Another game of quitting was perpetrated
by Australian Jimmy Ryan down in Ar
kansas last week. Ryan was matched to go
a short journey with Tommy Ryan, but
when the gong was to be struck he baked
because there was not enough money in
the house. Tommy offered to put up a 500
purse If the other Ryan would stay, but
the latter was apparently able to touch mis-
heart by sticking his finger down his throat
and the ARRAY was therefore called off.

CHESS.

Delay has been caused in the negotiations
for the cable chess match between Columbia,
Harvard, Yale and Princeton in this country,
and oxford and Cambridge in England, by
the recent letter from the British colleges
suggesting changes in the rules offered by
the Americans regarding eligibility of play
ers. The British desire that the limit Of five
years be made from the entrance of a man
into his university, while the Americans
allo seven years in the rules Of the inter-
collegiate tournaments between the four
great universities, thus taking in post
graduate students. DR.. l.. %Broughton, jr,,
who represents the American committee in
the negotiations, wrote to England last
week stating the cause of the delay. 1t is
probable that the American committee will
await an answer to Dr.. Brougton's letter by
cable before reaching a decision.

The contest for the trophy offered by Sir
George Newnes, president of the British
Chess club, is being contested for on ten
boards by the best players in America and
Great Britain. The first match, in 1896, was
won by the Americans, but the second and
third matches, played in 1897 and 1898. were
won by the Britishers. The contest begun
Friday was all the more important because
another victory for the Britishers would
have won for them the trophy. Many metro
politan experts were present in the assembly
room Of the Brooklyn Academy of Music,
where this end Of the match was played,
under the auspices of the Brooklyn Chess
club. At the latest account a victory for
the Americans seemed probable.
Shortly after the play was resumed yester-
day it was announced that the game at board
No. . had been won by Showalter over At
kins in thirty-nine moves. Weight and
Jacobs, table No. G, drew after forty-one
moves. The score then stood two games to
one in favor Of the Americans.

The secret Of hill climbing is the continual
application of power. II the rider jumps TO
his work OH a long hill, using great force for
a time he tires himself and does not get as
good results as when, catching the pedal at
the top of the stroke and using the ankle
motion, he follows it almost through the
complete revolution. By consistently OBJ
serving the practice of this method he
utilizes not only the powers Of the thigh
muscles, but the calf muscles as well. a
German doctor has been investigating and
has found that hill -climbing sends the pluse
from the normal (siXty-iye to eighty beats
per minute) up to $50 to $50 per minute. In
long-continued hill-Glimbing or long-distance
racing at high speed this must necessarily
do damage to the machinery in the region
of the heart. The fact that so many racing
men get stout easily proves, rather than
disproYes. this fact.

sion that the League is interested in other

The California Cycleway company is to
build a cycleway that will be a tlooTed
bicycle path ten feet wide and nine miles
long, extending from Pasadena to Los
Angeles, elevated above the ground from
three to fifty feet, according to grade, and
inclosed on the sides for safety with a wire
netting. The whole path will be practically
on a level. The steepest grade In the whole
length will be only 3 per cent, and that for
a distance of but 1000 feet. Elsewhere the
| grade averages IA per cent. TIL" floor will
be as smooth as a cement sidewalk "a short
ride on which costs him S. in the municipal
COURT, and the cycleway will be wide
enough to permit four bicyclists to ride
abreast. At night it will be brilliantly
lighted from end to end by incandescent
electric lamps, placed 200 feet apart over
the center OF the wheeling space.
In the spring it Is often found that there
are loose spokes in the wheels and that they
are out Of true, Examination of them
should therefore not be forgotten. To
tighten spokes and properly true up a wheel
is a neat job and enc that Il Is best to leave
to a repair man unless the rider is expert
enced or naturally apt at mechanical work.
With tires there Is little to do except initiate
them and see If they are all right. II de-
fectiye because Of having been left fiat have
them repaired or get new ones, 1t is a good
idea. however, to turn the wheel slowly and
investigate whether the tire is firm on the
rim, for if the cement has weakened the tire
may creep and cut the valve stem off the
first time the wheel gees out. Most riders
who do not keep their wheels in commission
from fall to spring find that the tires do
not hold air SO well when brought out Of
the garnet. In a majority Of cases this is be-
cause there is trouble at the valve stem.
Often the valve will be found leaky because
Of the plunger in it being elogged by dust.
A bristle is helpful in such cases, though
often the pump will force the dust away.
When it is tightly lodged a drop OF water
usually does the trick. oil never should be
used. In lubricating the bicycle after over
hauling it the pedals should not be for
gotten, although they usually are. The head
bearings also should be remembered, else

"squeaky squad, who are in evidence every

The position of the league regarding good
roads and side paths is clearly dehned III
the following extract from Cycle Paths a
practical handbook by Isaac B.. Potter, pub
lished by the league:
every cycle path is a protest against bad
roads, a sort of public notice that the pupilc
wagonways are unfit for public travel, a VIII
sharpener to every highway officer who has
seven holes in his head, and a splendld eH-
ample of the charming relations which the
wheel and the roadway may be maze 10
sustain to each other. 1t Is a declaration
NJ independence. which. for the time being,
lifts the bicycle out of the mud and puts
the wheelman on a iirmer ground of argu-
r,ont for good roads: takes from his critics
the charge that the cyclists warfare Is a
selfish one. and supplies to every traveller an
impressive exhibition OF the value of a good
wheelway. :,
And so. until the day of good roads shall
come, | believe that cycle paths should be
laid, and believe that the League Of Amerl-
can Wheelmen, in pursuit OF It's constltu-
tional objects, to promote the general IN
terests of cycling and TO facilitate touring
is bound to exert its splendid energies 10
quicken, to regulate and to systematic the
making, and to govern the proper use OF
these paths.
Il do not for a moment admit that TINS
work for cycle paths can be substituted Tor
the wheelman's agitation for better roads,
but rather do l regard it as a valued
auxiliary for the greater cause, which seems
to have taken new impetus in those sections
where cycle paths have been put down.
Good roads for all is the ultimate END OF
league work. 1t is the motto which years
ago was nailed upon the topmost rampant OF
the league citadel, and there hope 1t may
remain till the end of time
