Notes nml General I.ocul
Uoilp.
Cycling. Was ever such croze known be
to re I
And we arc assured by the best authorities
that It Is a practice come to stay , because It
calves the problem of exercising , at the same
time keeping In the fresh air while enjoying
a moU exhilarating pleasure , and It Is
feasible for man and woman alike.
Juet at present the question occupying the
minds of a vest number of cyclists Is the
nummer tour , a diversion predicted as about
to bo the amusement most In vogue for this
season
Especially among the fair devotees of the
wheel will this novel and delightful mode of
pleasuring be In high favor.
In planning such a trip the first considera
tion Is good company. A sensible. Jolly
married pair must be selected to play pro
priety ; the rest nf the party should be con
genial , good-tempered and Inured to the Idea
of roughing It.
And what opportunities are offered on a
cycling tour for the youthful masculine and
feminine fancy to have full play ! The
coaching tours abroad so proverbial as prolific
in matrimonial results are not In tt with
the cycling tour. The mounts , the leisurely
shins , the walks up hill , the long rests In
Bomo shady spot , the general gaiety arising
from the unchecked flow of fun and good
spirits , as well as from all torts of amusing
accidents and Incidents happening along the
way every condition Is favorable to the pro
motion of that "sweetest thing In life , " par
ticularly If a tadcm cycle Is used. Too
largo a party is not desirable. It Is wisest
to limit the number to six or eight.
The next matter of Importance Is the
choice of a route. Shall It be near at hand
and of a few days' run or an extended
journey In some distant portion of the
country ?
In determining on a tour It pays to have
one member of the party join the organiza
tion now familiar by name to all good cjclers ,
the League of American Wheelmen , whose
tecretary U W. S. Hull , 78 White building ,
nnADY FOU run START.
Buffalo , N. Y. The fee IB very small , the
advantages of membership Immense. In the
first place Its "tour book , " maps , road books
anil hand books are absolutely reliable am
full of Information as to tours In varlcus part
of the country , the most'popular roads , theli
character and condition , hotel rates and ac
commodatlons , with numberless other point ;
All members are allowed reduced hotel rates
The cost per day and per capita depend :
entirely on the purse and requirements o !
the party. The best hotels , with no c\ <
pense spared on the transportation of inu
chines , luggage , refreshments or other com
forts , will levy a lax of ? 5 dally. Tin
economical pleasure seeker can nccompllsl
the same results for $1 or less. A bed at i
small hotel or a farm house , though not al
ways downy , answers the purpose to the tlrei
but happy tourist too placid and sleepy to bi
disturbed ; while fresh eggs and milk with t
"piece of pie" In addition can bu had foi
a song.
As for drinks along the way there Is notli
Ing so wholesome and refreshing , would tin
thirsty wheeler but believe It , as a cup o
cool spring water. Cold milk has the ad
vantage ot being food as well as drink , but I
Is not always altogether satisfactory as i
thirst quencher.
The journey once settled upon It Is well fo
the feminine tourists contemplating It ti
prime themselves on several Important points
She should practice going ten miles fnrtlic
each day , beginning with ton miles for i
start ; the great trouble with women Is tha
they are apt to overdo at first. Another iteu
Is practice on a nairow path , as countr ;
roads are often rough and the side patl
must b3 resorted to. She should also be con
versant with the construction and working o
her bicycle In case of accldcnl.
The next thing In order Is vvhal shall sh
wear. If she wishes to bo a howling swel
she cannot do better for cool \\catticr thai
order a suit the exact counterpart of tha
worn by Mrs. Schuyler Hamilton , nno of th
crack wheclwomcn of Now Yor's Mlchau ;
Cycle club.
This was callol the bmartcst rostume at th
club. Thp skirt Is cut from dust colorei
Kngllih covert cloth , quite full , reaching t
the shoo tops and lined with scarlet silk
The waist Is a short , tight fitting Norfol !
jacket lined with satin and lias a ttamlln
collar fastened vvlth a storm button. ;
double row ot small round buttons made c
the cloth set In horn , extends down th
length of the waist , one row serving to taste
It. The sleeves are full , but not stiffened
Tan colored leather phocs with rubber sole
are worn , and palters ot the cloth button t
the knee , though the very latest novelty I
footgear Is the tan leather shoo lacing to tb
knee , a style making the ankle neat an
slim.
slim.Tho
The undergarments should be of blac
silk , anJ a chart silk petticoat Is worn. ,
smart little Tarn O'Shanler with a scarle
wing stuck jauntily on ono sldo complete
this fetching rig , while the gloves shoul
bo of heavy Kid or dogskin , very loose.
Kor hot weather the newest thing Is th
skirt of Uusslnn homespun so popular wit
men. It looks for all the world like eras
toweling. Is Rrny In color and cool , and ci
be put right In the tub and vvashocl an Itni
of weight to tbo grimy tourist.Vlth thi
goes a linen shirt walft. In 1'arU ono c
white Victoria lawn Is much In vogue , bu
for a trip longer than one day n darKcr cole
Is more serviceable. A cap pealonl back on
front should tic worn with this costume , or
straw hat with brim , otherwise a coat of ta
Is the result.
A Entail veil should always bo worn t
hold the hair In place and ward off sunbun
unless the vvhrclwoman Is supcrrenslbli
with more regsrJ for her eyes than he
complexion , when she will dispense with th
Tell attl wear an Invl'lblo hair net.
Still another question nf vast Importanc
Is what lo carry on a tour. A man ca
load thirty pounds in his diamond shape
box strapped to Din hanjlo bar , and so can
woman In bloomers. The feminine tourli
must content herself with from flve to te
poundj conllncd partly In the tourist's ba
strapped under the frame , partly In the lut
gage carrier fastened to the handle , mites
the straps a knapsack to hcrielf , us soni
wheelers do.
The tool bag mutt go at all hazards , ut
Ices she can depend on that ot tome othc
member of the party. There are toilet art
cle , us few as she can be satiifted wit )
tewing Implements In cato ot a rent or
mining button. A telescope drinking cu
Is another nccouHy. Next come * mncklr
toib , thick jacket and change of uudergai
menu. If the excursion Is lo be a lout ; un
the can forward her trunk by train to noni
destined spct.
This touring will iraUo n wonderful chant
In the fair cjclltt Tliere 1 * nothing Ilk
cycling for the tliln woman or the stou
cither. It makes the liver work , fool dlgei
and ciute4 a. fine appetite , tuui affording th
thin woman , who Is apt to be Illy nourished ,
a new Impetus , brightening her eyes , red
dening her cheeks and doing her over gen
erally. While for the stout woman the ex
ercise hardens and consolidates her flesh
and makes her look dimmer , even though It
may not change her In actual weight. It
pulls down the flesh obout her hips and
glvej her a trimmer walstt H Is hard for
an American woman with a tendency to
ward too much avoirdupois to walk easily ,
for her proverbially small feet and ankles
arc apt to give out. In cycling , wh're the
weight Is kept entirely off these dainty mem
bers , this difficulty lo entirely done away
with.
Indeed , to sum It up , cycling is the acme
of health and happiness for the fair sex , and
Uio cummer tour Ils crowning glory.
Now that the big road race Is over Omaha
wheelmen will turn their attention to the
six day race at the Coliseum , which starts
promptly at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening.
The track has been rebuilt for the event and
Is now ono of the fastest Indoor tracks In the
country. The turns are banked so as to
allow a rider to make them nt top speed.
Several of the men who are training for tha
ace have ridden miles on It in 230 , which
considered very fast Indoor work. The
ntry list embraces some of Omahas fastest
dcri and nit they have been training fnlth-
illy the success of the race Is assured ,
hose who will face the staitor's pistol to-
orrow e ilng are : H. C. Oadke , L. H.
elton , R. 13. McCullough , William Coulter ,
I. L. Hclnzmun , R. V. Hallow ay and H. 12.
"Vcderlckfcon. Captain 12. L Potter of the
maha Wheel club Is to be referee , and J. E.
bersolc , F. H. SlefKen , J. L. Llvesay Judges ,
t will continue for six nights , two hours and
lii-lf each night. A good band will be In
ttendance during the week to add enjoy
nent to the races. Monday evening at 7
'clock there will be a grand parade of wheel-
ten through the principal streets and all
ho participate will be admitted to the
ace that evening free. The people can rest
issurcd that there will be no faking and
hat the race will be ridden and won on Its
lerlts. Those who enjoy the sport should
urn out and give the riders a hearty send-

