1t is reported that Bald and Cooper have
agreed to race at the Electric park, Balti-

out Of three, and the prize 81, 900 purse, with
60 per cent Of the gate receipts to go to
the winner.
Tom Cooper says he hopes that whatever
association is to have control of racing will

every ones satisfaction when the season is

In remote country district of England
were found recently two veteran bicyclers.

To the rider who is deliberately guilty of
frightening horse, the punishment should
be as swift and severe as that deserved by
a driver who dashes recklessly into wheel
man; in fact, it should be more severe, for
in the first instance many lives may be at
stake, while in the latter only one is risked.
New Zealand comes to the fore with
strange story. In the southern island Is a
lady of sixty, who has ridden 100 miles in
single day, and she computes that she has
covered in all 5000 miles since she first be-
came possessed of her bicycle. After listening
to this one may bear the strain of hearing
further that this valiant woman is the mother
of twenty-one children.
The czar Of all the Russias Is something Of
trick rider since he has cultivated the art
of Workmanship while mounted his bfcy-

rifle, something after the pattern Of a rock
rife, but possessing far greater carrying
power. He is able to raise this to his Shout
der with one hand while steering and shoot
with great proficiency.
A matter which Is attracting considerable
attention Is the international race meet which
will be held in Scotland July % to Aug. l.
In previous years some American wheelmen
have been in Europe at the time Of this event,
and A. A. Zimmerman won 1t in 1893 tn Eng

Germany in 1895, but was disqualified ON a
technieality. At present there are no Ameri-
can racers on the other side who are likely
to enter. But there Is possibility that some
fast Americans may go there at the time OF
the races.

Shugart waited for four and it looked
as though Figgemeier might be deto-
mated before the sunset gun, but after
Spies sacrifice and Mullane's grounder
to Pickett had tied the score Mcbride
failed to connect for once. and the
team returned again. The Mil ers wasted
two-hagger after two men were out,
and 1t was a tie with the innings even.
But for two innings the locals went
one, two, three, without reaching first,
and in that time the entire complexion
of the game was changed. Pickett's
base on balls, Cassidy's sacrifice to
Giasscock, Shugart's muff Of Kuehne's
high fly, after a hard run, and Boyle's
grounder to Shugart forcing Kuehne
out, combined with the result that the
visitors made one more, a run in the
lead. In the next inning, however they
went at the Saints hammer and tongS,
and the locals went to pieces as If they
thought that was what they We're paid
for. Three straight hits from the top
of the card, and the third homer, gave
the visitors three earned runs. Miller
had what looked like a safe hit sailing
Well but 'Tacks" Parrott went into
the air and did one of the finest fielding
plays that was ever seen, pulling the
ball down with the certainty of the ulti-

fumbled Pickett's grounder moment
but threw the pirate out at first. But
Cassidy waited for four Kuehne hit
over Mullane's head. Tony broke It's
force. but Shugart fused with it until
all the runners were safe. Boyle also
waited for four, and passed ball for
Spies let in another run, making it ten
to five. Figgemeier's fly tempted Nyce
back into the field pretty well, but it
fell through his outstretched hands.
Three more safe hits, a throw by
O'Rourke over Nyce's head, and Null
lanes tumble Of Miller's sky-scraper,
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-05-17

raised the Millers' total score to fifteen
before the inning was finally concluded
by Pickett's pop to Nyce.
Spies hit a hot one, which neither
Figgemeier nor Pickett could encom-
pass, but the next three went out on
flies, O'Rourke's being a promising liner
that went straight into Pickett's nit
ten.
Manager Comiskey then put Munich,
the ex-South st. Paul Packers pitcher,
into the box, and he gave Kuehne four
wide ones after hitting Cassidy.
O'Rourke's carelessness filed the bases
with not soul cut, but the new boy
struck out Figgemeier, and Ball only
popped up short one to Glasscock.
Spies took Lally's foul fly, and the
bases were still full when the inning
closed.
The locals played listlessly and did
not get the ball out Of the diamond nor
a man to first base. Two good singles
and an opportune grounder to Shugart
gave the visitors one more run in the
eighth, their sixteenth.
Figgemeier threw Parrot out at first,
and Shugart delayed the game by
knocking several fouls, finally lending
some small encouragement by a nice
ground hit over second base. Spies, how
ever, hit to Ball. who covered second
and started double play which ended
a game which had been source Of deep
disgust to the former admirers of the
st. Paul team. Score:

Among all the stories on his grand
father, William Henry Harrison, the
one that ex-President Harrison enjoys
the most is that which relates to an
incident at drawing room held by
Mrs. Madison at the 'Whftef house In
1873 It was shortly after the battle
Of the Thames, and Gen. Harrison, the
hero of Tippecanoe, was the mos.

of great beauty and high connections
said to the president:
"Gen. Harrison has received my

this morning, starting from this very
house with his horse and attendants,
and must now be some forty miles Oh
his way to the West"
''Still, 1 laid my commands upon
him." said the lady, "and he is too gal
liant man to disobey me-"
Somewhat nettled. Madison replied:

The words had scarcely left his lips
when the door opened and in walked
