Pneumatic tires and pneumatic sad
dies are now a common thing, but
pneumatic hub is a novelty. The pr1n-
ciple involved is in the application of an
air chamber of rubber between the
wheel Of the machine and the frame.
This receptacle will resist pressure of
600 pounds to the square inch. 1t is
claimed that a hub Of this character
renders the movements of the wheel
smoother and gives a freer movement
speed with less exertion on the part of

Professional wheelmen will have to be
very careful If they are to win any de-
gree of popularity from the public. Peo--
pie are naturally somewhat prejudiced
against the professional in sport, which
feeling Is chiefly due to the demoralizing
Influences that have become so notori-
Gus in our national game. Therefore 1t
is most unwise and short-sighted of pro-
fessionals to adopt such tactics as they
chose last Saturday at the Citrus wheel
mems meet. Do they suppose that the
public Is going to pay just to see their
fine persons astride wheel? The pub
lie pays to see races and sport and will
not tolerate the empty humbug of pro-
fessionals loafing round to the last lap.
A strict time limit should be placed on
all professional races. The profession
als on Saturday constituted the mos:
disappointing features to a meeting
which the Citrus wheelmen had striven
hard to make a success.

The Fitzsimmons-sharkey Fight

San FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-Whether
or not Bob Fitzsimmons did not foul
Tom Sharkey in last nights fight will
furnish more talk in this city than il
necessary to elect president. Fitz-
simmons outgeneraled, outpunched
and outwinded his antagonist. Elk
perts in pugilism swarmed around the
riugside, but the boxer WHO saw Fitz-
simmons strike foul blow is not to be
found, though some persons near the
ring side say they saw the foul plainly.
Some said the GLOW was accidental
and others thought that it was inten.
tionel. II was simply robbed OF
SO, 900 by that decision" said Fitz.im-
mons after last nights battle. Il
never struck foul blow in my life. l
won last nights fight fair and square.
That dub is simply a strong young
wrestler and one of the fouleet boxers
I ever saw. Nobody can get square
deal from the thieves who handle
fights in this town" Sharkey asserts
that he had the best of every round
and would certainly have won had he
not been fouled. He announces his
willingness to meet all corners for the
worlds pionship. Julian will
ask for al injunction restraining the
bank from paying Sharkey the check
aud the matter will be taken into the
courts.
Sharkey, who was knocked insensi-
bic bv Fitz=immons last night, appears
to be resting easier today. At ten
o'clock this morning he was reported
asleep. a police officer is on watch at
Sharkey's quarters and if the condition
Of the pugilist becomes serious, FitZ-
simmons will be arrested.

A BIG DEPoT.-Chief Enginee w.
II. Brown, of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, has made public part oil the plans
of the terminal company which pro.
poses to erect grand union station in
Washington for the Chesapeake and
Ohio, the Pennsylvania, the Norfolk
and Western, the Southern and other
lines which desire to GOMEZ in. He says
the congested condition of the passen
ger and freight traffic makes the matter
a very pressing one. He advises the
sinking of the tracks, but does not wish
to 90 az far below the level az the COM
missioners desire. He says the propos-
ed elevation of the tracks is out of the
question, as the Pennsylvania could not
get on the elevated tracks either at the
tunnel on the east or from the north
end of the Long bridge. While the
company is willing to expend an i'm.
mense sum of money 10 making the
improvements, 1t cannot sink the tracks
as low as requested on account of dan
ger from floods. Mr.. Brown declined
to discuss the plans or location of the
proposed station. Commissioner Pow.
ell gave as his opinion that union
station there was impracticable, and
said that the commissioners would
consider it very carefully before reach
ing any decision.

Boiling will be appealed to and the anti

services. The general stands we'll with
both factions and it is said can do more

sHARKEY Won ON A FoUL.-Tl

SHARKEY Won ON FoUL.-The
fight at San Francisco between Robert
Fitzsimmons and Tom Sharkey came
to an unexpected end in the Gig nth
round last night, when Referee carp
gave Sharkey the decision on claim
of foul. 1t was Fitzsimmons' fight from
start to finish. He fought fairly, while
the sailor continually used foul tactics.
He would clinch and lift Fitzsimmons
from his feet, strike in q clinch,
though the men had previously agreed
not to do 80, aud he was generally
unfair. In the eighth round Fitz.
simmons landed on the chin which put
Sharkey on the floor with a smash. AS
he fell he put his hand to his groin. He
made no attempt to rise and was car.
ried from the ring. The foul, if foul it
was. could not be seen from the press
stand, but Referee carp gave his deci-
sion in spite of Fitzsimmons' protests.
The referee claimed that while Sharkey
was falling from Fitzsimmons' blow on
the chin Fitzsimmons struck Sharkey IN
the groin with his knee.

The Situation Still Alarming.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec. 3.-The
water is still rising with no hope Of
breaking the ice gorge. The Chippewa
river is now % feet above low water
mark. the ice gorge is forty feet high,
and backing water on the city at the
rate of foot an hour. Poor people
are suffering terribly, from the cold.
There is no hope of breaking up the
gorge with dynamite and either Chip
pewa Falls or Eau Claire is to suffer
when the gorge finally begins to give
way. Eau Claire would be somewhat
in the position of Johnstown when it
was swept away by the breaking OF an
immense reservoir above it.