In consequence of the result of the road
uce theie are In Omaha today a few dls-
ippolnted racing men. The favorites did not
eem to be materially In the race. Trcderlck-
icm , the young man the knowing onps
iad picked for a winner , was hopelessly out
f It , being one of the last scratch men to
nlsli. Considerable money changed hands ,
he betting being quite heavy for a bicycle
ace. Denman rode In splendid form con-
Iderlng that he has had but three weeks'
raining. Ho made over two-thirds of the
iace for the rcratch men and had there
jeen any of them willing to have tet their
hare of the pace the time prize would have
gone to a scratch man , but as It was , they
eie all afraid of Mr. Krederlckson
laving heard beforehand of his wonderful ( ? )
lerformances they naturally all saved them
e-Ken for the finish. To say the least
he handicapping was rank , and had the as-
oclatlon put It In the hands of the official
handlcapper we think It would have been
a great deal more satisfactory. Taken as
a whole the race was a great success , and
t Is hoped that the clubs will make It an
innual affair.
Darnell's performance at Louisville Deco-
atlon day was truly marvelous , riding alone
unpaced. He equaled Banger's wonderful un-
paced inllo of 2 07 1-5 , and ho Is a Nebraska
nan , too. That Is what makes It all the
better. Darnctt has a great future before
"ilm If he continues in the course he Is now
n and takes proper care of himself.
William Lyle Dickey requests us to state
hat the publication of a recent Interview
ivlth him In a local contemporary , which
Itiotcs him as being In favor of the proposed
antcin and boll ordinance , was not author
ed and that he has never seen the ordl-
mnce and consequently Is neither for nor
against It.
W. R Claik , an 1S95 novice , surprised
everybody by his riding In the road race
mounted on a twenty-two-pound Columbia.
Ho won second prize from the four-minute
nark.
The Omaha Wheel club runs to Plaits-
mouth today , leaving the club house at 8 a.
m. They will be met at LaPlatto by ths
Plattmnouth Wheel club and accompanied on
the rest of the trip by them.
The Omaha Wheel club made another of
Its good old runs last Sunday. An even
two dozen made the trip to Missouri Valley
and return. The day was a beautiful one
for the ride , and , as usual , the best of a
good time was had. It was regretted that
more did not turn out. However , these long
runs do not catch the boys very well. Mr.
J. H. Taylor made the trip with apparent
ease this being his first road ride and it
w 111 not be many more days before ho will
glvo some of the old scorchers a good time
on the road. Stay with It , Taylor.
What has become of our old "road horse , "

