twelve straight games the Phillies broke
their losing streak by winnli.tr the first
contest from Clnclni.atl this afternoon.
Tho gamo was marked by constant
wrangling during which several of tho
visitors were fined and Ehret. who suc
ceeded Dwjct In tho second inning, was
retired to tho bench. Tho Phillies won
principally through tho battery errors of
tho Cincinnati!?. Breltcnoteln had tho lo

the eighth Inning, when they bunched four
hits. Filleld was very efftctlvo except In
the Innings In which tho Reds made their
runs. Attendance, 4,203. Stores:

SOME FACTS ABOUT
THE BICYCLE GEAR
Many Predict a Radical Change from tbc
Wheel of Today.
PERFECTION MAS NOT DEEN REACHED
l'rcsont Stylo of Irnmo to Stand the
Test of Several Years tint Thcro Will
Ilo Constant Clinngo In tho Lino ot
I)otnll--Mcchnnlcs Studying How
to Do Away with tho Troublesome
Clinln.
Ry many It Is predicted that tho bicy
cle of tho future will be a radical de
parture from tho wheel of today. Aa
near perfect as the wheel of today mny
be, It Is not bo perfect that Improve
ments cannot be made In It. This lias
been the invariable rule of mechanics,
and the bicycle can hardly prove an
exception. Ptlmulated by tlm demand
of tho public for something better, tho
n'nnufncturers will endeavor to put an
article on tho market to meet the popu
lar taste. As it seems at present, there
13 no need for any Improvement, yet
there are many who are demanding
something unique and novel in tho line
of bicycle construction, and the manu
facturers find It a lucrative Investment
to gratify the whims of this class.
Tho diamond frame has been recog
nized as the strongest combination that
could be made for bicycle construction.
It has stood the test well, but now tho
demand Is for something different. Ac
cordingly the triangle or pyramid
frame wheel has made its appearance.
It may be several years ahead of Its
day, as popular fancy has not taken to
that style of construction as yet. This
is only ono of tho most prominent de
partures from tho present style of bi
cycle frames. There are Innumerable
designs on tho market, but they are
either lacking in some qualities, or else
do not equil tho present style In weight,
and are therefore objectionable to rid
ers. No cyclist is going back to a
thirty-pound wheel after having pushed
a twenty-pound or twenty-two pound
whejl for stveral yyivs. It would.be a
foolish move, Indeed.
RECENT CHANGES.
Within the past throe or four years
there have been no Improvements In
tho genera' design of t!.e bicycle. The
Improvements that have been made
are mostly In the line of detail, though
In this direction some wonderful strides
have been made. The number of chang
es In this direction are too many to
mention here. The weight of the wheel
has been reducsd to a point undreamed
of four or five years ago, until today
the factor of safety Is the smallest
known In mechanical construction. The
tires have been wonderfully Improved
upon, and the matter of repair brought
Into the hands of all riders.
The tread has been brought down to
a scientific, basis. Tho bearings have
been made as near perfect ns Is possi
ble, though It 13 admitted by all bicycle
experts there Is plenty of rcom for im
provement yet. The bearings have also
been made as iiitur dust pircf as possi
ble, while arrangements for the chain
adjustment have been patented by a
number of people. The cranks and
sprockets have been brought down to
a scientific basis also, and Innumerable
other smaller details have been looked
after, all tending to produce the bicycle
of today. If one make of wheel had all
the Improvements on It we would have
a model bicycle, but as It is tho im
provements are scattered over a num
ber of different makes and as a result
no particular wheel Is perfect.
The latest trend for improvement Is
in the matter of the chain. The Idea in
view lfl to abolish the chain. Two
years or perhaps three years ago a
chalnless wheel made its nrpearanco
on the market, but It did not meet with
popular approval. The chalnless con
sisted of two cog wheels, connected by
a .rod, which took the place of the
chain. It remained one season, but did
not give perfectly satisfactory results,
and as a result has not been seen In

CHAINLESS BICYCLE.
The movement for a chalnless bicy
cle Is now stronger than ever, nnd many
nrnrtlpt that th( chalnlfss 'wheel will
be tho bicycle ot the future. This may
be true. It Is understood that one of
the largest bicycle manufacturing con
cerns on the market Is making arrange
ments to turn out a chalnless wheel for
next season. If such a wheel does
make Its. appearance the chances are
that the price of bicycles will revert to
nearly their original price, and the gen
eral public pay for tho novelty In con
struction. The first vear or so of the
chnlnless bicycle, If It does appear, will
be more in the nature of an experiment
than anything else, and tho purchaser
is the one to furnish the experience.
Of tho proposed new gears, one Is
propulsion by means of a cog arrange
ment, and the other by friction. The
latter Is the invention of a St. Louis
bartender. It would seem In the fric
tion chalnless that the wear and tear
on tho tire would be great, and that
the pushing of the bicycle would bo
much harder than with the chain,
though It is claimed that the revolu
tions of the rear wheel are Increased
with lt-s.3 pedaling. The cog chalnless
would require a guard on the rear
wluel, something on the order of a la
dles' wheel, to prevent the clothes of
the rider from being caught and torn
by the large wheel when revolving.

At reduced prices, still continues. We have $100.00 Bicycles ranging in price from
$50.00 to $75.00. You can buy department store bicycles at any price. We have none.
It is bad policy to buy a bicycle that will turn out to be a neck breaker. Remember,
we are the largest dealers in the city, and can offer you better inducements than any
one in the city. Not in business for one year, but here to stay.
