Base Ball.

The home club played at Salem on
Saturday and were defeated by a score of
= to 2. Taylor and Murray were the
Woodstown battery, aud Hess and Viii
dermuth occupied the same points for
Salem. Hess formerly pitched for one of
the Pennsylvania State League clubs.
The Woodstown boys batted in hard
luck, for while they hit the ball as often
as Salem did, they couldn't get them out
OF the felders' reach. Taylor had the
Salem boys guessing for seven innings.
They scored two runs in the second in
ming and a punching of hits netted them
four more in the eighth. Woodstown
made their runs in the last two innings.
Vogeding played a splendid game for
Salem, making a two Dagger and a triple
besides fielding we'll. Salem made eight
hits and six errors, and Woodstown four
hits and three errors. Taylor struck out
eight and Hess four. The attendance
was small, being composed largely of
Woodstown followers. The Salem
'fans" have evidently recovered from
the attack of base ball fever they had a
couple of years ago, for only last year
their team, which was no doubt the best
in the South Jersey League, was forced
to disband owing to lack of patronage.
No doubt this ''cut some ice" in their
being left out of the League this year
~rinstead of the alleged absence of a rep.

mar from Salem was present at the meet
ing in Vineland last week.
The home club goes to Vineland to-
morrow afternoon.
Woodstown is said to have one of the
best grounds in South Jersey.
Gleason, Taylor, Murray and Kelly
stayed in town last Saturday evening,
stopping at the East Avenue.

A "bicyole livery" is the latest in
South Jersey.

The heaviest cycler is surely Joseph W.
Grimes, of Cleveland. He puts $40

An electric bicycle lamp has just bee n
patented that seems to eclipse all other
devices in that line. The battery is held
in the tool bag on the frame back of the
lamp. Who'll be the first to get one?
Great number of old pneumatic tires
come tack to the dealers, one concern
handing over 100, 600 tons a year. These
instead of being thrown away are now
sent to rubber reclaiming factories, where
the rubber in them is reclaimed by
certain processes. Last year over 1000
tons of old overshoes were imported into
this country from Germany for that
purpose.
The first 100 mile bicycle race to be
given in this country will be held at
Manhattan Beach, New York, Saturday,
July 10, under the auspices of the b arlem
Wheelmen. This sort of race has been
quite popular in the larger cities in
Europe. The secretary of the club has
already received a large number of re.
quests for entry blanks. and the prizes in
the 100 mile race will aggregate con.
siderably over $500.
A Massachusetts highwaymen with a
bulldog auxiliary recently made an
attempt to hold up a wheelman on the
road. He made a bad mistake. The
wheelman had a large-sized sauirt-gun,
loaded to the muzzle with ammonia,
which he discharged with paraly zing eff
feet upon both the highwayman and his
dog. Here is a valuable pointer for our
Jersey ~cyclers. Let them equip them
selves with squirt-guns and strong
ammonia, and whenever occasion pre-
sents itself initiate the valorous example
of the resourceful Massachusetts, man.
A more effective engine of wal could not
be devised.
Most men and women who ride bicycles
have enough good sense and knowledge
of the rules of the road to know that
when they meet bicycles or other vehicles
going in a direction opposite to their own,
each should keep to the right in passing.
But apparently a great many do not know
the other rule which requires them in
overtsking and passing another bicycle
to turn to the left. 1t is no uncommon
thing for men or women riding along on
the right side of the street to have other
bicycle riders dash by, crowding between
them and the curb. Every one who
passes another in that way violates a
plain and necessary Iule of the road and
will be entirely at fault in the event of a
collision. The theory is that the road to
the right belongs to the bicycle or wagon;
that the rider has the right at any time to
get out of the way of those coming in an
opposite direction by moving toward the
curb. If be cannot do that with out
being run down by some careless or
ignorant rider trying to pass him it is
evident that riding has become unsafe.
Of course, the rules of the road are to be
followed in common sense