Itrutn Tomorrow Mglit.
The six-day amateur bicycle race opens at
the Coliseum tomorrow night and a week
of great tport Is forthcoming. Thers Is an
Immense field of entries , and Manager Hey-
den has the old Coliseum and its beautiful
track In the finest kind of shape. His
preparations have been thorough , and his
efforts will evidently be crowned with abund
ant success , for everbody Is going to tee
the race. There Is an Immense 'cycle con
tingency In Omaha just now , and the six
nights' sport will be witnessed by a large
and fashionable attendance.
One thing can bo said of Manager Heyden's
project and that Is , his prize list amounts
to two or three times , as much In actual
value as was ever ( ifjercd at a wheeling meet
In this city. ThK Is a decisive point In
favor of the race. Thers are lo be but two
hours and a half riding each evening of the
meeting , from 8 to 10:30 : o'clock , opening up
tomorrow evening The hundreds of ami-
teurs In the city are all In a furore over the
ic'tlnir , which Insures a large attendance
Ightly. At 7 p. in. tomorrow afternoon
here will be a gorgeous parade a-wheel
Bvery man riding In this will be given free
dmlsslon that evening , and It Is already as-
ured that th parade In length and general
ffertlveness will eclipse any former achieve
ment In this line over witnessed In Omaha.
Jvory wheelman and wheelwoman In the city

