HIOTSON CENTUKY RIDES
EXPERIENCED LONG DISTANCE
CYCLIST OFFERS SUGGESTIONS
Century Road Club's New Rules
Adopted Lnst .Month Are Now
Given Ont Column of Interest to
All Road Killers, and Especially
Would-Be Century Folk.
Road riding will be one of the most
popular forms of bicycling this sea
son. Within the past three years the
cyclist has become a familiar visitor
at wayside inns and country hostelries
within a radius of fifty miles from this
city, and hardly a pleasant day passes
without the wheelman being very
much in evidence upon the country
thoroughfares. There are, no doubt,
hundreds of St. Paul riders who have
" at some time since becoming cyclists
wondered if they could succeed in ac
complishing a century run; and to this
class the following interview with an
experienced century rider of this city
may prove of interest: "It is not much
of a trick to do a century," he said,
upon being a*sked if one should go
through a special course of training
for the feat. "Of course one must be
a fairly good road rider to be able to
ride one hundred miles over country
reads inside the time limit of fourteen
hours, but, if he goes about it in the
proper way, he will lind the long trip
more of a pleasure than a task. If you
are ambitious for century honors, 1
would advise you to gradually extend
your pleasure trips for a month or so
before attempting the century run. At
the end of that period take a good
smart run out to Hotel St. Louis, Min
netonka. some pleasant morning, re
turning in the afternoon. This would
make a forty-eight mile spin. If you
find you have been able to accomplish
this without extreme fatigue or seriou?
after effects, you are without doubt in
good physical condition for a century
run. For about a week after your Min
netonka ride do not go on any very
long trips, but take ten or fifteen-mile
spins each day to keep your riding
muscles In good working order. You
are then ready for the Northfield run.
Start about 6 a. m. from the
Market house, accompanied, if
possible, by some experienced
century rider who has been
over the course before. Go west on
Seventh street to Smith avenue, then
cross the high bridge and keep straight
ahead until the road becomes too bad
for your wheel (which happens before
you have gone four blocks), then take
the sidewalk on the left. If you take
the right hand walk you run the risk
of arrest by that Dakota county town
marshal who stands on guard behind
some convenient stump or tree and
collects his meagre salary in small in
stallments from unsuspecting city
cyclists whom he succeeds in nabbing
and bulldozing into 'handing over.'
You keep straight on as far as the
street extends, then turn sharp to the
right and follow the telephone poles.
You are now on the old Dodd road and
will have no trouble in finding your
way. After you have reached Rose
mount (sixteen miles) you may con
gratulate yourself upon the fact that
the worst part of the road is over. If
it ha.s not taken you over two hours to
reach this point, you are within sched
ule time and are entitled to a fifteen
minute rest.
"Farmington (eight miles) is suppos
ed to be reached in the next hour.but.as
the road is good and level now, It
should not take you more than forty
five minutes to make the run. Be
tween Farmington and Northfield (six
teen miles) are some long weary hills,
but to compensate you for this trial
you will find miles of beautiful level
road, winding along beside cultivated
fields and turning square corners as It
follows the section lines over as fine
a rural landscape as there is In the
state. The farmers all along this road
will be found hospitable and willing to
offer refreshments to the hungry or
thirsty cyclist. In fact, catering to the

field century course.
"The distance between Farmington
and Northfield should be easily covered
in two hours, and you should be able
to register at the Archer house by 11:30
a. m., at the latest. At 12:30 or 1 p.
m. you should start on the return trip
and try and make each village in about
the same time that it took you on the
morning trip. You are due at high
bridge, St. Paul, at 5:30 p. m. You go
on direct to Minneapolis via Smith
avenue, Oakland avenue, Summit ave
nue and Marshall avenue, across
bridge and out Lake street, Minneap
olis, to Park avenue. Turn to right on
Park avenue to intersection of Tenth
street; then turn about and come back
to St. Paul market house over the
same route. You should finish by 7:30
p. m., or thirteen hours thirty minutes
from your start in the morning. You
will no doubt feel tired, and the sight
of a wheel for a day or two will make
your legs ache, but you will have the
satisfaction of knowing that a cen
tury run is not a task beyond your
powers, and you can, if you wish, at
any time within a year from date of
your run, obtain a century bar from
the Century Road Club of America, as
a souvenir of your long ride."
