Mo- Square Rncing rhese paxs.

1t is difficult to manifest any enthu.
siasm about racing these days, because
the sport seems to be as rotten as it
possibly could be. 1t is so putrid that
Its odor is actually offensive to the
clean nostrils of those who love square
sport above anything else. 1t is an in
tensely disagreeable matter to write
about, but nevertheless the truth must
be told. The public is most generous
In its support of the sport. 1t will very
soon learn, however, that there is a
very close resemblance between racing
of the present day and the game
known as thimble rigging. The mac
tivity of the stewards is remarkable.
The writer will not say these gentle
men are incompetent or that they will
fully pass cases of inconsistent run
ming or bad riding of jockeys. The sim
pie fact is that these cases exist and
that no comment is made or action
taken by the stewards. The public may
draw its own inference.-New York

New BasebeIl AssociatIon.

A strong moveIhent has been set on
foot for the formation of new base
ball league which, In a measure, will
be a competitor of the National league.
The friends of President Johnson as
sert that he is not back of the move
ment but it can be stated.on good au-
thority that he has been asked to head
the enterprise. The new league will be
formed on the lines Of the old Amer
lean association. 1t will.try to resur-
rect baseball interest in Cleveland by

Cycling Records.

The word comes from London, says
the New York Sun, that the cycle rae
ers of Great Britain will this year
make an effort to wrest from the United
States the many cycle records which
have been made here and held by our
riders for something like ten years.
This promises much Of interest for
both amateur and professional riders,
and will undoubtedly result in great
benefit to the sport The plans for this
attempt have not all been formulated,
but the announcement recalls the inter
esting fact that England made the first
records in both the sprints and long
distance races, and for several years
American riders raced against them in
vain. The record for mile was the
first of the English records to stand for
any length of time. The American rid
ers who got out to break 1t failed so
many times that the matter soon as
sumed international Importance, and
thousands of dollars were spent on
both sides Of the Atlantic-in England
to beat the old record, if possible, and
on this side to beat anything that the
Englishmen might do. In the third
year of this contest the manufacturers
of bicycles and the builders Of cycle
tracks took the matter in hand serious
ly. American wheels improved so
rapidly that In the course of one NOR,
year an American rider not only broke
the English record, but passed it so far
that until today England has never
succeeded in catching up. Every year
since then the English record has been
bettered little by an Englishman, but
American record, SO the honors are
still here.