hortly after S o'clock.
The track at the building has been won-
erfully Improved , and In practlceVhcre has
icen some mirvclous lime shown. The prize' ,

orlh striving for. The contestant who
: overs the most ml'cs ' In the six nights will

icrlal bicycle ; the second best man with an
S5 Monarch ; the third , a $40 gold watch ;
he fourth , with a $25 silver watch , while

In addition to theto trophies there will be

he fifth , a $5 pair of boxing gloves.
All of these prizes will be awarded Im
mediately upon the announcement of the
eferee's decision , and these conditions are
uch as should Insure an extra large field of
ibntestants.
I'rnm n Tourist's Note llnnlc.
The club will make a run to Plattsmouth
oday , provided the weather and roads are
'avorable. Arrangements have been made
'or the club members at the Hotel Rlley , so
.hat no one need go hungry. Some ot Uic
[ Mattsmouth boys will meet the club at the
i'latte river bridge and escort them Into
; own. The plan is to return by way of
i'aclfic Junction and the lUuffj. As this Is
ono of the pretty runs and a favorite every
club man should turn out and bring his
cycling friends with him.
The June run cards are out and In the
hands of the club members. The captain hu
picked out some of tlio best runs of the
Ecason for the month , and the club will have
a chance to prove Its right to the motto , "In
the Saddle. " The most enjoyable part of the
bicycle clubman's life Is spent In the sad
dle.
Charllo Edwards , T. R. Huston and G. A.
Fuchs were three ot the club to finish In the
road race that made a good showing for men
who make no pretentious to racing ability.
Keep at It boys and you will develop Into
good men for these parts.
John Hynes was pushed off by the club
mascot In the road race and up to a late
hour ho hod not appeared over the top of
the hill coming toward the tape. Am afraid
that push scut him on the way to Mlllard
or some other seaport.
Leonard Hartson Is the champion hill
climber of the club since last Sunday , he
having brdken .the Garner hill record by
surmounting Its top on his wheel. The men
who have climbed It heretofore are as scarce
as hen's teeth. Len , we doff our cap.
Mrs. Georgu M. Randall presented the
club with a beautiful slik flag at the special
meeting held last week. Mrs. Randall re
ceived a vote of thanks for her kind gift
and the club's secretary was Instructed to
apprise her of the club's appreciation. The
flag IH a beauty , fashioned after the manner
of the United States army guidon , mounted
on a hollow , burnished bra&s standard and
fastened at the top with a knot of club
colors from which fall a heavy silk cord and
tassolu ; the field Is white emblazoned with
the club emblem , a cherry diamond and
navy blue arrow , In the center , wreathed
with the words "Tourist Wheelmen of
Omaha. " A color bearer will bo appointed
each month to carry the ensign , the pleasant
duty for June falling upon Sam J , Howe.
The colors will only be taken out upon spe
cial occasions and will fly from the head of
the column.
Harry C. Hartry , one of the enthusiastic
club members , has named one of his brands of
cigars "Tourist Wheelmen. " The cigar has
become popular with the club men already.
Are you going to attend ths meet at
Kearney this year ? If so , try and Join the
"meet club" and make the trip a-wheel. John
Hynes can tell you all about It.
Will M. Barnum made his second century
last Sunday and has applied for his gold bar.
The Century club board will pass on his
application for bars for May 19 and May 2C.
Will Is rapidly becoming a warm member
of the centurions. He had a hard ride of It ,
both out and coming In , on account of the
wind , which blew directly In his fac'e.
Ono resignation was handed In at the
special meeting last week , and was accepted.
Club emblems for your sw eater may be
obtained of Frank Newcomb , secretary of the
club. Club caps can be obtained of W. A.
Klngaley at Frederick's.
The Turners and the Tourists had a splen
did run together last Sunday to Underwood ,
la. , barring , of course , the dust and head
wind. About thirty of them turned out.
The boys were well treated and well fed by
the people who Inhabit the hospitable little
town , and were escorted part of the way out
by the city brass band. Ever } body enjoyed
himself. Hope you will be with us again ,
Captain Moeller , and bring more of the bo > s
with you.

