Of his. the losers share in Monday
nights contest, in which he was de-
feated by DAILY. Ziegler scores the meth
DDS of the Greater New York Athletic
Club in severest terms. Evidently mis-
fortune pursues the lightweight prize
fighter. After Monday nights defeat,
Ziegler was arrested on the charge OF
passing a worthless check. When the
case came up in court 1t proved that
Ziegler had been a victim Of mistaken
identity. Hence he was honorably dis
charged. But, after all, even the path
of pugilist is not always strewn with
roses. DAILY states that he received only
1879, while he expected to be paid s., 900.
Judging from his letter, he does not
think much Of New York and intimates
that he has made his last appearance
there.

People who are just beginning their

expended more in the nature OF a money

A FIGHTING PRISONER.
Samuel j. Maloney Arrested BY Ser
geant KeIleher After Assaulting
q Man in q Hotel.


At an early hour yesterday morning
Robert McCadden, proprietor OF the
Delaware House, sent to the police
station for assistance to quell fight
which had been started in his barroom
by Samuel j. Maloney, who was accom-
panied by Joseph McGarvey and Michael
Fahey.
House Sergeant Daniel kelleher, Turn.
key Lewis Hammerer and Patroleman
O'Neil responded, and Sergeant Kelleher
was the first to enter the place.
Mr.. McCadden at seeing the officer
pointed to Maloney and ordered his ar
rest, at the same time stating that they
had assaulted David Cook as soon as
they entered the room.
The sergeant placed Maloney under
arrest and was taking him out Of the
barroom when Maloney struck him. The
officer says that he then succeeded in
getting Maloney on the pavement when
he was again struck by the prisoner. He
then threw him on his back and while
Hammerer and O'Neil kept Fahy and
McGarvey from interfering the sergeant
got his prisoner into the police station.
Here Maloney was told to kick the
officer and with the remark that he was
looking for more trouble he struck him
three times in the face. The officer then
in his own defense struck Maloney and
threw him on the floor, where he finally
succeeded in subduing him.
Maloney's case came up before Judge
Ball yesterday morning and was post
poned until Monday morning.
Prior to the arrest Sergeant kelleher
stated that the men had entered the
police station and had reminded him of
the time that he had arrested them, and
left after remarking that he could not
do it again.

1t is not generally known that the
present squabbles in progress between
the L. A. W. and the professional racing
men may extend over other sports.
1t is said that Buffalo's chances to Sc
cure the national meet of the L. A. W.
for next year have fallen off about SO per
cent. since the outbreak of the profes-
sional riders.
J. j. Casey, a professional bicycle
rider, left New York at midnight yester-

rider from Meriden, Conn.,, who will Try
to overtake him before he reaches
Boston.
Daily advice for those who need it:
Don't pull up suddenly without giving
those back Of you some little warning,
especially in crowded thoroughfare. 1t
is an easy matter to raise your hand or
give some other sign that you intend
slowing up. You may be riding behind
someone yourself some time and will ap.
preciate the signal.
A combined lock and holder for the
wheel has been invented by Canadian
A steel plate is attached to wall and
supports pair of pivoted arms which
form semi-circle at the outer end large

locks them together.
Cyclists in particular should realize
the unwisdom of doing anything to vio-
lently check perspiration, that automatic
process by which our bodies are kept
cool on hot day. The perspration on
the skin, in evaporating absorbs enough
heat to prevent the body from becoming
dangerously warm. If protuse perspira.
tion is allowed to evaporate suddenly,
too much warmth may be taken from
the body with the result of a dangerous
chill.
The proprietor of bicycle school in
Pennsylvania city was sued by pupil
for damages incurred during instruction.
1t appears that at the fifth lesson the

YOU'RE all right-pedal!" Thereupon

The court non-snited the plaintiff, hold
ing that the instructor was the best
judge as to when sine was able to go
alone, and he, having decided that she
was able to get along without assistance,
was not responsible for her injuries.
Arthur Gardiner has won nine cham
