MEN OF THE ROD AND GUN
PlOver Has Gone and No Bird Can
Takes It's Place-Notes Of
the Anglers.

The Winchester Gun club will hold their
regular weekly shoot this afternoon at the
old Dupont Gun club grounds.
The fourth annual amateur shooting tour
nament will be held on the grounds across
the river September s, 6 and Z, under the
auspices Of the club. Much interest is being
taken In this, as all the amateurs are given
a chance and don't have to compete with
the cracks Of the Parmelee caliber. The
club will add $500 cash money besides con-
siderable merchandise, which will be given
by the different firms interested in this
class Of sport. The programs will be out
next Wednesday.
The upland plover have gone. To be sure
there may be some %straglers left, but so
tar as the main body of the birds is con-
cerned, they have departed and by this time
are whistling over and gorging themselves
on the broad plateaus of New Mexico.
While the birds were here this summer
more abundantly than for years, but few
big kills we're made. although several sports
men secured good bags. The recent rains
have kept them with us longer than usual,
and on the hot. torrid days they have hid
themselves within the confines Of our I'M
measurable corn fields, where the gunners
cannot find them.

THE owners OF the twelve clubs have
no reason to complain of the season, and
President Young did not exaggerate when
he said that this season will be one of the
most prosperous in a decade" says Frank
Bandle, who follows closely all the teams.
Every club in the league excepting one, will
play 90 a profit on the season, and this does
not bar the Cleevland team. While Joe
Quinn and his brother tourists were banished
from their home, the team will net the
owners more money on the Investment than
the Robinsons have made since 1895. And
this is the team that was put down as a
white elephant, as a burden on the league.
OF course, the Cleveland team this season
is twice as cheap as regards the salary list.
But they have played several big Sunday
engagements, and have drawn big crowd in
the many double-headers 1t isn't likely
that the Robinsons are anxious to get rid
Of their franchise under such flourishing
circumstances, and they will doubtless be
represented in the league by a team under
Joe Quinn's management again next season,
though it's a question whether the Quinn
exiles will return to the home from which
they were banished. But base ball is SO
uncertain that the patrons in Cleveland may
develop an appetite for base BALI between
now and next year. The Selee champions,
the Superbas and the Tebeau Perfectos will
pay an immense profit to the owners, and
even Louisville has done the handsome by It's
team this year. The stockholders of the
Louisville club never dreamed of the
patronage that has been extended the
Colonies, both on the road and at home.
while the success of Johnnie McGraw and
Wilbert Robinson, both artistically and
financially, has proved one of the pleasant
surprises of the season. Indeed, the sea-
son has reached, and, in several instances,
exceeded expectations. But the New York
club will prove a loser, though it is hard to
estimate the losses. l place them at s25, 900
on the year. Perhaps Mr.. Freedman, through
his friend Soden of Boston, who is one of
the largest stockholders in the New York
club. will adopt the fence-mending policy
and give New York a team OF winners for
next season. There Is material in the ranks
OF the Giants for a first division club, and
an investment OF no more than IS, 900,
coupled with a few judicious changes and
trades. will do the trick in New York"

After wasting many spring seasons trying
to get a line on promising players whom
they had purchased after the close OF the
previous season. the league magnates fnarly
have dropped to the fact that there is but
one time in which the strength OF a young
player can be ascertained TO a certainty,
and that is when the season is we'll under
way. and especially in the latter half Of the
year.

A notable case OF the bicycle being used
for the cure OF serious ailments Is that OF a
Brooklyn man. who is riding with two broken
kneecaps and improving steadily. His in
jury resulted from falling while out skating
and he adopted wheeling at the advice Of his
physician. At first he had to be lifted on to
the wheel, but he now is able to mount from
a step that is on the risht-hand end Of the
rear axle. He cannot lift his left leg sufi =
GENTLY to mount on the usual side, but his
wheel is fitted with the two steps. 80 that
as he improves he can try the left foot
mount whenever he feels strong enough. He
rides with a low gear and proceeds very
slowly, resting at frequent intervals.

