VI. e. Lawrence. OF Geneva. y. Y. a
professional trick bicycle rider. arrived in
the city yesterday, having ridden. from
Portland. Lawrence is the one who was
with Primrose and Vests Ministries. Mr..
Lawrence says that the energy of the
Queen City Good Roads Club in building
the Lake Washington and Lake Union
paths Is worthy OF remark.
Now that KID Mccoy has won from
Gus Rubin. Jim Jeffries from Tom Shar-
key, and Joe Goddard has put Peter Ma
her out OF consideration, i is logical for
Mccoy and Jeffries TO meet. Fitzsmmons
would then have 10 meet the winner or
give up claim 10 the championship. l
have not given Goddard any considera-

last long before either Jeffries or Mccoy.
Goddard is thinking OF going TO the klon-

try. Before he got out of Skagway or

Sharkey is figuring on returning to the
navy. In the East Dial Hawkins is now
credited with being one OF the greatest
lightweight pusilists living.
Interest In the professional baseball team
IS increasing, and one by one the old
fans" are coming out again. Among
those I have noticed are Z. T. Pope. who
played third base for Tacoma when the
first professional league was started; Jay
Allen, Capt. Edwards, Capt. Taylor. Pro-
prietor Stevens of the Seattle hotel. and
Billy Belond. The team is improving. and
in less than two weeks viii be putting UP
fast ball. Corbett, the new center fielder
did not arrive yesterday. lie should be
here today. Manager Dugdale says he is
a frst-cIass man. Rand, who is now IN
center, will be retained. as he is good
all-around man. When Anderson is IN
the box Rand will cover second. Gaum-

fielding magnifcenuy. but a tritie off in
