Manager Comiskey, of the St. Paul base ball >iul>. sn nt his Christmas with liis wife and nieces v? guests of his father, ex-Aid. John Comiskey, in Chi cago. Gossip says that there Is a chance that the Saintly City manager will go down to St. Louis before hia return, with a view to coquetting with Yon der Ahe in connection with the management of the Mound City tram. it is generally understood that the- Teuton, !••■ manager, has not made any I money in recent years, and it is also whispered that he looks favorably on ; the four-time pennant winner and j would re-engage him if they could get t( gether on terms. Comiskey has been interviewed by a Chicago paper relative to the alleged possibility of his buying Yon der Ahe out. Mr gays: "] would willingly be a bidder for that lihnii were ii nnt for the fact that it would take a small fortune to get it. I know that ; Yon der Ahe offered to Bell for $WO.iW and no j less, lie was offered at our time $50,000 by a | Cincinnati man, but declined it. because lie j said It was then worth |75,C00. It ha.s become more valuable since then, because the game \ is on a better footing. No. I do not ihlnk Yon ; dor \h.- will be lost to the game; for some ! time tn come. SL Louis Is a great base ball town, and 'Chris' ' franchise is worth nearly j as much as the price ho seta on it." Meantime, A. K. Antisdel, of Grand | Rapids, announce? in a special tele gram to a Chicago paper that the West tin league committee accepted his proposition if he will carry out the promises he made them. He says: 1 told Hsu Johnson and the rest of them I was backed by a stcck company of reputable business men here, who will guarantee sup port for the team. We arc- going to put as } good a nine in the circuit us can be got to gether. Moreover, we arc going to Rive bonds tli v we will Btick. Among our plans i.s one which I think is brand new. We intend to dispose of 500 season books to the games at a reasonable cost. These will be transferable, i t<iid will certainly meet with a ready sale. I The disposal of these will insure financial suc cess. The Block company is to be called the Grand ttapids Base Ball association, and is to be in- j corporate d with a paid-up capital of JM.Ofio. | Among the leaders in the enterprise are A. | May 11. W. Beecher, ii. J. Reynolds, C. J. I Reed, G. E. Heath and myself. We are now ■ looking fir grounds. We have no players yet, i but we have the money to buy them, and we will hn\e the best in the market too. Th<- Chicago Chronicle says that President Ban Johnson admits that the j location of the eighth c-lub is practi cally determined upon. Al Spalding, who reached Chicago Saturday, on hi* return, sizes up the Anson situation thus succinctly: Neither President Hart nor I have any idea what Ai?on will do after his contract expires Jan. 30. \\<- have not ipproached Anson at all in the vi itter, oor ha.s he approached us. President Hart and I have positively reach ed no decision in the matter whatever. We will have no conference and will decide nothing till after Jan. 1. My trip to Europe with Capt. Anson had not \ a bit of bearing on the ba.se ball question. I deny that I am barking a scheme to in duce Auson t<i uo to Louis. Aukdm, so far as I know, has made no at tempts id mi to Pf. Louis <;r anywhere c Ise. Mr. Uarr, Mr. Anson and myself are on the beat of terms. We have had no disagreement of any kind, for there has been absolutely no occasion for one. HIT BY THE DRAFT. llntr "in- Western Leogiie Mamls ut iUv Year's Close. Now that the onslaughts of the Na tional league draft have ceased West ern league managers are beginning to concern themselves as to the shape their teams will take in 1898. There ia likely to be considerable change in (he make-up. The clubs of high rank have been stripped of their stand-bys and the inferior clubs are glad to dispense with a discredited lot. says the. Chicago Record. Indianapolis and St. Paul naturally suffered most severely from the draft, just as Minneapolis did last year. In dianapolis has lost Stewart, Gray and McCarthy to Pittsburg; Goar, McFar land and Catcher Wood to Cincinnati, About the only attempt so far made to compensate for the loss of these pen nant-winners has been the securing of !?.>!« Allen as manager, which certainly involves liis playing an infield position on the team. Indianapolis is doubtless counting considerably on pulling back some of its drafted men as soon a-s a little early season experimenting has been done in the big league. Comiskey's St. t';iul team has lost by sale Mcßride to Cincinnati, Isbel to ! Chicago and George to St. Louis— all ' crack men. Pitcher Phyle has been drafted by Philadelphia. Besides these' losses from the 1897 aggregation Com iskey has also failed to hold Scott and Slagel, whom he secured from the em- j barrassed Grand Rapids team. Scott has been subjected to draft by Pitts burg an.d Kansas City's prior claim to Slagel lias been allowed. Besides his Grand P.ajiids purchase, which also in cluded Ciiiiith and Twine.ham, the St Paul manager has done little so far to strengthen his weakened team. Several changes are in sight in the ranks of Minneapolis, one season a pennant-winner and the next a second rater. t •archer Boyle, disposed of to Plttsburg, l;as