past, present and probable future, the big
cycle manufacturers have decided to make
the chainless, bevel-geared bicycle the fea-
ture and novelty of next season.
The manufacturers have been forced to take
this action by the fnal:ty of pattern that
the bicycle. has reached. The '97 wheel
differed from the '96 wheel In but a few
minor details and was practically the same
machine. Those who had bought new wheels
each year when they compared their 97 mount
with that of the previous season could see
no advantage in changing bicycle that had
been satisfactory for twelve months, and
was still in as good condition as when they
bought it, for an untried machine that showed
practically no difference in Its construction
There may have been a small change in the
spoke connections, in the shape and SIZE of
the hubs and crank hangers, but the sales
men were compelled to admit that there was
no important improvement over the '96 wheel
This led great number of the yearly
purchasers to hold off and stick to their 96
wheel until some radical change had been
made in the construction of the bicycle, and
the cha:nless wheel is the solution of the
problem for the manufacturers.
Foreseeing the condition of affairs the Pope
Manufacturing company bought all the pat
ents covering the important features of the
beVel-geared or chainless wheel, and after
twenty,four months of experimenting are
satisfied that the chainless wheel will be
a success. dozen CT the largest concerns
in the country have fallen into line from
time to time and secured a license to manu-
ldctufe Wneels under THESE patents; notWith-
standing the fact that they were held by a
rival firm.
The chainless wheel was shown at the
beginning Of the 81 season and several had
been built the year before for experimental
purposes But the machinery necessary to cut
the bevel gear was so expensive that the manu-
facturers were unwilling to revolution: re
their entire pants until they were assured
that the chainless wheel would be the wheel
of the future. So it was that practically
no bevel-geared wheels were manufactured
for the ~ season.

CaspaF Whitney Admits the ChaHge
in Western Athletics.

Caspar Whitney, the sporting editor of
Harper's Weekly has changed his mind re-
gafding professionalism in Western colleges.
He now admits that a change has taken
place since he brought his sensational charges
two years ago, and he also praises the thor
ough improvement which he concludes has
been effected. He stopped in Chicago the
other day on his tour around the world,
and while there indited to his paper aft-
Gle on the Athletic Regeneration in the Mid
die Vest He says:
In the ten years l have devoted to study
ing the various questions making in the
amateur sport of America, l have never
known more serious ones than those which
arose. in the Middle West three years ago,
nor have such prompt and effective meas
ures yet come under nay notice as those
adopted and enforced by a majority of the
universities of that Ssecton. l am frank
enough to say that there has been accom-
pllshed in two years in the Middle West re-
suits which the extreme East was about
half a dozen years in attaining. The ethics
OF the larger universities of the Middle West
now compare most favorahiy with those of
the colleges Of corresponding importance in
the East. Indeed, i1F the matter of recruit
ing athletics through t'eating. clubs and
other means originally devised for helping
INDECENT students, and the prohibition Of
games with club teams of questionable status,

Chicago, Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois are
officially maintaining even more cemmenda-
BILE attitude than are Princeton, Pennsyl-
vania, Dartmouth and Lafayette"

There have been examples in the season

ticaIly applied and lnone more gratifying
than that Of the Michigan base ball manager,
who gave that university the first genuine
amateur nine it has had In years. There

one of the most unpleasant accomplishments
of Western athletics it is the tendency to
chase after championships" The Wcsterner
evidently considers the season games so much
wasted effort if no championship has been
determined and so he worries a great deal
about schedules and leagues and incidentally
drifts away from the doctrine of sport for
sports sake.
1.-The championship has long ben literally
myth-it is impossible where there saare
number of colleges, or where even a few are
widely separated 1t would be a very serious
mistake were Chicago, Michigan, Northwest
ern, Illinois, Minnesota ard Purdue to or
ganlze a league for the purpose OF round
robin schedule that would determine cham
pionship 1t would necesstate a long, hard
schedule that really would attach no espe-
cial significance to the result and lead to
much misconception of the, usefulness OF
college sport.
Leagues for rule-making for providing
tribunal of appeal when the need arises, are
desirable but unquestionably there should
be no attempts to play every team within
hailing distance Colleges should meet their
natural and adjacent rivals, and two big
games be the limit
Wisconsin doesn't fare well at his hands
as Minnesota, as the following will testify:
Looking over the leading colleges Of Sis
Middle Western section-Chicago, Mime
sofa. Michigan, Lake Forest Illinois, Wis
consin, Northwestern-we find that the ones
whose present athletic condition is most
healthful-Chicago, Michigan, Minnesota. IL
linois and Lake Forest-are the ones where
the faculties have been the dominant factor
of control If Wiseonsins faculty was un-
hampered by regents and an undergraduate
sentiment which seems more unwholesome
than that of any other college in this sec
tion, Wisconsin would not have fallen from
the leading position 1t once held. 1 know
of none more earnestly in sympathy with
honest sport than some of the Wisconsin
faculty. Last year clique of undergraduates
and the regents succeeded in dishonering
Wisconsin, and we cannot tell what they may
not do this year, and we must withhold our
confidence in the good Intentions of those
in athletic control until they give us some
amateur teams"

KNOXVILLE is INTERESTED.
Authorities Want Charles McAvoy
Held for Awhile

Chief Schweitzer last evening re-
ceived telegram from Chief of Police
Atkins, of Knoxville, Tenn, regard
ing Charles MeAvoy, whom the police
say is a pickpocket, under arrest in
this city. The message requested that
his possession be held until further in
formation from Knoxville, which will
follow by letter. From papers found
on McAvoy, it appears that he has
travelled extensively since leaving St
Paul some months ago, and the local
authorities infer from the telegram
that there is likely some charge
against him at Knoxville. McAvoy is
confined at the county jail pending a
preliminary hearing in the police
court, on the charge of having stolen
property in his possession.
