BOSTON, May 6.—After tielng a finely played game in the last half of the ninth inning, the Champions were defeated to day through the ability of the Brooklyns to hit Nichols In their half of the extra inning.

W«n from St. Thomas Yesterday In luteroollefflate Series. Hamline boat St. Thomas yesterday by a score of W to 7. making the fourth con secutive victory. The game was closely contested throughout and was featured by Johnson's great catch at second base, running far out In right field for the ball. Johnson and Taber had even honors in fielding-, but ihe former made a home run in the eighth, clearing the bases. Richardson pulled the boyß out of a blj hole, tho scoro being 7 to 1 up to the eighth inning. Conway, an ex-Dartmouth collegian, pitched well until that fatal eighth, when the Methodists jumped on him for two singles, three doubles, one triple and Judson's homer. The home run of BfcDermett clearing the bases was one of tho longest hits of the season. The first five innings were as pretty ball playing as one would care to see, no er rors, hits few and well scattered, but the remainder of the game was characterized by heavy slugging and stupid base run ning.

So, a Cyclist Insist*, la Her riace on a Tandem, "While no one has brought It to bear, the old wheeze, 'man came first and wom an after,' might well be injected into the discussion by those who maintain that woman's place on a tandem la the rear seat; by a slight stretch the wheeze might be used to show that that side of the ar gument has earth's history and nature's laws to prove their case," says the Bi cycle* World. The discussion Is again showing signs of strength. One of the woman-on-the rear-seat advocates has returned to tho subject in this wise, and really scores some strong points for "his side:" "In spite of all arguments which have been put forward in a mistaken, but well meant, effort to convert me to lady-front tandems, I am a firm believer In the fact that the rear seat position is the proper and most suitable one for the lady on -a 'mixed tandem,' and a week ago or so I had my opinion very fully substantiated. "With a northwest wind blowing, it was a bitterly cold day, and the sight of a 'mixed' tandem going past me, with the lady on the front seat, caused me to take note of the degree of enjoyment evinced by the fair sex. The lady on the tandem mentioned seemed to be thor oughly unhappy; her nose was blue, her cheeks were wind bitten, her skirts were flapping in the breeze, and she looked, ar.d no doubt felt, quite nipped up with the cold. The ill-mannered chap on the back seat was tucked away In the shelter of his partner, but his head was dodg ing first on one side and then on the other in order to enable him to see where he was steering the machine to. Alto gether they seemed an unhappy pair. The ladies on the singles were getting along slowly against the wind, and the majority of them looked slightly dishev elled, whereas, without an exception, the ladies on the rear seats of tandems seem ed to be thoroughly happy and comfort able. No trouble about the steering; snugly sheltered behind a pair of broad shoulders; no need to put their heads 'out of window' to see where they were sroing;. no disarrangement of the hair; no blue noses or cold hands, nothing but pure enjoyment. "There is no valid argument that I have yet heard in favor of placing the lady on the front seat. The principle of giving precedence to the lady does not apply, because there is always danger ahead of a tandem. No man, worthy of the name of man, would hold a lady in front of him if a fire engine or a motor car, or some other form of danger, were rushing down on the pair. "In the course of one's cycling experi ence one gets into a good many tight places; a cool head and a fine determina tion carry one through safely in the ma jority of instances, and the incidents then, lacking Importance, are forgotten. There is no lady of my acquaintance upon whose coolness and determination I should have cared to have relied in some of the tight places I have been in. So, like many another better man than myself, I believe that the rear seat af fords the most comfort and gives the least anxiety."

The St. Paul Rod and Gun club held a badge shoot yesterday afternoon at their grounds, Klttsondale, jyith fine weather conditions and a large attendance of members.

