WOMAN AND SWIMMING.
She May I'.nsily Acquire the Art 011
lry l.iuid,
A very small propm-tlmi of (ho women
uf tin- world have learned the art of
nutation, although lnost of them would
give u. great deul for even rudimentary
knowledge of swimming. The great
majority of womankind are deprived of
the knowledge- that accrues from the
exercise of swimming, because they fear
to onter the water. Fur stteh, dry
swimming Is recommended.
No special arrangements are needed
save u few preliminary Instructions, a
heavy rug nml the seclusion of one's
own room. The rug Is required for the
double purpose of giving a resting place
to the body and adding elasticity to the
motions to be Rone through with. The
dry MWlmuier lies with her back on the
rug on the rlour and as closely as pos
sible tuoduc-es the motions of a swim
mer hi tho water, varying them only
when the changed conditions make it
necessary.
From the time these motions are per
fectly mastered the real benefits lo the
dry swimmer begin by a strengthening
und a (piickeiied natural development
of almost every muscle of the body and
a scientific toning; nf the nervous sys
tem. In order to obtain the best re
sults the idea Is to perform these mo
tions rapidly, one series after another,
breathing appropriately at the same
time.

f.Vean Treatment of the Plebea at
West Point Isn't a Marker to the
Cruel Joke of the Base Ball Busi
ness- Youngster Wants to Train
and the Old-Timer Uives II im Lots
of Queer Advice.
"You my talk about your college hat

porter, "and your West Point tricks on
the Jilebes and beasts, but they don't
bent the Jobs put up on young ball play
ers. A Juvenile bull tosser Ih legitimate
prey for all the other members of the
team, and they have unlimited fun with
him.
"A great number of the young play
ers who break Into the league come
with the Idea that the older fellows
necessarily know a great deal more
about the game than they do, and
they are only too willing to do anything
that may be told them. The result la
that the old-timers make monkeys of
them. Most of the tricks played are in
the line of training. The youngster
naturally wants to know what to do to
get Into good condition, and there is
where the veteran gets his chance to
jump on the poor novice and break his
ribs.
SEVEN HEAVY SWEATERS.
"When Jlggs Parrott joined the Chi
cago teum he was told that he was too
slow and that he must Increase his run
ning powers. How was he to do this?
Why, easily enough. Just put on seven
heavy sweaters and run ten times
around the park in the hot sun without
stopping;. And Jlggs did It, and be
couldn't walk nor talk for three days
after. Again, they told him that he
must take a shower bath after practice
good advice In itself, but detrimental
In this case, because they stole his
clothes while he was bathing and he had
to go home In a pair of brown overalls
and a blanket, loaned him by the
ground keeper.
"I see the latest victim of this sort
of hazing was Kostal, the Chicago boy
who got a Job with Louisville. On the
train to Louisville he was aproached
by Feasor and Miller, who told him
that the way big league pitchers kept
their arms In order was to suapend
them at night In a trap, which hung
from the roofs of their births. Of course,
they had previously fixed up a strap,
like a street car holder, in Kostal's
berth, and ho took It for Gospel truth.
When he retired he stuck his arms
through that strap and hung that way
all night. He couldn't bend the arm
the next day.
THROWING AT A NAIL.
"We used to get young pitchers out
on the grounds, drive a null in the fence,
make them stand off the regular dis
tance, and practice on that nail. That
wasn't so bad, though, for It tended to
give better control of the ball. The best
and easiest way to have fun with a
young player, however, is In the line
of diet what he must and must not
eat. I remember once that we had some
young recruits thoroughly drilled on the
diet question. They ate nothing for
breakfast but oatmeal mush, which
they knew would not make the stomach
too heavy, with red peppersauce poured
on it to brighten the batting eye, while
they drank coffee with suit In it. guar
anteod to harden the muscles and add
to the endurance. Pete Browning used
to order the most absurd and hideous
compounds and would tell the young
sters that It was to help on his batting.'
The Juveniles would accept whatever
Pete said and would order the same
stuff until old Pete's ingenuity was ex
hausted devising new cruelties for them,
lie would order pancakes with onion
dressing und sugar on top and tripe
with maple syrup, and ull such things,
and the poor lads who hoped some
day to but as Pete did would never
tumble.
ONE ON PETE OA I.LAO 1 1 EH.
"There's another on Pete Gallagher. '
says Charlie O'Connor. " vv hen the Oolts
played at Fort Wayne Pete went along
to 1111 up the team. He made quite a hit
with some girls at Fort Wayne and they
told him they were coming to Chicago
and would so like to see the bull games
there, of course they didn't know but
that Pete was a regular member of the
team. Well, Pete swelled up and said
he'd see thut they got In free. Ho he
wrote out an order: 'Plense pass two,'
anil signed it. 'Peter Gallagher, Chicago
base ball club, pro tern.'
"The girls had never studied Latin,
and they thought pro tern meant some
ofllee connected with the club. A few
days ago they appeared at the ball park
and presented Pete's order. Of course
It was turned down, and Pete doesn t
want to go near Fort Wayne any more
If he knows what Is good for him."
WHEELING CHAT.

