Mecca. Not
alone was 1T patronized by local riders,
but there were almost as many riders
tine surrounding cities spinning
along. Several clubs had scheduled runs,
forms noticed were those Of the Acme
Wheelmen. Castle Point Cyclers, Catholic
Club Cyclers. Clio Wheslmen, Hudson
County Wheeimen, Hillside Wheelmen,,
Hamilton Wheelmen, Atalanta WheeImefi,
Riverside Wheelmen, Harlem Wheelnen,
Arcanum Wheelmen. Lafayette Wheel
men, LIE Roy Wheelmen and several mem
hers CT the new Niantics. All sorts of
costumes were worn BY the ladies. but
the close fitting knickerbockers seemed to
prevail as the popular uniform. The
season has fairly begun, and it will con-
tinue with increasing vigor from now un-
til another end has been reached.
" nv tHse Old Course Was chosen.
President Brock, Of the Metropolitan
Cycling Association, who is a member of
the Catholic Hub Cyclers Of this city,
says the decision Of the Race Committee
Of the NJ. G. A. in selecting the irving
ton-Milburn course in preference to the
Hudson County Boulevard for the annual
25-mile road race on Memorial Day was a
wise move, and one tina was received with
favor by every club in the association.
The Boulevard was favored because OF
its fine roadway, and early In the winter
II locked as though it would be selected.
Later, however, the committee found the
impraeticabiiity Of running the race with
the crowded t~h0roughfare which would be
drawn to the course in almost COUNTLESS
numbers, and there could hardly be al
space large enough through which the
large numbers of riders could work their
way without accident, and when
all this was conssdefed the old course was
even with its many drawbacks.
A majority of the riders in the city are
also inclined 10 think II would have been
an imposs5biIity to have run the race
here. Chairman William Seudder, OF the.
Race Committee, q member of the Jersey
City Club says another reason was they
feared a course SO convenient as the Bou-
leyard woltld have brought out more an
tries than the committees could handle.

The season was fairly begun in this
city yesterday among the amateurs, and
the warm sunlight brought out a large
number Of ball tossers. All were happy
and glad of an opportunity to stretch
their legs around the bases. The grounds
at Communipaw were the Mecca, and dur
ing the afternoon several hundred people
were gathered there watching the work
between the rival players. The Maytiow-
ers made short work of the Acorns, and
beat them by the remarkable large score
of So to II. The Myrtles beat the Silver
Stars II to 8, and the Barrows won from
the Grand Street Club by II to 8. In

Excitement at GardnssyilIe.

nerviIie by telegraph from San Fran
ciScn To Carson and from there over
Pra't's telephone line to Jepsen's
etore and from there they were taken
to Browns saloon. There was a great
gathering Of miuers, ranchers and
ctustry sports to the place and the
excitement ran high as the news came
in round by round. When Sharkey
made the best showing his admirers
would yell the mselve5 hoarse and
treat the crowd and the next bulletin
would see the admirers of Lanky Bob
wild with delight. Meanwhile, the
red liquor flowed like wafer and pau
ditnonium reigned in Gardnerville.
1t was an odd thing that this little
village way in the Nevada mountains
could catch the news Of a prize fight

of the new telephone line and every
body voted the telephone was a great
invention and the new line alright.

WheW!

The following story comes from
Reno:
A young nan just home from an
eastern college invited a young lady
OF The village TO a Sunday morning
ride on his tandem bicycle. She was
delighted, and could scarcely wait to
carry the news to her particular girl
friend, who. it happened. had hereto
fore occupied the front seat on that
taHdem. Then the plot was laid.
How NICE" said her chum Have
you a bicycle suit? Why not wear
mine? Dom you think this will look
lovely?"
Now. he garment exhibited hap
pened to he a bathing suit Of pro-
bounced colnrs aui unique design,
but as the first young lady had never
been within sight Of salt water, and
was a cuilele-s nature, n yhow, the
bunco game worked to perfection.
The young mans breath suddenly
left him that Sunday morning when
his companion came out ready to
mount, but that Was nothing com
pared to the panic they created along
the route. PiOus matrons on their
way 10 church threw up both hands
and prayed ~fersent!y, and the male
population on the streets stopped
speljboupd and watched them out of
sight. The yonng man had little to
say, but it is clai,ued he broke Zim-
merman's record getting TO the un-
freQuented streets.
