The capital invested in cycle manu-
factures in the United States is esti-
mated to be over $125,000,000, and the
number of people employed in their man
ufacture and the sale of wheels as over
150, 900, according to Cycling West. The
output in 1896 was about 100000 wheels,
worth $60,0O0,0OO The exports of 1896
for the first half of the year reached
81 1654,291 and the expectation is that
$4,000 American wheels will be sold in
England alone in 1897. Three million
wheels are in use in the United States,
a proportion of one to every twenty
four of the population. In France the
proportion is only one in $50.

the grace and speed with which the

ing that minor league managers are wrong

That's the wrong hypothesis. If the price.
Were double or treble what IL is, League
folks would be a little more careful about
making selections. Only men of marked
ability would be selected. and youngsters

have the handicap of having been tied and
found wanting initiating against them
when they really became capable.
The first new man secured for the Phila-
delphia team is ''Sandow'' Mertes OF the
81. Paul club, OF the Western League In
exchange the Phiiadelpnia club Will give
McGili, Turner and 81 800 bonus. Mertes
will report to Capt. Nash at Boston, pos
sibly in time for Saturdays game. Nc
Gill Will leave for st. Paul roday and
Turner will so as soon as Mertes re-
ports. Turner is still under contract TO
the Philadelphia club and can be recalled

As has been the case with every club
whose members do not play together reg
u!arly, the BelmUnts have failed to make
evena fair showing in therace for The Times
trophy. The main trouble has been the
failure OF teams To present the same nine
more than once or twice. Yesterday the
BelmOnts had TO fill in with outsiders in
their game at Arsenal Park with the Cliff
burns, and they got a sound drubbing at
the hands OF their opponents To the tune
of 20 10 in five innings, again demon
strating that team work is the thing that
counts.
The 81 rburns crawled up a few points
IN per sc, but did not climb the ladder,
remaining III sixth place.
As clubs have all been warned before that
failure to have a fun team present on the
grounds, ready to play when scheduled,
would be sufficient cause for dropping them
from the league, the Belmonts will be con-
sdered as having forfeited Their right TO
membership, and are hereby dropped.
The game in which they are scheduled
to play on Friday with the Buds Will be filled
by having the Zephyrs take their place and
cancelnG the game between the Belmouts
and Zephyrs on Saturday. The Eastern
Buds will endeavor to redeem their defeat
by the PotonIacs on Monday by downing the
Mascots in the game this afternoon at Ar
senal Park. Haunaman and Lowe Will Off
ciate as umpires.
Tomorrow the Georgetown Eagles aud
Zephyrs will meet, and as they are both
putting up strong game, an interesting
contest is anticipated. Bland and Burke
will be the umpires.
Don't forget the meeting of the mana gers
tomorrow evening at O'Clock at The
Times building. Business of importance
will be transa acted.

New York, June 2I-President Freed

yet They would undoubtedly like To have
Ruse, but that is out of the question The
Board OF Directors can do nothing but sus-
tain the actions of my club with the evil
dence in hand, consequently there would he
no sense in trading Rusie to any club.

ford will he well soon, and then that place

would rather have him than seasoned
player, who has almost completed his career
on the diamond In short, l do not think we
need any of the Philadelphias, if We are
expected to give up Some of our men in
exchange"
If Mr.. Freedman would consent TO trade
Rusie, il is said on the hest of authority
that he could get Taylor, Clements and
DelaIanty in exchange These men would
make the present New York team one of
the strongest in the League Ii can also
be said that Reach and Rogers would be
willing TO exchange Delahanty and Cross
for either George Davis or Gleason The
New York club might be willing to bunch
Connaughton, Harry Davis and Stafford
for Delahanty, but it is doubtful if the
Philadelphia club would consent.
President Freedman had Il long confab
with Gleason before yesterdays game, and
the KID said that he was ready TO he
traded. Mr.. Freedman told him that was
an impossibility, ana then Gleason urged
him TO make any sort of Il deal for Della
hanty or Cross or both .

HURLED TO HER DEATH.
Girls Knocked From II Bridge BY Il
Train.

Reading, Pa, June ga frightful acci-
dent happened on the bridge of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, which cross
es the Schuylkill at the foot of Chestnut
street, at 7:45 yesterday evening. AT that
time three little girls, Maud Clemmons, aged
thirteen: Kate Stamm, aged thirteen, and
Jennie Bard, aged twelve, were crossing the
bridge toward the city. They had just
passed the lastpier at the eastern end of the
bridge, when the 7:45 express from Phila-
delpha thundered on to the bridge. The
bridge is double track, and there is a
feotpath in the middle.
The girls were seen by n number OF
people, who called 10 them frantically to
get out of the way, but they seemed 10
be paralyzed by fright and Incapable of
helping themselves. The engineer of the
train blew his whistle furiously, reversed
and put on brakes, but was unable TO
check the headway of the train materially
before it was upon them. All three were
hurled from the bridge to the ground, about
twenty feet below. The spectators at once
rushed to their aid. They found Katie
stamm dead, while the other two, though
badly bruised and almost dead from fright,
were comparatively unhurt
When the news was communicated to
the mother of the dead girl there came
near being another tragedy. The shocking
manner of her daughters death crazed her.
and she was with great difficulty restrained
from at once making wal with herself. Her
rawlings were fearful, aud she had to be
quieted with opiates.

There Were 1875 entries, and of these all

of the race was about eighteen miles over

dusty. The falls We're numerous, but no

small, the scratch men did not finish
anywhere near the front. The race was
won by NJ. W. Gray of Beverley, Mass,

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
Governing Promotion of Employ,

OF EUDIONeS
From Subordinate Places
The Civil Service Commission has Just
made rules TO govern the promotion of en-
ployes from subordinate places into the
ranks of clerks. I
The positions affected are those of Ia
borers, messengers and others below the
grade of clerks. They have recently been
put in the classified list. A competitive
examination will be held soon under the
new rules to provide for these promotions.
Heretofore the transfer from these lower
places to the ranks of the clerks has been
made upon non-competitive examination
and has largely been effected by political
influences
The new rules provide for the examina-
tion OF employees in each department as one
division of the service. Where there are
large bureaus like the Pension the bureau is
made separate division and promotions
are made within it Just as they are in the
remainder of the department to which it
belongs.
The rules establish list of eligihles
from which the highest three shall he
certified for promotion when a call is made
to advance some one.

The attention Of Chairman George F.
Gideon has been called 10 the team work
now going on among the professionals.
In several cases there have been con-
temptible methods resorted TO in order TO
throw a rider or compel him to lose a
chance to win the race. With gold as
the incentive for speed and good form,
the competition is naturally more deter
mined; the riders who are compelled to
rely On their prize winnings TO support
them i'll their racing careers are not adj
verse TO stopping 10 petty means to win
race. Then, too, the jobbery that is
apparent is acting to the detriment Of
the sport. a handicap rider UD u good
mark has hut TO offer to reward couple
OF his Contestants TO get them to pull
him out to victory. This is not genuine
sport. 1t behooves all referees 10 watch
such tactics, and use the information to
procure the expulsion Of one or two riders,
that the example may prove a warning
to other members of the aggregation that
their nefarious practices may cease.

as to It's merits"

The great pianist. Madame Bloom

opportunity of hearing Madame Zeisler
at least in one recital here should not be

her remarkable talent some time ago:

there was in her something worth bring
ing out-these are the qualities that
have made this remarkable woman
what she is. and are destined, apparent
ly, to bring her later life to a fruitage
richer and more. abundant than the
most sanguine of it's early promises.
