A circular letter, signed by William
S. McLean, Isaac P. Hand and II. J.
Dcnnln, a committee of the directors
of the Wllkes-Barre base ball club, has
been sent to the numerous friends of
the ball club asking contributions to
keep the club from disbanding.
The nows of the danger to the club
should arouse all lovers of the national
game and bring material aid to the
directors wh'o nre struggling against
bad weather and hard times, endeavor
ing to koeP the club in the league de
spite the discouraging prospects.
President McLean of the club stated
to a Times reporter today that the
liabilities of the club Is 13,600, the as
sets but $800, leaving the net Indebt
edness $2,800. The team will return
home from Its trip on Wednesday next,
June 16th, and Mr. McLean, say3 that
unless the $2,800 Is raised by Wednes
day, the club will have to disband.
The committee of directors will make
a personal nppeal to the friends of the
club and should be given liberal finan
cial encouragement. Every dollar
counts and all who can should rally
to the support of the club and free It
from the financial difficulties that hin
der It from playing winning ball. Don't
wnlt until the committee seeks you
out but send your check at once and
encourage them In their unselfish de
sire to keep th club here. Wllkes

Tho Scranton Base Ball club will

that afternoon will play Providence
a postponed game at the park. James

of tho finds for next season. Cham
berlain prefers Clymer to the much
touted Gray. Pittsburg News.
All tho players who have met Sock
nlexls In games agree that ho is a
wonder. "Why," said Ewlnc, "ha

cinnati that I ever have seen. Far out
In right center he pulled down a hit
that looked as good for three bases
as It did for one, and scarcely going
three steps further he turned and
throw the ball on a line Into Ztmmer's
hands at tho plate. None of them can
throw with him."

SOME BICYCLE CHAT

ATHLETIC FEATS ON THE
WHEEL
Hiding n Tight Ilopo Is Ilcnlly n
Commonplace Trick --Something
New About Pedals nnd tho Foot.
New System for ltcpnirlng n Single
Tiibc-Uicyclo Mechanic's Views
on tho '07 Whocl--CyclliiK from a
Mcdlcnl Standpoint.
Athletic feats on bicycles aro becom
ing common. Nearly every circus has
Its riders who traverse a tlcht rono
mounted upon wheels. Tho feat is not
as difficult as it (wems, as the wheels
are generally fitted with a grooved
tire fitting the rope snugly. Nerve and
a fXlr degree of skill are almost all
the requirements for such exploits.
Several years ego a bicyclist crossed
Nlatrara river, Just below the falls,
on a tight rope. The show was com
monplace, however, and attracted lit
tle attention. "Shooting: tho chutes"
on
a wheel has Veen a nerformnnr-o
that
attracted considerable r.otlco
hero last year. Starting from a level
piatrorm, the rider strikes the incline,
which Is made slippery with a constant
flow of water, ond glides downward a
dlstanci of 300 fe;t to an artificial
pond on the ground level. Hero the
wheel balks and the rldor takes a
"header" Into the writer and emerges
unarmed. There Is a very simple trick
In this performance which any ono
may learn in a half dozen, trials. Haz
ardous though It may appear to the
uninitiated, It Is really attended with
little risk of Injury to an active man
or woman. It is a catchy perform
ance. Almost every bicycler believes that
as ho rides his wheel his foot swings
backward with the pedal. He thinks
his feet describe a series of circles, fol
lowing the pedals around, and hat
they move backward and forward Just
as much cm they move up and down.
This, It has now been found by careful
measurement, Is quite a mistake.
from the time you mount your wheel
until you dismount your feet never
move backwaid. They are constantly
moving forward, not In circles, but
In a series of curves. The reason for
this is that as your foot swings under
the crank shaft tho bloycle moves for
ward much more rapidly than the ped
al swings back. The result Is a con
stant forward movement. While your
foot moves backward In relation to
your body, yet it moves more rapidly
than the pedal swings back. The re
Hult Is a constant forward movement.
While your foot move3 backward In
relation to your body, yet it moves
more rapidly forward In relation to
the ground. It has been, found by
testing a bicycle with ordinary gear
that the wheels make two and one
quarter revolutions to one revolution
of the pedals. If the bicycle were sus
pended In the air your feet would
move backward Just as much as it
moved forward, and upward to Just
the extent that It moved downward,
In describing a serfes of perfect cir
cles, but in relation to the ground or
any fixed point neither on of your feet
moves backward from the time you
start your bicycle until you stop.
"Physiology and Pathology of Cyc
ling" was the subject of discussion of
the meeting of the medical session of
the Buffalo Academy of Medicine re
cently. The consensus of. opinion of
the physicians assembled seemed to be
that the wheel Is an aid to mankind,
not a detriment, If used In moderation.
Cycling was pronounced beneficial to
the nervous system and an aid to the
lungs and digestive organs. The prac
titioners who spoke did not make rash
statements to this effect, but gave
striking examples of the evils of over
indulgence In cycling, principally by
weak subjects. Hiding Just before and
Immediately after meals was con
demned. Dr. Woods Hutchinson gave
a little talk on his observations. He
was closely connected with a gymnas
ium in the west at the opening of the
bicycling craze and shared In the pre
judice against wheeling at the start,
especially in the case of the growing
boy. The chief objections, to his mind,
were the "monkey-on-a-stlck" position,
the fast pace maintained without prep
aration by training, and rivalry that
led up to extra exertion to outdo oth
ers. Constant study since that early
period had demonstrated that a grad
ual change has come over the relations
of wheel and rider. The question of
the wheel was not so much the prin
cipal thing as tho physical condition
and abilities of the rider. The old
humped position had, In the majority
of cases, given place to the easier, more
healthful position on the saddle, and
the effect of cycling pursued under ex
isting reforms was to elevate the grade
of physical form. All the doctors cau
tioned expressly against scorching,
sprinting and long distance rides by
those not prepared by training for such
work. One and all agreed that cycle
racing probably taxed the system to
a greater extent than any other branch
of sport, boxing, wrestling and others
Included. There was no reason why

