BICYCLE CURIOSITIES.

The racing bicyclist, like many other
people, Is not unsusceptible 20 the allure

races promoted by the Associated Cycling
Clubs Of Philadelphia, which organization

largest money prize hung up during the
entire 1896 national circuit This liber-
ality on the part OF the A. G. G. resulted

riohed 20 the extent of nearly 81 300 In
consequence. This experience has strength
ened the confidence OF the 1897 national
meet executive committee In the wisdom
OF again hanging up unusually large
purses and for that reason the sum OF
", 500 was voted 10 the committee which
will have charge OF the Willow Grove races.

rain. Neither team mad scored and Um-
pire Gaffney called the game for 30 min
utes. 1t cleared up before the half hour
expired. but IL was 10 minutes before
sand had been scattered at the plate and
I'm tho box. Then Manager Brecken-
ridge refused to allow his team to play as

at the Syracuse players and their man

suited in Kuntsch saying that MIR. Irwin

National League.


Baltimore yesterday, but the crowd Of
spectators was so dense that the out
fielders were greatly hampered and the
ground rules that were put in force de-
tracted greatly from the interest in the
game. Bergen split his finger in the
seventh inning and was replaced by
Camel. Long and Jennings did some
phenomenal fielding. while Duffy led in
the batting with five hits out OF five
times at the bat. In the seventh Bos-
ton piled UP 1--WE runs on five hits, home
run and an error by Doyle. The at
tendance was ~ 600.
