BICYCLING. THE NATIONAL ELECTS OFFICERS
Bachelder RetireS as Chair man of Board of Con. trol--R. E. Kelsey Takes
 His PlaCe-NOteS

Y New York, Feb 24.-The annual meeting of the National Cycling asso- ciation was held at the Bartholdi hotel in this city yesterday and an impor- fant change in the onIcial makeup was effected whereby the headquarters Of the governing body. the board of con trol, will hereafter be in Boston, in- stead of in New York. as they have been hitherto since 1899. This will re- suit from the retirement of A. G.. Batchelder as chairman of the board of control and the election of Richard F. Kelsey to the office. MT Batchelder declined to serve again as chairman of the board of control, but accepted the presidency
 The board of control had always been the whole thing in the N. c. A, and the presidency has been a purely ornamental office. It is presumed, However, that while the former chair man, who has virtually controlled the fortunes of the N. c. Al. since its birch, has retired from the burden of the active work, the president will nere-. after take more active part in the councils of the organization.
 R. F. Kelsey, who takes up the reins of government, has been a member of the board of control ever since the N. c. A. was formed. and is thorough iy qualified by experience for the of-- Gce. @
 The new board of control in full is as follows: R. F. Kelsey, chairman, Boston, Mass; F. R. Wendelschaefer Providence, R. l.; N. E. Turgeon, Buff falo, N. r.; O. Ross Klosterman. Balti- more. Md; Harry Hartley, Jackson vile, Fla; J. N. Sharp, Salt Lake City, Utah; 0. W. Carpenter, San Francis co, Gal; Frank l.. Kramer, A. R. 0. U. Y The other officers elected were: A. e. Batchelder, president, New York City; first yice-president, 0. B. Bloem- ecke. Newark, N. J.; second vice-presi- dent, P. T. Powers, Jersey City, N. J.; secretary, R. A. Van Dyke, New York city.
 The national amateur championships for 1904 were awarded to St Louis, to be held at the worlds fair there during August. Tn connection with. them there will be several professional championships and motor, cycle cham pi0nships, the latter being conducted in conjunction with the Federation of American Motor Cyclists. 1t was an- nouneed at yesterdays meeting that the prominent bicycle manufacturers have decided again to engage profes- sional riders for the various circuits, the leader i'll the movement being Col onel Albert A. Pope. Particular atten- ton will be paid to the racing.

National League Annuls Some Contracts and Re. leases-How First Base Men Are Developed.

New York. Feb 24.-A call was is- sued yesterday by President Pulliam for the spring meeting of the Nation al league to take place at the Victoria hotel here on March l. The adoption of the schedule is the principal b,lsi- ness to be transacted. One of the three schedules drawn up will be adopted, although there has as yet been no arrangement for q meeting of the NationalAmerlcan league schedule committees, to agree on non conflicting schedules. Concerning this subject MT PulHam said yester- day: A ~a as%
 Il had hoped to issue this call af- ter the two committees had met and agreed on their schedules, but suffi- c1ent time has been allowed for that. No inclination has been shown to bring about a meeting. I have wait ed until two days past the time stipu- lated in the peace agreement for such meeting, and if it turns out that the patrons of baseball have to put up with conflicting schedules it will be because of the action of the American league"

MAKING FIRST BAsEMEN.

It was Pat Tebeau who first reach ed the conclusion that it was ahso- lutely necessary to have a giant on first base.
 Tebeau, small man and third baseman, showed that a lively sawed off who could jump high could get most of the high shots. while his ac- tivity in the pursuit of grounders would be q great thing for the 2entire fielding system Of the team. f@ @0.Ts37
 Comiskey had introduced deep play along the line toward second, and ey- erybody was, more or less clumsily, trying to pattern after Commy.
 After the shock which Tebeau gave had worn off, the clubs began to de- velop third basemen out of good bat ters and brainy hustlers who fell just shade shy of the requirements in other positions, and the result is shown in the list Of the first basemen Of to-day. 1 't

JENKINS FOR ENGLAND.

The boom in wrestling in England has attracted Tom Jenkins, and the American catch-as-catch-c can grappler will sail for the other side next month Jenkins will leave for London on March 9, ill company with George Weeden. his packer. Jenkins is going abroad to meet George Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion" A match was ar ranged the other day, and articles of agreement are now on the way to this country. Hackenschmidt and Jenkins are to come together at the Olympia, London, where the Russian defeated Ahmed Madrall a few weeks ago. Hackenschmfdt is a Graeco- Roman wrestler, but he knows considerable about catch-as-catch-can style. There has been q lot of talk during the last two years of match between Hacken- schmidt and Jenkins, but nothing came of it.
 While abroad Jenkins will do little business for Young Corbett. Jenkins has been empowered by Young Cor bett's manager to see if there is any chance of an enga cement between Cor bett and Jabez White, the English champion. or Corbett and Ben Jordan in England. Corbett is willing to go to London if the proper Inducements are made. White has re- peatedly said that he is ,desirous of facing the champion, and if he is in earnest Jenkins will do all he can to bring the struggle about.

When he came up, Fitzsimmons land ed lightly on the jaw and Dunning went down again. When he got up he went to his corner, and refused to con tinue. Cunning claimed the title of Heavyweight champion of Maine, and his giving up was bitter disappoint- ment to his friends.

BASKET BALL
GIRLS WHO PLAY LIKE
 } MEN WERE BARRED.

Because the girls of the Connecticut Agricultural college play basketball under the rules laid down for men, the match that was to have been played by them with the Springfield High /kchooI girEs' team has been cancelled. Both Principal Orr and the team i1l- structor, Christian Neubauer. were op- posed to the Springfield girls playing under mems rules. The college girls have been accustomed to playing tAe game as the stronger sex plays it and they thought 1t would be poor policy to change the system of play so late in the day and in consequence probably incur a defeat.
 There has been much discussion among the faculty of eastern co-educa- tional institutions about this very mat ter. In fact, several of these institu- tfons have forbidden the game because the young women have desired to play under mems rules. The rules. as played by the girls, provide for six or seven on team instead of i've. and are designed to do away with rough 4nd-tumble scrimmages and mix-ups bn the floor. The sixth and seventh 1players are extra centers. The floor is divided into three sections. The cen kters stand in the middle section, and in \ the sections near the baskets the guards and forwards take their posi- tions. No matter how fast the ball is passed or how exciting the game be- comes, the players must not cross the lines marking their respective portion of the rectangle. By this means rough work Is almost eliminated. The spirit, However, is taken out of the game, So opponents of the rule claim. 2
