VERY ROCKY, VERY.
Harper Pitched as Well as the Buffalo
Twirlera but His Support Was
Very Poor.
The Barons threw nwuy the chance to
win the first game in the series with
UutTalo. The Bisons made 14 hits for
25 bases and IS runs; the Barons made
13 hits for 21 bases and 13 runs. So the
hitting was only slightly In the visitors'
favor, but their majority of two bases
was more than balanced by Harper's
control. He gave mi Iufph on talis,
struck out three men and hit four.
Eleven bases on balls were given by the
two Buffalo twirlera. So there is only
the error column left to consider. Of
HufTulo's two errors only one cost a run.
Scl an ton's eight were all costly. The
earned runs were 9 and 9. This sum
mary ought to furnish a sufficient diu-
I it the first Inning Oremmlnger col
lided with Wuril at first. Ward re
ceived the Bison's shoulder squarely on
the side of tils head and went to grass.
The collision was unintentional. Time
was called and the game was delayed
five minutes. The senator finally round
ed to and played another inning, when
he had to retire, Outcalt taking his
jiluce. Ward Is not seriously hurt and
will be In the game today.
HRRNDON WAS WILD.
Herndon.who started to nltch for Buf-
fulo, was very effective for five innings,
though he gave evidence of wlldness,
which came In unmistakable form In the
sixth. In that inning, after giving
three bases on balls and permitting a
double by Orittln, a home run by Ma
gulre and a three-bagger by Hutchin
son, he was taken out and Wadsworth
was substituted. The latter was wilder
than he had any license to he, giving
five bases on balls In five innings and a
half.
It was a game of heavy hitting.
Fields knocked one over the fence at
right center, the first fair fly to go over
tne ruioe this year, and Stahl and Ma
gulre made homers on drives to the
left Mt-ld corner. There were two three-
naggers and six doubles.
Latham's base on balls, and stolen
, base and a fly to the outfield, and Grem-
, minger's failure to stop it when It came
In, gave the Barons one for a stirter,
The Bisons made two on two doubles
and a single in the first, and In the
second scored four times on four singles,
a hit by pitcher, a steal and Magulre's
error when but two runs were In and a
chance wns offered to retire the side.
We earned one In the third on Lath-
arn's force hit and steal and Hutchin
son's single. The PlFons made four
sending the score up to 2-10. Hutchin
son made a fumble and with one out
muue anoiner wnicn witn a single, a
force hit and Field's homer gave the
Visitors thplr four
- SIX 8CRANTOX RUNS.
The Barons made the score 8-10 In the
fourth. Grlflin'8 double, a walk to Ka
gan and Magulre's home drive pulled
In. .three runs. Bases on balls to Ber
ger and Harper and Hutchinson's
triple supplied two more. Meaney had
two. balls and no strikes on him when
Wadsworth entered the box. Meaneygot
his four and when he started to steal
and drew the ball Hutch scored
Meaney was run down on the line.
The Bisons Increased their lead and

In the sixth the Barons with two out,
following- Meaney's force hit got three
earned tallies on singles by Outcalt and
Griffin, and a double by Easan. The
Ilisans did better. Harper's poor assist.
Smith's triple, a hit by pitcher. Wise's
single, Stahl's double and Hutchinson's
fumble and bad throw made five runs
possible. Score. 11-1S.
The Kiron's didn't score again. The
Barons got two more, one In the seventh
on Iierger's single and Clymer's failure
to stop Latham's grounder and one In
the ninth on Meaney's two-bagger
which followed I-atliam's force hit.

Cleveland and Baltimore were the
only two of the first division to win yes
terday. The middle division lost and
all the talleuders, Louisville excepted,
lost. Ilooklyn, Pittsburg and Chicago
are head and head. Hawley pitched a
fine game for Pittsburg, holding the
Brooklyns down to one run. The game
at Washington was about as tedious and
uninteresting a contest as has probably
been played by a major league rlttb in
years. The colts winning In tfce last

HARVARD WINS.
Lark Favored Priacctoa, bat They
Played a Miserable C.arae.
Princeton, N. J.. June 10. The Prince
ton commencement week ended most
dismally In the base ball game with
Harvard today In which the visitors
scored 8 runs to Princetons 5. Prince
ton undoubtedly made as poor a display
in the field as v.aa ever given on the
Varsity grounds, and First Baseman
Kelly was responsible for a large share
of it.
Luck favored the orange and black
for the first six Innings and the score
was then Princeton 5, Harvard 2. Wil
son pitched for nearly five Innings when
his arm fcue out and he exchanged
places with Easton. Then the trouble
begsn. A single, an error by Kelly and
Burgess' base on being hit by a pitched
ball tilled the bases. Hands then let out
a three bagger and brought them all In
and tied the score In the seventh. The
bases again filled In the eighth when
Clnrkson singled, bringing In Dean and
Burgess. Chundler had already scored
ami Princeton's downfall was complete.
The Tigers could only knock high Hies
In the ninth and were readily retired.
Thus Harvard has won her first game
in tbe series with Princeton. Score:

