FREE HITTING GAME.
Miners Pounded Hudson to the Bench
and Were Killing Braun When
the Qam.' Ended.
They ticated Ilo'dson shamefully, the
Miners did. Hodson, or "Hoddy," as
we famllloily called him when he drew
one-forty per and was glad to get It
In the Pennsylvania State league, was
touched for singles and doubles with
nich alarming frequency in the third
Inning that he was thankful to escape
from the box and give way to Braun.
Uraun, too, had reason to be sorry he
was living and was hit eight times
before the came ended with the score
13-8 In the Miners' favor.
Trouble for "Hoddy" was indicated
in the second when the Miners earned
nrunon Massey's two-bagger and Bon
ner's single. Hut there was no mistake
about it In the third when O'Brien
drew four wide ones and, after Beard
went out at (list, scored on Daly's
double sockdolager to right center.
"Please take me out," looked Hoddy
ns ho directed bis gaze toward Manag
er Murray on the visitors' bench.
But Murray's head and face were
concealed by his coat collar and he
didn't see the appeal. BangT we,nt
Massey's stick against the ball and
away it sailed, onto to stop when it
knocked a two-by-eight plank out of
the fence at left center.
POOR HODDY.
"O, pleUsc take me out please do"
moaned Hoddy as Dily saunteied
home. Murray cither wouldn't or
couldn't see his twlrler's gaze of an
guish. Pang! bang! bang! Bonner, Ma
guire. Boyd three more runs errors
by Lyons and Drauby accompanying
ih'e artillery lire.
"O-o, ch, Mr. Murray, MB. MUR
RAY, have you no mercy' For the
sake of my family, friends and reputa
tion PLL'AFR take ine out!" begged
I teddy.
Murray yielded. Coosran had been
coaxing and coddling the unfortunate
pitcher until his own eyes began to
water. He looked toward the bench
mid. receiving a sign from Murray,
nodded to Hoddy to get hence. Hoddy
Btnggered oft tlio diamond and was re
placed by Braun, a young man whose
distinctive characteristic is a shock ot
silver hair. He may be a pitcher wor
thy to travel in company with the
rhamplons but four of the five runs on
him in the last live Innings were earn
ed. It was the most unfavorable kind ot
weather. The air was cold and a stilt
noith wind was blowing making It de
cidedly uncomfortable for the eight
hundred spectators present.
'Harper was due to pitch for the
Miners, but Wellner was put In at the
last moment. For five innings only
three lilts were made oft him, but they
produced no runs. One hit was a three
baser In tho second by Drauby, which
Kagan misjudged and let go over his
head, but the smash was not costly as
Drauby was tho fag end of a fast
double play at the plate by Magulre,
Massey and Boyd after one was out.
The two Providence hits in the fourth
put runners on first and third with
one out, and the side, was retired on
Wellness striking out of Drauby and
Coonty's fly to O'Brien.
GRAYS BEGIN TO SCOUR.
The. Grays began to score In the sixth
by batting In three iuns with two out
after Beard had muffed Knight's fly
back pf third. Tho error was made on
a derperate chance, and after a long1
run. v
A base on balls, n passed ball and
three nlngles gave the Grays two In
the seventh. They tallied thre? In the
ninth on Beard's error, a single, a walk
and two singles.
After sending Hodson to cover nnd
giving Braun a lively rccrptlon In the
third, tho Miners kept cteadlly at their
stick work, and at the finish had piled
;p thirteen runs, nlno of which were
etirned.
Excepting a flno running catch by
O'Brien tho field playing was without
special feature. Bonner made four
singles out of five times at bat, Mas
pey had three doubles and Daly two
doiiblm and a single. Drauby made
two triples and Welgand n double and
two singles for tho Grays.

JACOB G. GAUDAUR.
Champion Sculler of World Matched
to Row Rogers This Month.
Gaudaur was born April 14, 18.58, In
Orllla, a small village In Canada, ttbout"
eighty miles from Toronto. Ills early
life was passed on a farm , and his first
experience as an oarsman Was gained
In rowing a big old-fashioned skint ad
jacent to his parents' home. He never
sat In a shell until the summer of 1878,
when he went to Sturgeon Point to wit
ness a regatta,
J. Carroll, of Boston, saw him there
pulling a skiff, and remarked upon the
good form ho was showing. Thla ob
servation was heard by a Mr. Ross,
who at onco declared ho would gladly
pay anybody who "would teach' Gaudaur
the principles of scientific sculling.
Carroll engaged to do this, began his
task directly, and at the end of a
week Gaudaur, who proved an apt pu
pil, was shaping In quite a good style.
His progress was so marked that ho
was entered In a professional regatta
the following summer at Providence,
R. I., where, in a big field ot good 'uns,
ho finished third to AYallace Rcss.
Returning home, Gaudaur Indulged
In a number of minor contests, but was
not contented, nnd In 18S2 determined
to remove to the states, selecting as his
residence St. Louis, Mo. Tho great
race of Gaudaur's life was roweil on
the Thames on Sept. 18. 1880, when ho
met William Beach. That was un
doubtedly, the finest struggle ever wit
nessed for the clmmplonshlp. Odds of
5 to I wero laid on Beach, who ap
peared to have a cinch, but was easily
beaten by Gaudaur, who was given a
blc ivcentlon when he returned home,

