Baseball Notes.
From present indications there will be
several strong amateur teams in this VI
cinity this season.
1t is reported that the new uniforms for
the Pawtuckcts will be of gray trimmed
with red or maroon.
The Directors of the Pawtucket Baseball
Club will meet very soon to complete the
details for the opening game of the season.
The Brockton management think they
have secured wonder in the person of
young Sheckard, who played with the Vir-
ginia League last season. While but 10
years old his record as ball PLAYER is
something to be proud Of. He is strong at
the bat as well as pitcher of ability. His
performance in game with Baltimore last
season in making single, double and a
three bagger off Tannehill will not be soon
forgotten by the astonished "Oriole."
The baseball games scheduled today are:
Tufts VS.. Boston University at College
Hill, Franklin and Marshall VS.. University
OF Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, Syracuse
at Washington, Pawtucket at Reading,
Wesleyan VS.. Yale at New Haven, Phil
lips vs. Brown at Providence, st. Paul at
Cincinnati, Baltimore at Newport News,
Philadelphia at Richmond, Milwaukee at
Louisville, Univerrity of Vermont at
Princeton, Boston at Greensboro, N. C.
Cycling Chat.
A bill for the taxation of bicycles was
recently defeated in the Vermont Legis-
lature.
Brockton wheelmen appear to be greatly
interested In the scheme for fall meet to
be held during the week OF the Brockton
fair.
Tom Sullivan, the professional sculler,
has joined England's squad of racing
cyclists.
The first woman to ride century in 1897
is said to be Miss Eckleman, secretary of
Alfred g. Doe of New Bedford states that
he has raised the necessary capital for
building a quarter mile bicycle track
which will be the best track in that Sec
tion Of the state.
When one takes into consideration all
the trouble that angry cyclists are en-
to make for the L. A. w., 1t
may be expected that President Potter
and Chairman Mott may lose few
nights sleep.
New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Ohio, California and
Arizona have all passed bills requiring
to carry biycles an baggage. The
wheelmen of Wisconsin and Kansas have
been defeated In their efforts to pass such
bills.
John w. Clendenning of Louisville, the
new treasurer Of the L. A. W., seldom
will see dollar of league money. The
executive committee has named a New
York bank as the repository of league
funds. This is not calculated to make
the treasurer over good natured, but then
he was against the New York machine
and what can he expect?
