A limited number A WEEK OF WHEELING From New York to Washington on a Bicycle. PLEASANT WAY 10 PASS A VACATION Some Hints to Those Who Would Go on the Road. LOCAL OLUB GOSSIP Mrs. J. C. V. Smith ts probably the only woman who has wheeled from New York to | Washington. She arrived with her husband Sam" |On Wednesday afternoon, after exactly a | Week spent on the road. Mrs. Smith for- ered; | merly lived here and it is believed was the first woman to ride a bicycle in this city. They live in New York now, but are visiting their former home. Mr. Smith says that they took the trip leisurely, making stops frequently when he had to attend to busi- ness affairs. They left New York Wednes- | day, May 9, and spent the first night at Newark, having taken a run over to Orange meanwhile. The next night was spent at Nie | Trenton, after a run of seventy-one miles; the third at Chester, Pa, the fourth at Elkton, Md., the fifth at Perryville, Md., the sixth at Magnolia and Tuesday evening at | Highland, arriving here the next day. The roads were found to_be excellent in | New Jersey, pretty fair if Delaware and ‘bad im Maryland. They enjoyed good weath- ‘i | to the riders of the be | Caual to the emergency ‘tarrhal and Throat Affections treat- ed, $15.00 2 » TOT 12th st. n.w., L. 8. NICH- | OLSON, M. my12-lm* er during the trip, being detained only an hour or so by rain on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Smith wore what is called the “ration- al costume” for lady cyclists. It is really the old-fashioned bloomers, with leggins, but 80 gracefully cut that at a short distance the costume looks like a dress. She found this costume much more adapted for road riding than the ordinary walking dress. Mrs. Smith rode an extremely light ma- chine for road riding, it weighing only nine- teen pounds, while that of her husband weighed but nineteen and a half. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are members of the Harlem Wheelmen, the Excelsior Cycling Club and the New York Tourist Wheelmen, while Mrs. Smith is treasurer of the Women's International Cyclists, all of New York city. Wheeling Trips tor a Vacation. At this season, when strawberries are ripening in this section of the country, per- sons who enjoy healthful and pleasure trips on the wheel are busy arranging pleasant trips through the country—some in the near future and others later in the season. Mem- bers of the Capital Bi Club are, perhaps, more accustomed to these delightful coun- try trips than are the riders in any other of the local clubs. While the entire mem- bership never turns out on one of these trips, there are enough of the trips during the season to accommodate every one, both as to the length of the trip and the season, A wheelman who has enjoyed more than @ dozen of these delightful trips told a Star reporter the other day that he knew of no more pleasant way of spending vacation than on one of these wheel trips. With @ comfortable wheel, ane not so light that there is constant dread of breaking down, and a few dollars, he said, no one who en- joys a wheel could fail to enjoy such a trip and be greatly benefited. in the first place, there is no great ex- pense of providing new and fashionable clothing, such as is needed when one makes @ trip to the seashore or some famou: mountain resort, although the wheelman privileged to go to either or both of thet He is perfectly at home in his out- ing shirt, knickerbockers and short coat, with a regular wheel cap, and everywhere he goes he is received as a wheelman, and is really expected to appear in his wheel costume. The people along the line of ti famous Shenando: numerous resorts that county are us lent steed, and have a hgarty welcome for them at all times. On the bundle carrier the wheelman may carry his change of clothing and what lit- tle else he needs, and not only is he given @ cordial reception at the different places, but if he happens to be a member of the i, A. W. he receives the same accommoda- tions as others, and at many of the most Prominent summer resorts he gets a rate much cheaper than the citizen who pays expensive car fare, tips waiters and pays for the hauling of his trunk. Then, too, he has no large trunk to pack and unpack, and another in his limited time cannot possibly cover the ground that can be cov- ered by a wheelman. But the wheelman advises those who haye never taken country trips of any length to be careful and keep on the county or main roads on extended tours, unless re- ceiving directions from a reliable source, for most of the short-cut rout longest way after all. And Shenandoah valley riders ha perience in this line, ‘Two wheelmen last year, who were mak- ing a tour of the valley, concluded to leave the limestone pike and take a short cut to Luray. The distance by ort route regularly traveled road, and so they thought th would save time. And so they started over the seldom-traveled highway in the direction of the place where the beautiful caves are to be seen and where one of Virginia's finest country resorts is located, The road for three or four miles wag Fassable, to say the most, but the wheel- men soon found what appeared to them to be worse than the “rocky road to Dublin.” They found it necessary to put their wheels on their backs and climb rocks over which no pair of horses could ever draw a lig! bay e After a while night came on, and the wheelmen came to a stream. It was not dark enough to require a light, and so the weary wanderers were able to find a place where they could wade. But the nearer they got to the opposite side of the stream the deeper the water got. “and,” said one of them, the stream had been another foot wide there would