SPORTS AND SPORTSMEN Newark Beat Jersey City in an Atlantic Base ball League Game. RESULT OF OTHER GAMES News of the Wheelmen—In teresting Information— With the Bowlers. Newark evened matters up yesterday by defeating Jersey City in the second game of the Atlantic League. The victory was won rather too easily to suit the en thusiastic fans of this city, but the game was a good one and the representatives of this city, in spite of defeat, showed good ball. There was a little loose playing in the field, and there the trouble lay. This is a feature, however, that a few games will correct and when the team comes here the lovers of the sport may rest assured that they will see good ball. Newark made many errors, but they got the stick working with excellent effect and good results for them. Brown was in the box for Jersey City and he was hit hard and often. The difference in the bbatting of the teams lay in the fact that Newark carefully -bunched their hits and Jersey City’s were scattered. One of the most sensational plays made in the game was successfully and beautifully worked between 'Brown, Conley and Berryhill. The scores:— NEWARK. R. H.

Murphy, of mile a minute fame, has been- giving exhibitions of speed riding on his "Blue Streak." Since his sensational ride made on the Long Island Railroad last June, Murphy’s time has been pretty well taken up giving exhibitions. Since that time he has rid den over 500 miles on his home trainer, in distances of a mile or two. Each mile of this 500 has been ridden in less than 1:05. The necessity of keeping in training throughout the year has begun to tell on Murphy, and he has been forced to take a course of treatment under tne advice of his physician. Murphy’s plans for the coming year include a trip South shortly. He will 'go to Savannah and ’Louisville, where he will spend about inree weeks giving exhibitions on his heme trainer. Murphy has declared that he will go in to* the competition game this season and contest with all the crack riders. He denies any intention of going to Pans, and thinks there will be plenty to do in the racing field right here in America. It is possible that Murphy counts on win ning some prizes through the absence of the top notchers. _ The interest in century runs is 'fry strong in New York City and the vicinity. ■■Beginning with Sunday, April 29, there •wlH probablv not be a Sunday which will have not only one, but tv.-o or three cen turies scheduled to take place.

A road rider who owns a string of cen tury bars says: “There is one point in re lation to bevel-gear bicycles that I never have seen properly brought out, and yet to my mind it is one of the features that make the chainless so superior. This is the lessening of the dead centre difficul ty. It is most noticeable in going up hill. When both cranks are in the vertical position and at a dead centre there oc curs a distinct pause in riding a chain wheel. It requires a conscious extra ef fort to get the uppermost crank moving forward again. The slackening of the chain permits this. In the bevel-gear wheel there is technically of course the same dead centre, but it is not noticeable the same as in the other. The gears do not have the tendency to take up the re verse motion when the cranks are verti cal, but they preserve the momentum given them and keep on turning so that the feet get past the dead centre without anv extra effort to renew the motion. I think this is the fact that explains why the ehainless, with its continuity of ac tion. is so much more pleasing as a hill climber, as soon as a rider gets accus tomed to the new motion. On the chain wheel it is a ‘dug dug’ from one dead centre to the next going up hill, and with the bevel gear it is a steady rythmical turning of the pedals." One of the most remarkable evidences of the confidence now existing is the num ber of new tracks that are to be opened. These are located at Washington. Atlan tic Citv. Cleveland. Des Moines, Fort Wayne, Syracuse, Albany, Saratoga. New Haven and probably one at Springfield. These are all coliseum tracks, mostly six or eight laps in size and designed to suit night racing. Nearly all will begin oper ations on May 30. Sunday races and night meets will he a distinguishing charac teristic of the 1900 season. There wi'l also be a New York State circuit, including Syracuse Buffalo. Al bany Saratoga and Erie, all night meets. In the Atlantic Coast cities, Washington, Baltimore. Atlantio City, Philadelphia, Newark and New York will arrange a non'-coR'flictlng schedule and hold their riders together. All of these will hold night meets except New York. There will be a tri-State circuit, taking in Louisville, Cincinnati. Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Terra Haute and some smaller cities. These will run partly on Sunday ancl partly at night. In the middle AW, •Chicago with three tracks, Milwaukee, Ottumwa Des Moines and some smaller ones, will operate a circuit, while there will be two small circuits formed, one be tween Salt Lake City, Denver and Reno, the other a strictly local affair in Minne S°There are about four hundred profes sionals, and 5.000 amateurs waiting to en gage in the game. One of the features of the spring Is the return of some of the old celebrities who were thought to be out of it ” including Bald, Michael, Starbuek ; and Johnny Johnson There are now , ready to compete, so far as known, forty motor teams and twenty-five followers of ; motor pace, and the motor machines may ■ be counted upon as a constant feature j from the beginning to the end of the sea- | son.

Since the bicycle season opened a crowd of young men ranging from the ages of 15 to 20, congregate about the corner, and every night from 8 o’clock till 11 they keep up a continual wrangle as to who is the best rider, and shout how j much they will bet on this or the other fellow. The argument, last evening, was so warm that they nearly came to blows. Mrs. Murtaugh, a tenant of No. 202 Bar row street, left her house and threatened that she would have them arrested. Then they gradually sneaked away. Mrs. Murtaugh says it is a nightly oc currence, and one of her children being ill, it is a great annoyance to her. Her neighbors also complain. building muddle.
