The several cycling clubs which are inter

are experts on the wheel, will ada tone and

spectacular event OF no mean Importance.
The Times, following the suggestions OF
its correspondents, will stand ready to aid
in any way. ii will offer prizes for the diff

The brilliant success of the New York

and Washington never falls behind when 1t

There are thousands OF young women and

they in their intention to boom the parade

Games Today.

New York, June The national board OF
arbitration, the supreme co1rt in base ball,
consisting of N. L. Young, {. II. Byrnes, j.
T Brush and A. ii. Soden, held special
meeting in the Hoffman House yesterday.
The obi ect oftheir meeting waste determine
whether the board could take action on the
appeal OF Amos Rusie to he released from
reservation to the New York club.
Rusie's appeal was made on the ground
that the club had illegally withheld sal
ary due him, and he, therefore, could not
be reserved under the provisions OF the
national agreement. The club has claimed
that it has a right under the constitution
OF the league and the contract signed by
the player to impose certain fines and
penalties on Rusie for violation of club
rules.
As the matter appeared to assume the
shape of a dispute between the club and
player the board decided that at present
it had not full jurisdiction IN the premises
and referred the matter to the board or di-
rectors of the League. to determine whether
the fines were legally inflicted or not.
When the directors settle this question, then
then the national board of arbitration VIII
have jurisdiction to hear and act upon the
players appeal.
BY those who pretend to know it is
openly asserted that there will be job
put up to deprive the New York club of
the king pitchers services, but President
Freedman says he isn't worrying. He de-
clares that when Rusies offenses, for
which he was fined, are made known there
will be no doubt as to the legality of
the penalJies impOs ed.

THIS was a good resolve, but it is evident
that Young did not mean it. or else MesSrs.
Weidman and Keefe would not now be ua
the staff. From all over the circuit come
reports regarding the miserable work OF
these men. Why, even people at Baltimore
the other day condemned Weidman for be-
ing so unfair against the visiting teams.
This is the very strongest proof of Weld
mans unfitness for the work. President
Young should be consistent. II he adopts
methods he should put them into operation
fairly. He certainly does not need any
more proof of the unfitness of weidman
ton and baltimore. Ii he does he should let
the public know exactly what kind of proof
he wants and how much of it. 1t is quite
true that it is sometimes very difficult TO
get new umpires of ability. but there would
hardly be any danger IN dispensing with
the services of two such worthless as Weld
man and Kcere.; If better men than they
cannot be secused, let the national game

The New York World talks about "Old
Man" Anson as follows: capt, Anson does
not bend the knee so quickly to grounders
as he did before the centennial. and his
home hits are now only twu-baggers.
His face is scanned by the storms and
cyclones of some forty five seasons and the
top of his head is an a rid desert; but his
blue eye is still good. He keeps onto the
curves and base hits are as easy to his reach
as of yore. True, in catching a short fly
yesterday he fell and tore up the sod with
his nose. and in trying to slide into second
base he spiked himself in the left thigh. but
he made two runs and three hits though
the latter were somewhat in want of char
acter."
