TAME FRISCO RACES.
ZeigIer Beaten in Two Events by a
Com biHatiOH.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, May 9.-The BIZ
cycle races at the Ve'odrome today were well
attended, but the sport was rather tame,
and, with the exception of the two-thlrds
mile professional, failed to arouse enthusiasm
on the part of the spectators.
The final of this event resulted in a spir-
tied contest. Zeigler was first to catch the
pacemaker, closely followed by Jones and
Davis. The latter two, by clever maneuver-
ing, succeeded in dislodging the Little De-
mon" from the coveted position In the fifth
lap, and before the latter could straighten
himself out fer the final sprint Jones and
his team mate were a dozen yards in ad-
vance of him. Jones won by two lengths,
while Davis just lasted long enough to beat
Zeigler for place.
The two-mile post race, professional, proved
a farce. Zeigler Immediately secured the first
four points, but Jones and Davis resorted to
team work, and as a result Davis secured a
lead of fully half a lap. 1t was practically
impossible to catch him at this stage and he
secured the remaining six points and the
race.

MANNING GETS FRIEND.
Chicago Loans Him Indefinitely to
Kansas City.

Danny Friend has ceased to wear the
white stockings of the Chicago base ball
team, said the Chicago Chronicle yesterday.
He has not been released, but he was yes
terday loaned indefinitely to the Kansas City
management of the Western league Danny
was willing to go, for he realized that his
chances of future life In the big league de-
pended in large degree upon chances OF work
for the next few weeks. He will join Kan
sas City at Milwaukee today, and will prob
ably pitch against the Cream City team on
the following day.
Friend has had bad luck this season, and
he feels it keenly. He went to Hot Springs
to start practice witt the Colts, seemingly
in the best of health, but he was taken sick
before his work was well begun. He partially
recovered, but his arm did not get into shape.
and he showed up poorly in comparison with
the other pitchers. He stayed with the team
until it reached Cincinnati preparatory to the
league opening, and then he was sent on to
his home in Chillicothe. He remained there
until last Sunday, when he came to Chicago
to rejoin the Colts. He chafed for a trial in
the box. and asserted that he was in condi-
ton to take the slab, but Arson saw that the
cratic left-hander had not yet rounded to,
and did not care to experiment with him.
The first intention was to take him to Cleve-
land, but this at the last was given up, and
Danny was left behind to keep company with
Donahue, Terry and Connors on the reserves.
Manager Jimmy Manning, of Kansas City,
came to town yesterday, and there was not
much chance in the meeting between him and
Danny. Manning S team mas peen having
Chicago luck, and on the principle of the
neutralizing effects of two evils he was look
ing for dropoings from the Chicago team.
The conference of manager and pitcher was
satisfactory to both, and the two Went to-
gether to Jim Hart. Hart was more than
willing to assent to the loan. and the matter
was soon set. ed.
I'm glad to have the deal made" said
Hart, .'for it will probably mean the saving
to us of a good pitcher. Danny will get work
We couldn't possibly give him, and he will
come back to us in fire fettle at a time when
perhaps we will need him most"
A gathering of hard-luck managers took
place in President Hart's office yesterday
afternoon. First and foremost there was Hart
himself. The others were Connie Mack, of
Milwaukee, and Jimmy Manning, of Kansas
City, of the Western league teams. Mack's
aggregation has won four and Manning's five
out of thirteen games played each. The
three ccndoled tenderly together, and the
balm Of solace was in all instances belief in a
future as bright as the past had been dark.
