CYCLE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Taylor Crawling Up and May Beat

Taylor Crawling Up and May Beat
Out Kramer.
Major Taylors good work at Boston,
where he captured three of the double
point races, makes him dangerous COM
petitor for this seasons championship. At
present he is only eight points behind kra-
mer, who has been the leader ever since
the grand circuit started, and there Is yet
a chance for the colored boy. Only two
more championship races are to be con-
tested on the circuit, which will wind up at
New Haven Tuesday night. In that city
the race will be half-mile journey, while
at Hartford, for the night before, the five
mile national championship is on the pro-
gram. In both races double points are
scored, and If Taylor should win the two
Kramer will have to score second In each
in order to make the table a tie. Should
Kramer fail to score in the first race and
Taylor win 1t, they would be on even terms
and the winner of the championship would
of necessity have to beat the other in the
race at New Haven. The table of points,

Wherever there is a meeting Of ecclesias-
tics there is sure to be told some story OF
the late Bishop Williams of Connecticut,
who was one Of the brightest men of his
day. At recent conclave at the General
Theological Seminary they told this tale OF
the good bishops wit:
One summer day the bishop went out
fishing with friend. and, as the day was
warm, they swung bottle of rare old Bur
gundy over the side of rowboat When
luncheon time came. the bishop essayed
to pull the wine aboard, already tasting In
anticipation the cool. delicious beverage.
Through some mishap the string slipped
from his fingers and the bottle sank to the
bottom OF the river. Bishop Williams sat
sparkling:

ably do the pitching.
Cyrus Young may be veteran" twirler,
but he has a big majority Of the young
sters beaten block.
Bill Coughlin's hair-raising catch brought
the spectators to their feet, and the cheer
ing and applause was long continued.
Jimmy Collins is the same finished player
as of old. He captured a couple of drives
yesterday through quick work which were
decidedly CollinSesque.
The crowd yesterday was good one,
both bleachers being nearly filled, while
the grand stand was comfortably filled,
demonstrating that the lovers of the ma
tional game are with Manning and will
turn out whenever the Senators play good
ball.
Mercer worked hard for his game, but
there was nothing In his delivery yester-
day to puzzle the Bostonese. He fielded his
position well, breaking into a double play,
and went over to first several times In
clever style.
Sammy DUNCAN made a sensational catch
in right and Farrell, in covering lots OF
ground, captured several apparent safe
drives, but Jack made two "wobbles'' on
drives which a more experienced player
would have captured.
With Young out of the way the Senators
should be able to make it interesting for
the Beaneaters in the remaining two games
Mercer would have had to pitch wonderful
ball yesterday to offset the light batting
back Of him.
Manager Manning had almost made up
his mind to move the left field fence back
fifty feet next season, but Delehanty and
Wolverton have persuaded him to let 1t re-
main as 1t Is, as they both think they
can get back some of the games lost this
year by timely home run drives in that di-
rection.
