The transformation of the Western league
into the American league-brought about
merely by the change in name-has had a
sort Of a depressing effect upon Pap Anson
and the rest of the old timers, who were
working short time ago for the organiza-
ton of a new national league. The Western
league oflicials-or rather the American
league oficials-have stolen march on
Anson and at the same time stolen his
thunder by attributing to themselves a high
sounding name, which puts it on par, so
far as a name goes, with the National
league. President Johnson and others who
insisted on the name being changed stated
that it was for the reason OF removing the
impression that it was a sectional organi-
zation. There is a proposition on foot to
establish an American team in Chicago and
If this is done it will completely bury the
scheme Of new national team, which
banked a great deal upon the assistance Of
Chicago. President Hart of the National
league team in Chicago, John 7. Brush and
whole lot OF other National leaguers have
assumed an entirely different attitude to
the minor league since the talk of the es-
tablshment of a new national organization
began. Hart is said to have even tacitly
consented to the location of another team in
Chicago and Brush has practically agreed
to treat the minor teams with more cour-
tesy and Difference in the future. In accord
ance with this latter agreement a request
has already been forwarded by President
Johnson, asking that American league
owners be allowed to keep players two years
before they can be drafted and that the
drafting price be increased from $500 to
$1,000 These are the concessions that were
demanded two years ago, a curt refusal be-
ing made by the National league lawmakers
They have good excuse now, as they can
say they made the concessions because the
American league is much more powerful
than the Western, very true, but very con-

feature. the catalogue says:
Accidents caused by the breaking of the
head tube are due to the common practice
of cutting threads on the stem FOR the ad-
justing device below the point which re-
coives the greatest strain from the handle
bar. Our adjusting device is above the
point where the greatest strain occurs.
Another point made that is interesting is
in these words:
taius much of the weight OF the frame and
rider, is depressed into the crown, by which
the crown is made to sustain much OF the
strain that would otherwise como on the
tube.
All in all, the first catalogue shows that
the changes are, as they were last year,
more in reference to fine detail than to
radical design.
A Chicago maker now here has the fol-
lowing to say concerning big sprockets for
next year
From the way l size things up, big
sprockets have received their death blow.
| The orders have show this, for the demand
is almost wholly for small ones The orders
| are for twenty-five tooth sprockets for wo-
mems wheels and twenty-four and twenty
| six for men. This think will be the pre-
vailing sizes and will become standard.
, There is really no reason for the fad OF
! large sprockets. Not to consider the un-
calmly appearance they give a wheel, the
idea is unmechanical from start to finish"

that the local sportsmen are burning enough

There is no cessation of the rumors re-
garding the formation OF baseball league
in the middle west, but conservative opn-
ion seems to be that that's all there will be
to it-just talk. The proposition to organize
a league is confronted with past failures
and many base ball enthusiasts who would
like to see such a league, nevertheless, ask
what's the use to organize with the pros
poets of failure to finish the season by
more than one or two teams? 1t hurts
the game and keeps some good ball players
out Of an engagement with some other team
that will finish the season. On the other
hand, conditions were never before more
favorable for such league. The middle
west is enjoying a season of unparalleled
prosperity and this eXerts an influence upon
sports just as much as upon anything else.
A base ball enthusiast will go to see a
game and pay for his admission "a whole
lot sooner" when he has pocket full of
| money, rather than when, in panicky dem
ocratic times, he is squeezing every dollar
to make it go as far as it will for actual
necessities, with all of the luXuries cut out.
| Buck Keith believes that such league can
be made success so far as Omaha is con-
| corned, and he intends to work up senti-
| ment and a subscription, on the side, which
| will put Omaha on it's feet in good shape
provided Kansas City, Lincoln, st. Joseph
! Denver, Minneapolis, St. Paul and other mid
| die western cities will organize a midland
| league. 1t is true that Omaha made q
! ''huke'' on its base ball experiment last year
! but the off setting attraction furnished BY
| the Transmississippi exposition was respon.
| sible. Next year it will be different. There
will be no counter attractions and base bal
will be great card healthy interest ha!
| been aroused during the past year by rea
| son of the number of amateur games playet
| between really meritorious local teams, rep
| resenting the packing houses, the breweries
and other institutions. One thing can be de
pended upon in this talk about a midwest
| ern league and that is that Omaha Will no
| fall behind the procession, providing th
| other cities will come to the scratch pre-
| pared for such an organization. Denver
too, can almost absolutely be depended upon
| Tom Lotus, manager Of the Grand Rapids
team, recently gave his opinion that the onl!

