It seems that while In town one day back In the 70's he happened to exhibit a pocket pistol In a crowd of loafers about the court house square. It was an old-fashioned Sharpe's four-tar-relcd of twenty-two caliber, the clum siest, ugliest and most inaccurate ma chine ever devised by man, and, of course, they gave him the big laugh. "Oh. well." he said, picking up an empty beer bottle, which happened to be Ileu xich's, "just wait till you see what it can do." "Bet you don't hit It In fifty s'lots " a. bystander jelled. "Hit it! he rep'Ied. "I am going to shot down the neck and bore a hole' through the bottom without breaking it."

From several .hap penings of the past week there are Indi cations that Thomas J. Keenan will have opposition In hla candidacy for the presi dency of the League of American Wheel men. As already forecasted. It Is believed that his opponent will -bo Conway W. Sams, chief consul of Marylarid. . and chairman of the national rights and privileges committee. Thp mo.emcnt In behalf of Sams Is scarcely-hinder way at the present time, but It has been suffl clently Inaugurated to warrant the state, ment that he is In the Meld for the, office. His friends nre quietly fecllpg the situa tion now, and If they find he has a right ing chance they will announce their be lief that he should be the next president.. It Is said that If Sams Is a candidate he will have the support of President, Pot ter, and this seems very reasonable, as as he has been one- of the leading lieu tenants of Potter for several years, and in that capacity has rated mv one ol, the sshrendest politicians in the league. He has learned much, too, from his astute New York friend, nnd his connection with the national committee has given him a wide insight into the workings Of the or ganization. He Is a, lawyer by profession and Is rated as one of the leading mem bers of the bar in his home city of Bal timore. A Clone 121cctlfin. Ills connections In the league have been of such a character that ho has not been brought Into any of the partisan dis cussions which have all but disrupted tho organization, and he numbers among his friends men who have taken both sides In' past differences of opinion. In this ho is like Keenan neither has any avowed ene mies in, the list of delegates and for that reason the election would be based more than ever before on the relative merits of the two candidates. Tho friends of Sams say that should he become a candidate no partisan feeling will bo allowed to enter tho contest. In so far as they are concern ed. It is their desire to have a friendly election In every sense, appealing to 'Ihe delegates for suffrage only from the rec ords of the men, and when the votes are counted to be among the first to congrat ulate the successful candidate and help him make his administration a sticces. it this can be done. It will be of the great est benefit to the league, for tho elections of the past "v years liave been conduct .i tin. mnt liltterlv nartlsan lines. and when The assembly adjourned there-f were many hard feelings taken nome wun the defeated delegate". This resulted. In a great measure. In disorganization when organization was most needed, and the administration has alwajs had to fight against those who opposed It In the election. Tho idea of making this a peaceable election may jet prove to be a dream only, but members of the league who are not classed with the leaders hope it will not bs so. What the league needs at the present time more than anything else U a fr.endly election and a determination on both sides to assist the administration. If it gets thU It will regain its membership, but If not It will be but a repctlt'on of the past five years of Inharmonious wrangling. Krrnaii'n I.'rlenil ITnilliitnrbcd. While the candidacy of Sims Is expect ed bv the friends of Keenan they are go ing ahead with their plans unconcernelly and fully expect to land him a winner. There are, however, two evidences of dis cord which mado their appearance during the week. Tho first was in tho case of George D. Locke, of Illlnqls, who wants to be second vice president. Somo of tho members of the Keenan combination ob ject to his name being Used in that con nection because of the debt tho Illinois division owei the national treasury. They argue that if he was elected to the position he wants he would be one of the three members of the national executive committee, and as such would hae too much to say regarding that Illinois Indebt edness. The other cause of friction In the combination Is said to have arisen In con nection with the treasurership. It was said that the position was offered a far Western State and was practically accept ed as one of the combination ticket. Later the party to whom it was promised heard that the combination is leaning toward Tattersali, of New Jersey. As a matter of fact. It Is thought by the practical poli ticians of the league that the ticket out lined at first by the Westerners would not go through, as it was too much Western, the East not getting anything In the line of offices. Xow a compromise Is suggest ed, so that the presidency will go to Penn sylvania, the first vice presidency to Indi ana, the second vice presidency to Massa chusetts and the treasurership to Nebras ka. This would be much better from a .political point of view, as it gives repre sentation to all tne sections. A Close nieetlon. While It Is too early to cons'der the probable make-up of the Sams ticket, since his candidacy has' not been definite ly announced. It would not be astonish ing If the first vice presidency on It would go to Wisconsin, the second vies presidency to New Hampshire and the treasurership to Nebraska. Tho Sams adherents expect to get the full vote of New England (with the exception ci Massachusetts), New York. Virginia, "West Virginia, Maryland, "Kentucky. Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Lvra and Colorado, which would be enough to win. The Kenan managers say that sev eral of these States will surely b3 In the Keenan column and laugh at the Idea of their being otherwise. A careful forecast of the situation from a conservative point shows that neither side would have enough votea to win at the present time and that if Sams bj come a candidate he will have a vcte almost equal to Keenan's. the result be ing In a- few doubtful States which may' be swung one way or the other. If this Is true, and it seems to be, and if the election can be conducted on a friendly basis it will be the most Interesting con test the league has ever hud. It will prove a task worthy of the best politicians in tho league, and no better are to be found in any organization. It has often beer, -said by disinterested par lies wno are c&imbie of Judging that the pro moted as to be equal to those found any- wnere. The men wno have made this rep utation for tho league are among the brightest in the country, and with a fair, square chariee to show their ability the next election should be a further reve lation of their ability to capably manage a political campaign. "When it Is over both sides will have reason to know there has been a contest. The Xcxt National -Meet. Early next month the executive com--mlttee of the Ceaguo of American Wheel men will hold a mall election -to decide whether the next national meet shall be held In Boston or Buffalo. Both cities have Invited the league to meet In their respective cities next summer, and both are making personal appeals to the dele- gates for their voles. 'Pamphlets and other literature BhowTOIPthe respective merits of. tho cities haye;.been circulated, and representatives have visited the larger divisions seeking their support. This endeavor to sjrure the honor of entertaining trio league next summer has been going on for over a year. At first Buffalo .had decidedly tho best of It, but recent deVelop'men'tsliavo- placed" that city in almost a hopeless position. The lead ers of the" city In cycling circles have more than once shown their sympathy with the outlaw movement of the racing men, because tho leaders In tho move ment came from that c!yand. again, Buffalo has lost a large iPToportlon of Its league membership durjog the past year. On the other hand. Boston has steadfast ly stood by the league and has Increased Its membership. On this showing tho Boston workers expect to get the meet, and from present Indications they wilt re ceive almost the unanimous support of tho delegates. Acting upon the presump tion fhat It Is already nettled In its favor, Boston maklus preparations for the af fair.

