Robison's Ire Is Up.

A Cleveland special of recent date
says: President Robson came to town
in a rage over the filming of Tebeau by
the League directors. Said he regard
ing the matter: 81 am now preparing
a statement in which l will make
known a few facts that the magnates
of the National League will dislike to
see in print. | would like to know by
what authority these men got together
and fined one of my players 5000 with
out even notifying me that they were
about to consider his case. What court
in the land would attempt to hold trial
on n man without notifying him and
giving him a chance to defend himself?
| will say to you now that oliver Te-
beau will not pay one dollar of that
fine, that | will not pay one dollar of IT.,
and that Tebeau will play in every
game in which the Cleveland club plays
this season. AS far as the law busi-
ness is concerned, will give them all
of that they want, too. If DR.. Stuckey,
Mr. Jim Hart and the others have star
ed out to purify base ball will be with
them. will take hand in the purify
ing business, too, and | will show up
some of the 'rottenness' of the National
League. They have injured the repu-
tation of Tebeau, as well as that Of the
Cleveland club, to an irretrievable ex-
tent. and we are going to have salts

ANATOMY OF THE WHEEL

II causes considerable friction, and the
friction is what we must avoid, so far
as possible.
The quickest way to clean the chain
thoroughly is to soak it in kerosene oil.
Dirt. grease and all other accumula-
lions will be removed almost immedi-
ately. Put the chain in vessel and
use enough oil to cover II. When 1t
has soaked for awhile, take the chain
out and complete the task by rinsing
IL through clean kerosene. Wipe dry
and the chain is ready for use again,
as good as when IL was new.
OH the Best Lubricant.
Some riders, after cleaning the chain,
warm il up and then apply vaseline or
tallow. I do not believe that to be the
better plan. / have made it practice
To Intricate the chain with regular BIZ
cycle oil, placing one drop of oil on
each link. and working II In between
the links. Don't use soap as lubri-
cant IL has been advocated by some,
who ought to know better, as good
temporary lubricant. Experience has
taught us. however, that 1t is far from
satisfactory for the purpose.
When using oil or grease in any form
obout the wheel be careful 10 get none
Of II on the tires. Oil affects the rub
her seriously. IL will be well TO remem-
her also that tires work best when
cool and that the sun has almost as
had effect on them as oil. When riding
one cannot help having the tires
warmed up some, but when the wheel
is not in use it should be kept in a
cool place.
The bearings are another part OF the
machine which need especial care. In
all good wheels the bearings are IN
dust-proof case, so they do not require
attention so frequently as the chain
and sprockets. If bearings are cleaned
ont one n month IL will be sufficient
A little kerosene run through them VIII
do the work thoroughly. Wnen the
oil has eyaporated, a lubricating oil
may be applied. A few drops OF oil
in the bearings is better than gallon
There is little danger of getting too
much. because the oil will work itself
out. But that makes an oil-covered
wheel. which is undesirable for many
reasons one OF which is that 1t Will
ruin the appearance of a smart bicycle

New York's Star Pitcher.

w. II. Clark. at p resent the star
pitcher OF the New York club, was
born January 7, 1868, at Oswego, N. Y.
His first professional engagement was
with team that represented Norwich
In the Central New York League in
1886, he beginning the season with that
club, but finishing II with the Oswego
team, of the International Association.
In 1887 Clark began the season with
Sandusky and finished with Des
Moines. He began the season of 1888
with Chicago. but was soon released
and signed with Omaha, with which he
remained continuously until the end
OF 1891. In 1892 Clark was a member
OF the Toledo team. of the Western
League. In 1898 he helped the Erie
club, of the Eastern League, to win the
championship by pitching in eighteen

costume. Sprockets are very easily
cleaned, and should be gone over with
an oil rag. They do not need to be
cleaned as frequently as the chain,
which should be looked after once a
week at least. When cleaning the bear
ings 1t will be well to see II they are
properly adjusted. They should work
with no outside play, yet loosely
enough to run freely.
This description applies to an ordi-
nary diamond frame wheel. There are
many extra attachments, and different
makers have different ways OF putting
a wheel together, so that they may diff
fer In one or two minor details. The
description given, however, is in the
main correct. 1t includes mud-guards
and their fittings, which are used but
little here, but are on all wheels made
in England. They are used generally
on drop-frame wheels in this country.

