carp gave Sharkey the decision over
Fitz in San Francisco in December,
1895. it was a rank, cold-biooded steal.
Sharkey recognizes that fact as we'll
a. anybody, and he as champion will
be glad to wipe o the stain. Again,
Sharkey is always out for the cash. and
a battle between him and the Cornish
man would be a great drawing card.
So whichever wins, if Fitz aGheres to
his decision. another heayyweight en-
counter may be looked for some time
early mex year.

Golf is very extensively played\i in
America nowadays. 1t would seem As
though everybody were familiar with
hazards and mashies and cleeks and
drivers, and that those who are igno-
ram would be careful to guard their
lack OF information. or at least not
make a parade of it. But here is one OF
the largest daily papers in the country
which recently ran a cartoon in its
Sunday edition showing a dog standing
guard over q bag full Of golf clubs
lying in some grass, with the following
caption: Guarding the Golf 'Caddy'
Until the Yacht Races Are Over" The
difference between a golf bag and a golf
caddy is somewhat extensive. besides
which the average caddy can generally
guard himself.

This is the time of the year when it
is usual for the perennial ~cartoonists
to bring out one of their annual produc-
tions-that picturing the retirement OF
the base ball player from the scene OF
his triumphs in favor of the long haired
heroes of the gridiron. In former sea-
sons there has been a good deal of truth
in this portrait, for the base ball and
foot ball players received at least their
just need of alteration from all classes.
This fall, however, one part of the pic
ture will be out OF place, for, owing TO
quarrels among the magnates, base ball
has been under a good deal of a cloud.
The worst feature of the business is
that unfortunately the dissension does
not seem likely to end with the playing
season. 1t looks as though we were to
have a repetition of the quarrels that
the magnates engaged in last winter,
and that again may be followed when
next season opens by a wal between
two rival organizations for the control
Of the national game, which In the
present state of affairs can but end as
disastrously as the old Brotherhood
trouble. Why can't the magnates both
in the bicycle and base ball world learn
a little from past experience?

Cycle racing has been a success this
season from only one point of view,
and that is from the side of the spec
tator, for some splendid racing has
been witnessed this year. The inter
national meet and the national meet of
the l.. A. w. were both failures so far
as the financial side goes, though the
races were good and exciting. Nor has
the n. c. A. been more fortunate,
though on the whole that organization
has furnished by far the better sport.
Take the Manhattan beach track at
New York for example, where perhaps
the best racing of the seaso has been
held and some of the largest crowds
have been present. Yet in spite of the
good attractions the track by the sea-
has not been a money maker and the
management is said to be out of pocket.
The professionals have likewise sut-
fered owing to the split, because the
purses have neither been so many nor
so large as in former years. Harry
Elkes, the middle distance champion,
has probably made the most money,
but he has had heavy expenses in keep
ing up a pacing team, so cannot be
much ahead of the game. How poor a
year it has been for the pros all round
may be gathered from the fact that
Earl Kiser, one of the best Of them, is
said to have made only about $1,000
this season,

The above list will no doubt be
carefully scanned by the bowlers OF the
ten teams, and each team will likely
pick the place they intend holding in
the coming race, but some will perhaps
be sadly disappointed before the race is
finished, as the teams that look weak
on paper may surprise some OF the
strong teams.
The new set of bowling balls that
were bought by Secretary Fette while
at New York, arrived last Friday after
noon and are beauties, some being of
the latest pattern and entirely new to
Wheeling bowlers, and, as is custom
airy, they will no doubt be inspected by
a large number of bowlers this after
noon. The alleys also have their final
finishing touches, and are fine.

Cricketers are now in their glory.
Although the season has been a very
prosperous and encouraging n as a
whole, hope and disappointment have
been singularly blended in the hearts
of the willow wielders throughout the
season. This was because Of the I'M
certainty of a visiting cam from abroad
coming over this season. In the spring
strong hopes were entertained of the
Australians playing a series of games
here on their way home from England.
These hopes were later shattered, and
it was only recently that the tour Of
Prince Ranjitsinhji and his eleven was
preached. The prince is now here and
the cricketers are happy. "Ranji,' as
he is generally spoken of in England, is
easily the foremost cricketer in the
world to-day. Some years ago he was
sent over to Oxford university, like
many other high born Hiudoos, to per-
feet his education. There he learned
to play and like the great English
game. He soon became ar expert.
Last season he was not well and did
not cut much of a figure in the game,
but during the present summer he has
proved himself far and away the best
living batsman.

What a slick fellow Tom Linton is!
He came over here, joined the n. G. A.
ranks and raced twice against Harry
Elkes, defeating him nee He engag-
ed in a few other match races under
the n. c. A. rules and then, without
any apparent reason, offered to make
peace with the l.. A. w. by joining
them and leaving their rivals. Without
much thought and with a great flourish
of trumpets at having gained n of
the leading riders from the opposition,
the league officials reinstated him. He
rode at the league meet and then de-
clared his intention of going back to
England, where. he can now race on
all tracks as being in good standing
with the L. A. w, which gained moth
ing by his accession.