The following are the latest rules and
regulations governing century riding
as promulgated by the road record
committee of the Century Road club
at the meeting last month in Chicago.
Actual lapse of time allowed: Single
century, fcuit:en consecutive hours; doable
century, twenty-four consecutive hours;
triple century, thirty-six consecutive hours;
quadruple century, forty-eight hours.

more than twenty miles of the whole (20
per cent of the whole) was ridden over
paved city streets, boulevards, park road
ways or race tracks.
The entire distance, one, two, three or
four hundred consecutive miles, must be
covered awheel or afoot. No traveling by
train will be allowed.
Centuries ridden on tandems cr other
multiple machines earn a bar for each mem
ber of the crew.
When applications are made for double,
triple and quadruple centuries, each sepa
rate century must, be applied for on Sepa
rate blanks. The state centurions will not
approve applications for double, triple or
quadruple centuries made otherwise.
Riders should be accompanied by others
if possible. Otherwise, appl catioris for bars
must be attested by a notary public.
Have affidavit written en back of blank.
Applications for bars must be sent to the
centurion of the state in which the century,
or the greatest portion of it was ridden, for
his approval, he in turn will forward the
claim to the secretary, who must receive it
within thirty days after the century is
ridden.
The club may allow bars for all centuries
ridden by applicants for original member
ship, within twelve months prior to date
of their application, provided that all such
applications for bars are filed with mem
bership application.
Biank forms for applications for century
bars can be obtained from the secretary or
state centurion.
NOTES OF THE WHEEL.
Charles Ward, the well known trainer,
who now has Karl Kiser and Dr. J. A. Brown
under his wing, has written friends in In
dianapolis that all of the crack riders who
are now ra<-ing on the new track at Beliair,
Fla., expect to come to Indianapolis nexc
August. The foreign riders who are at Bel
laire are all counting on attending the '98
meet. If this is so. the L. A. W. race meet
will be an international affair.
The members of the state board of the In
diana division have decided on the week
of Aug. 7 as the one in which to hold the
national meet. The '88 Meet club requtsted
that the week bo chosen, as it seemed the
one best fitted for the event. The national
meet will last five days.
Bos-ton has entered the field for the '99
meet, and a club has been organized in that
city to make a fight for the event next year.
The coming of Boston into the field makes
two cities that are working for the '99 meet.
Buffalo has been a candidate since the meet
at Philadelphia last August. Both cities
aTe well adapted for holding the meet, and
the fight between them will be most inter
estting. Chief Consul Jenkins, of New York,
has written Mr. Sherwood that the Buffalo
delegation will come to Indianapolis next
summer prepared to take this city by storm,
just as the Hooaier boomers did at Philadel
phia last summer. Boston will not be at ail
backward in pushing its claims and the
friends of the two cities will have a lively
time here in August.

A representative of the Duluth yachting
enthusiasts who are seeking to place the
yachting Interest of the Zenith city on a
sufficiently sound basis to justify entrance
into the Interlake Yachting association, is
expected in Minneapolis next week for a con
ference with several Minnetonka boat own
ers. It is understood that four men in Duluth
stand willing to pay fair prices for as many
first-class sloops of the fleet that now prac
tically represents so much dead timber to
Minnetonka owners, at least so far as racing
is concerned.
Comiskey Sig-ns Miller.
Manager Comiskey, of the St. Paul base
ball club, yesterday went to Minneapolis and
secured the services of George Miller, alias
"Doggie," who is now running the National
hotel bar ln the Mill city, for the CDming base
ball season.
The contract between the two is, necessar
ily, contingent on effecting an agreement with
the Columbus and Philadelphia clubs, but
this will probably be arranged all right, as
it is believed that Columbus wants Hulen
more than it does Miller, and St. Paul needs
Miller the more.
Philadelphia's interest is not considered
partial.
THE ST. PAUI, GLOBE SUNDAY FEBRUARY 13, 1898.
SAINTS SHOW UP WELL
ONE OP THE STRONGEST CLUBS IN
THE WESTERN LEAGUE
So Says President Johnson, and In
Hlk Opinion ManaKer Cnmlskey's
Crowd Will Keep the Rent of the
Circuit on the Move for the Pen
nant.
