FOREIGN CYCLE NOTES

A suggestion has been advanced in Eng
land that ]. X. Starley. the inventor of the
safety bicycle. should be knighted. IL Ia
said that knightly honors will be scattered
with q bounteous hand at jubilee time and
that some of these should be awarded to
men in the cycle trade. The cycle, Il In
claimed. has done more for the working
man and the middle classes than any other
invention of the Victorian era. and has be-
come a valuable auxiliary to military
forces.
The National Cyclists Union of England
maintains strict discipline in races held
under its jurisdiction. In a recent race
Spencer and Maclaren, the crack tandem
team. rode carelessly at the finish of a six
hour race and were suspended for thirty
days.
Bicyclists in Berlin are compelled to carry
a number about large as a locomotive
headlight and illumination at night, so that
when a scorcher misuses his wheel to run
down pedestrian the injured party or
some bystander can take notice of the
number and the offender can be spotted
afterwa-d, IL he does not see ft to stay.
As the numbers are officially registered, Il
is difficult to avoid detection.
For ways that are peculiar. 1 suppose
that the hotel proprtetors take a lot OF
beating" writes an American from Paris.
1T has been always understood that they
regard IL as valuable privilege to be
patronized by the Touring Club BY agree
ing to a reduction of 10 per cent to menu
bers of the club they had the advantage of
having their hotels advertised in the books
issued by the T. c. F.. while II certainly
seemed to be good business on their part
to secure the custom of the cycling fra
ternity. even at lower prices than those
paid by the ordinary clients. The members
OF the club have always been under the
impression that they received preferential
treatment from the hotel keepers but all
Of this seems to have been a bluff on the
part Of the hotel men. A little while ago a
cyclist put up at a hotel. and on receiving
the bill claimed 10 per cent or as a Tour
ting Club member. The hotel keeper refused
to accede to this request. You see,' he ex-
planned. we add 10 per cent to our ordinary
tariff for the benefit of the Touring Club,
and then make a discount of a similar
amount to members so that they pay eH-
actly 1he same prices as ordinary travel

SUNDAY BALL PROJECTED
Record of the Clubs,

Bases on balls undoubtedly lost the
game to the Senators yesterday at Gin
cinnati. King and German permitting bat
ters to walk to first. and then the follow
ing players would slug the ball for kecps,
driving the free passages to first over the
home plate. Breitenstein was as bad off
in his work as King, but BILLY" Rhines
was substituted for the great left-hander
in the sixth inning. and pitched good ball
for the Reds from then to the finish. not
allowing another run to cross the plate.
The Senators started Off very well, scor-
ing two runs in the first inning on ter
rific drive to the right field bleacEers for a
home run by Mcclure. who carried De
Montreville in ahead of him, the latter
having gone to first on balls. Another run
was Tailed In the second, through Reflly's
pretty single to center. another in the
same place by Cartwright, the players
working the hit-and-run game Reilly GO
ing to third. and then home on an error of
Beckley's. In the fifth inning the Senators
went to work again on the $40, 900 beauty"
and actually drove him from the rubber.
De Montrevflle went to first on Irwin's
error: Mcclure went out on fly to center,
and then De Montreville made two out,
trying to steal second. Here is where the
fun began. OBrien hit to right for two
bases and Wrigley brought him in with
single to left. Reilly then hit scorching
single to center. and the ball flew past
Hoy. allowing Wrigley to score. and Reilly
to reach third. Cartwright then ham,
mered out another single and Reilly
came in. In the sixth inning the last run
was scored for the Senator'S Brown sin

