BICYCLE RIDERS,
More of Them Were Fined in the
Police Court.

Under the new section OF the police regu-
laticns which will not go into effect for a
month, the speed of bicycles will be resII-
lated on the streets, at crossings and also
on the county roads. The present reeu-
latons apply only to the street crossings,
and there the speed allowed is eight miles
an hour. When the new law goes into
effect the speed between streets must not
be greater than eight miles, while at street
crossings the speed must be lowered to the
rate Of not more than six miles, while ir
the county on the roads a fifteen-mie rate
is provided. This will prevent road races
in the District limits. but as most of the
races are held in Maryland, the regulation
will not greatly annoy the wheelmen
Although many wheelmen have been ar
rested for violations of the law. there are
still riders OF the silent steed who are
taking the chances of being caught Sew
eral of them We're caught YESTERDAY and
the cases were heard in Judge kimbalrs
court today.
In the case of Walter G. Smith a new
question was raised. and the decision rem
dered puts all coasting in violation of law.
He was willing to admit that he was coast
ing on Pennsylvania avenue east from
18th street, but he said he had his wheel
under fun control, for ne had brake on
his wheel
The court held that the presence of the
brake made no difference. SO far as the
charge of not having the wheel under
control was concerned, and imposed a 81
fine, remarking. This manner of reckless
riding must be stopped
ElaZa Johnson was also coaSting, but
he pleaded ignorance of the law He had
not ridden the wheel very much.
But you read the papers," quered the
court.

THOSE PHILADELPHIA KNOCKERS
fretful Complaints About the Best
Team the City Ever Had

""i 'he CITY Ever Had.
Life for a Philadelphia bali player is far
from joyous these fitful days. In speaking
of the game yesterday the papers refer to
the once beloved Philles in this wise:
1t was with the usual feeling Of disgust
and bitter disappointment that the 6O0O
poor deluded base ball cranks left the
grounds yesterday at the conclusion of the
game, which resulted in another easy VIC
tory for Cleveland, Disguised at the PLAYING
of the Philles. which was a shade worsa
than their usually bad work, and disan.
pointed at their trust in human nature
which is being so rudely shaken these DAVIS
Not even the encouragement of their pres
ence every day seems enough to make an
overpaid lot of ball players do their best
But what's the use Of complaining, the
management seem contented and happy,
and we must be-
And we wonder at crime!

people play ne game

for any kind OF morgue.
Perhaps 1t was a sample of the work
done on the last part Of the western trip
which they called hard luck
1T is very evident that them Phillies
are net in the same class as Cleveland
ITO palm off the playing done by the
Philles as base ball requires some nerve
Unless ball is batted right at them
mo wonder they call it the morgue; 1t Is
so closely related to their actions on the
field.
