WHEEL TALK.

Advices from France allegc that the rae
ing situation in that country Is in an un-
settled condition. The Riders union,
whose membership includes all the crack
riders, has entered into an agreement with
the Union Cycliste of France to form an
association to assume jurisdiction over the
sport. Both sides have made concessions,
and the riders will take an active part In
the deliberations Of the new organization.
"It is not difficult to understand" says
an old rider, "why cycling Is ousting
walking as an exercise. An average pc
destrian covers about 80 inches TO each
step. The average wheelman at one royo
luton Of his pedals, which is equivalent to
q step, covers about II feet, and as the
movement is so easy and devoid of fatigue,
he usually raises his foot twioe.as often in
the same time, thus covering "a feet while
the pedestrian goes ga feet"
Manuel Garcia, a Mexican toreador, re-
Gently announced on flaming posters that
he would kill the most savage bull in OK
istence from his seat on a bicycle. Mexico
turned out to see the brave cyclist. Man.
uel appeared in the arena, brilliantly clad,
and the air was rent with thunderous ap-
plause as he wheeled round the barricade.
But the bull would not allow the glorious
traditions of the past to be upset. No bi.
cycle was going to do the trick for him, so
he put his horns in the wheels and hurled
Manuel 20 yards into space.
The demand for 1896 models of the
standard makes of bicycles has been ex
tremely large. The dealers account for Ii
by saying that the 1896 model differs SO
little from the 1897 model as to make it a
really very desiarble wheel at the lower
price asked. Nevertheless, the cut on 1896
models this spring is not as great as that
on 1895 models in the spring of 1896. This
perhaps is due to the fact that the demand
is so great, and due also to the fact that
the wheels arc so similar that the makers
by accepting so per cent less money than
the advertised price of 1896.
The League of American Wbeelmen, in
its efforts to push road improvement work
throughout the country. has decided to get
together sets of photographs of bad coun
try roads in all sections of the country.
To accomplish this the organization has
decided TO award S125 in prizes for pictures
of roads. The competition for the prizes
will not be limited to members of the l..
A. w. The national road committee has
divided the prizes as follows: First prize,
$780, second, S25; third, S15; fourth, $40,
and five of 60 each. The prizes are to be
awarded on single pictures, and no two
prizes will be awarded to a single competi.
tor. The pictures desired are to show the
inconvenience and losses resulting from
poor highways, especially to farmers.

but 8 years old as Little Mignon with the
Strakosch and Kellogg Opera company,
the Mignon being Marie Roze- Mapleson.
She also appeared with Clara Louise Kel-
logg, Annie Louise Cary, Blanca La.
Blanche and other celebrated singers. In
the season Of 1881 she was engaged by Mr..
and Mrs. Mckee Rankin to play Little
Bill In civilian and Susan" and con-
tinued in the support of these artists for
three years. She subsequently played
children's parts with Eflie Ellsler, Frank
Mayo, Ada Gray and others. In the re-
vival of "Pinafore' at Prsctor's Twenty
third Street theatcr, New York, by ju-
veniles in the summer of 1880 Miss Ham
ilton was engaged for Josephine and sub
sequently sang it ct the Boston theater.
Since that time she has been starring,
supported by her own company, in "Fogg's
Ferry, "Old Curiosity Shop" and other
plays, through New England, New York
and Pennsylvania, and in many places
her name is literally "a household word. 4"
Miss Hamilton's next appearance in
New York was another triumph. She
created the part of Georgia in Coon Hol
low" and received high praise from the
critics for her excellent conception of the
determined to try her fortune In London.
She went over and succeeded in getting
several engagements at tho large music
halls Of that city. She gave IA speciality
in which she sang number of negro mel
odies, which have since become very pop.
ular. Indeed SO good an impression did
she make that when che left the English
capital she carried with her contracts for
the summer of 1897 at largely increased
remuneration. Miss Hamilton few weeks
ago made another big New York hit in
the production of the really dramatic yer.
sion of 'Uncle Toms Cabin" at the Star
theater, where she played Topsy. AS this
was the first time she had ever "blacked
up" her success is all the more remark
able.
In appearance Miss Hamilton is very
petite. She probably does not weigh over
80 pounds, and that fact is OF distinct ad
vantage to her in the'line Of work which
she has beon essaying for the last few
years. Several offers have been made to
her to re-enter the starring field next year
but she prefers the joys and certainties OF
engagements with good companies to the
vicissitudes of stellar glory.

FRED PFEFFER.

