20 WOMEN CYCLISTS. Some of the New Styles ot Bicycle Suits at McKnew’s. GRACEFUL AND MODEST There is a saying that she who wears a skirt awheeling rides be- cause wheeling is the fashion, while the bloomerite rides be- cause of her love of the exercise. However true this may be, most of the women cyclists still cling to their skirts. Positively the nicest patterns in skirts are the ones I saw at Wm. H. McKnow's, 933 Pa. ave., one of which is divided in the back, and an apron in front that falls to within three inches of the ankles and fits plainly about the hip. It is al- most as easy to move, mount and dismount in ‘as a bloomer, and it 1s decidedly graceful. I was told that these suits sold from $15 to $25, and Women cyclists should certainly inspect them.

Selbach Talks About Work in the Outfield. “BILLY” BIRD IN NEED e Although the report from Louisville that Johnny Ward has been secured to captain and manage the local club has not been verified, it is to be hoped that the rumor is true. Ward would strengthen any club in the league. Washington perticularly would have given him a great reception, but if the Colonels have secured him, then, indeed, is Dr. Stuckey and his followers to be congratulated. Sarcastic jokes and slurs will cease to be flung at the poor Colonels, and one and all of the other clubs will be clinging to the championship ladder for dear life for fear of being brushed down @ rung or two by Ward’s Kentucky Won- ders. The “little general” knows the game from A to Z, and has a knack of warm- ing the players up to him, with the result that harmony is maintained throughout the season, and games are won in cities where- in they have always been considered easy. The Washington enthusiasts will be glad to see him with the Colonels. Charley Irwin, the third-baseman se- cured by Cincinnati to take Latham’s place, has just sent in his signed contract. It will be recalled that in this city this player was knocked out of the National League into a minor league by Pitcher Sullivan, tken with the Washingtons. Irwin reached out, as he supposed, for an outshoot, while a terrific Inshoot struck rim square above the ear, knocking him insensible. For the rest of that season Irwin always pulled away from the plate on swift balls. Anson discovered this fact, and immediately re- leased him. It fs now sald that this defect has been overcome, and that his nerve has returned. There is no question about Ir- win's ability as a flelder, and ‘f he can bat up to his ‘04 form will greatly strengthen the Cincinnatis. Business Manager Bancroft of the Cin- cinnati club received a letter last week from Charley Snyder, who is located in Washington, saying that he will take great pleasure in being one of the men to par- ticipate In the game for a monument to Harry Wright on April 13. Snyder at cne time was undoubtedly one of the best catchers in the base ball business. For many years he played with Cincinnatl, and has always had the greatest regard for the deceased manager. In his letter to Ban- croft he writes that he deems it an honor to be allowed to participate In so worthy @ cause, and will come to that city with the greatest of pleasure. The buse ball public of Cincinnat! will give. him a warm welcome. Al. Selbach of the Washingtor club, be- fore leaving St. Loufs to coach a univer- sity team in Ohio, gave quite an interesting interview to one of the reporters of the Sporting Times of that city, Among other things Selbach sald that he was of the opinion that a ball player should not in- dulge in excessive card playing or reading at night. “Abbey,” he sald, “is a natural hitter, but he did not do himself justice with the stick last year. His falling off in batting was due to too much reading by artificial light. He ts a well educated fel- low, and nothing delights him as much eg a good author. When he begins a book he stays with {t until he finishes it. We are great friends, and he has promised me to be more moderate in this respect next year. Paul Radford is stuck on playing cards. I do not mean that he gambles, for he seems to take as much pleasure in solitaire as any other game. I always attributed his inability to hit the ball to this trait. There is as nice a man as ever played ball. I'll never forget his kindness to me. I suc- ceeded him as the regular right flelder of the Washington club. Instead of feelin: any resentment toward me, Paul coache me how to play the position. The sun, you know, 1s directly in the right fielder’s eyes on the Washington grounds, and a green player bas a time it. He dropped cut of the game after inheriting a large sum from his father.” Base ball followers tn this city will re- call the team of 1890 that represented Washington in the Atlantic League. “Deacon” Hill played third base on that team. Hill is now located in Galesburg, Iil., and writes to a friend in this city as follows: “Frank Bird, who was with us in Wash- ington during the season of 1890 and in &t. Louis in 1892, and while with the latter club was stricken with paralysis, causing the loss of speech and use of limbs, has for three years been thus; but at last there is a ray of hope, as he can now talk some and also walk a little. But his money is gone, and, being unable to help himself yet, I would ask all the boys who see these lines to contribute whatever they can to help him keep up the treatment, that he may be with us once more, or at least get able to take care of himself. I would espe- clally. call