Standing of the Clubs.

The Zephyrs and the Georgetown Eagles
met yesterday afternoon at Arsenal Park,
and another interesting game was the re-
suit. The Eagles lost the game through
their inability TO hit Griffin, who pitched
a mastery game for the Zephyrs, allow
Ing but six hits to be made off his. de-
livery. Stewart, who played third for the
Eagles, did the best fielding for his side,
accepting ten out of twelve chances.
AS rule, the boys all played good ball.
The Zephyrs secured thirteen hits off
Carter and Smith, both Of whom essa yed
TO hold their opponents down, and as the
hits generally came when men were ON
bases, they had runs to spare at the end Of
the game, the score standing 8 to 3.
Following is the score in detail:

An expert wheelman, in discussing the
brake question recently. said: The refusal
of persons tu carry a brake on their wheels
accounts for the great number of accidents
to riders. Brakes do not add much addi-

is fitted with brake the rider can feel
assured that he can stop his wheel al once.

NEVER WAS A HARD HITTER
John l.. Sullivan Endeavors To EN-
plain the Recent Fight.

Pttsburg, Pa, June 26.-Johu L. Sullivan
said of Wednesday uight's battle in san
Francisco:
''Sharkey is strong boy, only twenty
three years old, and can put UP Il hard
fight l met him when in Frisco, but didn't
see him perform. OF course, Corbett never
was n hard hitter, and the punching he
gave Sharkey in the early rounds did no
harm. Besides, while Corbett was getting
weaker the younger man was getting
stronger, aud that's the way it was. Cor
hett hasn't done much drinking, but he has
other faults. and they may have undermined
his constitution. It's quite a Job to knock
cut a stronger mau in four rounds, If re
keeps away, and you cannot hitlike Mahe-,
or harder. Sharkey is about feet 8 in
ches tall and weighs $50 pounds. He has a
powerful chest, and can wrestle, and that

France has gone bicycle mad is the de-
duction to be drawn from report re-
ccived at the State Department from Wal
ter 7. Griffin, United States commercial
agent at Limoges.
Since April, 1892, each bicycle is taxed
ten francs (S1.93) a year, and the number
OF machines In use in the republic can be
accurately gauged through the tax re-
turns. In 1892 the number OF bicycles
In France was $50, AT, while at pres
cnt there are 100000. The average is
four machines TO nearly every 900 per
sons. If the feeble, the aged, the young
children and the majority Of the women
be excluded from the calcula ton, the aver
aye will he one bicycle TO every fifty per-
sons a bic To ride.
In concluding his report, Mr.. Griffin says:
THE bicycles offered for sale on the French
market are manufactured in every land;
France can hardly hold her own in manu-
featuring these machines. England sup
plies the largest quantity Of the foreign
wheels. n few are imported from Belgium,
and many from the United States. There
is no reason why the high grade American
bicycles should not have a larger sale in
France If tile right means were used to
Introduce them"

ELK POINT, S. D., April 1.-The
little city Of Elk Point, S. d., has more
''cycle enthusiasm" than any other
city OF its size, and great deal more
than many larger towns in this part of
the country. The population is only
about l, 400, out of which Is ride the
wheel, twenty of these being ladies.
Elk Point, it may be said, is the
bloomer center of South Dakota, and
all of it's twenty lady riders wear the
"bifurcated" garment. Among the
teachers are Misses Cora HassOn, Mary
HAPPIER. May Miller, Dolly Hunt, and
Aggie Bovee, who spe I'd many of their
leisure hours in this kind of amuse-
ment.
S. G. Thornton and NJ. Hoffman,
merchants, and [,evs. A. NJ. Pipes, A.
K. Carhart, and Peter Brown find this
4 very pleasant and beneficial recrea-
alton. Although the Rev. Mr.. Brown
is 81 years old he rides the wheel with
the ease and grace Of youth of 20.
Misses Nell Freeman, Cora Main, and
Matte COverdale, all popular society
young ladies. are among the recruits of
this season. A club will soon be organ
lied, and all of the present riders will
no doubt become members.
Although our streets and roads are
not always all that they might be, yet
no one seems to let that interfere with
the sport. The principal destinations
of most of the riders are Richland, Ak
ron, Vcrmillion, and Riverside Park, q
summer resort near Sioux City. As
the disutnce is suitable, and the roads
are good during the dry weather, it
makes very pleasant trip.
Carl Anderson is the only rider in
the city that has made a century run.
This run he made last summer in six
hours. Mr.. Anderson is one of the
fastest road riders in South Dakota.
Nell Kent is also good road rider. Al
though never having trained or made
any long rides, he rode from Vermil-
lion to this city, distance of sixteen
miles, in ~ minutes, and over very
poor roads part of the way at that. He
has also ridden eighteen miles over
country roads in 81 minutes.
A great deal of interest is being
taken by the wheelman in the race
meeting which takes place here July 2,
3, and 1. AS bicycle races will be
among the chief events, and liberal
purses will be hung up for them, these
races will undoubtedly be on of the
principal events of our town this year.
