HARPER DID IT.
Ills
Curves Bothered the Canucks.
Manager Griffin Became 111
During the Game.
The Miners turned the trick on tho
Canucks jesterday In a game that
mlRht hae liron a shut-out for the
visitors, but for the sudden Illness of
Manager Grlflln, who v,a playing Mt
fleld. Harper was pitching the steadiest
and best kind of basw ball, and the
first two Torontonlan hart open re
tired In tho aiJUh with tho !Coie 4-0
In the Miners' faor. Up to that time
only one Blncle had born made off
Harper. Two easy Hies were hit to
short Ipft Held, and tho crowd won
dered why Griffin failed to reach them.
Each netted two bases, and they were
followed by another double down the
left line, when Gunson was culled Into
the game, and went to right field. A
blngle earned the third run of the in
ning, and was followed by errors, by
Beard and Bonner that let the fourth
run in, and tied the tcoro before the
side was retired on a sti lke-out.
Grlflln had meanwhile laid down in
the shade of tho centerfleld fence
when he was seized with a violent vom
iting spell. He had mado the first two
put-outs in the inning, hl second
catch being a dtfllrutt one, nnd made
after a haid run. Up to that time he
had figured prominently In the run
getting and Held woik. The exertion
and tho heat brought on tho dizziness
and nausea which unlltted him to
reach the two llles that should hae
been easy outs, but which went safe
and started the uudesencd run-getting
of the visitors.
In the evening, at St. Charles hotel,
Gilflln was seized with another spell
of -vomiting, but was not butiously ill
later in tho night.
But the game.
A "HIGH SKY."
One of the rare and dreaded "high
skies" was experienced yesteiday and
that accounts for at least four of tho
0 errors by the two teams. Not a cloud
was lslble and under cprtaln condi
tions it was a player with a mighty
good "sun eye" who could tell whether
a 1 all hit high in the air wa3 20 or 40
feet abeve his head.
Eliminating the sixth Inning when,
aecerdlng to fair leasonlng, tho Ca
nucks were not entitled to one of their
four hits. Harper pitched a wonderful
1 el"er game. Outside that one dis
astrous chapter, only two scattered
lilts, . single In the first and a double
in the fourth, were secured by tho
visiters and In four innings they went
down In one-two-threc order.
A missed grounder by Bonnor, an
other by Magulre and a base on balls
mixed In developed a bcoie In the sec
ond but force hits letlred the side and
three weie on bass at the finish. That
was the only show the- Canucks had in
the whole game excepting the fourth
Inning.
Beard and BonnQr, djsplto their er
rors, bore the brunt of the difficult work
and their hitting together with that of
Griffin, O'Brien, "V altera and Massey,
won tho game.
Bases on balls to O'Brien and singles
by Beard, Grlflln and Bonner develop
ed two runs in tho first inning. Two
more came In tho sixth on Beard's
double, Lushes wild throw, following
Orlflln's force hit, and Bonner's -single.
WAITEHS' TIMELY TRIPLE.
With the eccro a tie, 4-4, O'Brien
opened tho seventh with a single and
caine homo on Walter's triple to left
center. Bonner was first at bat in tho
eighth and hit to tho fence at left-cen-tsr
for three bases atid scored on Maa
fcey's fly to left field. The run was
earned on Magulro's single. Beard's
double, White's muff, with two out,
and Massey'8 single scored tho seventh
run in the ninth.

BOOMING THE MEET.
L. A. W. Officials Untiring in Tbclr
Work for the Big Gathering
in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, July 8 Chairman Bur
ley Ayers, of the Transportation com
mittee of the Leaguo of American
Wheelmen, who Is located In Chirngo,
Is making very complete arrangements
for transporting a big crowd of Wes
terners to this city on the occasion of
tho National meet, which will be held
hero August 4-7 Inclusive. Since the
news was Unshed over the country
that the "97 Meet Executive committee
hnel secureel a one-fat c-for-the-round-trlp
rato from nil points east of St
Louis to Philadelphia, League mem
bers all through tho West have been
laying their plans at attend tho meet.
As one of tho local A. C. C. officials
ieoently remarked: "This liberal con
cession on the part of the railroads
means a vastly Increased attendance,
nnd tho bulk of the Increase will come
from tho section of countiy west of
Pittsburg."
An Idea of Mr. Ayers' methods of
booming the meet In this section may
be liael from, tho following extract of a
recent repot t of tho L A. W. Trans
portation committee It rends:
"On the meet ejuestlon we are co
operating with the entertainment com
mittee at Philadelphia. A programme
of time tables to the meet will be pre
paied, beginning at the Rockies and
tunning over tho several popular
popular routes.
IN THE "PUSH."
"Through trains from all sections will
be so denoted that cyclists alone or In
parties any w net e along the rou'os,
from all sections of the countrv, will
know what patties from beyond are mi
cettaln trains, and will Join them at the
olg or way stations and bo ore of tha

BICYCLE BRIEFS.
Vermont now punishes bicycle thieves
by a two-year sentence In btate pris
on. This Is a more severe punishment
than any other state Inflicts.
For long-distance or long-time rides
a drinking device Is to be attached to
tho wheel, consisting of a reservoir to
hold the water, with a flexible tube
fastened to a frame over the handle
bar extending to the reservoir, thus
mnklng it unnecessary for the rider to
dismount when thirsty.
Smoking lamps are about the most
nnnoylng things cyclists have to deal
with, and theie are many things to
blame for them. Those who have tried
many ways of preventing smoking
w Ithout avail should bore a hole In the
bottom of the lamp, in order to allow
more air to reach the flame.
Dry batteries are used In a new bi
cycle lamp, two cells being set side
by side In a case having a small In
candescent light In the front, surround
ed by a cone-shaped reflector, the light
being tuined on and off by a button.
In a new bicycle tire a combination
of the old cushion and pneumatic tire
is used, the cushion being molded Into
tho tread of the tiro and backed by
the pneumatic pressure, only the cush
ion coming in contact with the road
"It Is not difficult to understand,"
says an old rider, "why cycling Is oust
ing walking as an exercise. An aver
age pedestrian covers about thirty
Inches to each step. The average
wheelman by on9 revolution of his ped
als (which is equivalent to a step) cov
ers about seventeen feet, and as the
movement Is so easy and devoid of
fatigue, 1ip usually raises his foot
twice as often in tho same time, thus
covering thirty-four feet while the ped
estrian goes twosind a half feet,"
Five hundied cubic Inches of air are
consumed bv the average man per min
ute when at lest, but let him ride at
the rato of nine miles an Hour and tho
nlr consumption per mlnuto Increases
to 1,600 cubic inches; Increase tho
speed to twelvo miles nn hour, and tho
consumption goes up to 2,300, while at
eighteen miles nn hour tha rider hna
increased his air consumption to 3,000
cublo inches for every mlnuto ho trav

of gears Is merely a matter of choice.
It depends whether a rider Is physic

Few track racing men use very high
gears.
