Lap brazed joints, strengthened by fish-mouth outside rein- forcements, are the strongest joints known in bicycle construction. Fish-mouth outside reinforcement is used mainly to perform the office of a socket for attaching one tube to another, especially where one or both tubes are of a very light gauge. In brazing light.tubes together, the intense heat necessary for the operation deprives the steel of its carbon, which is so vital an element contributing to the strength of the tubing. This renders the steel porous and crystalized by the intense heat. The fish-mouth socket has a distinct advantage over. any other style of joint, in that it permits the use of somewhat thicker ma- terial in the reinforcement, to sustain, without injury, the great heat to which it is subjected in brazing. This form of joint is even more necessary where steel tubing is used which contains a greater percentage of carbon than where tubing having a lesser proportion of carbon is employed. . Bicycle frames are subjected to great strains of vibration, and become weakened at the joints thereby, unless properly protect- ed. The vibration extends along the tubing toward the joints and is concentrated when met by the abrupt resistance of a rigid reinforcement, and the tube is thus weakened, often with fatal re- sults. This danger is obviated by the use of the outside fish-mouth socket which distributes the vibration from the tube to the rein- forcement in a graduated manner, that is, the vibrations are grad- ually absorbed, making fracture at the joint next to impossible. So much for reinforcements. For the joint proper there is ncthing so strong as lap brazing, because in its process, the supporting tube is not weakened by drilling for the insertion of a forged connection, or a “thimble” stamping. On the other hand, the supporting tube is left intact, while the attaching tube end is “flared” around it, and is held in place, quite securely, even before brazing. After brazing it forms an absolutely perfect joint, - the LIGHTEST AND STRONGEST known in bicycle frame construction. It may be interesting to know that at the World’s Columbian position, an unbrazed lap-jointed RAMBLER frame was ex- hibited, and was highly praised and honored with a special award. The fish-mouth outside reinforcement, then introduced on RAM- BLERS, has so favorably affected the construction of bicycle frames that it is now being copied by the more progressive wheel designers.

To the Editor of ‘The Evening Star: Last evening about 6 o'clock, when the stream of travel from west to east along Massachvsetts avenue, the most convenient theroughfare for thousands of people re- siding in the northeastern part of the city, was more than ordinarily heavy, tite street was blockaded for nearly ten minutes at one time by the shifting back and forth of what seemed to be a dozen empty box cars. The railroad employes seemed utterly to disregard the rights, comfort or conven- fence of the many who were compelled to stand in the cold while what seemed to be a bungling and useless shifting about of empty cars was going on. Every day causes for similar complaints are given at this crossing, as well as at other grade crossings on the Baltimore and Ohio road. Day before yesterday the Columbia street cars were delayed, according to the revort of persons who were present, for a period of fourteen minutes. I do not believe there is another city in the United States where such outrages upon the rights of the pub- lic would be tolerated as they are here. If there is any law or police regulation on the subject it seems to me the District Com- missioners should do something to enforce Wears as well as it's possible for’ patent leather to wear.

DOUGLAS Spa Club Housewarming. The Spa Cycle and Athletic Club had an opening Monday evening at its new quar- ters on the Bladensburg road. The features of the entertainment were two first-class sparring contests. One was between Jack Wilson and Arthur Jones, light weights of this city. It was for six rounds and was very evenly contested with the advantage slightly in favor of Jones, who received the decision. The other bout was between Leslie Pearce of Philadelphia and Jack Juch of Canada. It lasted twenty rounds and resulted in a draw, after some of the cleanest and cleverest fighting ever seen in this vicinity. Riding to the Hounds. M. F. H. George M. Dunn of the Chevy Chase Club yesterday announced that the hounds would meet at 10 o'clock this morn- ing at the Chevy Chase power house. Next Saturday they will start from Fort Myer; Wednesday, January 27, from Suitland, M4d., and the following Saturday will run in the vicinity of Rockville. The latter meet ought to be productive of excellent sport, down along Watts branch, about two miles from its junction with the Darnestown road, as several red foxes were reported last week in that vicin- if the pack is taken ity. ‘Washingtons Have Nine Pitchers, ‘The Washington club has signed a young He hails from Thompsonville, Conn., and was high- to the management by Ashe made a reputation pitching for semi-professional and state this latest addition the Senators’ pitching staff pitcher named Stephen J.

An operation has been performed upon the patient’s throat. Sullivan began to have considerable cifti- culty in breathing last nignt and later |strong symptoms of:-heart trouble were noted. Dr. Reynolds of Providence, who was summoned, found the sick man in a condition which necessitated his remaining with him all night. This morning Sullivan ‘was better and Dr. Reynolds decided to lance the patient’s throat. The operation gave much relief. Two hours later the dangerous symptoms had disappeared, and the ex-pugilist was resting quiculy. He will be taken to his home in Boston as soon as he is able to stand the journey. Sullivan rested very comfortably all the forenoon, and at 2 o'clock fis condition had not’ materially changed. There had been no return of the dangerous symptoms today. CARROLLS WON BOTH. The Second Team Bowls a Set at the WwW. A.C. The seccnd team of Carroll Institute visited the Washington Athletic Club last night and bowled a league set of ten-pins with the second team of the Washington Athletic Club, and won both games, the first game by 86 pins and the second game Ly the Close margin of 13 pins. Harlow of the Carrolls made the highest score of the evening—165 pins—and the best average for the set—155 1-2 pins. Story made the highest score for the Washingtons—147 pins.

A Meeting Will Be Held at Cincinnati to Make Plans. ‘The plan for the organization of a nation- al bowling league is being vigorously push- ed. February 3 next, at Cincinnati, a meet- ing will be held for the purpose oforganiz- ing a league. The {ea is to have a na- tional championship race, the games tobe Played in the alleys of the clubs entering, and the scores to be interchanged by tele- graph. Records of the zame would be kept, end a pennant or othér’ suitable’ trophy awarded. 3 “If any city cannot send representatives, though desiring membership in the league, it would be well to make a written applica- tion for membership. Clubs desiring mem- tership that are unable to be represented personally should authorize some one 10 act for them. It is suggested that proxtes be given to Mr. Samuel Karpf, editor of the American Bowler of New York, who will attend the meeting on benalf of New York and Brooklyn. It has beeen said that games played un- er the plan outlined, and on which the national league will probably be organized, would lack ex+itement unless the score of the opposing team is received at frequent intervals. Mr. Archer is now in correspond- ence with the telegraph companies, in an endeavor to have a favorable rate made for a service from the alley side by special operator and instrument. If this service cannot be had at a reasonable rate, the league will probably, at least, arrange to have scores wired at the conclusion of each frame. si McGunnigle Likely to Sue. W. H. McGunnigle," ex-manager of the Louisville base ball team, has made the following ‘statement relative to his con- nection with the team: “I was engaged by Vice President Deyler for two years at a salary agreed upon in the presence of witnesses. The contract was verbal, but it was made in the pres- ence of witnesses and printed, and I un- derstood that I was with the Kentuckians for two years.

The establishment of a new Dilliard championship, that of champion of the United States and Canada at the 14-inch balk line game, is contemplated in a prop- osition by Geo. E. Slosson.
