Thg last week has been rather
a
disastrous one for the chimplons, but every
team lias Its losing ntreaks. and there Is
do reason for discouragement In tho pres
ent outlook. In fact, the defeat adminis
tered the Colts by the I)e Moines t'iim
and later by tho Salnta have been of valuo
Jn that they have shawn the members of
the Kourko family the necessity of gllt
edgo playing nt nil times. A defeat uow
nnd then In considered a mighty good tonic
by nil base ball. managers In that It serves
to remove from the mlnda of the members
of a winning team an overronlldent feeling.
Ies Moines is the team now that will
have to bo reckoned with by the champions,

other than tho excellent ball which Is his

"There la a terrible hole In our club since
Captain O'Connell has been laid up," says
"W. II. Kent, tho local base ball enthusiast
nnd authority. "Not that Mackey Is not
playing a first class second, but tho team Is
without a head. Thcro Is where Jack
O'Connell shine.. Ho uses that hendpieco
of his at all times, and while we must glvo
Bill Hourko great credit for picking tho
team, we must also remember O'Connell Is
tho boy who Is responsible for every play
that comes off. Ho Is a hard worker and
kicks when he has ono coming. Ho leads tho
tram In batting, leads tho eecond basemen,
plays good, hard, honest ball at all times,
nnd his many friends will hope to tee him
back In tho gamo soon."
Thcro are yet many games to be played
In the big leagues, but tbo season has
progressed far enough to enable a line to
ho established on tho several teams, and
tho fond hopo entertained by many that the
National lcuguo pennant might como west
this year seems to havo been a hopeless one.

Tho "Howoll system" of play was tried
Wednesday night at tho regular meeting
of tho Omaha Whist club, but on account of
the plan being new to most of tho mem

were' played. Tho majority of tho mem
bers, however, consider It an improvement

The contest for tho ownership of tho
American Whist leiguo trophy has developed
Into a struggle between tho cast and west,
tho leaders being Minneapolis, Uxteon times
tho winner; Beaton, thirteen; BaltlmoTc,
eleven; Chicago Whist club, ten. The
present league trophy will rcurcely last
through another year, as twenty victories
give any club permanent possession of tbo
bauble. Tho Hamilton club of Philadelphia
captured the trophy four years ago by win
ning Its twenty victories almost con
secutively, nnd this year Minneapolis came
near duplicating the feat. Tho trophy will
remain until February in tho section of the
team winning It at tho July meet, so that
thero Is little danger of it ever leaving that
locality.
Tho eastern players apparently realize
this feature of tho bltuatlon and tome of
their strongest teams will enter this contest
at Niagara Falls. Tho western players, on
the contrary, aro centralizing their ambition
on tha Hamilton trophy and aro likely to
lose all hopo of tho Whist leaguo prlzo un
lets Its Importance is brought home to them.
It Is likely to bo a considerable time before
tbcro aro sixteen points to tbo good again
In favor of a western team. Omaha will
probably havo no organized representation
at Niagara, Inasmuch ae it was unablo to
summon sufficient energy to make a showing
at Chicago.
Tho following extract from an article by
Leonard Leigh Is full of good, sound whist
sense and It Is commended to all players
except beginners, who aro advised to In
variably follow tho old rules:
"Latter day whist practice and theory has
dlspcsed of a number of hoary maxims and
precepts which had attained to a venerable
old ago In the hands of former generations of
players. Among tnem is tne wen worn
adago that sudden death and having none
wore tho only ncceptablo excuses for not re-
turning partner's lead of trumps. Tho good
player today recognizes tho right of hla
vis-a-vis to exercise his Judgment in the
matter under conditions which often arise.
Wo lead trumps from weak holdings much
raoro frequently than our fathers did, and
when we do so we expect our partners to
use their discretion about continuing the
suit."
Tho following deal was played In the Min
neapolis pairs at the last congress by tho
team representing tbo Cicero Whist club
and the play of tho North hand Is excep
tionally fine.

