THE WHEEL.

Many of the wheel clubs complain of
the falling off in membership, but this
does not apply to the Brooklyn Bicycle
club, one of the Oldest organizations of
bikers in the Metropolitan district.
This club now occupies a brOWnStOne
house on the corner of South Oxford and
Hancock streets in the city of churches.
For years it has Sufficed, but during the
past season the membership has increas-
ed so the house has become Inadequate.
1t has been decided to secure more COM
modious quarters, and a committee is
now seeking a larger establishment. 1t
IS bound to make the change before the
coming riding season opens.
Arthur Zimmeran, of Manasquan, N.
j., and worldwide fame, contemplates
seriously a return to the cycle racing
path. For so many years was the Jer-
sey "Skeeter" absolutely %invincible that
there are many who believe he still re-
tains enough of his old-time speed to
prove a hard proposition for the fast
corps of riders which has sprung up
since his retirement.
Jimmy has been listening to this line
of argument for some time and is now
beginning to entertain the same. opinion.
His love for the excitement of the sprint
is just as strong as of yore, and if the
one-time worlds champion finds that he
has any speed left after a month or so of
training this spring, Bald, Gardiner and
the rest had better look to their laurels.
The return to the track of "Zim' would
be welcome indeed, as there has never
been a rider whose popularity equalled
that which the lank Jerseyite enjoyed.
Not only in America, but in England,
France and Germany, Zimmerman was a
veritable idol, and in Paris they nave
perpetuated his name by calling one of
the biggest annual cycle events Of the
year after him. When he was in his
prime zimmerman differed from the
champions of the present day. He won
almost every scratch event in which he
competed, and when he did happen to
meet with defeat the rider accomplish
ing the task was more proud of his vic
tory than if hundreds of dollars were
won thereby.

President Ban Johnson, of the Western
League, has announced that the meet
ing of the league to settle the question of
the eighth city in the circuit will be held
in Chicago on January 16. AT this meet
ing the matter will be finally settled.
It is learned on excellent authority
that Toronto will not be taken in to re-
place Columbus, but that in all prob
ability Cleveland will be the chosen city.
High officials in the Western League
have been negotiating with the owners
of the Cleveland club for some time, and
it is understood that the arrangements
are complete for Cleveland to enter the
Western League as soon as the present
Cleveland team is transferred to St.
Louis.

FOR PARIS EXHIBITION.

Now that the Chicago Athletic Asso-
citation has announced it's intention Of
sending a team of athletes to the Paris
Exposition, whether aided finacially by
the government or not, a lively contro-
versy is likely to ensue as to whether the
New York or Chicago A.. A.. will be rep
resented by Alvin Kraenzlein, the phen-
omenal hurdler. K~raenzlein is still a
member of the Windy Town athletic
association, but it is understood that he
longs for the honor Of representing the
effete East. And there is nothing to stop
him except the c.. A. A. officials, who can
under the A. A. u. rules prevent the
great stick topper from wearing a "Mer-
curry Foot in competition for a period of
one year.

Jim Murphy and Billy Woods have got
their forfeit money up for a rope skipping
contest to come off in Butte in the near
future and the probabilities are that it
will take place within the next six weeks.
While it is somewhat out of the regular
line yet it is purely a sporting event. The
forfeit money already up is $50 from each
man and the balance of the purse, $3.50
zach must be deposited before February
/. This will make a purse of 81 1000 and as
both men mean business the event will be
one of considerable local Importance. De-
tails of the affairs will be arranged in a
few days. Both men have good records.

CHESS.

The challenge issued by Columbia,
Harvard, Yale and Princeton to the Uni
versities Of Oxford mi Cambridge, Eng
land, for a chess match to be played by
cable has been forwarded by the Paris.
The challenge suggests that there be six
players a side and limited to students Of
the universities named, and only native
born players be eligible.
The date for the contest suggested is
during the Easter vacations, when the
English universities play their inter-club
matches. The Americans prefer Emanuel
Lasker for referee and will request Sir
George Newnes to represent them during
the contest.

work of EstOppey himself.
The innovation will be a welcome one
10 the competitors, especially to the men
near scratch. They will be enabled to
tell where they are att all stages of the
game. Champions nave often been de-
feated in hill and dale contests by taking
things easy near the finish under the i'm
preston that there was still several miles
to travel. 1t is the intention of the p. A.
Z. officials to lay out a course as free
from barbed wire fences and Dogs as
possible. In fact, the only place where
difficult obstacles will be encountered
will be on the one-mile stretch over the
old ~acqueduct. This will be an ideal
spot for spectators. Thu route will be
heavily papered and the men checked at
every mile post. In addition to the mile
posts, Estoppey may establish some sort
OF a block system such as is used to
keep freight trains on the straight and
narrow path.
The other bouts on the mat are carded
for January 16 and II. The classes are
1l5 and 1876 pounds, and are open to anna
tours. In addition to this, a big cross
country handicap will be held under the
auspices of the East River organization
on March 26.
Gabriel Hollander, the crack distance
runner of the Knickerbocker A. c., has

compete next March in the military car

SKATING.

The one mile skating contest between
J. 7. Conway and Arthur Delone at the
local skating rink last Tuesday evening
was a very pretty exhibition and fairly
good time was made for a twelve lap rink.
The first half was made in 1:25 and the
finish in $50. Conway, the winner. has
been in correspondence with Frank
Brown, of Great Falls, who claims to
be the western champion. Brown said
tha he would put up the money for a
race and pull 1t off in Butte, but he has
not gone any further than the promise.
1t is possible that he thinks discretion
the better part of valor and is willing to
pose as a has been" Conway says that
his challenge is open to all corners.

for some time, will probably make a

accommodate Downey.