PLANNING FOR THE

Philadelphia, Slay 21. The Hotel and
Accommodations committee of the L.
A. W. national meet, which will be
held In Philadelphia August 4-7, Is now
In a position to give detailed Informa
tion regarding accommodations during
the week of the meet. Chairman W. P.
Street has been hard nt work for tho
past two weeks gathering the neces
sary pointers, and, although the meet
Is more than ten weeks off, the Inquir
ies are so numerous as to fully Justify
the Executive Committee's claim that
upwards) of 20,000 out-of-town cyclers
will visit this city the first week of Au
gust". Hence It Is advisable that those
who contemplate coming to Philadel
phia during the meet should communi
cate with the Hotel Committee ns soon
as possible, In order that their quar
ters may be assigned them nt once.
Regular attendants at former League
meets have doubtless experienced the
discomforts attendant upon fceeurlng
quarters at. the lost mlnut, nnd It is
with a desire to obviate u repetition
of this Inconvenience that Chairman
Street urges prospective visitors to
communicate with him Immediately.
He has on his list 53 hotels (offering a
wide range of choice, suitable to poc
ketbooks ot every conceivable calibre)
on both the American and European
plans In addition to quite' a number
of nrst-class boarding houses.
The Press Committee has In prepara
tion a series of views of the riding dis
trict roundabout Philadelphia, which
It is proposed to supply weekly to nil
cycling and other papers In all sections
of the country which may express a
desire to use them. By this means It Is
hoped to give the outside cycling world
some Idea of the pleasures in store In
this conneotion for those who may be
so fortunate as do attend next August's
meet. Letters recently received at
these headquarters warrant the belief
that not a few of next August's visi
tors are coming here with the sole
purpose of exploring tho beauties of the
famous Philadelphia riding district,
and to such these views cannot fall to
be of Immense Interest. Famous re
Forts and historical spots on the Lan
caster Pike, Old York Road, Wlssa
hickon Drive and the numerous other
pikes leading out of the city in oil di
rections will be shown along with
not a few pictures that will coney
nn Idea of tho excellent paving with
which the City of Brotherly Love Is
blessed. All ithe above mentioned
pikes, drives and country roads can be
readied over streets paved with as
phalt, and this alone Is a bleslng of
which but few American cities can
boast.
Members of the Century Road club
of America who attend the meet will
find here a large coterie of the most
enthusiastic long-distance road riders
in the land. Through the efforts of
these gentlemen the Quaker City cap
itured the cream of the Century Road
club's '9G honors; and it present Indi
cations go for anything they will be
heard from also at the end of this year.
These "pluggers" are Just now consid
ering the advisability of arranging
some form of entertainment for the
visiting "pluggers" during the week
of the meet. Their programme will
very likely Include some "pleasant" all
day Jaunts over their favorite stamping
grounds In South Jersey and Pennsyl
vania. It is quite probable that some
of the local Century Road club repre
sentatives will be given places- on tho
tours and runs committee, as the Itin
erary of that body will Include several
long runs. This committee, by the
way, will be mainly made up of club
captains, who, from their knowledge
of the roads and needs of the riders,
are best equipped to make a success of
this part of the entertainment. The
managers of the meet realize that upon
the selection of the tours and runs In
connection with tho meet depends to a
considerable extent the enjoyment of
a large proportion of the visitors, and
every effort will be made to make this
feature as enjoyable as possible.
Willow Grove track, where the
League of American Wheelmen cham
pionships will be run off on, Is being
rapidly put Into shape for the first race
meet of the season, which will be held
on Saturday, May 29. Comfortable
seating accommodations for 12,500 peo
ple, with stnndlnir room for half as
many more, are being put up, the train
ing quartera are being enlarged and
the entire track Is inclosed with a fence
so high that It acts as a wind shield.
Members of the Leaguo of Ameri
can Wheelmen, be they from the north,
south, east or west, will be enabled to
carry their bicycles with them on any
train without being compelled to pay
a considerable charge therefor. The
recent action of the Trunk Line asso
ciation abolishing the unjust baggage
fee for bicycles accompanied by own
ers will undoubtedly be followed by
similar action by the Western Passen
ger Trafllo associations long before
the date set for tho opening of the
meet.
ONE ON FREEDMAN.
Signed n Crazy Pitcher nnd Sen; Ir
win to 1'ind lllni.
Hero Is one on Freedman from Ar
thur Irwin; "One of Freedman'p draw
backs was that he was always discov
ering nnd signing pheiioms, recom
mended by friends. One of these phe
noms was a German from Newark
named Otto. I Inquired among the
Newark players if they had ever heard
of Otto, and they pleaded not guilty.
But Freedman had him on a contract,
at a salary of $1,200.
"Otto failed to turn up at the Polo
grounds for practice, and Freedman
sent me to his home In Newark. There
I found that Otto had been locked up
In an Insane asylum that morning for
throwing rocks through windows, nnd
hitting a child with a section ot n
brick. He Imagined he was pitching
for the Giants, Ills family told mo
that hu had been pitching for an ama
teur team, that ho was stuck on being
a pitcher, and had shown symptoms of
a few cogs shy In his wheel gearing.
He was placed In Bloomlngdale and
pronounced insane by the physicians.