An English woman physician says that
as a rule women cyclists ride too far. She
favors the sport, but It must not be over
done. She recommends the use of wide
shoes and the disuse of corsets.
The Pennsylvania railroad h Js) issued
these' orders to baggagemen: "Buggae
agents and baggagemen must handle bag
gage carefully, and be civil and obliging
to passengers. Whilst bicycles are not
carried as baggage, yet they are now car
ried In- baggag cars under established
regulations, and, on account of their
fragile character, require, and should re
ceive special core in handling In order
to avoid break'ns."
September V Is the date selected by E. E.
Anderson, of St. Louis, to make his sec

The bad habits of those Just beginning
to acquire control of their wheels, says a
cycling authority, are absolutely endlc-.
One that has many forms, and ' all of
them reprehensible. Is the habit of "as

leg, and the cyclist Is seen to throw the
lion's share or work on -one limb, es
pecially up hill, making an ugly effect and
tending to swing the whole body sideways.

Conservative New York, after a sea
son and a hairs experiments with night
racing on the part of this city and Bur
falo, last Thursday night concluded, not
without a great deal of trepidation, to
try the game also. The affair was rea
sonably successful; but It Is astonishing
that Gotham with its reputation for
push and go-aheadltlveness, hud not
indulged In this phase of the sport long
ago.
The daring and dangerous feat per
formed first in the world by F. W. Os
good, the inunager of the Brooklyn bl
cycle rink of riding down the chutes on
a bicycle, is now being imitated by otn
t.-rs seeking notoriety In various part
of the country. From St. Louis comes
the following: "The latest scheme of
a St. Louis cyclist Is to ride down the
'Shoot and Chutes.' To say that this
feat Is creating a sensation is mildly
expressing it. The mtle-a-mlnute
scheme Is not for an Instant 'in it
Since the first successful attempt, the
management, recognising the fact that
a wonderful performance of this kind
would prove a great drawing card, en
gaged the wheelmen to ride down the
chute dally. The trip Is now made In
314 seconds. Of course, an exceedingly
high gear Is used to enable the rider
to keep his feet on the pedals. '
The Franch war office has decided to
disband the cyclist corps.
The Jnpanase bicycle story Is going
the rounds again, notwithstanding the
fact that the consul general to Japan
recently reported that Japs were unable
to make durable wheels.
It's now time for some trick rider to

The foreign long distance riders are
approaching dangerously close to '100
miles In twelve hours. Constance Bu

of the game, recently rode over 2S8 miles
In the half-day; in the course of which
he rode 100 miles in 3.41.27 4-5. 150 miles
In IU7.24 3-5, 200 miles in 7.50.7 3-5 and 250
miles In 10.19-54 2-5. How are these fig
ures for high? Tho best American rec
ord is that of Troyman, at Louisville,
on the Fourth of July last, when he
covered 232 miles, 3.520 yards.
The theory that a man astride a wheel

In France and England the seat for

"William F.ngeman, the president of
the Brighton Beach Racing association.
announces that he will ec lipse all rec
ords In the way of rich turf prizes by
offering a stake, open to the world, at
four miles, the value of which will be
somewhere between $100,000 and $150,000,
says a New York dispatch. The race
will not be run before 1900 as a great
amount of labor-will be entailed in the
preparation for such an event, anu it
will take time to place the project be
fore the turfmen of both the Old and
New Worlds.
The conditions of the race have not
been fully determined upon, but It has
been decided to make it as nearly as
possible a combination of the Stallion
stakes of the Westchester Racing asso
elation, and the Futurity of the Coney
Island Jockey club. To Induce owners
to train their horses for so long a dis
tance. It is not only necessary that a
big purse be hung up, but also that a
large number of races be arranged, at
shorter distances.
It Is believed that a series of stake
events, varying from $1,500 tt $15,000.
would induce the owners of the best
horses in this country to train for the
events, and would prove sufficient
monetary value to Induce the owners
of stallions and mares on the other
side of the ocean to enter them, if for
no other purpose than to create an
American demand for the foals of the
horses so entered.
When the preliminaries necessary to
the successful carylng out of this stu
pendous scheme are completed and the
conditions are finally settled upon, Mr.
Engeman proposes to send agents to
Europe to explain In person the great
advantage of the race to the present
owners of foreign breeding farms.
studs, stallions and mares, anil it is
confidentially expected that the result
will be a record-breaking list of en
tries. Mr. Snss, tho secretary of Uic asso
ciation, said In reference to the scheme:
It looks on paer to be such a tremen
dous scheme as to be well nigh Impos
sible of accomplishment, but when the
matter Is sifted down there is nothing
Impossible In It. The primary object to
be atained Is not so much the best
amount of money to be won as it is
to make It an object to breeders, own
ers anil trainers to produce, buy und
train a class of horses which shall have
the substance and courage to run long
distances, and thus get rid of tho per
nicious short dashes us much as possi
ble. Of course, a big rat e of tills kind
takes a long lime in the preparation.
and we cannot possibly get ready for
the one in question before the fall of
1900."