CLUBS ARE A FACTOR CYCLING ORGANI7,ATIONS " ARE WIDENING tiii: LOCAL IN TEREST IN WHEELING* GREAT DEMAND FOR WHEELS Denlera Aro by 'No Mcmix Able to Supply tbe DemandH Made I'pou —! liulrniHii - l-urinluy An noum-ci Hoii'l Recorda Schedule of- the Century Road Club of Aiutrlen. . . Never before in the history of wheeling has the bicycle dealer experienced as great a demand for whe^it> as during tne present season. The low price or high f.rade wheels this your mftkes 1* possible for every one to have a wheel, and those who can afford the luxury are discarding their last year.: makes and turn'njr them in for patterns of the vintage of 1899. With the lowering of the price o>: wheels the dealer's proilt suffers corr decrease, but he is not complal-i!n£ this year as the volume oi bu>>ine;->s lias ex ceeded that of any previous year Interest in all cycling matters is being given new impetus, and ail tho dub or ganizations of lha city :u\j prospering and planning *or •'«. season of continued activities. The cycle paths have bc«n rvf^iihnd and the Cycle Path association is mak ing preparations to build several new paths. St. Paul is justly proud of her cycle paths, and it can be said with assurance that no city in the West furnishes as many pretty drives and cosy retreats for the wheelmen in the woodlawn and meadow as the cycle path around St. Paul. • • • The result of the 1898 national mileage competition has been announced by Wal ter Faraday, chairman of the 1898 road records committee of the C. R. C. The following Minnesota wheelmen are cred ited with having ridden ten or more cen turies during the year: Allen B. Under wood, Minneapolis; W. P. Dixon, St. Paul; L. T. Lincoln, Minneapolis; James Mcllrath, St. Paul, and Mrs. W. L. Price, Minneapolis. • • • The Commercial cyclers held a run yes terday afternoon to the club house at Como. A series of runs have baen planned for Tuesday night and Saturday afternoon, and the entertainment com mittee is planning to give a number of balls and parties during the summer. * • • "Breezelets," the new club paper, ed ited by President F. B. Low, of the Lou rels, made its initial appearanca last week and is sparkling with bright sayings and wittisms. Mr. Low published the first number of the paper as a venture, and the board of directors of the club imme diately took it up and decided to make It the official organ of the club, and one of Its strong features. Mr. Low aims to make the paper a mirror of club life. • * * The Laurels held the first run of the season Friday night. A run was made to the river via Summit avenue, and on the return to the club house light re freshments and dancing- concluded the di version of the evening. * • ♦ The League of American Wheelmen at a meeting held last week decided to be gin an active crusade in the interst of an increased membership for the league during 1899. A bicycle and several other valuable prizes will be hung up for the "biker" who turns in the largest list cf new members. Last year the League work in Minne sota was somewhat neglected, and the increase of 500 in membership gained the year before was lost. It Is the aim of Vice Counsul F. L. Hoxie, who is acting until Mr. Ovitt's successor is elected next fall, to swell the list 1,500. • • • The first event under L. A. W. sanction that has thus far been planned will be a track meet at Lexington park Saturday afternoon, June 10, given by the North western Cycle company, of St. Paul and Minneapolis, and several hundred dollars in valuable prizes will be given away in the amateur and professional events. In order to insure a big attendance, the bleachers and all of the grand stand, ex cept a few of the front rows, will be thrown open to the public free. No ad mission will be charged to the grounds, but the riders who compete In the race* will pay the. usual entrance fee. The prizes for the meet "will consist, among others, of a Barnes tandem, a high-grade Columbia and a Luthy King, as firsts for amateur races, with came ras and numerous cycle rundrles for the other places. The professional prizes will be $35 or $50 for first pi ice, and propor tional amounts for the second and third places. Application has been made for a sanction for the meet, and everything will be run strictly under the league rules. The officials will be well known local wheelmen who have had previous experience and can be trusted by the rid ers. This