The Bostons and Senator will play the
last game of the present series this after
noon at National Park. 1t was not ex-
pectei that the Washington Club would
win a majority of these games from the
Champions but the hope was entertained
that they would play game that would
at least be interesting to the spectators,
and that they would win at least one out
of the four. With the exception of Satur-
days game, the Senators failed TO do
themselves credit or play the ball they
are capable of.
Their failure TO hit the ball was a seri-
Gus handicap. None of the hard nitters
had their eye on the ball, and batte1 wildly
This weakness was felt in other depart
ments, and state of Generalization en-
sued. The friends of the team, however,
are confident the boys will get on to the
game shortly. They are a shifty, hustling
set of youngsters, and csn play the game
satisfactorily. If Irwin will keep them to-
gether until they get on their feet and get
TO going they will most certainly turn out
winners. The talent is there, unquestion-
ably, and when Mr.. Irwin gets them into
proper playing form, as ii is believed he
will, the team will not prove the disap-
pointment that is now expected.
The New York Club will follow the Pos
tons, opening their season here on Tues
day As they are in the Senators class
at present victory for the Senators is
almost assured. The absence of the Giants
two star pitchers is seriously felt, and
without them the club will be weak in
the box. The team has some hard hitters
and their infield is reasonably strong, and
the games this week with that aggrega-
tion promise TO be entertaining.

THE ROCHESTER RACING TEAM.
Inventor Claims That New Device
VIII ReVOIutiOnize CXcIinw

Rochester, N. Y. April 23.-An impetus
in the right direction is given to the cycle
game by the announcement of the for
nation of cycle racing team TO hail from
Rochester and to be under the manage
ment of the wellknown trainer ]. E. Con-
liff. The riders will use a machine being
brought out by a local syndicate, called
the Shepard.
Harry Elkes was in town few days ago
The great middle distancer gave the ma
chine a trial, using a 120 gear with the
greatest ease. Al Newhouse, who is to be
of the members of the team, seconds Elkes
in his opinion. The inventor of the new
device makes the rather broad claim that
his invention will completely revolution
ize the cycle construction of today. In this
new device the friction is all thrown on the
ball bearings. Cranks are incorporated
on an extra hanger and the power is ap-
piled to the edge of the sprocket II is
claimed that this gives a net gain of so
per cent in speed over other wheels. The
rider, it Is claimed, exerts a power equiv
alent to the use of a thirteen-inch crank.
This is based on the fact that the wheel
is equipped with a compound crank or lever
of the second order. AS high as a $50
gear may be used. The riders in this sec
ton have used 100 gear in climbing hills.
The team will be composed of n. C. A.
riders and will follow the New York State
and Grand circuits of that organization.

PRIZES TO BoWLERS.
Carroll Institute Entertained Win
ners md Losers.

The winners and losers in the District
Bowling League, which closed its season
a fortnight ago. were the guests Saturday
night of the board of governors of Carroll
Institute, and were royalty entertained by
them.
After eating and drinking and making
merry, the jolly bowlers settled themselves
for the real object of the gathering to-
gether, and that was the presentation of
the prizes and trophies to the winning
team, and individual players and the hap
py manner in which this pleasing feature
was accomplished, made the losers feel as
glad they had been witnesses OF the affair
as the fortunate winners undoubtedly Were.
To the Carroll Institute team was
awarded the league championship, with
80 games won and 10 lost, and President
E. J. Hannah, in his happy address of well
come, modestly referred to the very bril-
liant record the team had made for its
members, which not only landed the cham
pionship, but won four out of the six in
dividual prizes offered by patrons of the
game. Mr.. Harman was followed by Mr..
]. ]. Dolan in neat address, and dwelt
upon the good in athletics and the good
fellowship among bowlers, which was dem
onstrated in the congenial commingling OF
the winners and losers.
Then came the presentations to the win
ners. and in very happy manner Presi-
dent of the League II. C. c. Stiles per-
formed this duty. To the institute team
he presented the loving cup presented by
the league, which becomes the property
OF the team. Then he presented to it the
South Washington Business Mems Clubs
silver cup, which it will hold for one year.
To 7. A. Harlowe camera gold medal, pre-
sented by the prize committee for highest
individual average, 163 being his score.
To Armstrong went the Capt. II. s. Bur
bank ten-pin ball for highest number of
strikes, lis, and to the same bowler came
the Charles DietZ bird and cage for max
ing highest individual single game score
233-and TO NJ. ]. German the H. c. C.
Stiles ten-pin ball for second highest sin
gle game-231. To Mr.. Spiess, of the
Saengerbund, was presented the G. A. Stitt
medal for highest number of spares-227-
and TO DR.. G. Kicker was awarded the Jorss
''booby'' prize.
AS President Stiles was leaving the plat
form, he was called back by Secretary Cox,
who, in his usual pleasant manner. per-
| formed his duty and presented him, on be-
half of the league, with a handsome geld
watch and fob for unceasing interest in the
work of the league.
To the official scorer, Fred Schiaich, the
league presented, through Mr.. Cox, val
| liable pair of sleeve buttons, and to Mr..
Jorss. captain of the Saengerbund, the
team presented pair of cuff buttons. To
King Spotter Cliff was given an elabor-
ate medal for his good work on the alleys.
After further jollification over the event
and the success of the league, the assem-
blage dispersed.

FALL MEET AT SPRINGFIELD.
Zimmerman Proposes to Bring the
OId-Timers Together.

OId-Timers Together
Springfield, Mass, April 23.-Nothing de-
finite has been decided upon by the Spring
field Bicycle Club in regard to the great
annual tournament. There has been con-
siderable talk of a great meet in the fall
hut the directors of the club feel disposed
to wait until they discover what effect IL
and the present war of the cyclists against
league control is going TO have on the
snort and the attendance at the early
meets.
1t is highly probable, so one of the club
men stated today, that the annual meet
will be given this year. The l.. A. W. and
the n. C. A have each been represented
at conferences held here with the local
club members The Springfield Bicycle
Club will not give a meet under l.. A. W.
sanction providing that organization does
not quickly secure the return to the fold
of all the outlaw riders.
Arthur Zimmerman's proposal That the
old timers be brought together in special
invitation race on an American track our
ing the season of '99 meets with favor
among the members of the Springfield BIZ
cycle Club. Providing the annual tour
nament is given 1t is probable that the men
who fought things out here years ago and
who are now active followers of the path,
will be given the chance 10 get up against
each other.
Eddie Bald is practically the only man
among the sprinters OF today who raced
here in s3. and he would probably be bar
red. Those of the old guard who have
retired to business life and who would be
eligible according to George Hendee, the

MAHANoY cITY's NEW TRACK.
Three Big Meets Likely to he Given
This Season.

Mahanoy, Pa, April 23.-There is being
talked of for this city quarter-mile board
track to replace the four cornered death
trap of last season, on which sixteen of the
prominent circuit chasers fell and were
injured and on which Eddie Bald sacri-
feed his most excellent chances for the
championship by serious fall.
Mahanoy City is anxious to give at least
three big meets this season and the pro-
moters know that the very mention of a
meet unless a new track is constructed
will call forth disapproval from the promi-
nent men. The track that was talked OF
last season Will probably be built, the
same grounds as are at present used be-
ing available. The track will be modern
in every way, probably OF the whaleback
pattern. When the plans have been COM
pleted sanctions will be obtained and the
meets will be doomed.
