McPhee, of the Cincinnati, for years
the king of second basemen, and who still
contests the palm with new aspirants,

a pillow.
Pitcher John Pee, of the Hazleton club,
was seriously injured at Pottsville on Sat

The war between blcyclo manufacturers
A. O. Spalding & Bros, and tho Overtnau
Wheel Co., which hascius d the bottom
to drop out of tho bicycle market, thus in
volving milllOM of dollars aud scores of
other manufacturers, reaehed anew phaao
when the SpaldlngS Hied papers in a coun
ter suit for $100,0(10 against tho Overmau
Wheel Co., v. Inch is sum;.' for tb n o. A
O. Bpnlding & Bros, have retained ex-Oov-
ernor ltobinson, tho I ton ton lawyer who
nelemled J.izzie Borden, aud William A.
BeddlOg. of Unvr York, the recognized
legal cycle expert. In their reply, the
ppaldings allego that In I . and IH93, th
Overman Wheel Co., in violation of theli
contract, supplied them with defective
wheels, which they were obliged to make
gocu to ti.eir customers, and ror over
charges for advertising, and for other vio
lations or the contract, claim 1180.000.
Cyclists and manufacturers throughout tho
country are much interested In thu suit as
it Is expected, when argued, to show the
actual cost of cycles, together with much
other interesting information to the trade.
It is said that iu three years the Spaldiugs
have pai l Overmau about 82,000,000, and
the trado has grown to triorinous propor
tions. The result of this suit 1b expocted
to materially Influence prices duriug'the

the season.
CORNELL WON BY FIVE LENGTHS.
Ths Pennsylvania Boys no Jiutoh for
(lis Oarsmen from Ithaca.
PBIDADBLPHIA, June 17. Tho four
mile uigbt-oareu shell raoe between
Cornell und the University of Pennsyl
vania, on the Delaware river yesterday
afternoon, was won by Cornell by five
lengths in 21 minutes 12 seconds.
Pennsylvania's timo was 21 minutes
li 4 seconds. Cornell rowed a magnifi
cent raco from start to finish, while
Pennsylvania's rugged work more than
offset their strength.
Tno reforeo was to have boon Cap
tain Bob Cook, the Yale coach, but us
Mr. Cook was compelled to go to Now
Haven, Thomas Ov Iluuter, of the
University of Pennsylvania, nctsd in
his pli.co. The Cornell judge on tho
referee's boat was Charles Francis and
the timer Benjamin I. Wheeler. The
Pennsylvania's judge waa John C. Bell
and the timer C. Pemborton, jr. R C.
lUrewas Cornell's judge at the finish
and Jamas Bond wus Pennsylvania's
judgo. Whatever advantage there
was iu the course was Pennsylvania's,
but it was very slight. The river bank
afforded some slight protection at the
start from the wind, and the water
was a little smoother in Pennsylvania's
territory.
When the bows of the two shells were
almost upon a line, Referee Iluulur
guve the signal, and at 0 B7 o'olock the
two crews got off. Pennsylvania took
the water first, and thoir shell shot
ahead of the C'oruellisns for half a
length. It was thu first and last time
Pennsylvania led in tho race. Cornell
quickly settled down to work and shot
their suell after thoir opponents. Penn
sylvania pulled a 111 stroke to the miu
ute and Cornell 85, At tbo half mile
Cornell had drawn away from Pennsyl
vania by half a leugth, and their stroke
had gone up to 117, while Pennsylvania
was sttll at 3U.
The work of the Ithaca men was
beautiliil. Every man in the boat took
the short, quick stroke in rhythmic
unison, and the shell glided through
the Water with hardly the perceptible
splash of an o.ir.
From the half-mile stake, the race
was only a question of bow many
leugths Cornell would win by. They
gradually drew away and at the two-snd-a-balf-mile
stake wero a length
and a hall ahead. Pennsylvania stuck
doggedly to the work, however, aud
palled sturdily on.
At the three-mile post Cornell was 2
lengths ahead. Both crews had aver
aged a !lli stroke up to this time, lut
now Pennsylvania made its last vuin
effort. Coxiwain Perkins throw up his
hand and cuiU J to his meu to spurt.
They respendod and rati the stroke
up to 40, but Cornell quickly increased
to 40, uud maintained the distance be
tween themselves and Pennsylvania.
From here on it wns only a procession,
aud Cornell crossed the line at the fin
ish five lengths ahead of Pennsylvania.
Both crews finished .strong. The Cor
nells rowed their shall ashore and
jumped out and carried it up on the
ueach. After the raoe Trainer Wood
ruff, of the Pennsylvanlaus, nnd Cap
tain Wagonhurit said that they had no
excuses to mak?, and that they were
fairly and squarely beateu.
