ON BOARD STEAMER CITY OF
ST. LOUIS, March 6.-The Tigers
(meaning those who are not stretched
out in their hunks recovering from
the effects Of seasickness), discovered
another new means of overcoming the
monotony of another long day at sea.
Eddie Zimmerman was the discoverer.
Ed brought out a handball and the
boys took turns in bounding the in
hated sphere up and down the decks.
1t is a very invigorating exercise and
the players took to 1t because it was
the nearest approach they could make
TO actual practise on the ball field,
Harry Smith was extremely careful
about how the pitchers used their
aims while throwing the light rubber
ball. He made them switch several
times to their left wings, and some
of the boys showed they were quite
ambidextrous.
Plenty of Music.
Last night was an enjoyable eve
ming for the boys. "Chet' Nichols,
the official pianist of the squad, en-
tertained with plano selections, and
the boys sang to their hearts con-
tent. There are some good voices in
the bunch and it proved much bet

TOLEDO, O., March 6.-Several
bowlers who are participating in two
man and individual events today have
good starts toward big counts in the
all events classes
Their work in the five-man squads
last night indicate their consistency
in rolling. This is true of M. Dross-
man, of Detroit, who totaled 6l9 pins
in his three games. E. Heine, of the
Hudson stars, of Hoboken, rolled $50
pins in his three games in the five
man teams. Other members of the
team also rolled high scores.
The two-man events began this
morning at 500 o'clock with sixteen
squads of doubles from Van Vert, o.;
Detroit, Mich; st. Louis, Cleveland
and Chicago. Johnny Vorheis, for
mer champion bowler, member OF
the Bergmans, of New York, began
shooting in the squad of doubles
which will go on the alleys at 1l'4S

Although Joe Finneran has not as
yet begun active training with the
Phillies at Southern Pines, N. G., the
East Orange lad writes that his right
arm, which he injured some time ago,

full of the fighting spirit, it is figured
that the local boy will win his share
of the open and handicap races, even
though the field this year Will be the
strongest ever seen at the local track
In match races and opens he will

Jackie Clarke, All Grenda. Francisco
Verri and Thorwald Ellegaard. In
races in which there are only three
men in the semi finals and finals
Cavanagh will show at his best. In
three-man semi-final in Paris he
shut out the great Ellegaard, and he
also scored over Pouchois, Dupre and
other f1rst-raters in races in which
there was a limited field.

While there is more or less specu-
lation on the speed of the foreign
bicycle riders that will be imported
to give Frank Kramer battle at the
Velodrome this summer, there Is a
local product of the bike track that,
in the opinion of many of the pro-
fessionals, will give the worlds cham
pion as good a run as any of the
foreigners. That local product is
big Frank Cavanagh, of Vailsburg.
Last season Cavanagh was the best
match race rider who performed at
the Velodrome with the exception of
Kramer. His last match, which was
with the great Emile Friol, took
much of the lustre from his previous
races with Carlo Messori and Marcel
Dupuy, which he won in brilliant
fashion, but it is doubtful now II
Friol can lead the big Celt over the
tape by the smallest of margins. Cav
anagh is a wonderfully improved
rider, and FNol will never again make
the Yankee look foolish unless the
former is sadly out of condition.
Cavanagh has learned much since
he was last seen in competition here.
His trip to France did him world
of good and the six-day races on the
gasoline circuit" made him game
ster. In France he learned the tricks
of the cunning French riders in match
races and the six-day races proved to
him that he could take few tumbles
without fatal results. His timidity
| in races at the Velodrome last season
| Wac very annarent and instead OF
fighting when he got in a tight place
he would quit. This cost him many
races and gained the reputation OF
being a gutter. Finally the experts
passed him up as speed marvel will

GRADWELL TO BOX
X. o. SWEENY AT

Young Gradwell, of this city, who
has not performed in the ring since
he decisively defeated lone Round"
Hogan, some weeks ago, has been
matched to meet X. o. Sweeny, of
New York, for ten rounds at the
Hillside A. c. Tuesday night. Both
boys have today posted forfeits to

races in Europe, Cavanagh shut out
several ex-champions of the world in
heats and semi-inals. In a big
scratch race IN Paris he led Goullet
across the tape and Floyd MacFar-
land. Goullets manager, threw a fit.
MacFarland never thought much of
Cavanagh's ability previous to this,
but now he figures that the big fellow
is going to be one of the hardest men
his star will have to contend with
here this season.
Cavanagh Weighs 2lO Pounds.
At the present time cavanagh
weighs 30 pounds and his ponderous
legs are bigger than ever and show
considerably more development than
last season. While in Europe he found
that he Was not getting the full bene-
fit of his great strength through rid
ing a small gear. Much of his
strength was spent in fast pedaling
and he was not moving as fast as
riders of less ability. Following the
example of Ellegaard and Dupre he
jumped from SO to a 1OS gear which
lie pushed with less effort than he
did the smaller gear. CaYanagh
will rid the big gear in the races here
and he feels confident that he will not
rank worse than third in the list of
winning riders at the end of the sea-
son.
Daredevil Jimmy Hunter who
handled Paddy O'Sullivan Hehir in
three slx-day races which the Aus
tralian won, will manage CaVanagh,
and the famous motorist thinks that
he has a coming champion under his
wing. Cavanagh has signed con
tract to ride at the Velodrome this
season and his riding here will be
watchd with interest.