have been two wheelmen and their wheels at the bottom of It.” The other shore was reached in safety, however, and at another stream they were fortunate enough to get a boat, in which to cross, A short ride on their silent steeds brought them to the foot of a mountain, and exactly how to get over this mass of stone and earth was a puzzle. It was then nearly 10 o'clock, and one of the riders had a lamp. A search of their pockets developed the fact that there was just one match in the party. It was absolutely necessary for them to have a light, and after a discussion of the matter one of them ved himself was able to light the lantern wick before the match burned out. Then it was a case of push the wheels up the mountain, and it is un- necessary to state that the pedals of the whe: rendered no assistance. Dven when the top of the mountain was reached they were not much better off than they were when they started to make the ascent, for the road on the other side was just steep, and it was a case of pull back instead of push forward, but the pair once more reached a road that was ridable, and th wheelmen mounted their iron horses on more and rode into town, reaching there about midnight. Last Sunday the wheel clubs made runs in different directions. The weather was a little warm for the month of May, but the clothes of the wheelmen were worn to suit the weather, and so there was no cause for complai On the Conduit road there were scores of wheelmen all day, some going to Cabin John bridge and others going es far as Great Falls, while others took the roads ‘east and north. Capitol Bi Club Run. Members of the Capital Bi Club and Vic- tor Cycle Club passed each other a number ef times on the road between this city and the county seat of Fairfax county. The wheelmen found the rcad in much better condition than usual, and therefore the trip was much more enjoyable than usual. Crossing the bridge at Georgetown, the wheelmen were soon out of sight of the city, although from a number of eleva- tions they were able to see the Washing- ton monument looming up over the tree tops. On the journey through the country the wheelmen made stops at springs and shady nooks, and in this way the clubs passed each other several times. No scorch- ing was indulged in by either club, and this was probably the result of having new riders in the parties, and their friends did not want to leave them behind, for fear of @ burst tire or some other sad mishap. The country tavern at Faifax Court House was reached in good time for dinner, and there was a good spread for them, they had sent word to the proprietor advance, and not a single wheelman made complaint concerning the age of the spring chicken. The wheelmen spent a short time returned home via Alexandria. Potomac Wheelmen’s Rond Race. Tuesday afternoon the Hamilton road was the scene of a gathering of wheelmen and their friends to participate in and witness the first annual road race of the Pofomac Wreelmen. The weather was all that could be desired and the road was in good condi- tion, although a little dusty. The wheel- men had set the hour of 5:30 for the one- mile event, but long before that time the: was a large gathering on the road, many ladies being there to cheer their favorites, and many of them had bunches of hand- some flowers to adorn the wheels of the winner and others. The mile stretch on the road where the race was held is almost level, being one of the prettiest pieces of road in the District. The starters were Frark Bell, William Hall, Morris Horton, WiHiam Kline and E. Bell. Mr. Sterne was timekeeper. The med- al for which the wheelmen were to contest was donated by Mr. George Weiss, and it was understood that the trophy was to be contested for each year, the member of the club winning {t three successive years being entitled to hold it against further compe- tition. At the time appointed for the race Rob- ert Reitzel, A. C. Tindall, Howard Rhine, M. Ober, J. C. McDermott, C. S. Montgom- ery and J. EB. Shoemaker appeared at the tape. Soon after the start was made How- ard Rhine took the lead and had an ap- parently easy time to keep ahead of the other participants, although he was never much in the lead. The contestants were bunched nearly the entire distance, and on the homestretch the race became quite exciting. Howard Rhine crossed the tape first, making the mile in two minutes and forty seconds, with Robert Reitzel a close second. The judges were Capt. Grant Ar- Grace of the Potomacs. When the race was finished the victor was cheered by the crowd on the road and | presented with a handsome bunch of roses. fa the evening the club held a emoker in the club rooms, on 8th street southeast, when the medal was presented to the win- ner of the race, n Valley road and at the } mor of the Victor Cycle Club and Charles | | NICK YOUNG PUZZLED Cannot Account for the Washing- tons’ Poor Work. CAPABLE OF FIRST-CLASS PLAYING High Commendation of This Year's Umpires. NOTES OF THE PLAYERS HAT DO I THINK of the Washington Base Ball Club?” said President N.E.Young of the National League in reply to an inquiry from The Star reporter. “Well, really, I do not know. If I had never wit- nessed the work of the members of the team I would unhes- itatingly say that they can’t play ball. But I have been present at every cham- Pionship game played on the home grounds this season, and therefore I know from per- sonal observation that Manager Schmelz’s men are capable of competing with the best of them. “That first Boston game was perfect, as were several others. I don’t know what to make of this string of defeats. There ap- | Pears to be no dissatisfaction among the men, there are no cliques—the