STATE LEAGUECRASH.
York Disbands and Carbondale Is on the
Verge of It Players to Go
to Pottsvllle.
York, Pa., June 10. The York State
league club disbanded this morning.
Philadelphia, June 10. The disband
ment of the York club will probably
bring about a rearrangement of the cir
cuit and the formation of a six-club
league.
The probabilities now are that Car
bondale will disband and that the play
ers of thut club will be transferred to
Pottsvllle and a stronger team made
up In that city from the players of the
two clubs.
RIOT OVER BALL GAME.
The Ilarvni-d-Priiu'Cton Game the
ludircct Cause of Broken Heads.
Huston, June 10. A riot took place In
Ilurvard snuure tonight and as a result
several Harvard students have
severe bruises and several Cam
bridge policemen are nursing wounds.
It all happened as a result of
the student exuberance over the
victory the Harvard base ball club
secured at Priceton. Three students
were locked up and one was bo badly
cut about the head that a physician was
called to the police station. Twelve
stitches were taken In the wound. He
Is Arthur T- Pilling, a sophomore. The
nthee students are Goldthwalt Dorr, a
Junior, and Clay Brlggs, a special stu
dent.
Patrolmen Corcoran, Murray, Meiu
roy and Dynan were roughly handled
and the coat of the first named was
stripped from his back. The others
were struck In tho face with fists and
stones. This all occurred after the of
ficers had uttempted to arrest Brlggs on
the charge of discharging firearms in
the street.

BICYCLE PROFITS
ARE ENORMOUS
Claim That Manufacturers Have Beea
Making 250 Per Cent.
REAL COST OF BUILDING A BIKE
A Hundred-Dollar heel Is Bail! for
Less Than Oar-third the Price to
tho Kctail Uurer-Fignrcs for the
KtateuientMantirnctarers' Har
vest of Wealth.
If you buy a wheel for $100 you pay
t'iU profit, says the Cincinnati Enquir
er. You may purchase a more costly
wheel, and pay more profit. In fact, and
In proixirtlon, or you may got a much
cheaper wheel and pay relatively the
same profit, which will be about 250 per
cent.
Then don't wonder when you see new
cycle signs on our streets every day,
find bicycle shops at every available
site, and all sorts of shops going Into
the business by mixing wheels with
other merchandise.
Here Is a new foundation on which to
erect a fortune ott muehronm growth.
Family wealth has often been founded
on war contracts, patrimony has been
worked out of and piled upon "rich
strikes" in the "diggins." millions have
been multiplied from spouting oil wells,
and Dame Fortune's smile has bPen
suddenly called forth by other means
that have brought the comfortable ns-
surance of millions to the third and
fourth generation.
Now there appears a new "open se
same to the cave of wealth. The bi
cycle hns become a wheel of fortune to
turn out riches. We have men of wealth
who benr such names ns "mttcnate,"
'king," and "emperor" and other titles
that Imply the power thut money glvps.
Now we are to have the "Bike Haron."
Every purchaser of a wheel knows
what It cost him, but very few know
what It costs to produce a wheel before
the profits are attached. The amount
of profit derived from the sale of mer
chandise is usually a jealously guarded
secret. and the larger the profit the more
dllttcult it Is for the purchaser to learn
the actual cost of production, nnd how
much of what he pays goes into pro
tits. ,
This is particularly true of blcycles.f
Try It and see.
EVADING THE QUESTION.
If retailers attempt to give the infor
mation they will multiply the correct
figures by two or threee. If the manu
facturer Is asked, he will evade the
question, or perhaps quite properly say:
"It Is none of your business."
Hut there are tens of thousands of
wheelmen who Individually know that
the particular wheel he himself Is rid
ing cost him $100 or thereabout, and
would like to know what it cost the
man who constructed It. at the same
moment It stood In its glittering beauty
a completed bicycle. If you have an
ordinary high grade wheel that you
were asked $100 for. you are here In
formed that It cost Its manufacturer
$30.31. The information Is reliable, for
It comes from an unquestionable source.
Here are the figures on the cost of Its
various parts:

