come In here. I'm still in quarantine
And what the deuce does ne mean by quar-
anteen? IN have TO lock that up in the
directory, or dictionary, or whatever you
can it, said George to himself. George
! told me that win is as pretty as ever,
with a chalky pallor on his face aud his
| ebon hair hanging down his back. So Win
will fetch his good looks TO Washington
with him. The smallpox hasn't left
single dent in his classic visage."
The great cycle show, which opens in the
Madison Square Garden next Saturday, bids
fair to be- in the matter of attendance and
interest of the exhibit. the best that has
been held for long time, if ever. Visitors
and exhibitors from all parts of the country
will be present and Europe is expected TO
send a large delegati ton OF mechanical ex-
perts and writers on cycling from the lead
ing weekly and daily papers of England and
the continent. Agents from every section
| will be present to make contracts for the
year. and to study the newest inventions
and wrinkles of the industry. The exhibits
| themselves will probably ag gregate in value
| nearly three-quarters OF a million dollars.
Hardly. anything relating 10 the business
Will be missing Besides the wheels them
selves there will be every little part per-
tanning TO the ma keup of a well regulated
cycling outfit. Thespecialists will haveirn-
proved pedals, easy saddles, lamps, hidden
| bells, twentieth century locks, improved
chains and all sorts of things ON exhibition.
The folio win gfootballtragedy comes from
| Chicago: "a. 7. Smith, football player
on the Chicago University team. played a
brief game with a gasoline stove on the
morning of January Z, when his future
career as football player was seriously i'm
paired by the less OF his chrysanthemum
hair. The game wss called at O'Clock at
Smiths home, s522 Madison avenue. The
ball used was tie regulation gasoline can
filled with fluid. The hired e rl put the ball
III play by pouring gasoline from il into the
stove while the burners were lit. Smith
made a rush around the right end of the
stove and got tie ball started for five
yard liEe outside the Coor. He fumbled the
ball and tie stove tackled him by the hair
and secured TOUCHDOWN. Smith kept the
ball, however. and broke through tie inter-
ference for water bucket, where he
touched goal with hhisflaminglock The by
stanGers became excited 10y the game and
rushed on to the field and the game ended
in great confusion and with $50 damage TO
the surroundings.

"Smith's head, which before the game
supported growth OF hair which was one
OF the features of the Chicago University
games, is now as bald as the G. A. A. field
in winter. Unless he can borrow a wig of
the proper hue or the sentiment against
bald-headed football players undergoes a
radical change Smiths career as u Prom
Using halfback is ruined.''
Tommy Ryan of Chicago, who is doing his
own matchma king at present, intends to do
some tall hustling for fights this year. Ryan
is in good condition and believes that he is
able to cope with anybody within few
pounds of his class. Il am ready to box
any 154-pound man in the world.' Ryan
said. Il will never fight less than that in
my life again, for to reduce lower has a
tendency TO weakenme. Ihaye been harshly
criticised during the past mouth because
have shown silence toward Joe Walcutt.
1 have not concluded TO draw the color line
but if walcott wants to fight me he will
have to agree to a contest at catchweights.
| As to Kid Mccoy / will let him weigh a
ton. only think he's bluffing when he
says he wants to fight me. Let him put up
some money. That's the way TO do busi-
ness, aud then l will talk to him." Ryan
further said it was possible that he would
go TO England in few months and fight
Dick Burge OF any other I54 pound man.

dent Freedman, OF the New York Baseball
Club, TO the Baltimore Club for kid"