ANCIENT PAPYRI FOUND,

Important Manuscript ana Cofns
Found in an Old Mound.
A special to the New York Sun from
London says:
A great find of ancient papyri in Egypt
has been made by GrenfeIl and Hunt, who
are working in behalf of the Egyptian ex-
ploration fund. At Behneseh many an
cient rubbish mounds yielded a rich store.
In three mounds the quantity of rolls found
is large enough to warrant the assump-
ton tiiat part Of the archives had been
thrown there.
The papyri range from the Roman con-
quest to early Arab times. Each century
ments are written I'm Greek, with a sprink-
ling Of Latin, Coptic and Arabic. Little n
yet known of the contents. but Grenfell'e
hope. n digging at the site of Oxyrynchus,
of finding early Christian documents y
realized.
Among the papyr is q leaf from a third
century papyrus book containing q col-
lection of the sayings of Christ. Some OF
these sayings are not In the gospels and
others exhibit Emergencies from the text
of the gospels. II is believed that when
the papyr are examined In detail further
discoveries of Christian records, as well
as fragments of lost classical literature
win be found. since In some of the mounds
large proportion of the papyn are writ
ten in unctals. which were largely cm-
ployed during the first few centuries OF
the Christian era.
One hundred and fifty rolls. In many
cases several feet long. have been retained
at the Gizeh museum. and the rest are on
the way to England.
Besides the papyrf q number OF coins. 800
inscribed tiles. bronze and ivory orna-
mcnts and other objects Of the Roman sxd
Byzantine periods have been recovered.

Report of a COnspiracy I'm the Greek
Cabinet Against Him.
News of a conspiracy against King
George of Greece, far more deeply rooted
than was supposed, comes from a Russian
source, a Berlin dispatch reports.
There is indubitable evidence that Pre-
mier Ralli and his colleagues In the cab
met are implicated in the plot to overthrow
the dynasty.
The sultan has ordered the official CEN
sors to suppress any sympathetic references
to. or anxiety concerning, the Greek royal
family, a Constantinople correspondent tel
egraphs. or to mention any improvement
in Greek finances. The police in the Gala
ia section of the city have been ordered to
arrest ali persons dealing in Greek secur-
tiles.
Greece will be compelled to pay a large
indemnity, says the koinische Zeitung. to
reduce her army to 10000 men and to give
up her fleet.
An Athens dispatch. censored. of course,
says:
REPORT of alarming anti-dynastic trou-
bles published abroad cause surprise here,
as there is no sign of any such movement,
nor is any prominent politician likely to
commit himself to an anti-dynastic pro-
gram.
1T appears that the Prince of Wales has
expressed his personal desire that Crown
Prince Constantine shall come to London
for the jubilee festivities. and this is re-
garded as indicative of English good will
toward Greece.
Turkeys continued arming and the re-
ported Russian preparations, with other
rulnors of beIlicose character. raise the
hopes of some of the Greek newspapers
that Greece may yet benefit from a general
European war. But the majority of the
nation, sobered by sad experience. only
desires that Europe should protect Greece
against her conqueror.
There Is no reason TO fear that either
Bulgaria or Servia will abandon the policy
followed thus far. The Turkish troops sent
to the Servian and Bulgarian frontiers are
only intended to replace those withdrawn
just before the war began"

Saturday afternoon trade was COM

Louis clubs. whereby Tommy Dowd is given
for Hallman. Grady and Harley. The Phila-
delphia papers speak rather dubiously of the
deal, and well they might. Tommy Dowd
cannot play second base. and in comparison
with Billy Hallman in that position is not
one-two-seven.s From the ST. Louis side
the trade is all wool and a yard wide
along through his aggressiveness, while
Hallman will fill the bill at second and

Harley will take Dowd's place in the field,

There is hardly room for two opinions rs
to the wisdom Of the deal by which the
Phillies secure Tommy Dowd. The fact
that Stallings gave three men in exchange
does not enter into the argument Grady
and Harley were superfiuous. There was
no way in which they could be used on the
team. The only point open for discussion
Is: Will Dowd be q more valuable man ut
second than Hallman? We think he will
Hallman can play far better ball than he
has played in this city during the past five
years, and probably when he joins the
Browns there will be those who will regret
his departure. But in considering the rela-
tive value of the two men we must be
guided by what Hallman really did. not
what he might have done. Dowd Is what
