CYCLING.

.Taylore, the French middle-distance
Champion, is still plugging away in the
South at his hard work III conditioning
himself for the season. His quad team
takes him five to eight miles every after
noon at two. minute clip or even less.
He is now in such good condition that
no matter how fast the pace he always
calls for more. In the mornings he
rides on the road fifty miles.
Teddy Edwards, the Centurion" had
a tough job completing his self-imposed
task OF riding a hundred miles each day
throughout the year during the: last two
days. He asserts that Tuesday was the
third worst day he has had this year,
and that his hundred on that day was a
much harder task than he anticipated
when he started. Teddy was not
able to start out on his trip yesterday
until IL o'clock. 1t was another hard
day for him, owing to the high winds.
It took him and Captain Walters forty
minutes to ride up from League Island.
w. F. seger and G. S. Wanbrough

eleven to twenty-six miles on the Denver

that TIM Callahan bested him insthelr

day last does him an injustice. faddy
claims that he as we'll as many others
think that he would have been entitled
to a decision over Callahan had there
been one, and that he has backing up 10
$500 for a 20 for twenty rounds at ll2
pounds, or for a private finish fight, and
that he will deposit the money shortly
to make either one Ct the two matches.
Jim Jeffries has, apparently, made out
very large program. Not only mas iie
made a match with Everett for the 18th
instant, but he has also accepted one
proposition to meet Peter Maher, al
Syracuse, on May 20, and another to box
Gus Rubin, at Cincinnati, on June io.
,Jeffries must have fine opinion OF him.
self Other people have the same.
The National Athletic Club, OF San
Francisco, is making strong effort to IN
duce Peter Maher to meet Tom Sharkey
in a twenty-round contest. Should 1t iail
in this effort, the club will endeasor to
match Jack DAILY and Kid Lavigne.
Charles McKeever and Matty Mat
thews are to meet at Cleveland on Tues,
day night next. The match is to be at

in Frisco. Billy's salary had 5000 sliced
off it in the contract sent him, and he
don't like it.
Lave Cross is doing fine work with the
st. Louis team, and critics of that city
say that he is the best short stop they
had since Fred Ely's time. In a game
with Minneapolis on April 3, he had
three runs, three hits, three put-outs and
seven assists.
The New York players returned Eome
from Lakewood yesterday. Joyce says
there are no sore arlns,to be put in condi-
tion this spring.
Walter Wilmot reported in New York
yesterday. lie has been at Hot Springs.
He and Tiernan were out at the polo
grounds practicing in the afternoon.
There is likelihood that by tonight
Captain Anson will have raised the
amount necessary to buy the Chicago
Base Ball Club. Captain Anson is un-
willing to give out any Of the details Of
his plans until they are brought to eli

or three irons in the fire. As yet Cap
tain Anson is not certain just what plan
will he adopted"
The Bostons were called lucky last
year because they won the champion
ship and many games by one run, but
there were several clubs that won more
games than the champions by one score.
Cincinnati, 2S; Pittsburg won %; Boston
won 10; Brooklyn won II; New York,
10; Baltimore, II; Cleveland, Is; st.
Louis, II; Philadelphia, II; Chicago, II;
Louisville l2 and Washington, 8.
The St. Louis pitching department will
probably be made up OF Taylor, Carsey,
Sudhoff, Hughey and Esper.
Clark Griffith, the Chicago pitcher,
has caught the war fever. He, with the
rest of the members of the team, while
at Charestown, S. c., inspected the
United States monitor Puritan. Griffith
saws he would 60 aboard the Puritan to-
morrow and wash dishes, if he would be
permitted to go to war on her.

The preliminary news of the racing
contingent for some weeks to come will
be furnished by the Fountain Ferry TIA X
at Louisville, and the Chester Park
track, Cincinnati. Both tracks have been
opened for the season and the ad vance
guard OF cracka1acks has arrived. Kiser
Jonhson, Gardiner and the foreign riders
are at the Chester Park tracE while
Eddie Bald, Tom Cooper, Kemble and a
few other American riders are AT the
Fountain Ferry track.
The penny in the slot" bicycle pump
which is about to be erected throughout
the country will doubtless be iovfully
received by the thousands of cyclists
who at some time or other have become
disgusted with the labor and trouble of
pumping pneumatic tires. It is calcu-
lated to fill lOng-felt want, and can be
used by men, women and children. A
jab OF little metal-shod affair on the
nipple of the tire, penny dropped in
the slot, the short, steady swing Of a
lever pulled with one hand, and the tire
is ready.
Major Taylor, the colored rider, laughs
when asked whether he would not rather
be white than black. "No. indeed"
says the darkey, with pleasant laugh.
MY color is my fortune. Were | white
| might not amount to row of shucks
in this business. When was working
for Birdie Munger he tried in various
WAYS to make me white, innumerable
times by soaring me nearly to death, and
on one occasion by the bleaching pro-
cess. On that occasion my hair wss
turned red almost by the action of the
cream and the skin was nearly burned
off of me.''
There were 800, 1000 cyclists in Chicago
last year. This year the number will
reach 100000. That there will be an in
crease of at least twenty-five per cent is a
safe prediction.-Exchange. And yet
there are only 1852 wheelmen in the en-
tire State of Illinois who are members of
the L. A. w.
The average bicycle rider dismounts
by the left pedal and is very much at a
loss when prevented by stress of circum-
stances from dismounting on the left
side-in fact, frequently falls off the
wheel rather than get off on the right,
which in this case is very much the
wrong side. 1t would seem to be the
better part OF wisdom to practice SO that
dismounting can be done Oh the right
and left sides of the machine at will.
A Boston girl who has been trying to
find out why her bicycle often runs into
objects she tries to avoid, thinks she has
solved the problem at last. She says:
Tt is hypnotic influence of concentrated
attention, rendering the movements in
coordinate, so that the rider becomes the
victim of perverted reaexes of purpose
less effort and the abiect subject Of an
optical delusion.