"St. Paul has one of the strongest
clubs in the league," said President
Ban Johnson ln Chicago recently. "I
consider it the strongest club that city
has had since it came into the league,
and while it would not be in good
taste for me to say anything in any
way disparaging the other organiza
tions which will be in the league this
year, I think I may say that it looks
as strong as any team in the eight.
"I look for a very successful season
on the part of the Western league. The
acquisition of Omaha, in the place of
Grand Rapids will, J believe, greatly
strengthen the league financially, while
the effort that the owners of the
Omaha club are making in the way of
getting together a team promise to
give all the other clubs in the league a
hustle which Grand Rapids has not
given them.
"Manager Comiskey, whom I con
sider one of the shrewdest managers
in the base ball business today, has
gathered about him a company which,
I think, will prove a credit to "the city,
whose name it will bear, and a team
worthy a place In a more pretentious
league."
While the president of the Western
was talking, Mr. O'Brien, of the Omaha
club, came in. The new magnate de
clared that he and his associates were
going to spare no effort to give Omaha
a club that would be a credit to the
Exposition City, and he threatened the
other clubs in the league with a lively
race.
MULLANE THE ONLY ONE
of the Pltehera Who Twirled in An-
Hon'N Early I)n> s.
In a review of Anson's record an Eastern
writer indulges in the following reminiscen
ces:
Anson, during his career on the diamond,
and, in fact, while with the Chicago club,
has batted against every. one of these pitchers.
He has seen them all begin their work' of
professionals and he has seen them all reach
the zenith of their success and drop out of
the ranks. The only pitcher ln the country
today who was a contemporary of the league
stars in the early eighties is Tony Mullane.
who Is still pitching, and has recently signed
his contract with St. Paul for the coming sea
son. He Is the only one of the old guard left
in the box, and his great arm seems as strong
as ever.
Frank Samuels, of Indianapolis, has pre
served an article on National league pitchers,
written ln 1886, when Clarkson, Radbourne,
McCormlck, Keefe, Bufflngton, Furgeson and
Mickey Welsh were in the box. Not one of
these men is playing bail today, and yet at
that time they were all under thirty years of
age. These men prospered in the days of the
eight-club league, when Detroit, Chicago and
the old St. Ix>uis Browns were rivals. That
year Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Wash
ington, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and Kan
sas City composed the league.
Clarkson, who, with McCormlck, led the
Chicago team three times to victory, was just
budding into his full str. j pg'b. The review sa. s
of him: "As an amateur Clarkson's playing
attracted considerable attention. He Joined the
professional ranks — the Worcester team — in
1881, and established a reputation for skill and
staying power.
"Jamie McCormlck was born in Scotland
and crossed the sea when he was a 'wee bit of
a bairn.' He is a striking example of the
fact that a pitcher may retain his effectiveness
for years, provided he exercises judgment and
discretion in taking care of himself. McCor
mick has a record extending back ten sea
sons, ln every one of which he has done nota
ble service, and If any one thinks he is not
as good today as he ever was, let him try to
purchase his release from Spalding. Beginning
back in 1876, McCormick began playing pro
fessionally with the Olympics, of Paterson, N.
J. He joined Columbus in 1877, and in 1878
joined the Indianapolis club. He went from
Indianapolis to Cleveland and played there un- ■,
til 1884, when he joined Providence. When
that team disbanded he joined Chicago, and
has since occupied the position of Anson's
right bower. There are few tricks in the em
bellishment of McCormick's delivery, but it
is none the less effective on that account.
"Baldwin, of Detroit, was at that tme
the mainstay of the old Wolverines. He
was born in New York, and began play
ing professional ball in 1884. The next
season he Joined Detroit, and so, the story
goes, has since done excellent service for that

Sensational Cricket.
SYDNEY, N. S. W., Feb. 12.— The cricket
match between Capt. Stoddart's visiting Eng
lish eleven and an eleven representing New-
South Wales, was ended yesterday, establish
ing a record. In the first innings New South
Wales scored 415 runs, and in the second
innings 574 runs. The Englishmen, in their
first innings, made 387 runs, aud in the sec
ond innings 363 runs.
There were several sensational incidents,
notably the extraordinary batting of Howell
who, going in last for New South Wales in
the home team's second innings, made 95
runs in fifty minutes and his partner scoring
nine.