meet will no doubt do much to re strain the local riders from leaving the league. It offers a better chance to win big prizes than any local track meet that has been arranged for several years out side of the state fair races. The meet la a tribute to the enterprise of the North western people, and will be heartily ap preciated by the Twin City wheelmen, who have been anxiously inquiring if any races were to be put on under L. A. W. rules. CYCLING CHAMPIONSHIP. •'/ ; National AmooiaUon Botard of Con - trol Adopts New Plan*. NEW YORK, May For the conduct of its 1899 championships the National Cycling association board of control has adopted plans which include several new features. In future the board of con trol will annually arrange a grand cir cuit, to begin on a date after July 4, and to end not later than Oct. 1, no circuit meet to take place on a holiday or a Sunday. In order to decide professional middle distance paced championships, all match races," before being advertised for the purpose, must be proposed to the board of control for approval. No event for the championship can be at a distance of less than fifteen miles, nor for more than fifty miles. Contestants In a cham pionship must all use one kind of pacing, either human or motor. Annually the board of control wi\l award the running of the National ama teur championships to the members of the National Cycling: association offering the greatest percentage of the gross receipt*. These events shall consist of a quarter, third, half, mile, two miles and five mile races, and the title of amateur champion shall be decided by a system of point scoring, five points to a winner, three to a second rider, two to a third and one to a fourth. Not more than five contestants shall be allowed to compete in any final championship. At the conclusion of the grand circuit a match, mile heats, best two in three, may be arranged by the board of con trol between the professional and ama teur short distance champions for a medal valued at $50. State, county and city championships, for both professionals and amateurs, may be awarded by the members of the board of control in the respective districts, and no such championships will receive rec ognition unless awarded by the board of its representatives. Football Meeting. The St. Paul Football club will hold Its annual meeting at the Windsor hotel Monday evening. The election of officers Cor, the coming year will take place. 1 WERE BIGGER BARGAINS EVER GIVEN I Siil ,t^ al^ r;u ail-I barain offering-s? The £o early.

At the time there were, two deputy sher iffs in the room, with-orders to shoot the first of the pugilists who attempted to start trouble. Fitz's action was calcu lated to bring on a row. Friends stepped in and hustled Corbett ou. That is what Fitz did With Timothy Dry Dollar Sulli van. Intimated that the.New Yorker had "wheels," and now he-.-is reaping the re ward of his folly. -. MAT GO TO'DENVKR. There Is a possibility that the blsr fight will now be transferred to Denver. Otto Floto. who at one time looked after the Interests of Jack McAullffo, is managing the new athletic club at Denver, and he has wired an offer of a purse of 125,000, which will likely be accepted by Fltzslm mons and Jeffries. That is about all that Is left for the gladiators, unless they go to Carson City, whioh placo has also put in a bid. Denver has the call, owing to the distance from the center of the country occupied by Carson. New York was naturally preferable, lor there the crowd would have been so great as to make the fight a fortune winner. Denver will do well enough, at that. There is a new state law in Colorado which legalizes boxing, and the men can- settle their dif ferences without fear of interference. But there will be less on the side for Billy Brady and Martin Julian. JEFFRIES GROWS CONFIDENT. ;■ And now Jeffries says he will certainly defeat Fitzsimmons. Just how he will do It he does : not Fay, but that he will be the winner he"; openly declares. Jeffries says that he is the bigger man the two, that he fully appreciates the prbw.ess of Fitzsimmons, but that 1-lie? la tomewhat of a fighter himself, and has no doubt of the result of their n'ieetfti^r. f'ltz bays' noth ing. That is what he" r6!f6uld" have done with Sullivan ; and O'Rcrtirke; Both men' are in rigid training $nbw, and reported to be fit for the fray. D&fH'te "the weaken ing of some of the wl^fr'onas down East, I canont figure how a "man who could not \ defeat Bob Armstrong iriten rounds, who failed to stop Ruhlin'lrt* twenty rounds, and who j werit:; full twenty: rounds with Sharkey, hopes to ;d6¥eat a man 17 whose longest battle lasted ftfurfeon rounds, and who has met all the'fa'mous fighters of the " world without sustaining^ defeat.