whole thing is an enigma I cannot solve. It is beyond ™my comprehension. In other words, I am high up a tree and can’t see my way to the Ground without falling.” “What view do you take of the umpire Question?” was asked. “The umpiving so far this season is the best I have ever seen, and under no cir- cumstances will there be any change of men, unless accident makes that necessary. The league at present possesses the services of the best staff in its history, and I pro- pose to keep it as it stands. Nearly all the Kicks that have been made occurred in Washington, and they were unjust for the most part. I have here a letter from Presi- dent Hart of Chicago, which quotes Anson, @ chronic kicker, as saying that the umpir- ing has been faultless in every game played by the White Stockings thus far this sea- son, President Byrne of Brooklyn informs me that the umpiring of Stage in that city, on the day when the home team lost 10 to 4, was the finest he ever had the pleasure of observing, and Col. Rogers states that in his opinion they never had better work in Philadelphia than that by Stage, It is very pleasant, indeed, to receive such com- munications, “I firmly believe that every member of the staff goes upon the field with a deter- mination to do his very best and make no mistakes. They all know that if they don’t perform their duties properly that I will cut their heads off without hesitation. Then, again, it stands to reason that a man does m for the e of show: ity, “The Boston club should be Given credit for maintaining peace. They may kick oc- easionally on the field, but the minute the game is ended the disagreements are things of the past. I never hear from them. in eighteen years, I think, the Bostons have Protested not more than two games.” As The Star man was about to depart President Young said: “I engaged in rather an amusing conversation on Thursday evening. Desiring to learn the score of the Baltimore-Washington game I called cen- tral on the telephone. ‘Will you be so kind as to inform me how badly Washington beat Baltimore today? was m; query to the young lady at the other end, ‘Oh, Mr, Young,’ she replied excitedly, ‘we didn’t beat them at all—they won from us, 10 to 2. Now, aren't we ever going to win a game? I grow so, so tired of telling people every might that our club has lost.’” It was announced at the league meeting last February that a gentleman closely identified with bese ball had given a valua- ble cup to the league to be contended for each year at the end of the championship season by the first and second clubs in the race. On Thursday the donor’s name—Mr. Tem- ple of the Pittsburg club—was made known the cup put on exhibition in Maiden Lane, New York, where it can be seen dur- ing the next few days, after which it will be sent to each of the other eleven league cities for exhibition. The trophy is a hand- some piece of silver, costing 8750, and it was designed by Edwin A. Thrall. Some of the intricate figures and markings are really artistic. Thi _ is presented by Mr. Temple to the National e to be competed for each year, it becoming the property of the club winning it three years in succession. At the close of the cham- Pionship race the winner and the second team will play a special series of three, five, seven or nine games for this cup. The trophy will, of course, go to the winning club, but the new plan provides for the Players as well. All the gate receipts will go to the players, divided 65 per cent to the winners and 35 per cent to the losers, If, for obvious reasons, the pennant winner refuses to contest for the trophy and ac- companying gate receipts, the second and third clubs do the fighting, and so on down the list. Under the conditions, the eleventh and twelfth clubs may contest if the pre- ceding teams refuse. There is absolutely Ro sense in the competition. If Pittsburg should win the pennant, with Cleveland sec- ond, certainly the smoky city will not risk its prestige in this pos-mortem affair, and the same with other clubs. According to a moneyed director of the New Yorks, Ward's career as manager of the New York team is drawing to a close. The club officials are said to believe that Ward should devote his entire time to eying ball and captaining the team, and that the management should rest in the hands of some one else. According to the aBove mentioned director, unless a change in the work of the team takes place within the next few weeks the executive commit- tee of the club will assume charge of the team and will control Ward's handling of the men. The spiking of Morgan Murphy in a re- cent game at Pittsburg will serve to make the “Pirates” a very unpopular team this season. It is claimed by some that Elmer Smith did it maliciously, and if the asser- tion {is true it w: certainly a cowardly and brutal act. Morgan Murphy is a popu- lar little fellow and wouldn’t harm a player on the field to gain any point. Such acts of rowdyism and brutality cannot be tol- erated in the National League. No pun- ishment could be inflicted for such an of- fense which would be too harsh. A Boston paper says of the trouble in Tuesday’s game between Tucker and Muggsy McGraw: “In the third inning Tucker was on third and Ganzel started for second; the ball was thrown to third and Tucker slid to the bag and McGraw deliber- ately kicked Tucker in the face. Such con- duct should be stopped at once and forever, as it does not belong to the sport at all.” A Baltimore exchange replies: ‘The above writer forgot to add: ‘Unless it is the con: duct of @ Boston player.’ The fact is Mc- Graw was twice blocked by Tucker, and pc ogg Tucker slid he struck McGraw's foot.” ONLY TWO GAMES YESTERDAY.