Boxing Allowed.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 12.— The "boxing
and sparring" ordinance, recently rassd b**
the council, was today returned by Mayor
Taggart, without his signature. The mayor
says there is no law against legitimate
sparring and gives as a reason for his veto
that he is opposed to the passage of any Lw
or ordinance that constantly requires the
presence of the police to regulate, as is re
quired in this ordinance.
club. When the batsman takes his position,
Baldwin faces right short and glances over
his shoulder at the player he proposes to
bowl out. Seizing the ball firmly in the
'south paw,' he brings it uo to his breast
and moving his leit fco'_ toward first bass,
swings to the front and lets drive."
The other Detroit players who did much
to land that club a winner was Charles H.
Getzein, whose bonie wan in Chicago, and
who still plays in the City league. Even at
that eariy day he had : "won bis nome of
i "Pretzel." The story say/s: "Getzein began
I playing ball when he' donned his first pair or
trousers. In 1882 he joined the Grand Rapids
team. In 1884 he joined, Detroit, where he
has since remained.'' 1
Boston a-, that time had two famous pitch
ers in Radbourne and Buffington, both of
whow are now dead 1 . 1 "CBarley Radbourne,"
so says the chronicler, "hails from Bloom
ington. 111. He is a pitcher of many years'
experience, and played Iris first professional
engagement in a club representing his own
town. He was next" found in cemoanv with
| McCcrmick, the Rowe brf.hers, Cliff Carrol
• and other well-known ' players on the Col
umbus (O.) team in JS77. When he joined fie J
I Providence team, in 1881. his reputation was
not sufficiently well established, and he was
only given a trial. I n n j s first game he was
knocked out of the box. He begged for an
other trial, and, uneler protest, it was given
him. He won his game, and became a fix
ture. He went to Boston in ISBS, and is now
known as the 'Prince cf Twirlers.' Rad
is nc-ted for his easy,' underhand delivery,
which fools many batsmen."
In those bygone days New York had two
great pitchers in Keefe and Welsh. Keefe
still retains a hold on the game as an um
pire. At that time his autobiography was
written in this way: "Tim Keefe is a naive
of Cambridge, Mass.. and his career has been
exceedingly diversified. Beginning with the
semi-professional team cf Lewiston, Me., ln
1875, he played the following year with the
famo-us 'Our Boys.' of Boston. He played in
West-bury, and Clinton. Mas 3., during the
next two years. In 1880 he went to Troy,
and remained with that club until he signed
with New York, in 1883.
"Mickey Welsh has been playing ball for
nine years. He made his first appearance
on the professional diamond with the old
Volunteers, of Poughkeepsie, N. V., in 1878.
The next season he played with Auburn. N.
V., and Hclyoke, Mass. In 1880 he joined the
Troy team and pitched with the club three
seasons. In 1883 he received a tempting offer
from the New York club, and,, has never
had reason to regret the transfer which
brought him to the New York club."
In 1886 Charley Ferguson was just in the
height of his glory. He had at that time
enjoyed a short but brilliant career with
the Quakers. He was born in that city, and
Harry Wright watched him develop for sev
eral yeiars before he asked him to join the
Philadelphia club in 1885. Ferguson pitched
brilliant ball while he lasted: there was none
better in 1887 and 1888, but the trip of the
All-American and Chicago teams around the
world wias too much for him. and he soon
dropped out of sight. He died a few years
ago from disease contracted on that trip.
E. M. Dailey was another Philadelphia play
er whom Harry Wright had brought out at
that time. Dailey. says the report, was a
native of Boston, but began playing ball in
Harrisburg, Pa., in ISS4. He joined the Phil
adelphia team the next season, and was
thought to be one of the best pitchers in the
country.
Dan Casey, the third member of the Phil
lies' staff, will be remembered in Indian
apolis. Casey was born in Binghamton, N.
Y. He began playing in Wilmington. Del.,
in 1884, went to Indianapolis in 1885, and was
sold with the rest of the team to Detroit
in June of that year. In 18*6 he joined the
Philadelphia club and was with the Quak
ers when this review was written.
In those days the St. Louis Maroons, which
the next season became the Indianapolis club,
depended on Boyle and John F. Kirby to do
most of their work. "Boyle," says the histo
rian, "has been pitching great ball this sea
son, but has not beeu worked hard, on ac
count of a sore arm. He began his career
in 1883, and is a native of Philadelphia. He
went to St. Louis in 1884 with the Union as
sociation, but joined the league team in 1885.