*;Tho unexpected often happens, and that is what : will - happen VshouldS Jeffries ] defeat ! Fit2simmons. * ' s>»f3 ,i<-.: '•■<_■»;:. ■ V , '■ v -.Vf WHAT bSATS. : ;; ~*\ ': Tommy Ryan is working with Jeffries, and the famous welterweight contends that Jeffries is a good one. He says he expects Jeffries to defeat Fltzslmmons. This Is all well enough as it goes, but that is what Tonsolitis Thomas is being paid to say just now. He gets so much per for it. Ryan says that Jeffries is not alone a giant, but that he is as unlike Corbett In action as is the night unlike the day. And Tommy means to convey the idea that Jeffries ..is the cooler and better man of the two.. There are a great many well known followers of the game who are speaking favorably of the Cali fornia giant. Jeffries may spring a sur prise on the public. Stranger things have happened, but until he does I cannot fig ure why he should win with Fitz. SMITH AND RYAN. "Mysterious" William Smith, who Is presumed to hail from classic Boston, Is to take on Tommy Ryan for a twenty roundbout, provided some club is willing to pay for the entertainment, and there are several which have expressed a de sire to give the great welters from $2,000 upward for the affair. Ryan is popular in St. Louis, and as that city has offered a purse he is in favor of going there. Then In steps the Lenox Athletic club, of New York, and outbids the St. Loulsans. It is probable that the battle will be con tested before some Eastern club. It will be worth going a distance to see. Ryan and Smith have met before—numerously, it might be said. Ryan has had the bet ter of the argument, but Smith haa al ways given the Young-Man-Afrald-of- Tonsilitis a run for his money. Ryan has grown better, while Smith has gona back a bit. Ryan should win. CREEDON GRINNED. There Is an amusing story going the rounds in connection with the recent bat tle between Dan Creedon and Joe Wal cott. It is to the effect that Dan grinned at the Barbados wonder when he faced him In the ring and Walcott did not like it. He therefore went right after Cree don and sent him to dreamland In a little less than two minutes. Walcott 1b a rough customer at best. It is tha height of folly to anger him. Dan should not have grinned. By the way, Creedon has another battle on. He will meet George Green, In Denver, in tho near future. Creedon is going the way of all pugilists, as the years glide by, but if he cannot defeat Green he had better quit the ring. Green Is not in Creedon's class. GARDNER COMING. The most likely boxer among the little men today is Oscar Gardner, erstwhile of St. Paul. Gardner is a wonder, and may yet take and fill the place vacated by George Dlxon. Gardner was ever a fighter. There is nothing fancy about his work. He is of the real school. The man who bests him knows h« has been to a fight. Gardner Is the busiest of the fighters. He has fought more battles in his time than any of them. He is ever ready for a go, and does not quibble at weight. AN UGLY RUMOR. There Is an ugly story afloat to tho ef fect that Fitzslmmons and Jeffries may not meet anywhere. It is said that Fitz is not even training for the affair. That may or may not be true. Similar yarn 3 are invariably circulated Just before a big battle of that sort, and there Is prob ably no more truth in this one than in the average. It would be a hard blow to the game should the big fight be de clared off at the eleventh hour. —Willie Green. HARRY li.

"A rooter who will weaken in his alle giance to a team In the first week of a championship race," says Manager Ban croft, "is like a race track patron who tears up his ticket because his horas is last at the eighth pole in a mi!e race. A great many things may happen be tween now and next October." Stalllngs has been drilling his men on the hit-and-run system of playing and Is meeting with fair success. Tebeau's St. Louis crowd is already get ting roundly censured for quarrelsomo playing. Elsey. the outfielder, who has boon training with the Blues, will probably be given a trial by Minneapolis.
