Broadening Their Scope.

Cycle Age calls attention to the fact
that cycle clubs are broadening their
scope in the following:
Following close upon the heels of the
announcement that the Englewood
Wheelmen of Chicago have closed their
club house and disbanded comes the
news that the Woodlawn Wheelmen
have decided to make their club So
cial organization and have appointed a
committee to draft new set of BY
laws, the officers of the association
having come to the conclusion that II
the club is to retain its prosperity it
must broaden it's scope SO as to include
other athletic sports and social func-
tions. as well as bicycle racing and
club runs. This sensible recognition OF
the needs of the hour has begun to take
root throughout the country and the
cycling clubs are more and more de-
voting their attention to bowling, IN
door baseball, football. dances and
other fall and winter sports and
amusementS.

Fitzsimmons and Julian.

Ex-Champion Robert Fitzsimmons
and his old-time manager, Martin Jul
liam, have parted company. This result
ed after bitter quarrel in the pugilist's
room of the Sherman house last night
says the Chicago Chronicle, in which
fists We're freely swung and a revolver
displayed.
Fitzsimmons left for New York city
to-day, vowing he was done with Julian
for good. The disagreement comes after
series of Understandings
According to the stories of both men.
1t grew out of Fitzsimmons' inability to
obtain box at the Lyric theater dur
ing crowded period. Julian is inter-
ested in the Lyric. The pugilist. it is
said. made certain remarks of an I'M
complimentary nature concerning the
Lyric and Julian took him to task for
1T. After a little talk Julian slapped the
big fellow in the face, and the fighter
swung on the managers eye, skinning
it slightly and raising a slight lump.
Fitzsimmons declares that Julian drew
revolver and that he chased him out
of the room. Julian insists that it was
Bob who drew the gun

May Not Fight.

The prospects of fight being ar
..nged between Bob Fitzsimmons and
Tom Sharkey are not very promising
at the present time. owing to the fact
that Lanky Bob has said he will not
fight anyone but Jeffries. his conqueror.
After the recent battle between Jeffries
and Sharkey, Tom O'Itourke, manager
of Sharkey, feeling satisfied that JEFF
fries would not consent to meet the
sailor again in less than a year, at the
earliest. at once began to plan for a
fight between Sharkey and Fitzsim-
mons. O'Rourke got one of Lanky
Bob's closest friends to find out from
him if he would box Sharkey. Martin
Julian, manager of Fitzsimmons, in
formed this person that the latter would
not fight anyone but Jeffries. On the
strength of this information ORourke
has decided not to issue challenge to
match Sharkey against Fitzsimmons, as
he claims it would only be a waste of
precious time. A fight between Fitz-
simmons and Sharkey, either at the
Coney Island or at the Lenox Athletic
club would attract an immense crowd.

Hard at Work .

The rights and privileges committee
of the League of American Wheelmen
is again deep in work, preparing bills
for the state divisions to introduce
into the legislatures and giving legal
advice to the officials. The legal en-
actments secured by the league have
done more than anything else to make
the organization the creditor of all
wheelmen, and the work being done
at the present time indicates that there
will be more activity in that direction
this year than ever before. But the
league alone cannot accomplish every
thing for the benefit of wheelmen. 1t
must have the support of Individual
members Every wheelman is interest
ed in the laws that govern his faVorlte
pastime and for that reason should
also be interested in the League OF
American Wheelmen.

Yhv McGraw succeeded,


Players of the McGraw type are al
ways in demand. The excellent show
ing he has made as manager OF the
Orioles has proved that he is capable
of managing ball team. He is a natu-
raj leader. in addition to being a great
ball player. McGraw's stronghold is
pot in the field, although he plays his
position very well. 1t is at the bat
and on the bases that he shines. He is
bad man in pinch for the opposing
team. He is an artist with the stick,
who knows something besides lining
EN- out.
While the pitcher is trying to work
him. McGraw Is working the pitcher.
He can foul off balls with the best of
them, and when it comes to working
base on balls he has no equal. His
ability as a player, however, has not
been a revelation. He has been a great
player for several years, but it was
not until this year that he has shown
ability as a leader. Under his super
vision the Baltimore team has played
great ball. 1t occupied splendid posi-
ton in the race, which cannot be at
tributed to anything but the great work
on the part Of McGraw and his very
able assistant Captain Robinson.
The splendid showing he has made
with team that no one could have
picked for a position higher than ninth
kindled new enthusiasm in the hearts
of the fans of Baltimore. The average
Baltimorean wants to see McGraw's
team win, and with a few additions to
the Orioles McGraw could make it hot
for some of the pennant possibilities
of 1900
McGraw is an ambitious player, and
his success on the diamond must be
attributed to this good quality
Joe summers, member of the Gin
cinnati Reds when they won the cham
pionship of the American association in
1882, and who later played with Balti-
more, was member of that team when
McGraw joined it. Summers. who lives
in Covington, in speaking of McGraw,
said: Il never saw a young player as
ambitious as McGraw. When he Joined
us he was only a kid, but he had abil-
ity and was willing to listen to some
of the old heads who had been through
many campaign. McGraw watched
his own work very closely. He was
anxious to hold his own in the league.
and he.never overlooked an opportunity
to learn something during a game I
remember one day, shortly after Nc
Graw had Joined us, that he came to
me and said: Joe, I know that you
have been in the business a long while
and know more about the game than
|. / want you to tell me whether you
think I am playing the game as it
should be played. l don't know whether
| will be able to hold my own or not,
but if I don't it won't be because l
have not tried
'McGraw naturally was at once a
favorite with the other players, and
they went out of their way to show
him something whenever the oppor-
tunity presented itself. felt sure then
that McGraw would succeed. because
such ambition as his could not fail"

JERSEYS.
St. Francis Herd-What 1t Pays.

Dr. DOoly during the past six years has sold from his dairy twelve thou sand dollars worth ot milk and butter. At no time has there been over F COWS at tue pail. During this time he has sold over one thousand dollars worth of cattle, besides giving to friends thirty head of COWS and calves.
 If this herd was divided, so many families could have foundation stock Tn few years Il great change would be wrought. a farmer would give his wife or daughters two good cows he would make them independent: for there IS and always has been market at home for every pound of butter at 25c per pound. Give our NOmen.fOlks d chance to make something. and We would have less store bills to pay.
 Now is a good time to change off by investing in fine COWS. sheep and hogs. then make the living at home, and all the cotton you can.
 In Indiana X few days since herd of Jerseys-l00 head-brought s24 ,OOO or $40 per head. and bunch of 3-months-old Berkshire pigs brought SIS per head. This shows that We do not appreciate the value of fine stock AS do a more progressive people. Get in the swim.