He has the strength and size and should make
a great pitcher when his arm gets strong.
Klrby was born in St. Louis and joined the
j Kansas City Unions in 1884. He developed
iijto a flrst-ciass twirler before the close of
the season, and in 1885 was secured by Presi
dent Lucas for the Maroons."
Eighteen hundred and eighty-six was Kan
sas City's only season in the National league,
j and Manager Watkins, of Detroit, had un
loaded a couple of worn out piichers on Dave
Rowe, who then had charge of the Cowboys.
The two mainstays in the box for Kansas
City were "Grasshopper" Jim Whitney and
George or "Stump" Weidman. There could
not have been a greater contrast between the
two men. Whitney was tall and slender, and
jumped a foot in the air every time he de
livered the ball. He had done effective work
ln the early eighties, but was in ISS6 going
down hill. He died • several years ago.
"Stump' Wetdman was short and fat. He
made his debut} as- a. pitcher: with the famous
"Hop Bitters" team,' of Rochester, N. V., in
1880; went from ihere to Buffalao, and later
joined the Nationals, of Washington. He
played a brief engagement with Washington,
jumped the club for Albany. N. V., and later
in the season joined Detroit, where he played
for five seasons. He joined Kansas City in
1886.
There was another young pitcher on the
Kansas City safe that year who was then
out for his first season. He was Richard
Conway. He made his first appearance on
the diamond with Buffalo in the fall of 1885.
His work in 1886 was fair, and he jumped to
the front next season with Detroit.

Plans have been quietly made re

not on, the day for the trip.

troit, at the Chicago' Athletic club tonight.
In the first round-, Garrard had slightly
the better of it, bringing; blood by a stiff
left on the mouth. Both men went at it
savagely in the se-Jona round and in less
than thirty seconds Garrard went down with
a right on the jaw:
He was up immediately and down as quick
as he was up._ Sieloff knocked him down
eight times and hammered him all over the
ring. Garrard was '-fcover'ed with blood and
very weak when the robnd closed.
In the third he managed-! to land two light
ones, but Sieloff put a »ght on Garrard's
jaw that sent him. helpless* to the ropes Two
more punches finished Garrard entirely and
he was still on his f«et. and he was so dazed
that Referee Geo. Siler pulled Sieloff off and
gave him the fight. ,«It was several minutes
before Garrard was able Eto stagger from
the ring. The bout was-,40 have been for

CHRIS BEHIND THE BARS I
ST. LOUIS MAGNATE REGULARLY '
JAILED AT PITTSBURG
Yon Der Ahe Locked Up to Await the
Arrival of Money Froni Home to
Pay the Baldwin Judgment An
other Legal Battle Is in Pros
pect.
PITTSBURG, Pa.. Feb. 12. — This
evening, Chris Yon Der Ahe, the St.
Louis base ball magnate, was placed
behind the bars In the Allegheny coun
ty jail to await the arrival of money
to pay the Baldwin judgment.
Although Yon Der Ahe has been In '
the custody of Sheriff Lowry since yes
terday, actual Imprisonment was not
decided upon by that officer until late
this evening, when it was evident the
money could not arrive from St. Louis
before Monday.
A telegram was received by Yon Der
Ahe this afternoon from ex-Congress
man Glover, his St. Louis attorney, say
ing the money would reach here on
Monday. The base ball man's local at
torney says the judgment, costs and
Interest will be satisfied on Monday,
but he expects to refuse to pay the bill
of $917.25 for kidnapping expenses, for
which Mr. Nimick contends. If Yon
Der Ahe's release from jail is denied
after the original judgment and costs
are satisfied, there will be another legal j
battle here.
When the time came, Chris submitted I
to imprisonment with a good grace, j
and walked jauntily to his cell, after I
having turned over to the warden his !
diamonds and other valuables, as re- i
quired by prison rules.
It is stated that, soon after being I
locked up, Yon Der Ahe became sick '
and a physician had to be summoned,
but his illness is not thought to be se
rious.
VANDERBECK IX CHICAGO.
Appears to Be on the Lookout for
New Players.
CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-President G. A. Van
derbeck, of the Detroit base ball club, who
arrived in the city late Thursday night,
has called on Ban Johnson and on Presi
dent Hart. The object of the visit of the
Detroit man to the city was not made pub
lic, but it is supposed that he Is looking
for new men. Detroit will lose three of its
best players this year. Pitcher Hahn and
Third Baseman Steinfelt have been drafted
by the major league, and MaeCauley has
been sold. The Detroit president and John
son held a long consultation in the after
noon, but neither would say what was done.
Vanderbeck left for his home late in the
evening.
Another shining light ln the base ball
world to drop in on the local magnate was
Tim Hurst, who will manage the St. Louis
club this season. The veteran umpire would
also not divulge the Import of his coming
to the city, and the object is a mystery.
It does not seem probable that he is after
players, for he has none to trade. The new
manager expressed himself as well satisfied
with the material he has on hand and, while
he is not counting any chickens before they
are hatched, he says he is willing to wager
that his team will not finish last this sea
son. "Tim" is especially well pleased with
Clements, who, he thinks, is the best all
around backstop in the league.
BASE BALL NOTES.
It Is said that Fred Pfeffer wil be given a
berth on the National league umpiring staff.
"Arlie" Latham is now free to sign where
he pleases, Mansfield having dropped all
claims to him.
Bumpus Jones gives Dick Buckley all the
credit for making him the pitcher that he Is
today.
Bobby Wheelock, who was with Grand
P.apids last season, has signed to go to Nor
folk.
Gonding and Meaney, of the Wilkesbarre
club, are doing battery work for New Orleans
amateur clubs.
Springfield has signed a catcher and third
baseman named M. R. Yaw, who played with
Wcsleyan university team.
The only changes in the Boston team this
season will be ln the battery department.
There will be none in the in or outfields.
Josh Rellly, who was tried last season by
Kansas City and other Western league cities,
has signed this year with Springfield in the
Interstate league.
Mcßrlde has not yet been asked to sign
a Cincinnati contract. Perhaps Brush drafted
Algie for a speculation.
Schuman and O'Brien are after young
Griffin, the shortstop picked up by Glenalvin
last fall and later traded to St. Paul. In
Griffin they would secure one of the best
arms in the business and a strictly dare-devil
player. Griffin never waited for a ball to
come to him; he went to the ball. He made
errors, but he took chances on everything,
hit well and was a hot favorite with the
crowd. Griffin would like to play here.
Steinfeldt won't join the Reds at Cincinnati
Treasurer Lloyd received a letter from Stein
feldt, dated Los Angeles, Cal., stating that
he intended to leave there for Fort Worth
Tex., Feb. 5, and that he would like to re
main there until about March 4, when he
will leave for San Antonio.
Pitcher Wayne, the Kansian, who tried to
break into the Western league through the
Kansas City Blues last season, has signed to
play with New Orleans in the Southern
league.
Rcckford base t*all fans are stirred up over
being dropped from the Western association
circuit, and wired to Ban Johnson to find
out If there is any chance of getting a
franchise in the Western league.
Frank Pears tells the St. Louis people that
he is not hurrying about signing a Detroit
contract, as he thinks he stands some chow
of getting a job as National league umpire.
It will be remembered that he umpired sev
eral games at St. Louis just at the close of
the season.
Dibby Flynn was in Indianapolis last week
but did not sign a contract. He would like
to get another chance at short, and be
lieves he can hold that position to the satis
faction of the cranks. Flynn wants to play
in Indianapolis next season, and will prob
ably be used as a utility man.
Somebody has started the story, and it Is
going the rounds of the press, that "Voice
less" Tim O'Rourke is to captain the New- i
castle team in the Interstate league. Next !
thing some ingenious paragrapher will assert |
that "Dummy" Hoy is going to do all die '
kicking for the Louisville team.— Kansas City j
Journal.
Algie Mcßrlde, one of the ex-Colts that •
Chicago disposed of. Is complaining of his \
treatment by Magnate Comiskey, of the St. '
Paul club, in the Western league. Algie says •
he could have gone to Kansas City at a
much better salary than St. Paul offered !
him. Comiskey, however, promised him $125
extra If his season's work warranted it, he '
says. So well did the ex-Chicago player do I
in the team last season that Cincinnati seiz- '
ed upon an opportunity to buy him from i
Comiskey. The latter is said to have re- I
ceived $1,500 for Mcßride's release. Yet the I
player claims he was not paid a dollar of the
bonus promised him.— Ohio State Journal.
