mcmbers OF the Rochester ball team We're
about to board the train for Syracuse yes
tcrday morning warrants Tor Their ar
rest were served on them for Sunday bal
playing. A hurried consultation was held,
and when bail was furnished the team was
released in time to fulfill their Syracuse
date. Tie warrant was sworn out before
a Justice by resident OF the town of
Irndequoit, the ban grounds being just
outside of the city limits in that town.
They were located where they are design
edly to escape trouble with the city gov
ernmeDt. II was thought that the residents
OF Irondequoit would not modest them, aud,
in fact, they have not done SO during the
season, but the feeling against Sunday tall
has been growing, until it was finally de-
termined to make a stand at the close of
the season, institute proceedings, which
would result in prohibiting Sunday games
forever after. The countrymen are deter
mined in their action, while the bail team
Will defend themselves and make n test
case OF it, putting in a plea of not guilty.
1t is even SAID lat, If necessary, the legit-
lature may be appealed to during the winter
to secure a relaxation of the Sunday laws
SO that Sunday games may be allowed.

of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal filed a
petition in court at Hagerstown, Nd, yes

senting the United States, and George l..
Nicholson, general manager of the canal,

A Detroit inventor ha devised new sad
die which will shortly be placed onthe mar
ket for the trade of 1897. The general
shape of the saddle is wide at he back; in
fact, more like the saddle ordinarily placed
upon lady's bicycle than the customary
style for men. The saddle is made ofthree
pieces. Two are to accommodate the bones
OF the pelvis, The third piece is the horn,
which ca n be made long OF short at the op-
tion OF the rider. The side pieces Of the
saddle are connected by a bolt running at
right angles to them. BY means OF this
bolt the saddle can be widened until il ex-
actly suits the rider. BY finding exactly
where the pressure comes, the rider may
fit himself to n perfect seat. The tilting
arrangement is such that the entire saddle
does not need to be shifted forward or back
ward to adjust itself. All these points are
regulated by the very simple turnscrews
that hold the saddle together.

Just because valve Of bicycle tire
>feaks air over night is no reason why it
cannot be ridden with safety. 1t not in
frequently happens that valve which
allows the air to escape slowly when the
bicycle is not in use will serve its purpose
all right when the machine is ridden. The
reason for this is that the air pressure on
the inside of the valve is increased by the
riders weight and the washer thus pressed
firmly into it's place, shutting off the
escape of air. OF course such a valve is
not a good thing to have but at the same
time a rider may feel reasonably safe in
going out for a days run even il his tire
was flat in the morning. In such case,
though, it would be great mistake not
to carry pump.

There is sure TO be a great discussion
at the next national assembly, at which
the leading lights in the cycling world
VIII gather. From the present situation
II Is surrnised that the Cycle Hna rd Of Trade
will have something to say regarding con
tracts with racing men, and will seek to
devise means by which their interests
may he protected where the riders seek
TO jump their agreement. The League OF
American Wheelmen must appreciate that
the Cycle Board OF Trade is an organization
OF powerful proportions, and one which
has the fate OF racing in its grasp. 1t is
the Board Of Trade that keeps many OF the
riders in the game, and should the support
OF this body be withdrawn its effect would
be instantaneous and disastrous as We'll
Many Of the manufacturers who had 10
teams on the circuit this season are row
deciding that it would be wise TO renew
their interests. While some concerns have
been represented by professionals, who
chose their wheels because OF the speed
qualities in them, they are greatly in the
minority. The Cycle Board of Trade would
see racing prosper, but at the same time il
is well to argue that their interests must
be cared for to some degree by the National
Racing Board. Membersof the cling oa rd
are now inclined TO consider any scheme
which will tend to popularizc the sport
OF cycle racing. That the pastirne is be-
ing encouraged to a greater extent than
last year there is no doubt.