It promises to be ono of the greatest athletic events of recent years and will probably bring together a' greater array of cracks In tho various lines of compe tition, than.havcmade entry In one single event In tho past four years at least. It will be a great event not only for the athletes, but for tbq lovers of amateur sport and as lc wllj" have entrants from all overthe country It will do much to revlvo iin Interest In Indoor comnetitlons.- J:The West will be'represented bya'team which will Include nearly all the cracks from Chicago'-who last summer came East to try conclusions at Travcrs Island with thiTNcw York A'thletlc Club. There Will be a team from New 'Orleans and possibly ono from the Pacific coast. Tho affair will be, somewhat In-the. na ture of a celebration over the amalgama tion .of the two clubs named und the na- tators as they have In the past, and the t lure of the event soclallv and otherwise attendance was not as large as tormeriy. It seemed that New York was awakening to the brutality of the . thing .and that those who were present were there more to see a spectaclo which had received a vast amount of fepacc In the newspapers than for any expectation of teeing sport. The marriage of one of tho contestants proved a fizzle as far as the expectations ol the management were concerned. It was expected that the ceremony would attract a large number of the senfmsn tah but It Is a question if a single extra admission was attracted by this travesty on the sacred ceremony. Theie were many In the garden who did not hesitate to express themselves on the intellectu ality of a couple which would permit such a scene and the comments were anything but complimentary. But tho affair Is over and It is hop-d that tho old woman's "consulate of this city will be burled shortly so that legal measures may be taken to stop all oth ers In the future.