Pfeffer, the veteran second base man, is at
tributed much of the Colts bad position in
the race. His fielding at critical points was
disastrous, and to his account are placed
five or six defeats. The natural outcome
was bis displacement from the nine. When
the New York club laid him off year
ago and finally released him, Pfeffer's old
time friends raised the cry of "discrimina-
ton" against the New York management.
Now the club is yindicated. Gleason is
playing one of the most brilliant games at
second base in the profession, and Pfeffer
is on the bench.
The CleyelanGs' start was weak one
in spite of the aid which Sockalexis rem
dered and the large number of their home
games. Taking into account the fact that
Tebeau and his men will have TO close the
season away from home during the final
six weeks of the race, it is hard to sec how
they can secure as good position at the
end as they had last year. The Bostons,
after the most discouraging start of any
club in the League, have pulled together
ard made good record on the western
trip. All things considered, on form the
Bostc1s must be rated as a probable one
two-threc fnisher. The Cincinnatis, as
usual, have shown their popularity Of be-
ing almost invinciblo at home and very
weak on the road. Their record in this
respect is notorious.
Philadelphia reorganizcd team is play
ing spotty ball-that is, making a bril-
liant run of victories and then indulging
I'm a string Of defeats. This uneven work
has characterized the clubs fortunes dur
ing the last three or four years. 1t can
only be ascribed to weakness in pitching
and q laundering base running business.
The Pittsburgs, all In all, have furnished
the real surprise of the spring. 1t was
generally believed that the team had been
weakened by late trades and changes, but
its showing so far in the season does not
carry out that theory. The pitching Of
Killen, Hawley and Tannehill has held
town opposing scores, and the nine has
batted In enough runs to win large per-
centage of games The teams eastern trip
will serve to give real estimate of It's
general comparative strength. After start
ing with most brilliant record the Louis
yilles took decline which indicates that
they are a sure second division candidate.
Still, the Colonels will do much better
than last years team did.
In spite of Nick Young's second procla-
nation to his umpires commanding them
to enforce the kicking rule to the letter
under penalty of losing their positions,
the umpires do not do 1t. Occasionally
captain or player is benched for persist
emily defying the rule, but IL the instruc-
tions of Young were carried out to the
word mines would be completely changed

What Is still more significant Is the ap-

Working the Railroads.

The transportation committee of the
National Baseball league was organized
for the purpose of saving money for the
various clubs by cutting down the railroad
expenses Of every club that desires to take
advantage of the rates made for the com
mittee by certain railroad lines. The roads
i'm the agreement with the committee agree
to carry the players for SO much per man.
How much this rate is on any road is
known only to tho road, the members of
the committee and to President Nick
Young. The club using the road does not
know how much it Is paying. When the
manager of a team wants transportation
over one Of these roads, he goes to the
Office Of the road, receives and receipts for
the number of tickets he wants. This re-
ceipt, together with the cost of the trans.
portation, is forwarded to Nick Young,
who then draws on the different clubs i'm
irregular amounts, SO that no club will
know how much was the cost of transpor
tation between certain points. In this
way no association can touch any road
making these rates, and 1t is expected con-
siderable money will be saved every club
desiring to take advantage Of this arrange
meut.

Captain Tebcau at his hotel in st. Louis
after game i'm which Tebeau expressed
his opinion rather plainly of McDonald's
honesty. Mcdonald wanted to make the
matter personal affair and fight It out.
Tebeau, profiting by his experience last
year, declined the issue
1t Is surely ludicrous-all this increased
trouble between umpire and player-when
one views it in the light of that last win
ter's legislation which was expected TO
make autocrats of the umpires and autoin-
atoms of the players. One might just as
well try TO take the fighting spirit from
O bulldog by kind words as to attempt to
suppress the kickers among baseball play
ers.
Gradually the old timers are dropping
out of the game TO give room to younger
favorites. Pfeffer, Connor and Beckley
were all sent to the bench within two
days. They may get back into active
work again for a brief time but ii Is the
beginning of tho end with them all.
Ewing has retired himself. Mcmahon Is
shifting. Stivetts and Clarke are on the
market. Fucker is left at home. In every
instance younger, more popular player
has pushed the old favorite off the track.

lOOKSLlKE RUNAWAY
Baseball Prospects as They Are
Viewed by Caylor. '
WILL THE UNEXPECTED HAPPEN!

Players Inclined to Take For Granted q
Defeat by Baltimore - Noted Players
Losing Their Grip--Umpires slow to En-
force the Kicking Rule.
At the end OF the first month of the Ma
tional league ponnant race it looks like
runaway affair, with the Baltimore cham
pions winning easily all the way. One
year ago the Baltimores were about fourth
in the struggle, with percentage of not
more than 600, and yet they won out
rather easily. This year they are a de-
cided first, with the unprecedented percent
age Of over 800. Not since 1883 has a
prominent baseball team taken such "a
running start in q pennant race. In that
year the Athletics of tho American asso-
citation started off with just such a rush
and won the pennant by u margin OF one
or two games.
II it wcro any of the other 12 clubs of
the major baseball organization which had
rushed off into such a prominent lead,
there would be more hope of it being
headed, but the Baltimores are looked
upon by the players Of the other clubs as
almost invincible, and as rule the oppos-
ing mines take defeat as granted before
they play the game.
Only the well established uncertainty of
baseball gives a hope that the unexpected
may turn up In some shape during the
remaining four months Of the race and
pull tho three times champions out Of
their stride. 1t Is the first year In which
they have led the procession so early, and
maybe this lead will have its astonishing
surprise q little later on. The chance Is
small one, however, and in the betting
ring the Baltimores wodld be an odds on
favorits against the whole field.
Some Of the other 12 teams are turning
up just as big surprises, though Of differ
ent kinds perhaps. The New York's poor
work in the west has been severe blow
TO baseball admirers of the metropolis.
Rusie's great pitching form is alone the
tedeeming feature of the Giants period of
"slump." Those who study form have no
doubt Of the New York clubs final ad-
Vancement, but its loss of so much ground
In the first fifth Of the race Is very dis
couraging. Still more disappointing has
been the Chicago's start because Anson