to. Why didn't I bring1 him nlonu? I
Informed Andy that Otto might make
a specialty out of hitting tho batters
with the ball. ThSt he had located the
head of a party In Newnrk with a
missile. Freedman, In his nervous,
Impulslvo way, didn't hear tho finish
of my story. "That's Just tho kind of
a pitcher we want against that Chi
cago team of sluggers. If they nre
hit with tho ball a few times they will
bo nfrald of him and strike out,' ho
added, lifter which I added:
" 'Rut I am golntr to give him his
release it I can get It Into the place
where they have him locked up. Then
I explained that Otto was In Dloom

GREAT MEN ON GOOD ROADS.
Washington Is noted for Its flno streets
and tho surrounding country abounds
with excellent roads. Visitor to the Na
tional capital aro suro to be Impressed
with the- difference botwecn these, roads
and thoso In otner parts ot tho country.
This may account. In part, for the fact
that tho movement for good roads has so
many friends among our public men at
Washington. Hon. Matthew S. Quay,
United States senator from Pennsylvania,
Is one of these. Llko most successful poli
ticians, he makes the wants, needs and
wishes ot the people a constant study. Mr,
Quay has learned thoroughly to appre
ciate the great value of good roads to far
mer, and tho many conveniences they
would brine to all classo ot people. "I
know that good roads are good for my
farmer constituents,' writes Senator
Quay, In a recent letter commending the
work of tho League of American Wheel
men, "and what Is good for them Is good
for all other classes of cttlznns. Hence
I am In hearty sympathy with the Leaguo
or American Wheelmen In Its efforts In
behalf of good roads, and beliovo that the
movement must be successful,"
Ex-President Benjamin Harrison, too,
believes In tho effort for better highways.
"I am in thorough sympathy with the
good roads movement," writes Mr. Harri
son, probably recollecting the contrast be
tween Washington roads and some ot the
roads In Indiana.
Hon. Anthony Hlgglns, of Delaware,
noted for many years as a loader In tho
United States senate, says: "I havo a
great Interest In good roads, and like near
ly all cltlzenr, I am glad to see that in
terest promoted."
The late Jerry Rusk, while secretary ot
agriculture in President Harrison's cabi
net, declared: "The city Is almost as
much Interested In getting good roads as
the country. Good roads Is a movement by
tho people and for the people."
Nearly tweLty yenrs ngo, General Grant,
In enumerating necessary lines of public
Improvement, named the public schools
and the highways. Once when he und
Geneial Shcildnn wer In a reminiscent
mood, the old commander said to Little
Phil, speaking of th& letter's famous rldo
to the bottle of Cedar Creek: "Sheridan,
It that battle had taken place after a pro
longed rain, and there'had not been a good
plko from Winchester, you 'would never
havo been promoted to the head of the
United States army. You would not have
leached the battle field to cheer your men,
nnd thero would havo been a great defeat
for tho Union forces Instead of a great
victory. That would have left Meade and
Thomas a long dlstanco ahead of you in
tho line of promotion."
I am reminded of this comment by a let
ter from his son, Colonel Fredrick D.
Grant, until recently one of the ppllco
commissioners of Mew York. Colonel
Grant writes of the good roads movement:
"The sentiment of Uie nation Is almost
unanimous In favor of good loads. Good
roads Improve the appearance of the
country, enhance the value of all classes
of property, facilitate tho movement of
products, and aie from evory point a
public benefit. I have no doubt that the
efforts of tho Leaguo of American Wheel
men," and he Is a wheelman himself, "to
gether with the efforts of the numerous
other classes busily engaged In that direc
tion, will bring about a system of good
roads." Otto Dorner.
GOOD ROAD NOTES.
According to1 General Stone, of the Agri
cultural department, who has twice ad
dressed Scranton board of trade audiences
recently, every wheelman Is a preacher, u
worker and a lighter for good roads. It
is only necessary to furnish him texts for