American Wheelmen, booked at Milwaukee
for the week of Jdly 10, t going to be tho
event of the car In eycledom. Advance
notices nrc enthusiastic and fulsome with
pralso of tho plans to entertain the ex
pected thousands and no effort or cxpenre
will be spared to give visitors a taste of th.i
hospitality that makes Milwaukee famous.
There will be races for hot boys In the ex
position building, runs to nearby resorts,
smokers and things In public gntdens, excur
slcns on the lakes and other attractions not
down on tho bills.
At a recent meeting of the executive com- '
tulttee having charge of the national meet ;
it was decided to ndmlt all I.aague of Ameri
can Wheelmen members free of charge to tho
afternoon races. This Is a concession
which was nsver before accorded wheelmen'
attending the national meets and It Is ex- j
pected to materially Increase tho number of j
wheelmen who win visit .Milwaukee. as
all the seml-flnals of tho big events will be
run In the afternoons, some of the best and
most spirited racing will bo teen by the
league members without tho payment of
tho customary DO centa for a scat.
Specialists In neurotica at St. Paut are
much puzzled over the case of MIsa Klleu
Haven, an Iowa girl, who was brought to
that city for treatment of what appears to bo
a mild form of Insanity, which disappears
when she Is allowed to ride a bicycle. Miss
Haven has nil her life been of an athletic
tendency and for tho last fifteen years she
has lived on the farm of Paul Haven, her
brother, in Iowa. liarly In March one of
tho brother's children was caught by the
arm in a corn shcller, which resulted In ter
rible wounds. While one of tho elder
Haven boys went after the local doctor Miss
Haven Jumped on her bicycle nnd rodo to
Sioux City, a distance of twenty miles, to ob-
tnin tho bcrvlccs of a tlrst-clcss surgeon.
She covered the distance, over bill and dale.
in something under an hour, fainting upon
arrival at the doctor's office. When she
revived MIsa Haven appeared to be out of
her mind and since that time sho has been
nnn compos meutls, except when riding her
bicycle.
When about the house Miss Haven con
vcrr.es with no one. apparently takes Inter
est in nothing nnd Is exceedingly melan
choly. Sho responds to an Invitation to
ride a wheel with great alacrity. As soon
as tho wheels turn under her sho sighs
deeply, tho lines fade out of her faco and
sho becomes animated In conversation, ap
parently forgetting all about her previous
abstraction.
St. Taiil specialists In nervous diseases as
sert that the disease from which Miss Haven
la suffering Is an aggravated form of neu
rasthenia, brought on by tho nervous
exhaustion of her tcrrlflr ride after the doc
tor and the death of her nephew, despite
her efforts to save him.
They declare that tho case Is one for hyp
notic suggestion and havo urged that tho un
fortunate young woman be permitted to ride
a wheel as often as sho will, arguing that, as
sho Is sano whllo 'n the saddle and Insane
while out of It, tho logical thing to do is to
adopt the means nt hand of making her
lucid periods longer than the period of ab
erration. Hy this means they believe tho
disease will dlsalpatc Itself in tho course of
time.
As a result of tho steady agitation for
pood road3 which is being carried on by the
League of 'American Wheelmen both houses
of congress have made au additional ap
propriation of $6,000 to the road Inquiry de
partment nnd Hon. Martin Dodge, the new
director of this department, In a letter to
tho Leaguo of American Wheelmen Magazine
says tnat tms sum win permit oi no
division of the country Into four subdlstrlcts.
In each of which will b located a suitable
representative of the ofllce of road Inquiry.
Tho money will be avallablo after July 1, by
which tlrao tho several appointments will
have been made.
Germany's and America's exhibition of
cycle parts, accessories and tools aro really
smart and up-to-date, easily taking first
rank, says an Kngllsh writer dealing with
tho Paris exposition. It is to bo deplored, he
adds, that tho British cycle section docs not
mako a better show nnd that au attempt (s
not mado to compote with cur antagonists,
and to show tbo world, coming to Paris, that
Great Britain can btlll hold Its own. Cyclists
visiting the show will not derive this im
pression. British manufacturers beem to
bo occupied with other things at present
and It leads ono to wonder what this occupa
tion can bo. In no engineering section con
nected with cycles can anything bo found
Ehowing traces of a now development lu a
different direction.
"Thero goes a woman who knows how to
rldo a wheel," Bald an agent whoao stora
fronts a cycling thoroughfare. "You will
notice," ho continued, "that aha rides quito
easily and that from the waist up her bedy
doct not move. It la maintained always
directly over the center line of her bicycle;
that Is why tho front wheel runs straight
and does not swing from eldo to side ae you
notice It with to many women riders, and
oven with a great many men cyclists alao.
Neither does aho lunge forward with her
shoulders at each preteuro of the pedals."
Many rldera nre carelcsg In the matter of I
reatlng their machines against a wall. The
correct method obviates any scratching and
at the samo timo prevents tho machine
slipping away. Dy turning tho front wheol
slightly Inward, allowing the saddlo to rest
gently against tho wall, and also placltg
the back wheel so ag to rest clcao In, the
handlebar Is kept clear and the trick is
done. I
The veteran enthusiast who rides his
wheel to his place of business every clear
day says: "Those men who rllo to thoir
ofllces a-wheel do not always present a
picturesque figure. Trousers with clips
about tho ankles usually bulgo out about
the knees and mako a man awkward lock
ing. There Is not much to ho said In tav r
of tho ordinary strel band clip, for thi
trousers, though not coming looso at the
ankle, generally persist In bulg n about