BIG FIGHT Is POSTPONED
Jeffrics Carries Arm In Sling ana
Fight with Sharkcy Goes
Over Week.

Devotees of pugilism must hold their
pent-up enthusiasm in abeyance for an
added week owing to the postponement OF
the Jetlries-S -Sharkey mill until Friday, No
vember 3. That handy tool which is the
implement of Jeffries trade-hs lusty left
is being carried around in sling nowadays
and thaC is the reason for the delay in pull
ing off the fight. Under orders from his
physicians Jeffries is not now using his left
arm and the temporary disadvantage in his
training necessitated the postponement OF
the fight, which was magnanimously agreed
to by sharkey and his manager. The ten
dons of the arm are badly strained and have
been slow in mending. Jehries Is filling
the other training stunts on his program
and covers ten or twelve miles a day over
the sand dunes of Asbury Park. His
physique is given to the rapid accumulation
of flesh and he must continue to fight off
the superfuous and wobbly tissue in spite
of the handicap imposed by his crippled
arm.
While Sharkey and his manager, ORourke,
agreed to postponement of the fight ii is
said that the tale OF Jeffres' injury was re-
ceiyed by them with a suspicious droop OF
the eyelids. O'Rourke has claimed from the
start that Jeffries requires at least two
bout with adipose tissue-in order to reduce
to his normal ring condition. This being
the case sharkey and o'Rourke had a big
opening for a large wrangle but their con-
sent TO a weeks delay is generally COM
mended as a generous act, for even a weeks
lay-of in the midst OF Jeffries training will
result in contributing numerous pounds to
the herculean frame of the bolermaker. His
boxing and wrestling bouts with Ernest
Roeber were, OF course, abandoned, and this
number on his training card will deprive
him of the most important and necessary
feature OF his work. ROBBERS work Is Of
more practical assistance to Jeffres than
the theoretical advice of Tommy Ryan His
wrestling and boxing bouts with the brawny
German hardened the abdominal muscles
and increased his stock OF wind This re-
port OF Jeffrles' manned arm was swallowed
with an heroic dose Of salt by the Sharkey
spectators who fancy they can scent some
| thing odoriferous in the state OF Denmark.

The mechanical dreamers are still brows-
ing in the bicycle pasture. Some Of the
latest returns from the patent office show
choice lot OF what the conservative manu-
facturers consider as nightmares The talent
seems to be directed largely toward chain
less driving gear.
One freak comes from a man near the
patent office at Washington, He does not
care IL the diamond frame has been accepted
as the one giving the most lit and strength
for its weight, but offers a perfectly per-
pendicular seat pest tube with a top rail
and lower tube running horizontally to the
head post and triple rear stay connection
OF awkward appearance, all for the sake OF
being able to have a down reaching tube
through which a changeable gear mechanism
can be connected with the crank hanger,
The driving gear is something wonderful.
There are TWO suts OF chains and sprockets,
one on each side but the chains do not
connect the front and rear sprockets d.
Tectly. 4 short chain on each side Is used
which runs over a toothless idler in line
with the driving sprockets, The inventor
evidently felt mean about letting this reyo-
lutionaTy bicycle be patented with only the
original features described, so he added a
spring seatpOst and thereby got more bene-
it out OF the single patent without paying
extra.

An automatic pedal bell is one of the latest
devices in this line, The bell is fastened
underneath the right pedal. BY, turning the
toe slightly inward it throws a striker, by
means OF trigger which rises above the
top OF the pedal into engagement with star
wheel, causing a continuous gonglike ring
ing of the bell. The bell Is completely hid
den from view, and is considered good
device when riding on a crowded thorough
fare where both hands are needed on the