PEORIA , Mrty 30. To the Sporting Edltoi
of The Bee : Thinking the patrons of the
game might think that the team Is not do

bad form ever since we left home , both be
ing debilitated by continued severe colds
Shaffer was out of the game for five days
and Nattress has bein afflicted with the
charley horse nearly all the tlmo since IK
joined us. Then Pace received a split hum ]
a few days ago and will not be able to plaj
for ten days. So you can see under what
"
disadvantages we have had to work. Ulrlch
Is playing a beautiful short , Slaglo a great
middle and Lehman IH throwing better thar
any man I ever saw. Hutchison Is the besl
man on the team at the bat , as most of tht
grounds are large and they give him c
chance to show what ho can do. He Is alsc
playing a good fielding game. Eagan U
pitching winning ball and will get better ant
better.
Outfielder Sets of Jacksonville had a let
broken In a game with us.
Manager Brackett of Qulncy Is a very slcl
man.
Rockford has been strengthened by Secant

The Oninhas wl 1 rfVuri Monday evening ,
and on Tuesday nfterlfobn meet the DCS ,
Mo.ncs team for ttio first time this season I
on the local grounds. I'.ie present eastern i
trip of the Howe family has not bse.ii ns ,
satisfactory as it might have been , but an i
explanation will possibly be found In a perJ J
conal letter from Manager McVlttle , publ shed i
e.stv. litro in this department. When the
Omaha team left hero two weeks ago It
kokcd an If It was about tito stoutest aggrci i
gatlon In the outfit. The pitchers vvcro all
In good form and It was illlllcult to ECO who-
there was who could beat us. But base ball
Is very uncertain , OB has probably been ob
served , and up to Friday evening lite best
Omaha had been enabled to do was to break
even , having won six , and lost six games ,
and tt she can take two out of the present
cries over at DCS Molnes the fans will be
i ell satisfied. Even as It stands Omaha has
one far better than any one of the other
iVcstern teams. St. Joe has won two games ,
Des Mclnes three and Lincoln five , that Is , up
o Friday night. The Impression that the
western end of the association outcla'sc 1 the
lastern lias been rudely but effectively dis
elled. I'eorU Is playing championship ball
and both Hockford and CJulncy are rapidly
getting In form , with renewed stimulus In
he way of new players , and on their next
Islt hero much better ball than they
pave us the first trip can be sangulnely ex
pected. Jacksonville also Is making an ef-
ort at strengthening , but as yet has not
been able to catch onto as desirable players
as the other teams. It Is to bo hoped that
ho Ja\ , too , will bo fortunate enough to re-
nforco themselves before again starting
west , for if they arc not It Is feared they
ill not last long.
Whoever was guilty of concocting the
Western association schedule should be
stuffed and sold to the National museum as
a rare curio. Omaha , for Instance , docs not
go east again until September , when she
makes two trips. In the meantime the east
ern clubs come west twice in rapid succes
sion , and the rest of the time Is put In by
ho western teams In games between them
selves. It will be to Lincoln and St. Joe ,
then to DCS Molnes , then back to Lincoln
and St. Joe and so on and on for tha
Omaha team for the next three months. In
the interim It will be hard here for the fans
o remember that there are such places as
Rockford , Qulncy , Pcorla and Jacksonville.
St. Joe has released Bmmerke.
Ulrlch seems to be the best player In the
Omaha team.
The St. Joseph team Is" badly crippled , so
the manager claims. _ ,
1)111 Krclg is bitting the ball hard and
often for Hockford. j j -
St. Joseph 1ms secured Bobby McIIalc of
Sacramento , Cal. , to .pitch.
Lincoln is trying to sign McKlbben , third
baseman of the Des Molnes.
Xcls made seven errors In one game nt
third base for Jacksonville recently.
Qulncy and St. Joe have been swapping
players. In the deal Qulncy got big George
McVcy.
Cy. Duryea , foimerly of Cincinnati , Is one
of the star twlrlers in the Eastern league
this season.
Qulncy was often Joe Walsh , but they
only wanted to give him cigarette money
and he wouldn't go. ' -
Qulncy has secured P/tcher / Abbey , with
Omaha last season. He will be the star

