CYCLING.

Before leaving for the Pacific coast
Jimmy Michael said to a friend: Il
have quit the cycle path for good, and
remained in the business one season
longer than | intended because it was
said that feared to meet Tom Linton,
Ed. Taylore and the other foreigners
who came over. Dave Shafer, who saw
that he would lose a good thing if l
deserted him, also began to guy me
along the same lines. Although | had
bad luck in two or three races, hardly
think anyone will say there was a
man in the country that had better
right to the title of champion than /.
| have been as square in all my career
as anyone could be, and if my manager
and the association under whose aus
pieces | had agreed to ride did queer
things, I certainly had nothing to do
with them. Last season | lost $4,000
in cycling loss that can be attrib-
uted to the cost Of maintaining a pac-
ing team

W. B. Howell, the owner Of the
Wheeling team, received a letter yes
terday from Billy Niles, Wheelings
crack thirdbaseman, stating that he is
glad to play with the Wheeling team
this season, congratulating Mr.. Howell
on getting the franchise and stating
that he will forward his contract to
him in few days. He also stated that
Mr.. Howell has in the Springfield team
one of the finest lot of ball tossers in
the Interstate League He claims that
if the manager of the team had not had
trouble all last season the team would
have won the flag, but as it was they
came in second in the race. Mr.. Niles
stated that under the management Of
Pop Lyle Wheeling would land first
or second in the race at the end Of the
season. 1t can be stated that the
Springfield team was composed of the
best behaved men in the Interstate
League last season, which is saying
great deal for the new Wheeling team.
Niles, Legg, Graffius and Terrell have
been wintering at Springfield. They
all have started in training for the
coming season at we'll known gym
nasium at Springfield and will arrive
in Wheeling about the 18th of April.

FITZ TALKS.

Noblesville, Ind, February 23.-Bob
FitzsimmOns was in the city between
trains this morning on his way to In
dianapOlis to fill a theatrical engage
ment. In an interview he said:
Il do not care to fight again. Mrs
Fitzsimmons thinks that there are
more suitable occupations than that Of
a fighter, and l agree with her. If we
take care Of our money we have enough
to pay the butcher and the baker for a
long time to come, and that is all any
man should want.
But if any Of those buffers think
they can put me out with punch, all
they have to do is to get enough mon
ey behind them, and l will give them
a chance to pick up a fortune. But I
don't propose to fight for fun. For d
number Of years l chased C0rbett over
the country and begged him for a
chance to prove my title to the cham
pionship. l whipped every man of any
Importance in the country while he
had only to his credit honest John L.,
who was a wonder in his day, but a
wreck at the time Corbett whipped
him. 1t took me a long time to catch
UP with Corbett, but l finally got there,
and | don't propose to pay any atten-
ton to any of them until the money is
in sight. That is my position in the
matter"

SHARKEY IN A BAD WAY.

Detroit Mich, February 23.-Tom
Sharkeyr the pugilist, whose modest
card bears in the lower left-hand cor
ner the legend challenger of the
World" arrived over the Michigan
Central this afternoon and took the
first electric car for Mt. Clemens, where
he will remain two weeks boiling the
rheumatism out of his bones. The
Sailor showed the outward evidences or
his ailment when he got off the ear on
a pair Of stout canes. Three years ago,
before he became famous, Sharkey Wis
tied the baths at Mt. Clemens and re-
ceived much benefit.
The conquerOr of Mccoy and Corbett
gave as his reason for not making an
immediate match with FitZsimmOns
that he had fought two severe battles
with such men of reputed proves, and
felt that he needed, like other champi-
ons before him, rest. And so he
passed up temporarily the challenge to
take on the man who stood at the top
of the heavyweight championship lad
der.
1T isn't that l am particle afraid
of Fitzsimmons, said the sailor, mis-
great chest swelling with pride, but
business interests would not allow.
When Julian came on to New York
was matched to meet Corbett at Chi
cago, and had on an argument with
Mccormick, of Philadelphia. Then my
manager, Tom O'Rourke, made a match
with Charlie Mitchell, which is to be
pulled off in England in May, and so
really could not accommodate Fitz-
simmons. Afraid of the tall AntipO-
dean? Not a bit. 1 feel positive that
| can whip him. 1t may not be q short
fight, but | think l am strong and
hardy enough to wear him out in the
end. 1t is two years since FitZsim-
mons fought a championship battle.
have been in almost constant training,
and, aside from this bothersome at
tack of rheumatism, never was in bet
ter condition. If FitzSimmons had not
wanted an immediate meeting when ne
knew that l was tied up with other
gagements l would have snapped
him up in minute.
However, l am ready to go against
him in November next for $4,000 side
and side bet, and the money is now
up in New York. IL it should happen
that Jeffries wins from Firzsimmons |

Of the appointment Of Rev. John w.

open season in Cincinnati. Chicago in
Louisville and Cleveland in st. Louis.
Jake Gettman will be played regular
on the Washington outfield again next
season. Arthur Irwin thinks he can
make consistent batter Of him.
1t is hoped that the magnates will
do more work and less talking at the
coming league meeting. The last one
was the windiest on record.
AS there are no horse races or pool
rooms at Columbus, Ca, the beds PROB
ably will practice every morning and
every afternoon as they did in San
Antonio.
All the Boston players will be re-
CURED to report in Boston this year
before the team goes South. Hereto
fore they generally assembled at the
training place.
Chicken" Wolf, the old association
player, will cover first base for a
Louisville amateur team next season.
He still is a member Of the Louisville
Hfe department.
If President Young has prepared
two schedules, one Of which will be &C
cepted, what will become Of the sched-
ule Mr. Whitehead, the dumb schedule
maker, drew up?
Jesse Tannehill would not advocate
a deal by which he would become a
Red in exchange for Pink" Hawley.
Tannshill is opposed to the temperance
clause and is well satisfied in Pitts
burg.
Lew Whistler, manager of the SYRIA
cuse club OF the Eastern League, has
been engaged to coach the team of st.
Louis University. A most excellent
selection. No man is better calculated
to make a successful cOacher than Mr..
Whistler, and if the st. l.. U. boys lend
him an ear they will play rare base
ball.
Jack Stivetts, the crack all-around
player of the Boston Club is perfectly
willing to play with the st. Louis Club
next season, providing Manager Rob-
inson gives him the same salary which
he received from the Beaneaters.-Bos-
ton Post.
Phillippi, the young Minneapolis
pitcher, may not play ball with the
Colonies this year. He is kicking
about the price Louisville is Offering
him, which is $1,100, with a bonus of
$500. He will not get any more, how
ever. Last season Phillippi received
a salary of $500 per anuum from Min
neapolis. President Dreyfus says that
if Phillippi is not satisfied with his
contract from the Louisville manage
ment he can go.
"All this talk about big profits made
out of the game is merely idle chat
ter says a magnate. The truth is,
there is precious little money in the

makes II almost impossible TO break
