CYCLE RACING.
INCREASED INTEREST IN THE SPORT AND
RECREATION PROMISED.

Those who have followed cycling closely IN the
last few years-and those who have are the pettei
and healthier for it-are of the opinion that there
is 70 he revival of interest in the wheel in TINS
district this year. While wheeling enthusiasm
cooled somewhat hereabouts last season II mas
continued as popular as in most other sections
OF the country. The wheel tonic has done lts
work so well that many who lost interest last year
will find that they need the outdoor exercise con-
sequent upon wheeling, and they may come pack
TO the bicycle that. if for other reason In
teres in racing also promises be keener than 1t
has been since the League of American Wheelmeh
made the issue against the racing men.
The league has suffered through this action II Is
said but better management in the future may
cause the old members to flock back to its ranks
That the league has done a wonderful good for the
wheel is admitted. and that it can do much more is
equally apparent. The debut in foreign lands of
Major Taylor the colored sprinting champion.
indicates that the eX-South Brooklyn Wheelmens
wheeboy will come closer to repeating thinner
mans success abroad than any other American
rider has done. Taylor has already beaten
-Arend, the German champion, and if he can defeat

READY FOR BASEBALL.

SEASON STARTS THURSDAY-CAPTAIN KEEL
LEY CONFIDENT ABOUT CHAMPIONS.
While the baseball world has been upset for some
time on account Of the differences between the two
major leagues. the National and the American,
there those who predict a successful season for
most of the clubs. There will be at least ele-
ment of change and chance in the teams this year
which promises TO add interest and zest. Many
of the veteran players belonging to the National
League have jumped over to the rival association
and their places viii have to be filled by new men.
Some of the veterans will not be missed. The
changes in the teams will keep of the critics
guessing for several weeks.
New-York's chances for getting anywhere near
the pennant cannot be considered bright even by
the most enthusiastic follower Of the Harlem aggre-
cation. The team on paper looks even weaker than