Tommy White , who has been playing with
Indianapolis , has signed with Jacksonville ,
of the Western association.
Manager Drackett of Qulncy , III. , would
like to hear from a pitcher , a first baseman
a short stop and on outfielder.
Nolan , Hartcr and Veach have Joined the
St. Joe team and now the St. Joe team
might just as well go and jump In the river
Marcum was fined $5 for throwing the bal
over the fence and had to pay for the ball
Ho said he threw It away because It was a

In the sixth Inning of a recent Western as
sociation game the first nine men at the bat
for Des Molnes made a hit apiece , and sev

Manager TraOley had a diamond pin
stolen from him enroute from Hockford to
Peorla. Traff Is like the actress , who , when
she gets about TrafT's age , has to advertise
Qulncy wasn't doing business when It

for twenty-eight hits yesterday. Qulncy

The impression got abroad that Umpire
Snider was presented with $50 In gold here
Oh , no. It was Catcher Snyder. When an
umpire Is presented with gold In Hockfon
they will be having Maypole dances In Green
land. Rockford Star.
S. Joe has released Pitcher Jerry Eddln-
ger , his work not coming up to the manage
ment's standard. They are making many
changes down there. Barnes of Lafayette
Intl. , has bwn signed to play third and
new outfielder secured In the person o
Deveraux.
llockford Republican : A rumor was afloa
on the street last night to the effect tha
Manager Nlcol had sold the services of Fred
Underwood to the Chicago club for $800
In the absence of more definite Information
It may bo paid that this is highly Improba
ble and Is not generally believed.
Twlneham , lately released by St. Louis
has caught on In great etyle In Detroit. 1
Is generally the case where a man Is taken
from a minor league Into the big one , does
not prove fast enough for the latter , and Is
allowed to return to his first love , that he
goss In and plajs a game that Is "out o :

Manager Ebrlght of the Lincoln team has
entered a protest against the giving of Tues
day's game to Peorla because of his team's
non-appearance. He places his protest on
the ground that the team moved in accord
unco with Instructions from Secretary Hlckey
of the association.

can pitch , catch , play tbo Infield and out
field , and has done all .these for the loca
team. In Sunday's game he got one single
a double and a home run And last yea
he was an amateur , warbles the Rockford
Star.
Klmerer , the youngster picked up by Lin
coin , is proving a great find. He Is taking
his regular turn In tile box and winning th
majority of the games pitched. He has n
especial speed or curves , but a good com
blnatlon of both , with good control , and ex
hlblts wonderful coolneaa In the box. He 1
a graduate of Lincoln amateur circles.
Andrews joined the Dta Molnes club Tues
day at Rockford. His previous practice In
the box had been somewhat limited , but h
was touched but for four hits during th
three Innlgs he pitched. A timely three
bagger by him gave Dei Molnes three of he
runs on that day , and his ability as a
sprinter was very favorably spoken of by
the Rockford papers , as was also the fleldlni
of his position.
And now It la the western clubs who ar
howling about the umpire. St. Joe was th
first to register a kick , claiming an out
right robbery of a victory at Peorla by
Umpire McKemp. And now Lincoln claim
that they lost the game hero Tuesday by a
rank dec slon of the umpire. Had the de
clslon been In theli favor It would have been
all right , but Bucjc Kbrlght didn't want t