the attention of our old Wash- ington boys of that year’s team—Lew Whistler, Herman Bader, Jack Riddle, Bill Phillips and the rest—to do what they can for our old comrade. Also Connie Mack, Ted Sullivan and all the players who can do anything. Even if only fifty cents or a dollar, it will be thankfully received by Frank. He 1s at home in Spencer, Mass. Think what a deserving boy he is, and what a bright future was before him just as he was stricken down.” Pitcher Breitenstein appears to have caught on to a great friend in Orra Havill of the Chester club of Illinois, and from present indications will stick to him. The idea of Von Der Ahe and Brush bringing the Illinois League in under the protection of the national agreement is laughed at by President’ Havill, who says that he has the assurances of four clubs that they will stand by him, and if they don’t he will organize another league. Havill says he will have the Chicago magnates after him next, 2s he intends to sign one of their star catchers, Kittredge no doubt. The latter player is holding off for a raise, and unless he gets it may go to the Chester club. Money talks in bese ball, as in any other business, and as Havill apparently has plenty of the long green the two play- ers, Breitenstein and Kittredge, may be said to be on the sunny side of East street. President Young left for New York last Saturday with a very heavy heart. A fa- vorite daughter of his, who had recently been given a handsome bicycle, and was out riding that afternoon, fell off the ma- chine in some way and broke her leg. The accident occurred in the Soldiers’ Home grounds, and owing to the distance from home the limb became greatly inflamed be- fore a doctor reached the sufferer’s side. After an examination it was decided that the limb could not be set until the next day, owing to the inflammation. At this writing Miss Young is getting along nicely. No one in the household enjoyed the home- coming of Uncle Nick more than did the little sufferer, and each piece of the big silver service presented to her father in New York had to be brought to the bed- side to be praised and ccmmented on. Previous to last fall’s meeting of the big league President Freedman of the New Yorks gave it out that he was going to show up the “Little Napoleon” of Brook- lyn in a way that would shame his friends and please his enemies. When that meet- ing was over Mr. Freedman was asking “where he was at,” and Mr. Byrne was the victor with a big V. Since then Freedman lay low for his enemy, not saying much, but doing a great deal of quiet work, hop- ing to best Mr. Byrne at the schedule meeting. Again the “Little Napoleon” showed his fine Italian hand and display- ed the great pull he has with the league by taking Ward away from New York, a move that cost the latter management ful- ly $10,000. This is Freedman’s second year in base ball, and by. the time he reaches his fifth year, if he lasts that long, he will Probably come to the conclusion, as have many others before him, that “for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain” the beatLen Chinee fs not in the same class with base ball magnates. Local criticism of the base ball schedule seems to be based on the m! rehension that sentiment was the controlling motive in assigning holiday games. The Wash- ington club goes to Pittsburg Decoration day, because the attendance will reach ful- ly 20,000 for both games, whereas in this city half that number would be 2 good at- tendance. For the same reason the local on to Philadelphia on July 4. The attendance in Washington never equals the other cities on holidays; it Is the steady 2,500 average a game throughout the sea- son that makes this city a good base ball town. St. Louis will run a crowd up to 15,000 or 20,000 on Sundays and then on Monday drop back to 500. The reason the Senators go to Pittsburg and Philadelphia is because the Wagners have put in a re- Quest with Presidént Young for the dates, and the latter, seeing his way clear, gave them what they wanted. Everybody knows that the holiday games’ attendance is equally divided, and as a matter of busi- ness each magnate is after the richest plum. It is useless to protest over such a small thing as a schedule; let the club win gemes, and it is a “cinch” bet that it can play in Kalamazoo on the holidays and never a murmur will be uttered. Pittsburg ig finding fault because it has the Louis- villes to open and olose the season with. Perhaps hearty thanks may be uttered at the close of the season that things ‘were so arranged. Cincinnati wanted the Fourth of July at home, but instead goes to Pitts- burg, gets no holidays at all, but is given numerous Sundays as a consideration. The magnates came to the conclusion long ago that everybody cannot be satisfied and that what they do not get this season they may get next. ATLANTIC LEAGUE PLAYERS. President. Crane Announces the Men Signed by the Six Teams, President Crane of the Atlantic League has sent out the following corrected lst of players signed by the members. The small number accredited to Jersey City is ex- plained by the fact that the surplus “young tlocds” of the New York team will repre- sent the town, President Freedman owning both teams. “Brother John” Irwin will manage the Jersey team. With Newark—Leo Smith, Harry Hughes, Adams Rothfus, John Rothfus, James Ker- wan, Thomas Donahue, Lewis Wisehecker, A. McCann, W. H. Dinsmore, Daniel Dun- kle, Thomas P. Burns, James Stout, F. H.