been the only man sold outright, but Kustace and Roat were traded during the recent league meet ing for Canipau o.' Grand Rapids. Schmelz, the Did Washingtonian, who has taken hold of the team, is hu'st'ing after n< \v players and has already ,-e --cured several, mostly from the East, among his hopefuls being Hanna. a promising man for second base; Rice for shortstop, Yale for first base, and o youngster named Walsh. Rcilly will probably be secured from 'Washington to cover third base, and there H a like lihood that Perry Werden will be ob tained from Louisville, since First Baseman Cary has been bought by the Colon; Is from the Atlantic league. Milwaukee's outfit has suffered few changes. Stafford and Lewee 1 have bee, i drafted by Louisville, but it is probable that they will not be required. H( hoch, the old utility man, who has lately been bundled from Brooklyn to St. Louis, has been passed on to the Brewers, and will be n source of con- Biderable Hi rength. Kansas City will present a recon structed team, and neec's to in order to figure prominently in the chase for pennant honors. Manning will have on first i -.-■• Rothfuss, who startled the Pitis'.nr..-,: cranks for a time-last Eeason. Merriit. also best known as a Pitts bit: h'T. is arnoug his catchers.

Detroit was not badly dealt with by the drafters, although Sfceinfeldt and Hahn were taken by Cincinnati. Van derbeck is now looking about for young players. The chief losses Columbus ha.s suf fered are in Crooks, who goes to St. Louis, and Fisher, who is to play in Philadelphia. Mertes, too, may be wanted In Philadelphia, which has a string on him. There have been no other deals made by Loftus, although the transfer of Buckley and Butler for Heard and Trost. of Detroit, was re ported at the late league meeting. The eighth club, wherever it may be located, will be practically destitute of first-class players, as far as dependence is placed on "what is left of the old Grand Rapids band. Comiskey took four of the best, although he has suc cteded in holding only two, and Ganzel, the rising young first baseman, was drafted by Plttsburg. Lately Campau has been traded off for Eustace and Roat. WESTON'S BDBAB NOVEL,. Faults He I'imls With the Recent Six-Day Race. Edward Payson Weston, the veteran long distance walker, writ's to the New York Herald: The exhibition of the bicycle during the last week was entirely artificial. It was on an artificial track, especial ' ly prepared to make great speed and i the consequent destruction of the com- I petitors' brains, for they were forced to go one way— to the left always— \ thus using but one side of '.heir bodies, | and virtually carrying the other side, : which, in due time, becaius a useless ! burden. Then, again, the atmosphen; I was abominable, for they were forced to ride through clouds of smoke, ami not one breath of pure and invigor ating air was allowed to reach them. The bare fact of being forced to we always to the left is the greatest cruel ty; if any one doubts it let him walk thirty or fifty consecutive times around the table in an ordinary drawing room, I ?-nd he will then see the effect upon I his brain, and also may experience a i singular feeling in his stomach. To j an ordinary man, this bicycle track, said to be "nine laps to the mile," j would shrink to the si-^e of a drawing : ioorn table by the time he had whirled i himself around it two hundred miles, i at the rate of twenty miles an hour. The position the bicyclers maintain j during such contests congests the stomach and is ruinous to the digestive organs. They seemingly were govern ed by no system whatever, but were directed by their so-called trainers, who, instead of laying out a schedule or time table, when they should rest and how long, they each in turn tried to get the lead, and were driven be ! yotid their nntuval strength by trainers who dosed them with alcoholic stim ulants. I realize the fact that no one is capa ble of arguing the condition of any i man during a six days' test of physical I j endurance, except one who has himself engaged in such contests; and there- | fore I unhesitatingly say that had these competitors essayed their task in i the open air on ci mile track, and been allowed to change their course (going to ths right), say once in five mill s, and avoided the use of stimulants, they would not have been such hideous j looking wrecks as they arc now. The moment a competitor engaged in i any contest of physical endurance re sorts to the use of alcoholic stimulants he ceases to be natural, and they act upon him the same as a spur acts upon a horse, and force him to go be yond his strength. WRESTLER CtUIKWS RECORD, lit- Has Met v Numlier Store or Less Celebrated. J. C. Quinn. who recently signed articles for a wrestling 1 match with M. J. Dwyer, the athletic instructor, was THE I,\TEST CIIASMiESS BICYCLE. Novcltles In chainless bicycles nre not as plentiful as they were some time ago, but the accompanying out shows a new idea alto gether, iv that the pedals and gear are in direct connection with thn front wheol. It has been but recently patented, and was constructed by a resident of Bayonne, N. J. The crank axis is surrounded by a double set of ball races, one for the ball cups of the hub. tho cones of which form on the ex terior part the cups for -axle cones. Con nected with one crank axle is a spur gear wheel, which engages a smaller gear wheel, placed ou the outside of the fork. This again is Tonnected by a short stem or shaft to a Sear wheel on the ir.sida of the fork, which in turn meshes with a gear fastened to the hub.