NATIONAL LEAGUE PHEN0MS.
Undo Anson nnd Wngnor Discuss nil
Interesting Subject.
Earl Wagner and Undo Anson
waxed statistical at the Arlington In a
post supper chat recently. Spake Un
cle: "I tell you what It is, Earl, theso
lnfleldets are as scarce as an I. O. U.
1n Jack Glasscock's securities. Since
89 the Chicago club has thrown away
$30,000 In Investing coin in minor league
experiments nnd phenoms. It was in
the fall of 'S3 that Pfeffer left us for
that busted bubbte, the Brotherhood.
I Immediately began to spar for a seo
ond baseman nnd have been sparing
oft and on ever since.
"I have signed and released enjough
lnflelders Blncc '89 to boom the pop
ulation of a ono night stand. But In
Pfeffer and Connor, I am fixed for tho
sort of Intlcjder that Is strong enough
to travel with your Uncle's Colts."
Wagner then reminded Uncle that but
five lnflelders have been developed
since '88 by the major League clubs.
Quoth Earl: "Of course, you are fig
uring that Connor Is clever enough to
entitle him to credentials In the swellest
baseball society.. But I have fre
quently observed that a ball player
must have at least a season and a half
In the big Legue before he Is given
the credentials that keep him In the
nnnpr hafiphAll tftndom- This, of
course, applies especially to pitchers.
Tho five lnflelders that have been
brought out In the past five years are
Collins, of Boston; Wallace, of Cleve
land; McGraw, of Baltimore, and De
Montrevllle and Wrigley, of Washing
ton. Though Wrigley .has been In tho
major League less than six months,
his playing has been of such a fast or
der that there Is no doubt of his ability
to stay. McGraw played In Baltimore
long before '92, but he wasn't used as
an lnflelder till '92.
Since '92 I have spent $20,000, and lost
scores of games before the advent of
De Montrevllle and Wrigley. Thus tho
the public can appreciate the search,
worry and expenditure that are Involved-
In building up a ball club. Ed
Hanlon, of course, deserves credit for
building his castle on a throne cf sand,
so to speak, but who can say that tho
gladsome hand of Fortune hasn't
tickled the. palm of Hanlon. There Is
Jennings. He was signed by Hanlon,
because the Louisville club decided
that Hughey's arm was out of gear.
Hanlon took a chance on Jennings
and there you are."