PROFIT ON EXTRA ORADKS.
Now, if you wish a wheel particular
ly fine, with the best of finish, full of
artistic lines, and suited to the most
cultivated taste, you arp the man the
dealer is looking for. You will pay more
money and much more profit for such
a wheel. You pay $12n or $150, and such
wheels cost more to produce than the
foregoing ligures show.
The rhns may cost $1.2.", the tires $12,
the saddle $4. and the pedals $1.60. Then
the flniBh will be better than the stand
ard wheel, and there will be more nickle
plating on it.
Of course, you may go In silver or gold
plating, or into solid sliver or gold, and
extend the cost to any figure you wish;
but the further you go the greater pro
portionate profit you will pay.
On the other hand you may Indulge in
the false economy of going to the other
extreme and buying the cheapest wheel
to be found, but even then ynu are pay
ing about the same percentage of profit.
You may go below the standard mark of
$100, a dollar at a time, through the scale
of prices, until you reach the lowest
figures. At the upper end of the scale
there Is not much difference in quality,
and often it is simply in the amount of
profit the seller la willing to accept; but
the price of much cheaper wheels Is
made possible by the grade of material
used nnd the class of workmanship.
There are tlreM that cost $2.f0, saddles
thut cost SO cents and pccpls that cost
40 cents. The second-hand, and second,
even third and fourth rate materials,
is sometimes used.
The work of assembling the partB Is
another factor. Jt may be done with
skilled labor that costs $A for each
wheel, or by boys who simply "throw"
the wheels together.
Inquiries among the dealers for single
parts of the bicycle developed the fact
that there was quite a variation in the,'
prices put on tne articles, out an aver
age shows that the original cost price is
multiplied by five.
A saddle, for Instance, which cost at
the factory SO cents, is sold for $4, and
one which cost $2.50 for $7. Handle bars
that cost from $1 to $l.r0 are sold for $3
and $7. Similar articles listed in the
factory cost at three, five, seven, eight,
ten and twelve cents, cost from 25 cents
to $1. The 28, 30, 40 and 80 cent articles
are sold at from $1.25 to $3.50.
Ho It goes through the list. If a man
anxious to experiment should purchaso
all the various parts of an ordlnnry $100
wheel, one at a time and pay an expert
for putting them together, his wheel
would cost him about $17$.
The manufacturers and dealers ' In
bicycles are making hay while the sun
shines, or, rather, coining money while
the erase lasts". The shrewdest appear
to think that there Is a erase, and that
the trade will settle down to an even
volume, which will vary at times, but
not go at the speed which now it car
ries it, and which has induced an im
mense expansion of the business.
BICYCLE RACING RULES.
Chairman Uideon, of the L. A. W.,
AanouBcct t'hauge ia Team Work.
Philadelphia, June 10. Chairman
Gideon, of the L. A. W In this week's
Bulletin says: Attention ts called to a
change in the rule regarding team races.
The rule, as amended, is as follows: "In
a team race, the position of all the con
testants shall be taken at the end of the
race.
"The first man shall count a number
of points equal to the number of men
starting, the second one less, and so
on."
The rule In regard to official referoes
seems also to be mlsiimlcrrtood. The
rule, as follows, provides that an official
referee must be In charge of every
meeeting.
"An otllcial referee shall be required
to officiate at all meets. National clr-
cult referees must be appointed by the
chairman of the racing board. The
chairman, members and representa
tives of the National Racing board and
the hnndlcappers In their respective
states shull be ex -officio official referees
nnd the chairman and the members of
division racing boards shall be ex
ofticlo olllcial referees within their re
spective divisions. When It Is Impos
sible to obtain the services of an offi
cial referee then the referee shall be
named by the member of racing board
In charge of the district."
TIPS TO WHEELMEN. .
Lending the wheel is a sign of the double
duii key.
The rider who expectorates tobacco Juk-e
on the truck will lose a spoke.
The wheelman who allows a hearse to
pass him will die bbefore the year Is out.
To see a small boy with a slungshot be
side the road Is a prophecy of a puncture.
To be chased by a yellow dog with one
blue eye and one bluck one Indicate a bad
fall.
To attempt to hold up a 275-pound wo
man learning to ride Is a sign of a soft
spot.
Kicking the man who asks the make of
your wheel Is a sign of high honors and
riches within the year.
If you take your machine to the repair
shop it ts a sign that you will not buy
that new suit of clothes.
If you pass a white horse driven by a
redhulred ludy your rim will split unless
you say "cajandrum" and hold up two
fingers.
Thes predictions will be bound In pamph
let form and I trust the day Is not far
distant when they will be found pasted In
the hat of every reputable wheelman.