He participated In a num- I l>er of Cornish tourneys in which sixty- I four men weighed in, coming out first | and second. These were mostly in the : mining districts of the West. His first I match of note was with Greek George ! at Baltimore, in. September, '89, a three j hours' draw at Graeco Roman style. A month later he defeated the Greek ! in two Btraight falls at mixed styles. I He stayed fifteen minutes with Mul- I dcon at Graeco-Roman, and then at ! Hamilton defeated Dan Gibson. He j met Charles Richards at Elmira, N. T., and after seventy-six minutes of hard work, Richards quit. Quinn beat Jack , Comstock at Roehes-ter two falls in ! three, catch-as-catch-can.

In Hie Annual Game Hie Riiiks Skipped l>y tlie Former Win Eiutily. The season of snow and ice is on in deadly earnest, and the patrons of "the roarin' game" are vleing with the thermometer for points in their efforts to establish a record. "In turn!" "Out turn!" "Soop 'er up!" are the hollow ora"eular cries emanating from the long building on the island below the Wa basha street bridge from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until 11 at night. Thy St. Paul Curling club has put on its paint and plumes and there will be '"a hot time in the old town" when the j-vladiators of the frozen arena meet upon the fateful fieid on the 17th of noxt month. That is the day set for the com mencement of the annual bonspiel of the Northwest Curling association, which is to be held this year under the auspices of the St. Paul Curling club. At least sixty rinks will attend, about one-half of them from Canada. One of the chief events of the 'speil will bs the contest for the International tro phy, presented by Hiram Walker & Sons, of Walker ville, Ont, which will bo played for by an equal number of Canadian and United States rinks, the winning side to play down for the pos session of the trophy for the year. Among other important matches will be the veterans' (for players over fifty years of age), and those for the St. Paul Jobbers' union and Duluth Job bers' union trophies. L. C. Hoffman is having a special medal made for presentation to the club, besides four individual medala, one for each member of the winning" rink. He will probably send a full rink from his establishment to compete for these trophies. A match of considerable interest will be that between the crack rinks of the Twin Cities. The St. Paul Curling club has been enlarged by about twenty-five or thirty new members this season, mostly from the White Bear Yacht club and the St. Paul Rowing club. There is every en couragement, in the value and number of the prizes to be played for at the bonspiel, for the new members to p.et down to hard practice and try to divide the honors with the old timers. The Saintly City champions have earned the credit of getting their share of the good things going in the past, and there is enough Scotch about them to make it certain they will not surrender their reputation this year. President D. C. Murray, of the club, has been slightly under the weather, but he is getting on his armor and will, no doubt, he weil over the "hog" line when the bonspiel open 3on the 17th. The club held a general meeting Thursday night to arrange about the tions of the hub, consequently the driving j wheel, aro multiplied in proportion to the number of tFc-th of the outside gear wheels, i which would bp, in a 70 gear, for instance, i two times and a half. In this mechanism the change of gear can j readily be effected by simply replacing the outside gear wheels by others in relatively j different proportions. The advantages of this wheel are light ! weight, without impairing strength, on ac- j count of little material required: shortest i possible wheel base (29 inch); facility. v£ | transportation (can be packed in space 29 by G6 inches);" ready change of gear; a more practical way of applying gear case to ex clude dust; avoidance of lost motion, and, therefore, no loss of power; easier running and hill climbing, and inexpansive cost of manufacture. reception to the visiting rinks and other details. THE PRESIDENTS WON. Some time tomorrow Vice President C. H. I Taylor will have the pleasure of purchasing ' and presenting to the King's Daughters a i half barrel of the best fiour he can find in | St. Paul, to tie distributed among the worthy poor as far as it will go. This pleasure or ! penalty, is the result of his having allowed President I>. C. Hurray and his loyal host of curlers to defeat him and his following in tho annual contest between the two officers of | the club yesterday on Raspberry ls'.and. Four rinks played on each side, and" all the presi dent's rinks beat their opponents save "Mil" Griggs' rink, which put it all over the pres ident's rink, skipped by Judge Cory, by scor ing 14 to 7. The president and vica president both skipped quartettes against each other, President Murray winning, 14 to 10.