A Star Second Haseman.

Asa Stewart, the clever second base
man OF the Indianapolis team of the
Western league. was born at Terre
Haute, Ind, in 1869, and learned to
play ball at his native place. His first
professional engagement was with the
Terre Haute team in 1889. In 1890 he
was with the Anderson team of the In
diana State league, and his excellent
all-around work materially aided his
club in winning the pennant OF its
league that year. In 1891 he began the
season with the Oconto club of the Wis
consin league, but finished IL with the
Fond du Lac team of the same league,
taking part that year in eighty-three
Of the ninety championship games
played, in fifty-seven of which he play
ed second base, and in the other
twenty-six he filled various other po-

Diamond Dust.

John McGraw, Baltimore's great third
baseman, who has been i'll since last
March, reached that city from the
south recently. He is not yet strong
enough to play ball. McGraw is draw
ing full pay from the club.
The Chicago and Cincinnati officials
have given it out cold that they will
mete out to the Clevelands the same
dose as President STICKY gave them
upon the same provocation. They say
they do not propose to have the build
ing-up work of years pulled down by
a few players whom the league appar-
entity dare not call down."
To Roger Conner has been given the
herculean task of getting together for
st. Louis championship team for next
season. Stirred by the success of Cap
tain Ewing with team that two years
ago was travelling in the st. Louis
stakes. Chris Won der Abe has decided
that Ewing's old side partner can do

IT is a fact that players of the McPhee
order-stars in their respective posi-
tions-never make errors on hard plays.
They never fall down on plays of the
kind on which ordinary players make
their errors. 1t is on little simple plays
of the kind on which one would not
expect the veriest amateur to make an
error that these kings of the diamond
trip up on.
While on the subject Of the Cleve-
land rowdyism at Louisville why don't
some of the writer's who abuse the
Cleveland men take breath long enough
to remember that perhaps If the Louis
villes had not resorted to the unsports-
manlike trick of deliberately playing
for darkness there would have been nc
occasion for the subsequent row WITH
Umpire Weidman.

The recent discovery Of flint imple-
ments in Somaliland by Mr.. Seton
Karr is regarded as an important con-
tribution to the evidence by means OF
which men OF science hope, eventually,
TO be able to locate the cradle OF the
human race. The Implements referred
TO are identical in form with those
found in northwestern Europe and IN
India. and this fact Is thought to be
an indication that in the remote pre-
historic times called the Paleolithic age
the inhabitants of Asia, Africa and Eu-
rome belonged to a single race.

Harmony Lacking.

Outside of the weakness at shortstop
the Louisville club as 1t stands seems to
be strong enough to have made better
showing than il was able IN do on the
Eastern trip, and the club officials have
finally come to the conclusion that the
poor showing made was more on ac-
count of lack of harmony in the ranks
than inability to play ball, and in
cluded in the list of those players who
will no longer be colonies, are the men
who have been accused of knocking.
Pitcher Hill seems to need more sea-
soning and will be sent to the farm. A
chance was offered to loan pitcher Tom
Smith to Buffalo. but he did not want
to play with the "Bisons" and ii was
not insisted upon. McDermott, il is
said, will be sent to the bench without
pay, and will have long siege of it
drawing no salary unless there is a
radical improvement in his work.
Pitcher Mcfarland has been recalled
from Rochester. and it is possible that
pitcher Herman, of the same team. may
also be recalled. Both of these players
belong to the Louisville club.