ess to say it will be unsuccessful. They
offered the trading of two men for him or
to pay cash outright , but "Traf" put on
ils ear muffs and would not listen. He
wishes it given out good and strong that none
absolutely none of the DCS Molnes players
are for sale , although from the numerous

lie had publicly advertised for bids.
Flashes from the Rockford Star : The
Omahas were In luck to get two games here.
And Dave Rowe thinks so , too. The MornIng -
Ing Star said to keep your cyo on the
Peorlas. They're climbing , sure 'miff. Un
derwood has made the longest hit on the
homo ground to date , and Shaffer the great
est catch. Your good looklug friend , Inks ,
was right In It with the stick Sunday. Ho
made four hits , one n home run. Catcher
Lehman , Judging from his work here , will
not hold the place In the averages that his
name Indicates. The crowd Sunday made
llfo miserable for $300 Darby , as they called
him. He was pie and shortcake for our
hitters. The Rockfords are certainly a
dandy lot of batters. A pitcher starts In
against them with his Adams apple feeling
like a canteloupe. Pitcher WhltehlU's con
tract with Detroit exempts him from playIng -
Ing on Sundays. He is a strict Sabbatarian ,
and does not even attend the Sunday games
as a spectator.
Manager Nlcol , according to the Rockford
Morning Star , left town Sunday evening ,
bound for Indianapolis and Cincinnati. A
good many people have been directing some
severe criticisms against NIc which he has
not deserved. He was not In the least to
blame for the non-arrival of his pitchers.
Dillon and Dolan accepted advance money ,
and It was no small sum , either. Dillon took
his time about coming , and after Dolan
wired that he would leave Immediately for
Rockford , nothing more van heard of him.
Pitcher Horton of Terre Haute has also ac
cepted advance money , and is expected here
today. Manager Nlcol's present trip Is evi
dence of his Intention to give Rockford a
good team. He will find Dolan If he Is on
earth , and either bring him to Rockford or
land him In jail. He will probably sign one
or two new men. In and outfielders. He Is
very well satisfied with the team as It stands
and contemplates no changes , but Intends to
have a couple of good men to use In case of
an emergency. He may also return with
a pitcher of national reputation , and the
cranks should not holler just yet.
Yesterday about noon the wagon of the
American Express company stopped In front
of the Tremont house , and the driver called
out In a loud \olce "Is Kid Spcer hero ? "
says the Qulncy Whig. Several of the
Lincoln club were sitting In front of the
hotel , but Speer was not there , and the
driver delivered the package to HI Lattln ,
the clerk. The package consisted of a
small ball , bat and n box , and , of course , the
members of the Lincoln club present knew
that Speer's chums In Lincoln had sent the
package , which was labeled "Kindergarten
Speer. " The members of the club patiently
awaited the arrival of Kid Speer and then
crowded around him to see what was In
the box. When opened a small catching
glove and a pair of spectacles were found
In the box. The bat and spectacles were
probably sent to Speer to remind him of
the fact that he has been doing some very
weak batting of late , and the- spectacles
were Intended to assist him In seeing the
ball when It was crossing the plate. Kid
Speer didn't know whether to get mad or
laugh , but when the other Llncolnltes EIVO
him the laugh ho joined them.
Paddy Miles joined the team at DCS Molnes
yesterday and Pace returned home ,
