CYCLING NOTES.

The L. A. W. Bicycle Club of Indian
apolis has completed arrangements by
which it secures a handsome new club
house on the principal residence street
of the city. The building is adrnira bIv
suited for clubhouse, and will be used
as the headquarters during the week
OF the meet.
The bicycle has reached its very lowest
price, according 10 a Philadelphia paper,
and persons who intend purchasing '98
machines viii be interested in the an
nouncement that a well-known manu-
facturer's agent was on Saturday of
fered a lot Of 500 bicycles with tires Il
s13.59 each for export.
Among the many things the popu-
larity OF the bicycle is attributed to is
the pneumatic tire. Bicycle men say
that from the very moment of its intro
duction the popularity of the wheel in
creased. 1t has been deemed the cycIer's 5
friend. The Improvement over the solid
tire being at the time of its inception
noticed to such an extent that the BIZ
cycle industry was from that moment
revolutionized. The success of the pneu-
matte tire on bicycles has been the cause
of their adoption for other vehicles
The rules regulating the selling Of BIZ
cycles on the installment plan this year
have beeen rigidly modified The inten-
ton of demanding a bigger amount than
is usual to be paid down on the pur-
chase of wheel has been very widely
discussed by dealers throughout the
country. AS a proof of this, the cycle
board Of trade of Long Island has de-
cided that, on the instalment plan. buy
ers must pay $50 down on $50 wheel,
with s. added to the original price, and
all payments must be made within eight
months. Undesirable customers will also

KENNEDY Is ACQUITTED
The Jury Deliberates Four Hour
on His Case.
rba defendant and His Attorneys
warmly Congratulated After
the Decision.

Mr.. John Kennedy. the coal dealer,
charged with violating the statute reg
ulating the sale of coal in the District,
was yesterday acquitted of the charge
by a jury in the police court. The spe-
cific charge against the defendant was
not delivering to the drivers of his
carts certificates as prescribed by law.
The complaint was that on January s
he delivered coal at the Dennison
school building. signed by District In
spector Howard. and not by John Ken
nedv. the seller. When the information
was sworn out il also charged the de-
fendant with delivering short-weight
cCal. but when the Government was
called on TO elect on which count ii
would proceed against the accused,
the prosecuting attorney entered a
noIle prosequi as To that charge.
The trial consumed the greater part
of three days and was stubbornly con-
tested on both sides.
The defendant was represented by
Mr.. Alpheus Johnson and Judge Jere
NJ. Wilson, while the interests of the
Government were looked after by AS
sistant United States Attorney Alex Il.
Mullowny.
The testimony in the case took very
wide range, and every matter which
could be brought to bear on the ques-
ton was produced in evidence.
Judge Scott in his ruling said: The
ground of complaint in this informa-
ton is the alleged failure and neglect
Of the defendant to deliver to the per-
son in charge of the wagon used in
delivering the coal mentioned in the
first count OF the information a GER

quired by section l. Of the act of March
2. 1895.

BASEBALL SMALL TALK.

In d letter to Manager Ned Hanlon. OF
the Orioles. De Mont speaks of his am
bition to play ball according to the
"Hanlon idea" and thinks he will make
his greatest reputation as member OF
the Baltimore team. He also said he
is glad to play with the Orioles and is
ready to do his very best. 1t is thought
that he will get more money than the
Washington club paid him.
1t is expected that the Phillies will
start for Cape May about the first week
in March to put on preliminary touches
for a lively season.
The Pirates will not be overburdened
with increased salaries next season.
Manager Watkins doesn't believe in
coaXing the men to. do their best by
extra financial offerings. He says no
man on the Pittsburg team is entitled
to more money next season than he re-
ceived in 1897.
Joe Corbett, the, Oriole twirler. is
spending his leisure time in Frisco
pitching for amateur and semi-profes-
sional teams there Bill Lange, of the
Chicagos, is doing likewise.
"Scrappy Bill" Joyce doesn't place
much faith in natural ball players. The
stars. he says, are the men who study
the game and then work out the strong
points. Tt would not be well for Scrap
py Bill to lose the natural players on

New Suggestions.
Baltimore. Feb. 9.-Manager Hanlon
| has read the copy of the changes in the
playing rules sent on by Jim Hart. and
II is not likely that he will affiX his
signature, as he does not approve OF
many of the changes suggested.
Many of these changes are trivial.
An attempt is made to define more
strictly the balk and also to make
more clear an infield hit and an illegal
delivery. Hart proposes to drop earned
runs altogether, proposition that
Hanlon does not agree with. The Bal
timore manager thinks that earned
runs should be scored in order to keep
a line on the pitchers.
The rules about umpires are changed
so as To conform to the double umpire
system The umpires shall be called
the referee umpire and associate UNI
pire. The first named shall stand be-
hind the bat and shall be the sole judge
of balls and strikes, and fouls. The
other shall "iVe the base decisions eN-
cept those occurring at the home plate.
The referee umpire shall be the chief
and all appeals must be made 10 him,
and only by the captains of the teams.
kicking players shall be removed from
the field and shall further suffer such
suspension from the game as the UNI
pire or president of the league shall
deem fit.
Hanlon does not like Harts amend
ments with reference to kicking play
ers. as it gives too great a power to
the umpires. The scoring rules are so
amended that no base hit shall be
scored where man is forced out on the
plav. If a man. in an attempt to steal,
is aided by fielding or battery error
or by hit he shall not be credited with
a stolen base.
Manager Hanlon announced today
that he had made up his mind to re-
sumo the training business at the same
old stand Macon, Ga. The Brown
House will again be their stopping
place and the men will leave Baltimore
on March a. Twelve or thirteen days
will be spent at Macon.