A I'oottmll Echo. ItecalUng the expulsion of Maybury, the great Western sprinter, and Coch cms, the captain of the football team, from the University of Wisconsin, last September; for alleged taking part In professional games, an Item which has been going the rounds of sporting col umns and whicli last appeared In a Bos ton paper. Is quite a tribute to the ama teur status of the Chicago University football team from a member of the ath letic council of the University of Wiscon sin. It runs as follows: "Stags had the highest salaried team that ever played football. If the men whom Wisconsin proteited ate not all disqualified It will be an outrageous""lolatlon of all amateur ethics." The trouble Is there are now and have In past two years been such a numerous lot of flagrant violations of amateur rules, especially and mostly. In college athletics, that It would be hard to tell where to begin the dbqua!lflng process even ir the proper "college authorities showed a disposition to do so. it is un fortunate that the matter of competition should be so strong that tho matter of tight and wrong, even In athletics, should be winked at as If tho ecurlng of this or that man or men were the consum mation of the highest and best ambitions .lnuqollego. audolher athletics. Columbia Athletic Club. "The Columbia Athletic Club bowling terrors can't lost nny more," said an en thusiastic member, "they win as easl y on foreign as on home alleys and they are now working thelf way to second place or better." And It looks e:y much as if this may turn out to be the casj f.r they are certainly fbrglng ahend In good style. They now stand eight games w.n and seven lost with a standing pe:cent age of .133. They boosted themselves up the ladder on Monday last with a triple victory over tho Washington Athletic Cub on the alleys of the latter. Von Boeckman Is keeping up hN good work and as the keystone of the bowling Is proving a tower of strength. The "Doctor" Is keeping up hl3 steady picking and leading the way for the strong bowlers.

The players will take a rest until January 2 when they meet tne saengers. The ladies' day on Thursday aftern:on was a great success socially as well as artistically, "and while the attend nee was not as largo as upon some former occasions, owing to tho busy holiday times, it was large enough for comfort and everybody knew everybody else. The amusement committee deserves crdlt for the excellent managemnent of the affair. Tho annual Indoor competitions for the club championships will be held next month and will Include athletics as well as gymnastic contests, and some very clever work in all lines may be expected. It has not yet been determined If the In dl Idudi athletic workers, those who hold local records, will be entered In cil'mlng open events In New York or whether they, wiU hold off to see it the local or ganizations will give a joint Indoor meet, which Is now more or less frequently spoken of. The billiard and pool experts of the club are talking of arranging the annual tourneys for tho club championships in the two lines. The club is very strong in players and Interesting contests may be expected. Cnrroll Ii.nlltuic Athletes. Both the basketball and bowling teams of Carroll Institute ore In . such good shape now that they may be counted on to, win almost anywhere. The bowlers will have a resting spell In tho schedule until January 4. when they begin the midwinter series with tt Business Men's Club as the oppcslcg team. In the meantime they will keep up as much" as possible -their practice for the League race Is entirely too close fcr conrfbrt, and being bunched as the tcam3 aTf for tho leading places, no team can afford to take chalices In the matter cf condition. The team as It stand3 now Is one of the steadiest and strongest tho or ganization has had In several years and kept together for another year will make one of the strongest the city has ever had. The return of Joe Daly to the basket ball team has undoubtedly strengtlrered It, and his good all-around work on a't Wednesday in the game with the reju venated Washington athletics wa3 eric of the -factors which saved the team f.om a defeat. His two field goals were very clever. Capt.

The Eastern Athletic Club basketball team Is putUng up a good game this sea son, notwithstanding the change of play ing rules, but has run up against some hard luck, especially In goal thmwlng. In this line the boys are not equaling their work of last year, and the forwards should take more practice In this spe cialty. Capt.

Caulitlower and Bol ger aro two very clever backs. Thsy seem to be In every pla, and are es pecially good In blocking thrown liners. Gooding Is plajlng his usual quiet, clean cut center and doing his work well.

Hughes and Pearson aro two good play. era who play their level best at all limes, and always help make the game interest ing to the spectators. The next game scheduled for the team Is that of December S with the Light Infantry, which will undoubtedly draw out a big crowd.