From the New York Telegram. Secretary Carlisle walked up to the reg- ister of the Fifth Avenue Hotel last Sunday evening and wrote his name. Behind him was N. E. Young, an employe of the Treas- ury Department at Washington. The Ken- tucky statesman did not recognize the treasury employe, although Mr. Young's name {is more widely known throughout the country then that of the average United States Senator. He has been a clerk in the Treasury Department from the time that Carlisle began to attract attention as a politician, and fs now in his twenty-fifth year of official service with the National Base Ball League. For his service for Uncle Sam Mr. Young gets something like $2,500 a ycar. The National Base Ball League pays him $4,000 more to act as its president ond secretary. Base Ball Gossip. Hugh Duffy will coach the University of Virginia team. ‘The league meeting was odd because of the lack of deals. The Pirates open and close the season away from home. Charlie Zimmer is president of the Union Grocery Company of Cleveland. Frank Scheibeck has abandoned the idea of organizing the Detroit City League. Harry Staley is superintendent at his father’s mines in Petersburg, Ill. New York and Brooklyn will not meet on the ball field this year till the middle of June. Pittsburg had fourteen Saturdays on their home grounds. Jim Hart wanted to kill the Temple cup. Last August he favored playing for the trophy. Bert Inks thinks that he will be happy because he will be a member of the Phii- lies. Patsy Tebeau says he will retire if the Clevelands do not win the pennant this year. Eddie Eiteljorg, who was with Washing- ton for a while some years ago, has signed with Grand Rapids. “Con” Dailey declares he is entirely re- covered from the injury to his spine, and that he will be able to catch for the Brook- lyns this year. The Baitimore plan is a good one. They get a man filled up on oysters and cham- pagne and get him to sign a contract. President Robison says that Wallace is worth his weight in gold, if only to play against the Brooklyns. President Young thinks that the Colonels will land seventh. Come, Nick, stop guying the poor infants.—Exchange. Vonderhorst bet John Kelly $100 even that the Baltimores will win the champion- ship. Tebeau was asked which in his opinion was the best base ball city in the league, and jhe replied: “Undoubtedly Philadel- phia.” Mack said there are five clubs in the east which are certaimt of winning the pen- nant. The Washington people were the only ones who did not boast of capturing the flag.—Exchange. The Pittsburgs recently played their first game at Hot Springs, and had a fair crowd. The teams were named after the two lead- frig hotels, the Eastman and the Arlington. Beckley, Killen, Lyons, Ely and Menefee played on the Arlingtons. While each league is entitled to three representatives at the minor league con- vention in this city March 16, Murnane, president of the New England League, and Hough of the Pennsylvania State League are the really active spirits in the call. It is not sure that the Western League or the Eastern League will fall in with the pur- poses of the meeting, which are intended to be somewhat warlike. President Hart of the Chicago club had been slated as a fifth member of the na- tional board of arbitration, but the efforts of Messrs. Abell, Byrne, Brush and Robi- son were directed against his immediate election. The selection of the fifth member went over to the Novmber meeting against the protests of Boston, Philadelphia and New York. “The American Association clique in the National League,” said Mr. Freedman, ‘‘will soon get to the end of their rope. Tricky legislation in base ball must cease. Business principles and honest dealings must govern the gre@t national game, and will, pretty soon.” The Louisville club is going south this year. The colonels will locate at Houston to do their practicing. Capt. Anson 1s san- guine over the prospects of securing a few lates with them. The games, if played, ought to improve greatly the work of both teams. The old man says he will be able to judge how his men are doing when he compares the defeats they give the Texas nines to those administered by the Louis- villes. Preparations are now complete for the Chicago Base Ball Club’s annual sojourn in Téxas. Capt. Anson takes a score of pro- spective “Colts” with him to Galveston Saturday morning. The men will begin practice immediately on their arrival, play- ing almost every day with the state clubs until they go to Kansas City to swell the Harry Wright monument fund by a benefit game. * Those who have been selected to go fovth on the training trip are Donahame, Kittredge, Anson, Everett, Dolan, Parrott, Dahlen, Truby, McBride, Ryan, Lange, Mc- Farland, Flynn, Gritfith, Decker, Terry, Friend, Rice and Briggs. Shooting Tourney at Rockville. The Reckville Rod and Gun Club will hold a shootirg contest at Reckville, April 17 and 18, and good prizes will be awarded the winners. Invitations will be sent to all gun clubs in this vicinity to participate. The proceeds of the contest will be devoted to the purchase of partridges for restock- ing the county, surrounding Rockville. TO GUIDE THE LEAGUE 3b Something About the I. A. W. Lo : ident, A MAN WITH YARIED ABILITIES What the Organization Has Done for-Good Roads. alee tee MEASURES FOR, WHEELMEN The new president of the League of American Wheelmen, Sterling Elliott, is | @ unique man in more than one respect. Full of dry wit and humor, and the wielder of a pen thet can at times be turned into the very essence of sarcasm, he is a man who made his mark and a name in wheel- ing circles long before he assumed the Presidency of the league. He is a good man at the helm of the organization, and will undoubtedly steer the national asso- ctation of wheelmen in the course of pros- Perity during the ensuing year. Though a