IN ANY EVENT, THE ENGLISHMAN COI'LD NOT H.WE THE CO.VTEST. MADISOX SQUARE WAS THRONGED. "Little W on der" Enrly Took tbe l.t-:i<l and Cut Out 11 Heart- Breaking; I'nce. NEW YORK. Dec. 25.— Jimmy Mich ael, of Wales, the recognized middle distance bicycle champion of this coun try, met Arthur A. Chaae, the middle distance champion of England tonight at Madison Square garden in a thirty mile race over a ten-lap broad track and won so easily, despite a bad spill, that the bicycle experts are guessing just how good the little "Rare Bit" is. Pluck, endurance, stamina and every other QUality that goes to establish the profession of grit seem to be em bodied in every inch of the Welshman. Nothing seems to tire him. --.-. . The building was thronged 'Posits ut most capacity when Michael, the mid get, and Chase, the Levithlah, jumped on their respective wheels for a few preliminary spins around the track, which measured one foot over the nec essary' distance to make it ten laps to the mile. At the turns the board track was "banked" as high as ten feet from the level of the bearded floor of the garden. It was announced that the winner would get 25 per cent of the gross re ceipts, and the loser's end would be 15 per cent. The managers of the show guaranteed that the winner would get $1,500 and the loser $1,000, but, judging from the crowded condition of the house, the amount of money which the "cracks" got was far fn excess of the guarantee. Both got on their marks at 10:15, and, before they mounted their respective Wheels, they shook hands. It was an nounced that, in case either man fell during the first four laps, the riders would be called and this precaution took effect in the lirst lap. Chase got tangled up with his leaders, after the race was started at 10:16 o'clock, and at the end of the lap the men were or dered back to the scratch mark. Chase won the toss and took the pole He started out at a rapid gait, but the little \\ elshman soon overtook him and at the end of the second mile was over a lap ahead. Michael gained another lap in the fourth mile and the spec tators olieered the "little wonder" vo ciferously. Michael was simply in vincible and at thf finish of the flfrh mile he gained another lap on his coun tryman. Both men picked up their tandems very cleverly. Michael kept up a heart-breaking pace and at the flnk-h of the seventh mile was five lung to the good. At the finish of the elev enth mile Michael spurted and sained another lap, which put him six laps aheud. In the fourteenth mile two of ?,Hrh ael's jraceis went over the bank, but were not seriously injured. In the nt-xt mile on the fourth lap, Michael ran hi^h upon the Madison avenue turn and both men fell in a heap, their pacers also taking a "cropper." Mich ael remounted his wheel and got an other lap to the good before Chase re covered himself. At the end of the sixteenth mile Michael was thirteen laps ahead. In the twenty-sixth mile Chase Ml heavily at the Fourth avenue turn and was unable to go on with the race. He ran into two tandem teams and was badly cut up. In the smash-up Chase's bicycle was broken. He borrowed Tay . lore's wheel, but had to leave the track. Had Chas-e been able to continue, how ever, he probably would have been beaten by about two miles, as Michael was almost that distance ahead of him when the accident occurred and was rapidly gaining.
