poses.

Peitz and has fixed his name to a Gin
cinnati contract.
The generous offer made by President
Freedman to divide 5000 among the
Giants if they win the pcnnant, it is
believed, will result in other clubs fol-
lowing the example and offering liberal
inducements to their players. The Bos-
ton club directors talked the matter over
and decided to make their players SUBJ
stantial offer for next season. The sum
will not be announced until the season
is half over, but it is safe to predict that
the Beaneaters will get as much as they
did out of the Temple Cup series.
Few things can be rcckoned upon III
certainties in regard to the st. Louis

staff OF umpires again and will not fail to
take advantage of the opportunity.

CYCLING.

Those bicycle manufacturers who have
not chainless model for the coming
season, but who are content to trust their
fortunes to the chain machine, do not
expect to experience Il lull in the chain
machine market as Il result of the inva-
sion Of the clainless. 1t is admitted that
the chainlcss will find sales, but not of
such proportions that they will njure
those of the chain models In fact, it
was said yesterday at one of the places
where high grade chain wheels are re-
tailed, that bigger sales are anticipated
for the coming seasons chain machines
than those Of previous years.
Numerous communications have been
received at this office asking whether
the writers, giving weight and height,
were qualified to ride such and such a
gear. The answer to questions of this
kind is that it depends ON the hardness
of the rider. A l5O-pound man riding
POO or more miles week is better able
to push Il Is gear than man of the
same weight who rides only thirty miles
in that time. A rider that uses the
proper ankle motion and has his saddle
so adjusted that his body rests over the
pedals can use a higher gear with the
same amount of eXertion than one who
does not ride properly or scientifically.
Generally speaking, rider with one
years experience should be able to ele-
vate his gear from four to six points the
following season.

A Rochester mechanic is at work upon

not long before we reached our destina-

A WOLF AT THE DOOR.

please tell us a story, grandma, dear,
Something that happened when you were
young.
Were you ever chased by big, black bear?
Did you ever look at VOLTS red tongue?
Were the wildcats bad in the long ago?
And were you afraid? Oh, we want to
know.
"Oh, dear! we forgot. you lived in town,
In an old brick house on quiet street,
Where wildcats never went roaming
round,
And the cabbage roses were fresh and
sweet.
But out in the woods where the trees are
high,
Did you never hear, grandma. a PAN
theirs cry?'
Then said grandma. nodding her wise old
head:
There once came a wolf to my very
My mother was ailing. my father was
And, oh, my dearies. but we were
Those were dreary days and nights Of woe
While the wolf stood watching and
wouldn't go.
."Then the Lord sent a laddie both brave
and strong,
He grappled the beast and he drove it
away;
1t was years ago, but 1t seems not long
Since the dear lad came to my help that
day.
Grandma looked at grandpa with shining
eyes
And they kissed each other to our surprise.
