NOTES OF THE DIAMOND.

| Because the opening of the season has
been set back fifteen days, almost all the
| clubs have decided not TO go South in the
spring.
/ Buck Ewing has retired to his villa
! over tue Rhine, and has hired a pinkcrton
detective to chase away all well-meaning
baseball cranks with suggestions for next
| season.
President Young, of the National Baseball
League, yesterday received and recorded
as approved the formal contract transfer
ring Theodore Breitenstein from the st.
Louis to the Cincinnati club.
Umpire Emslie says that the many dis
putes on the ball field are due to tie
attitude Of partisan newspaper men. who
roast. and often uniustly, the umpres.
Emslie claims that, if the reporters were
not So biased, there would be fewer com
plants about the umpires and that the
game would be benefited in the end.
The Philadelphia diamond has been torn
up, and the club hopes TO have the
best in the country next season. A much
better plan would be to tear apart the
Philadelphia team and have one of the
best next year. But, then, it must not be
forgotten that Col. Rogers says it does
not pay to have a champion team.-New
York Evening World.
1t may be n little late, but defense is
due TO Patrick Oliver Tebeau. He has been
the most maligned and abused of mana
gers all the past season, and the true in
wardness of his recent clash at arms with a
Cleveland reporter has never been given to
the public through the columns of any
newspaper. rofessional ethics are all
right so far as they go, but it doesn't seem
right that a ball pla yer should be obliged to
bear the entire burden of blame, because he
has had a fist fight with a reporter. AS
matter of fact, NO gentleman is expected to
stand everything in the way of abuse from a
foul-rnoutbed enemy. even if that enemy be
Il ne newspaper man, and when the victim of
Tebeau and O'Connor's wrath refused to
prosecute, he was not prompted by any
other motive than desire to conceal the
true inwardness of the trouble. Tcbeau

FELL ASLEEP IN THE CELLAR.
Supposed Burglary of Jew e1ry Store
Is Finally Explained.

OF aDeWth StOTe
Is Finally Explained.
The detectives believe they have sue
ceeded in solving the burglary mystery of
stated last night that the officers had, with
a reasonable degree of certainty, located
a colored boy who was supposed to have
entered the store with burglarious intent.
1t is believed now that tile colOred boy
had gone to sleep in the basement, and on
awaking made his way out OF the store
through the rear door, which act set off
the burglar alarm. TIE employees Of the
store were busy all Wednesday afternoon
in packing and the cellar door was open
most OF the time. 1t would have been easy
enough FOR any one so inclined to have
entered the place unnoticed.
Once inside the cellar, the detectives be-
lieve, the boy went to sleep in his hiding
place and failed to awake until morning.
He then found himself shut in. There are
no steps leading from the cellar to the
interior OF the first floor. and to reach
this the burglar was compelled to climb
up the register pipes.
There were evidences that the safe had
been Slightly tampered with. but nothing
in the store was taken. The arrival Of
the manager at the front door probably
frightened the marauder away. The fasten
ing on the back door had been broken off
and when the door was opened the burglar
alarm was set going.
Mr.. Moore, of the District Messenger Com
pany, responded Immediately to the alarm
but the burglar had made good his escape
by the time he reached the store.
The cOh,rcd boy who is believed to be
responsible for the deed gave the affair
away in relating his experiences to Some
OF bis confidential companions.

small idler wheels on either side OF the
sprocket.
These idler wheels constitute the essen
tial feature OF the proposed invention.
They are secured to the outer terminals
OF the pedal shaft, and are SO operated
that they may be instantly dropped to
the ground whenever the wheelman is rn-
able to keep his machine in proper bal
ance, or when he wishes TO come TO u fun
stop without dismounting.
These gride wheels allow the bicycle
to tip Ertle to either side, but prevent
1T from going over far enough TO spill
the rider. They do not interfere in the least
with the movement of the wheel under
headway.
