AT THE NATIONAL MEET.
Two Famous Pleasure Pixies That
Will Attract WheeImen.

A large majority Of the thousands Of
wheelmen from all over the country
who will visit Philadelphia on the oc-
casion of the eighteenth annual meet
of the League of American Wheelmen,
which is scheduled for Aug. Az, will
doubtless take advantage OF the OPP
portunity to indulge in ride over the
famous old Lancaster pike, which wos
built in 1892, and was the FIRST hard
road ever laid down in the United
States.
Running almost parallel with the
Lancaster pike, and but short dis
tance to the east of 1t, is Montgomery
avenue, which was in days gone by
called the "old road to Lancaster" Lo-
Gated on this muchtraveled (by wheel
mem highway is that ancient hostelry
known as the General Wayne hotel
Here the thirsty Quaker cycler often
finds It convenient to stop and lubri-
cate. There is a famous old pump on
the premises, although the hotels reg
ular patrons are loud in their praise of
the brew that It's cool cellars contain.

QUAKER CYCLING ROUTES.
Thorough Plans for Tours and Runs
at the National Meet.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 4.-Realizing
that a thorough knowledge of the best
routes, both from a scenic viewpoint
and as regards the nature and condi-
tion OF the roads roundabout the Quak-
er City. is essential to effective work
on the tours and runs committee of the
coming national meet. 1t has been de-
cided that it shall be made up of the
entire corps of captains Of the organl-
cations which collectively form the
Associated Cycling clubs of Philadel-
phia. At the head OF the committee
has been placed Alfred II. Allen, cap
tain of the Century Wheelmen, the
largest League club in the country. A
better selection could not have been
made, as Captain Allen understands
thoroughly what is required of him.
Captain Aliens assistants on the
committee will be: John A. Mead.

Stars errors. The Stars defeat ruins
their chances of getting first place at
once even though they won two games
and Buffalo lost as many.
Rain prevented the Miners from get
ting even with the Canucks for that
throw-down by Knowles on Saturday,
and the same cause prevented the
Wilkes Barre Buffalo and Springfield
Rochester entertainments. If Griffin's
men had lost and Springfield won, the
latter would be in third place today.

One more run, one less hits and three
less errors is their record. OF course
runs, hits and errors are not the whole
thing" but it's safe wager that the
club which makes the fewest errors and
the most hits will at the finish crop out
somewhere near the top. That's why
the Miners are in third place now. The
comparison tables which have appeared
in The Tribune from to time to time
indicate that Scranton has made more
runs and hits and fewer errors than
the respective total runs, hits and err
rors of all the opposing teams. So 1t is
repeated that three defeats out of four
games doesn't indicate, according to
the details of the scores, that the team
hasn't been putting up a good article
of ball.
Some of the cranks are wondering
why Manager Griffin doesn't put
Meaney In right field in place of DAILY
This change may be made today, but
it is a chance as to what the result
will be and for just that reason DAILY
has been kept in the game.Daly wasn't
signed at nice snug salary for moth
ing. For years he has been one of the
best emergency hitters in this or any
league and had percentage of .349 in
115 games with Rochester last year.
Meaney hit at 1892 clip for Scranton
in 106 games. In the field neither has
an over-abundance OF speed and in
that respect they are about equal. DAILY
has not been hitting-that is certain.
His percentage to date is but .295 in 27
games, while that of Meaney in seven
games was .4S0, but that of course is
a rate impossible to maintain and
Manager Griffin knows It. Beard, who
ranked sixth in batting last year in the
league has only just begun to hit and
DAILY is due. 1t is evidently puzzling
Manager Sandy what to do under the
present circumstances.
