THE STORY FROM NEW YORK.
New York, April 27.-Amos Rusie's re-
volt against the New York Club has created
so much talk that it seems almost I'M
possible now for President Freedman to
pltCD up tnt bTtdtii bttNttl ilu
the big pitcher. with Rusie as stubborn
as mule, the New York team is in poor
shape. as far as the pitching material is con-
cerned.
Within the past few days President Freed
man has stated that he expects TO securetwo
new pitchers who are at present in the Ma
tional League, and who will add strength
to the New York team. Unless the informa-
tion is wrong, these men are John Mcmahon
and George Hemming of the Baltimore Club.
In exchange for their services it is said that
the New York Club will turn over the re-
lease OF Pitcher Rusie. who can then make
whatever terms he pleases with Manager
Hanlon.
This information comes from q man close
ly identified with the Baltimore Club. and
who declares that Hanlon was the first to
breach the subject. II is further said that
such a deal Is looked upon with favor by
Manager Irwin and Capt. Gleason, but in
order to secure the men President Freed
mans consent must be secured.
HANLON SAID TO BE WILLING.
Hanlou, it is claimed. is so anxiousto Sc
cure Rusie that he is not only willing to eX-
change Mcmahon for him, but will also let
George Hemming, another good twirler,
come to New York, too. as part OF the deal.
Hemming has done excellent work while at
Baltimore and has many years yet to stay
in the league. He, too, 1t appears is aux-
ious to come to the 10 cal team, as his home
is at Brooklyn, where he made his debut
under Wards mana cement in the Players
Brotherhood team of 1890.
Mcmahon is, perhaps. the headiest pitch
er intheleague. aui is winner. for iIenever
quits. With Mcmahon, Clarke. Hemming
and Meekin pitching good ball the old inter-
est in the game would be restored.

ractice has grown to such proportio MS, and
so closely allied to track racing. that

of the two organizations are now endeay-
oring to frame regulations which Will place
road racing, as far as possible. Under proper
restrictions, and will prevent riders who
have violated tine rules governing one class
of racing from competing in the other class.
The Road Club will probably refuse to

The following code of rules on bicycle
etiquette may be found of value to the
beginner, If not to the society rider:
Do not ride wheel until you have
mounted it.
When YOU meet young lady acguaint
ance during your first ride in the streets,
smile confidently. take off your cap with
either hand, or both, and choose a soft
place to fall.
Rest your chin on the handle bars ANY
other position would give the impression
that you were Il novice.
If a horse and vehicle are ahead of you
ride by at speed of not less than thirty
miles an hour. 1t is so refreshing for the
nerves of the horse, if the animal Is little
high spirited. -...s-...~ --.....
Never sit erect in your saddle. 1t is TOO
good for your health.
If a doctor tells you TO ride for your
health. begin by I0O-mile trip the first
week You won't need the wheel for Il
long time after that, and probably will
have an excellent opportunity TO better
cultivate the acquaintance of the doctor.