resident of New England, he is not a Yankee by birth. On the con- Sterling Elliott, President League. of the trary, he is a westerner, being a product of the state of Michigan, where he was born in 1852. His father conducted a milling establishment, but the propensities of the son ran in another direction, and at the age of nineteen years he started in to learn the carriage making trade. The ease with which he became famfilar with his trade is demonstrated by the fact that in eleven months he was promoted to the position cf foreman. In the field of mechanical study he has done many things. He is the inventor of a dash stitching machine. He also designed the only successful machine that has ever tied a square knot in a thread. He is the designer of the pneumatic trotting sulky, his “ideas being covered with seventeen different patents. Another invention 1s the immense electric chronograph, which times to the sixtieth part of a second, used for races. In the world of thought he has also made his mark. In his speeches he has a stylo peculiar to himself, which Is always eftec- tive. His writings arc none the less so, I. B. Potter, Chief Council New York Divi and he is the author cf several valuable bicycle works. He now has the contract for publishing the offic bulletin of the league, and in this publication is often- times seen some of his work, especially in @ humorous way. He has been a member of the league for ten years, his interest in cycling and good roads extending back to that period. In Massachusetts he has especially made him- self felt, and for the past six years he has been a member of the board of officers. He has also been a member of the National Assembly since 1800, and his presence has had a good effect. In 184 he was chairman of the national highway committee of the league. He was elected to the position of chief consul of Massachusetts at the an- nual meeting in the fall of 1894, and at the meeting last fall he was re-elected to the position. Forming the L. A. W. The League of American Wheelmen was formed in 1880 at Newport, R. I. Kirk Munroe, the president of the New York Bicycle Club, was the first president, and he served until the fall of the following year, when the board of officers held a meeting in New York city and formally organized the present organization, the membership at that time being 527.' The objects of the league as origirally defined by the constitution were to promote the general interests of cycling, to ascertain, Archibald C. Willison, Ex-President. defend and protect the rights of wheelmen and to encourage and:facilitate touring. It was not until nearly. ten years later that the amendment was made providing for the improved condition of public roads and highways. = Ever since its existence the original cb- jects have been kept in view and the or- ganization has lived-jose to its original nes. In pushing agitation of good roads the league has pent over $120,000 within the past sevemyears, the work being begun in a very modest sort of way. In fact, when the agitation for good roads was first inaugurated ‘the moftinent was ridiculed and oppositfon was developed on every hand. The steady work of the league officials, however, has been of great value, and owing to the rare inducements of the bicycle thousands of lawmakers have be- come riders and by practical experience learned the Value of good roads, ° Working for Good Roads. This has been of great value in as- sisting the work of the organization in this direction. At the present day there is not a state in the Union in which the agitation for good roads has not made its appear- ance and is being kept up in a good man- ner. In its good roads crusade the lengue has spent thousands of dollars in printing and distributing pamphlets and other liter-- ature on the subject free of charge. These pamphlets and publications treated of the construction of good roads, showed that it cost less in the long run to build a good road than keep an old one in repair, and through this means alone an immense mount of good has been accomplished. At “in courts, one time the organization publisned a mag- azine called Good Roads, which has been Conporiated with the official organ of the league. Outside of the road crusade the league has done an immense amount of good to the wheelmen in general in looking after their rights and defending their legal status discriminating against Statutes through its influence; many rights which the bicyclists now enjoy have been obtained through the untiring vigilance of the league officials. There are, however, Jaws in many states which are unjust and which discriminate against the wheelmen. Time has worn away the old-time prcju- dices which existed against wheeling, Lut there are still many active enemies to the sport against whom the league is waging warfare. In the matter of racing the general pub- lic ‘owes much to this organization. Through its efforts the high standard of bicycle racing is entirely due, and though there has been a good deal of criticism as to the league's methods of dealing with racing men, the system in use at the pres- ent time is undoubtedly the best that has ever been devised. Witheut the strict supervision which the league muintains over races in general the sport would soon be dragged to a low level and lose all the popularity which it has gained at Lhe pres- ent time. et Ball. Only one game in the Basket Ball League was played during the week, and that be- tween the Corcoran Cadets and the Car- roll Institute, the latter winning by the score of 18 to 2. The game was clean and vold of revgh playing. The Military Cyclists were scheduled to meet the W. L. I. team, but failed to show up, which looks bad for them. The game was awarded to the Light Infantry by the score of 1 to 0. The official score of the league up to date is as follows: Teams. Won. Lost. P.C. Wash.

