PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.

The Giants made another clean sweep Of the
games played last week, and with seventeen
stra ight victories their credit within easy
striking distance OF the record Of twenty con-
secutiye winning games, made by the old Provi-
dence Grays years ago. This may not be
reached, however. as the Chicago Colts who won
the pennant last year. have been moving down
their opponents in the same way, and will take
issue with the Giants Tomorrow. Three games
will be played, and this series may throw some
light which is the stronger team. The fol-
lowers of the New York players are confident,
and they have every reason 10 be- The Giants

well deserving of loyal support. Chicago is a

MOTOR CYCLING.

That there will be endurance contest in
conjunction with the annual motor cycle meet
this year seems assured. So many changes have
been made in motor cycle construction, and so
many new aspirants are in the field, that
test is strongly indicated at this writing. Under
the rules the course must not be less than 250
miles and whether Baltimore Providence is
chosen as the objective point, the run, taking
New York as the starting point, would be
through an interesting country. wide detour
would be required TO cover enough distance If
the goes to Providence. The first annual
endurance contest was from New York to Cam
bridge, Md, and the route brought in a num-

and many motor cyclists gave up in disgust
The question Of a cycle show is being thrashed
out by the Cycle Manufacturers Association
and the Cycle Parts and Accessories Associa-
ton, and announcement will be made in a
few days settling the matter one way or an
other. a meeting Of committees from the two
associations was held here last week for the
purpose Of considering the question. 1t is the
idea of those who favor the show plan to have Il
held in New York during November.

a forecast Of the meet, giving Harvard 80 points

markable performance of the college year. The
little Yale vaulter should have trouble in
scoring five points for his college in the inter
collegiates. Another fine performance was the
high jump Of feet IL inches made by Cap
tain Marshall of Yale. This meet showed that
both Yale and Harvard will score more points
in the championships than has heretofore been
expected. Some of the following men look like
