RE Excellent Sport at the Park Cycle Aub Track. The tweifth race meet of the given by the Park Bicycle Club, was held last evening at the third-of-a-mile track on the Conduit road, and the 1,800 specta- ters present enjoyed one of the best meets that has been held this season. The occa- ston was made more interesting than usual by the fact that Fred Sims broke a second werld’s record,and thereby clearly earns the title of handicap king, which has for some time “been the title of Nat Butler, the speedy..Cambridge, Mass., rider, who up to 4 Short time ago held the handicap records for the half and the mile, besides having a reputation of being the best handicap rider on the track. Not only was a world's record broken, smashed by nearly two sec- onds, but Fred Sims established a new local record for the mile competition, while Bob Walthour, in an exhibition event, riding in fine form, covered the fastest mile ever ridden in this city. The additional illumi- nation at the park was thoroughly appre- clated by the spectators. The Australian pursuit race was an in- teresting affair. There were eight men started, each seventy-three and one-third yards apart. Finally all were forced out but Howard Rhine and J. E. Hanger. From the trainer's quarters water was breught out and thrown upon the riders. This seemed to have a bad effect upon Rkine, and when nearing the close of the fifth mile he began to show signs of dis- tress. On the first lap of the sixth mile he was taken ill, and when on the home- stretch was caught and passed by Hanger. Rhine was so ill that he ssisted from his wheel, with his hands pressing his side, and between two officials was half carried to the dressing room. ‘The half-mile handicap, however, was tke event of the evening. ‘here were twelve starters, with Greer as limit man, having ninety yards. Sims crossed the line about a foot ahead of Walthour, while Wilson, who was on the opposite side of the track, could not have been more than two or three inches betind the Atlanta boy. ‘The other riders were almost abreast, and with the exception of two men, were all within three feet of the leading man. When the time of the race was announced the officials were wildly en- thusiastie, throwing up their hats in the air, and cheering Sims. Sims was given an ovation, though he did not ride up to the grand stand. : The former record for the half-mile han- icap was held by Arthur Gardiner, who a short time ago rode the distance in 0.58 2-5, while Sims’ time was 9.5 ; one and four-fifth seconds fas meet held Saturday evening, July broke the world’s record for th dicap, covering the distance in This record only serves to show the fast- ness of the track. Bob Walthour, paced by two triplets, went against the mile record, und despite the hard ride he made in the half-mile han- dicap he covered the distance in 1.43 3-5, the fastest mile ever ridden in this city. He was paced for two laps on a tandem season, YOUNG'S HANDS TIED Awaiting Statements by New York and Baltimore, FORFEITED GAME OF JULY 2% Mr. Hanlon Again Presents His Complaints. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES ————— The following signed statement has been issued by President Young of the National Base Ball League in regard to the New York-Baltimore forfeited game of July “The recent unpleasant incident in New York, resulting in the forfeiture of the game to the Baltimore club in the fourth inning on July is the subject of much misunderstanding on the outside of official base bail circles, and even among some of cur officials. Its status is not under: and the league and myself have bei jected to critcism for apparent apat silence might indicate that I am driftire and awaiting developments, but, cn the contrary, I have the matter well in hand with a well-defined policy, which I am covinced fits the law and the circumsiances of the casi “On July 25 Umpire Lynch reporte3 to me the forfeiture of the game to Baltimor> on account of the refusal of the New York club to continue play, and recited the cir- cumstances about as published in the papers, asserting that he did not hear any- thing insulting said by Player Holmes to the Spectators to justify his removal from the gam: “On July 26 the New York club protested to the board of directors against the de- cision ef the umpire and the result of the game. claiming that the facts and the 1a ferm no basis for the forfeiture of * game. Here the question of fact is raised as to whether the New York club dic witn- craw its team from the game as compre- hended in the league constitution and the recent legislation of the National League. The appeal was immediately transmitted to the Baltimore club for answer, and up to date no reply has been received. “This case, of course. is entirely separate ard distinet from any claim for the poen- alty imposed for the withdrawal of a team from a game before its completion, but ft at the same time forms the basis of any further action that might be taken under the provisions of section M4 of the consti- 00d, 1 sub- My tution. “After a delay of several days, during which the payment on check for Balti- more’s share of the gate receipts was stop- bed, on July 2) the Baltimore club appeal- ed to the board of directors for the forcement of the penalty withdrawat of the New Y« the completion of the game. A copy © this appeal was immediately mailed te Mr. Freedman for answer, and likewise no re- ply has been received “In the consideration of these conten- tions I have two “coniitions to bear in mind—one of fact and one of law. “First. There is a disputé as to the facts of the case as consprehended in section 54 of the league constitution pending before the board of directcrs.. Until the facts are established by the competent tribunal it would be presumption) for the secretary of the league to anticipate their finding and administer the law “Second.