The United States bicycle and automobile
exhibit at the Paris exposition, says Major
Bracket, secretary of the United States C m.
mission to the Paris exposition, will be To-
Gated in the building at the Bois de Vim
cennes. provided for the housing Of the rail-
way exhibits OF all countries. A space Of
$500 square feet has been secured for the
American bicycle building. 1t is in conjunc-
tion with a special bicycle track for showing
the bicycles in operation. A track two miles
in length, running around the Lake Dau-
mesnil, in the Bots de Vincennes, has also
been provided for showing automobiles and
motor vehicles OF all kinds in operation. A
space of 1890 square feet in the automobile
building has been secured for American ex-
hibitors. According to indications every
manufacturer of vehicles with the coming
method of locomotion will be represented.
The great interest shown in this subject in
foreign countries at the present time will
certainly make this one of the attractive
features of the Paris exposition.

participating But for the peculiar nature
OF the wheel there would be little to attract
the attention OF the casual observer to the
riders, for they pedal along with heads erect
and nostrils shutting In the exhilarating
country air after the manner OF all cyclists,
who are keen lovers OF the sport.

The rider with the low handlebar, who
bends over until he resembles an interroga-
ton mark, is not so frequently seen on the
roads as before. This improper style OF rid
ing is no longer a fad, and the cyclist who
equipped his machine with the rams horn
handlebar simply because he thought people
considered him a racer is beginning to rea-
lie the foolishness Of riding in a cramped
position. Eight out of every ten machines
seen on the road at present either have up
turned handlebars or a bar that is straight.
The grips are about on a level with the cad
die. This enables the rider to assume the
proper position, one that gives the lungs
and heart full play to do their work. With
the handlebars in this position the rider
bends slightly forward. The machine is also
more easily controlled.

Pedlar Palmer is apparently up against II
in his match with Terry McGovern, for the
Brooklyn boy is sure to have an advantage
in weight. while there is no doubt that he
is stronger than Palmer, whose only re-
source is his cleyerness. The style of fight
ing in England is much different from that
in vogue In this country. and as all Ameri-
cans claim they have been handicapped when
they fought on the other side, 1t is but
natural to believe that the same thing will
happen to the British subjects In American
rings, as it is a poor rule that does not work
both ways. Over there clean breaks, no
roughing and no hitting In the ciinches is
the style. When Palmer meets the rugged
McGovern his cleverness will not avail him
much, as the Brooklyn terror will go right
to Pedlar, and It win be passing strange IL
he does not have him on the ropes, beating
a merry tattoo on his ribs, before the battle
has progressed far. Because Thorne whipped
Purcell he is being boosted as clever and all
that, but with Mccoy at all fast he will
feint Thorne to death and have the dress
suit fighter tying himself up into knots in
an endeavor TO get out OF his own way. II
past performances count for aught Bernstein
should be able TO give Dave Wallace all he
can attend to, while those who have seen
Oscar Gardner In action are satisfied that
he will do things TO Ben Jordan, once he
gets into the same ring with the English

The bicycle foot is a new disease that has
been developed by women riders this sum
mer. Its surgical name is traumatic fiat
foot and it is caused by wearing the thin
soled, French-heeled boots which are fash
ionable for wheeling this season and also
from careless or incorrect dismounting.
AS a rule, women do not know how to
jump. They have not learned and seem to
be without the instinct which men possess
to land on their feet with a spring. bending
the knees and escaping the Jolt which fol-
lows IL the knees are kept rigid. AS a con-
sequence, most women get a headache from
jumping and the bicycling women who give
slight attention to the way they get off their
wheels get the bicycle foot. They alight on
the hard pavements with unnecessary ell
ergy. The force OF the blow strains the
tendons to such a degree that the proper
arch Of the foot is lost. 1t is not done at
once, but the foot is sometimes months in
getting out of shape. The ligaments are
gradually stretched until they cease to hold
up the arch. Thin-soled boots increase the
trouble. They afford too little support for
the curved instep and do not protect the
ball from the conclusion when the rider
jumps to the ground.
The new bicycle lantern law which was
passed by the Connecticut Legislature last
winter Is likely to become a burning issue
according to some of the Hartford court
rulings. The law provides a fine of s. and
costs for driving or directing any rubber
tired vehicle on a public street from one
hour after sunset until one hour before
sunrise. without a light, though the court
may remit the penalty whenever it may ap-
pear that the failure to provide a light as
required by the act is the result of an acct
dent. But Judge Perkins of Hartford has
made a ruling that when a lantern on a rub
ber-tired vehicle goes out and cannot be re-
lighted the driver or director must not ride,
but walk until he can provide a light as re-
quired by law. This ruling must stand I'M
less reversed by a higher court.
