TO ESTABLISH CRICKET HERE, A Strong Effort Being Made to Raise the Money Needed. A strong effort is being made to place the game of cricket on a permanent footing in this city. During the season of "95 and ‘96 the Washington Cricket Club played on a ground at 18th street and Columbia road, but this was so ill-adapted to the purpose that no club frcm elsewhere could be in- vited to play a match upon it. Three matches were played with Baltimore clubs on the latter's grounds. The cul» now announces that it has se- cured the use—rent free—of desirabie grounds at Chevy Chase, which can be put into condition for vse as a cricket field next season at moderate expense. Cricket players are not numerous here, and the amount needed to erect a building for storage of implements, use as dressing room, e can be secured only by interest- ing more people in the game and its estub- lishment here. The club, therefore, appeals to all who have at heart the cultivation of a lking for the better class of manly ath- letic sports to aid in the development of the game of cricket. Applications for mem- bership in the club whould be made to A. W. Cherrington, 1329 Q street northwest. Contributions for fuiprovement of ground, etc., may be made through any member of the following committee: J. Macbride Ster- rett, Columbian University; Cecil Clay, De- partment of Justice; Charles C. Binney, Depariment of Justice; A. W. Cherrington, 1329 Q street northwest; Morris Hacker, Chevy Chase, . A Fifteen-Reund Draw. Jack Evcrhardt of ‘New Orleans and Matt Matthews of Brooklyn fought a fifteen- round draw at the’ Union Park Athletic Club in New York.Jast night. Matthews had a lenger reach, byt Jack was decidedly the heaviest by f% or seven pounds. There was a good deal of bickering be- tween the two men 4nd their attendants, owing to the fact that they were billed for twenty rounds when the articles orly called for fifteen. It was finally ag only to go the shorter distance. Jn left hand was injured in the seventh round, and he saved it during the remainder of the fight. Matthews made un excellent showing, and his trainer expe2s great things from him in the near future. If Jack had not hurt his hand the result might have been different, as the New Or- leans man was very strong up to the last round, when Matthews got-in some heavy swings.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., January Among the bills recommended for passage in the house has been one making it unlaw- ful to play foot ball in the state. The bill weht to the committee on rights, which de- cided that it was only fair that the house should have a fair chance at the bill. The bill as it stands does not ciscriminate in favor of unprofessional foot ball.

Lap brazed joints, strengthened by fish-mouth outside rein- forcements, are the strongest joints known in bicycle construction. h-mouth outside reinforcement is used mainly to perform the office of a socket for attaching one tube to another, especially a a es es as ts a ee % where one or both tubes are of a very light gauge. > if 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. BS The fish-mouth socket has a distinet ad any other = tage ove style of joint, in that it permits the use of somewhat thicker ma- terial in the reinforcement, to sustz 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 emploved. 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 fishanouth socket which distributes the vibration from the tube to the rein- forcement in a Iuated 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 nothing so strong as lap brazi $ 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 “fared” around it, and is held in Soshonteeseesentonton sete enndetntnteeetntne a ee te a te te te ts Be se Sordongees place, quite securely, even before brazing.