It was never anticipated thatiany club wouid dis- appoint its patrons who had journeyed to the grounds and paid admission to witness a came. he secretary of thdleague, under these circumstances, awaitéd the- appeal of the Baltimore club before taking any action. It would not, in all protibility, have pre- sented its claim if it had received its share of the gate receipts, but the New York club, having stopped payment on the check, forced it to this recourse. “The matter now is in the hands of the interested clubs, and my hands are tied until they move, when I will take prompt and vigorous action, and, if it appears nec- essary, call a meeting of the board of di- rectors to adjudicate the entire matter.” Mr. Hanlon is Fir A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Chicago says: When Manager Han- lon was shown the statement given out by President Young he said: “Mr. Young does not seem to catch the point in this matter, or if he does he is trying to carry water on both shoulders. It makes no difference what Holmes or any- body else said or did, so far as the forfeit of the fines are concerned. The plain fact is that the game was stopped and further playing was prevented by Freed- man’s refusal to allow his team to con- tinue the game, and that fact is not de- nied by anybody. This being true, it is President Young's plain duty to collect the fine or stop the New York club from play- ing ball, and I shall insist on that, “President Young says Freedman has ted and we have not answered, and and until both answer his Suppose neither of us ever wers? I suppose then his hands would be forever tied and the matter would stand as it is, we getting the game and Freed- man the money, which would mean we were right and wrong, and Freedman wrong and right. “The fact is that we haye answered Mr. Freedman’s piaint in full, in so far as the forfeit and fine are concerned. I shall wire Mr. Young tomorrow demanding our ights, and shail also telegraph to the Cin- cinnati team a warning that we shall protest every game played with New York after noon tomorrow. Mr. Freedman's Answer. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from New York says: When President An- drew Freedman of the New York club was informed of the statement issued by Presi- dent Young concerning the dispute between the Baltimore and New York clubs he said: manned by Wilson, Counselman and Made | Schade, while the last lap Greer, Mueller and French, on a triplet, him around.

A special from Philadelphia says that the Cleveland team, which has been there for a week, will continue to make Philadelphia its home for at least another week, and probably still longer, playing all the re- maining games scheduled for its home grounds the remainder of the season in that city. e After Cleyeland finishes its series with Philadelphia today, the Philadelphias will go west, and Cleveland, which is now af- fectionately referred to by the Quaker city bese ball enthusiasts as “our other Phil- les,” will play four games in Philadelphia with V ashington Friday, Saturday day and Tuesday.

Mr. Winfield Scott Mercer is somewhat of a diplomat, but his talent was not given much reign yesterday. After Umpire Smartwood had his say there was less di- plomacy. Tony Mullane was one of the constant attendants at the Senators’ games in Chi- cago. “The count” wanted to see Jud Smith at work. It was while he was off on one of his periodical pouts in Montana that Antonio discovered Judson, and he brought him to Cincinnati. This is Jud's second time on league earth. Winnie Mercer, of poetic hair fame, did himself proud, and not merely pitched de- lusive ball, but fielded his position grandly 1] shutting yesterday.

Mercer rk of Umpire Smartwood and narrowly escaped a retirement, and the Washington batters claimed they were not getting their due when Smartwood cail- ed strikes on balls that passed over the corners of the plate. They knew they were up against it, and put out the display to let themselves down as lightly as possible. It was quite a thud at that. Mercer never pitched better than yester- day, and his support was about as good as ever is, but the combination was not working his way, it so often does. He rolled over those slow floaters that have barely Ife enough in them to reach the plate, and the Pirates hit them for al! sorts of flies. Why they failed so often and why the failure yesterday is merely a repetition of what has gone in other years, not only in Pittsburg, but in other cities at the ex- pense of almost all the clubs of the league, is one of the base ball mysteries. The base ball sharps assert that the first essential of a pitcher is control; second, speed, leav- ing the impression that little or nothing else is required. Such experts might take a day off and explain the success of Mer- Orth, Carsey, Keefe and a lot of oth- rs whose specialty was the slow bali. These sharps will tell how the slow ball Pitcher may be good for one game, but the next time the “swatters” and “binglers” don’t do a thing to him. In the case of Mercer they “don't do a thing to him’ at any stage. If the hitting of slow balls was SO easy it is curious that none of these selfsame experts make a success of hitting the heady pitchers like Mercer. That they don’t is history, and a refuta claim that the wt gg Nadine | c | kicked on the wo! cause of disability.
