Eastern Buds Defeated In a Most Ex-
citing Game.
On Saturday the Potomacs defeated the
strong Eastern Buds at Capitol Park by the
score OF 10 10 Z. The game was full OF
sharp fielding and heavy hitting.
Ashley started in TO pitch for the Buds,
but he lasted. cnly three innings. During
that time the Potomacs made their ten runs
by the finest kind of batting; in which sher
man, Gates and McGraw were the prin-
cipals with the stick. Formire went in the
box In the fourth, and pitched good game,
keeping the few hits well sea altered, and not
run was scored.
Griffin twirled for the P Potomacs in his
usualsteady style, ,andheld Manager Cooley's
heavy bI,ters down to six singles, but
they all c;me in time to send in a run.
The fielding OF the Potomacs was very
ragged, Sherman, Gates and A. Akers max
ing a total Of eight errors.
CranstoD put up u strong game behind
the bat, and his throwing to bases was a
feature. Taylor made a sensational catch
in right field, and saved several runs.
Shreve, Moreland and Forrnirc carried Off
the fielding hoDors OF the Eastern Buds. =.
In the second Sherman singled and was
sent home by terrific drive into left center
for a home run. B. Akers captured three
flies in center, and his fast fielding cut off
two runs. s'i~-''' 's+i''#--

The necessity for wearing some protection
for the eyes when riding wheel along
country roads is becoming more and more
apparent. Myriads OF insects of various
kinds swarm about the highways and per-
sist in getting into the eyes OF the riders.
There is one kind in particular that seems
to be poisonous, and in number of eases
wheelmen have been laid up for two or
three days from the effects of it. 1t is any
thing but pleasant sensation to have the
little pests fly into ones organ OF vision,
but when the after effect is swollen and
inflamed eye, and in some cases injured
sight, it becomes obvious that something
should be done toprevens it. AS arulc those
insects are abroad only ut night, but in
some places along the road, particularly in
swampy sections, they can be met with
any time of the day.

Louisville can we'll boast the fastest
bicycle track in the world. Fountain Ferry
is a name that has become famous in con-
nection with bicycle racing. More records
nave been made on it than any other track
in the world, and from the time John 8.
johnson began by placing the mile record
at AZ 2-5, in November, 1894, it has seen
records come and go.
The national Championships next week
will be contested as they never were before.
On such track there is no reason why
several worlds competition records should
not be broken The entire crew of circuit
chasers is preparing to slip in and go to
training preparatory 10 the days when they
will DE at the tape with the eyes OF the
most critical of the cycling public on them.

properly, and Gardiner was finally forced
to quit temporarily. By next week all the
fast men Will be in Louisville. 1t is likely
that Ed. and Tom Cooper. Otto Zicelcr.
the little Californian, will be on hand to
have at least ten days special training at
the track before the meet.
John S. johnson will make his first ap-
pea rance III America, after his trip abroad
at this meet.
With such men as Bald, Sanger, Cooper,
Ziegler, Gardiner, CoburD, The Buffers and
the pick OF the other racers lined at the tape
in the one mile championship, This race in
itself would be worth travelling to Louis
vile to see.
Louis Gimm, the Cleveland long-distance
rider, wishes 10 go against the tweDty-four
hour record soine time during the meet.
The present record is held by Twyman, and
was made at Fountain Ferry last July. If
sanction is obtained, John S. johnson will
go against the one mile record, now held
by Berlo, 1:40 g.

pated save little hard work.
