ZIMMERMAN'S TRIP. A. A. Zimmerman, who is considered the best bicycle racing man in this country, does not expect to return from his European tour until late in the summer or early in the fall, before which time he figure in the English championship races. He has already figured in one race, which he lost by nine yards. In last week's edition of Bearings there ap- peared a letter from Zimmerman as follows: We got away from New York on the Aurania Feb. 6, which was a fine day with no wind to bother us. Feb, 7, Sunday, attended divine service on shipboard.

It was to Rip- ley, twenty-one miles trom Herne Hill, retura- ing on Sunday. ‘The day before going on this trip I received my new wheel and I went out in the country about four miles to try it, On the way back I started down a slight hill and the pneumatic took a skate in the mud and I collided with an express wagon. I rolled over three distinct times in a choice area of charm- ing mucilaginous mud, something like they have in St. Louis, until my face, hands and suit were covered and I was what they cail here a “shocker,” or what in [linois would pass as a ‘holy sight.” Since my arrival I have been pleasantly re- membered by the following articies: One box Hippacea cure for wounds, two bottles of Olo for sprains, a box of Anti-stiff, patent chain and sprocket wheel, two pairs bicycle of cocoa, a bar of chocolate, two bicycle shirts and two eaj Ties and { amuse ourselves nights by walking through the streets whistling “Yankee Doo- die.” “Phe Giri I Left Behand Me,” and “Where Dad You Get That Hat.” Jim wears a piug hat most of the time and has negotiated for a new suit of ciothes of a Scotch cream color, with flesh-colored stripes and green dots, which will speak louder than the suit Marrett wears at Chicago. I was importuned to join the Salvation Army last evening, but told them I could not very well represent them and the London County Club too on the path this scason, and they would have to excuse me, much as I would be proud to be culled “Lieutenant Zimmerman.” “We have booked your party of 150 cyclists for three nights. begiunmg Sunday, July 17, and ending Wednesday morning, July 20, uu- less they wish to remain jonger.” That is the tenor of a letter from the Evbitt House, Wash- ington, D. C., to Chief Consul Gerouid at Chi- cago. “It means that Mr Gerould is confident of having at least 150 in the main western party to the league meet. It is the intention to traverse the thousand miles or more be- tween the London of the northwest and the national capital instyle. A contract has been closed with the Balumore and Obio railway which provides for a special train—two if the party numbers 300—which will leave Chicazo on Saturday afternoon.

It is probable that a uniform of white coat and cap will be adopted, and the Ebbitt House managers are now aceking a large storage room for the exclurive use of this party, which will have its own attendants iucharge. The main party will start back at about 10 p. m. on Weduesday, July 20.

It is intended to make this # feature of the meeting. Ansonia (Conn. ) cyclists are to be taxed upon their cycles and are requested to include them in their returns for taxation. The New Haven Palladium, speaking of this matter, reports Henry E. Marsh of the board of assessors to have said: “The machines are as liable to taxa tion as a horse or carriage, but if parties own- ang wheels do not see fit to report them for taxation the assessors bave not time enough at their disposal to go out and look up delin- quents. Furthermore, if aman owning a ma- chine did report it for taxation, it would be impossible for the assessors to place a value on the machine above what the owner atated that it was worth, owing to the varying price of bicycles,” Eight enterprising Buffalo wheelmen made the century run over poor roads last Sunday week.

If they are only left alone and not nevdlessly disturbed by reports of seurches after crocus pitchers and phenom- enal minor leaguo players or old lengue cast- offs, they should finish the first season well up. They are perhaps realizing now over in Bal- timore that thoy started in with a nine intrin- sicaily wouk. ‘This is what the News says abont it: “The weaknot came and defects of the club be- the season that it was th interested in its welfare that no Jime would be lost_ in remedying the evils. fadeed, when Mr. Von der Horst made the announcement that he considered his team strong enough to cope with the other clubs in the league and apphed, therefore, but for two players in the general pool, the public did not agree with him, ‘Thie wax Inst November and the sentiment of dissitisfaction has prevailed ever since, Whether the management or the public was right xubsequent eveuts have, to some extent, clearly showy,” There is liable to be serious trouble in the Baltimore club, Dissipation was not given out as one of the causes of the poor work of the team, but it seems this may have had some- thing to do with the poor work. At ail eveuta two players stand convicted of having liquor on the grounds in Saturday's game in Pitts- burg. he story reache Manager Waltz that Welch and other pliyers had a bottle of whisky under the graud stand. During the game the supply ran out, and the story was that Piteber Cobb, who was on the gate, was employed to bring in a fresh stock, Manager Waltz in- vestigated the charges with the resuit that Welch and Cobb were found guilty. They were flued. but whether the matter will end there or not was not learned, Indi-napolis is having as much trouble as Baltimore. One hoosier paper says: The In- dianapolis management should not hesitate an hour, but demand of the players’ committee at least eleven bull players Instead of those now on her pay roll. It is safe to predict that the club will not win a game on the trip, all of which is a buruing disgrace to the wonderful players’ committee wio made up the team. ‘The millennium plan, so exemplified in the Western League, is regarded ag a rotten, worthless fake, Chamberlain's home run that won the 7 to 2 game for the Cinciunatis from Washington was a little on the phony order. Ordinarily it would have been a rattling good single, but Donovan, in left, knew that a single hit meant arun, and he took a dying chance to get it. He jumped forward to get it upon the fly, but it Lit right im front of him and went on clear down to the hand ball court and four runs were scored, Itwould have been better to have stopped the ball and allowed cue run. rather than take such a desperate chance and let four runs in. However, anything can be forgiven a player who plays earuestiy and exerts him- self to the utmost. Donovan has been doing well ou the trip and bas becn batting hard and opportunely. ‘The Chicago Tribune says: “The home club has been an enigma thus far, That it stronger than it was last year there ing, as it has three pitcliers in superb con! tion to one last season, and is stronger behind the bat; yet it does not win games, Pfeffer is missed at second, but that has not been the cause of the club's downfall, Weak batting at critical times, and that, too, by men whose pust records would stamp them as reliable, has been the trouble, These men must strike their clip some time, and when they do the club will win its share of games. Its pitchers have had no troubie in holding the opposing clubs down, but no kind of work in the box can win gaines for a club that 1s making no runs itself.” ‘There's mourning 1m Cincinnati. The En- quirer waileth thus: Either Jack Dolan is a greatly improved pitcher or some one in the Cincinnati Reds was badly off iv his judgment of a bail player. Dolan was under coutract to the Reds in 1890, but Mana him, although ‘no one ou manager could see his rewson for doing a Doian only pitched four games for we le that season and three of them were victories, Dolan worked a slow ball nearly all the time, He sent speedy ones in under the Reds’ chin and out wide of the plate and put all the slow oues over the plate. ‘The Reds didn’t connect with the slow ones worth a cent. Irwin is enthusiastic over his team. He ix positive the Washingtous will make a good showing in the race. In his opinion the team has not struck its gait and will not until the men work together for some time. “If we win half our games on thix trip I will be satisfied,” said he the other might, You don’t really expect such a record, do suggested some one, doubtful, “[ don't know why I shoulda't,” said Irwin, indignantly, “We have a team that can hold its own anywhere, We have six pitchers, and all of them are so good I doit Know w to re- lease.