Von Lindgren is at the bottom of the lst, but he will doubtless be heard from later. The third assignment of the games will come off this evening at the C. A. C. club house. The Carroll Institute team played a _re- markable game on their own alleys last Saturday, defeating the team from the Baltimore Catholic Club three straight games. The team work of the local team Was excellent and the men played nearly even. Schulteis played !n only one game, his place being taken by Queen in the jast two games. Armstrong made the best showing of any of the players ir the last game, and also ran up the best total for the series. The Carroll Institute team will go over to Baltimore Tuesday, March 10, and pluy a return series of three games. In the bowling league only two games were played during the week, which did not affect the standing of the clubs. The Carroll In- stitutes and the Washington Athletic Club teams were the contestants In two games, with honors being evenly divided, the latter team winning the first game with a lead of twenty-four pins and losing the second game by 97 pins, The following table shows the relative standing and the highest game bowled by tke players in four or more games: Highest Games, |_ game. a 35 Bt 86 25 84 16 B1 28 u 10 80 26 r 4 4 2 10 14 10 155 12 1s. . 4 150 6 145 bi +6 165 The standing of the clubs up to date is as foliows: PC.

A.C. and All-Washington Hockey Teams to Play. A game of hockey will te played this evening at the skating rink between the teams of the Washington Hockey Club and the Columbia Athletic Club. This will be the first meeting between the teams. The C. A. C. boys have played only one game, and that was with the team representing the University of Maryland, losing by a score of 2 to 0. The game was full of good plays, and considering the strength of their opponents the local boys did well. The Washington Hockey Club has played two public games. The first was with the Berkeley team of this city, defeating that club by 1 to 0. The second game was with the Baltimore Athletic Club team, and the game was lost by 9 to 0.

Their first appearance will be in the afternoon at 8 o'clock, when a game of la crosse will’ be played on the fce. In the evening will occur a game of hockey. These teams during their tour will play for a handsome silver cup, offered by the managers of the New York,Fittsburg and Washington rinks, and at each of these places a game will be played. The cup is known as the United States trophy for the championship of the world. ‘Arrangements are being made for a num- ber of races week after next, which will include some of the leading skaters, in distances of from one to ten miles. Among those secured are Joe Donoghue, Hawley Davidson and Howard Mosher, the latter two having not only lowered some of Donoghue’s records, but have beaten him in match races. The Eastern Athletic Club. The Eastern Athletic Club, which was or- ganized several months ago, is in a flourish- ing condition. The club has completed its arrangements for the entertainment and dance to be given at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on 8th street southeast, March 12. The last meeting of the club was largely attended, the principal thing accomplished ing the change of quarters. The commit- herd charge of the matter had selected the premises at 225 Pennsylvania avenue south- east, which action was reported to the club, and the report was una usly adopted. The future quarters comprise eight rooms, which the club proposes to furnish elegant- ly. A committee was appointed at the meet- ing for that purpose. After the meeting, the club, in a body, headed by a drum corns, marched to Odd Feilows’ Hall to attend the fair given under the auspices of that order. The club was welcomed by the chairman of the reception committee in a very appropriate speech, which was responded to In a happy manner by Mr. R. R. Revelle, the president of the club. The club cleaned the paddle stand of all useful articles, which they intend to use for adorning their new home. Later in the evening they had an impromptu cske walk in the hall, and after much fun and hilarity Messrs. W. C. Wiikerson and Ed. arece decided the winners.
