DETAILED AND STRINGENT Be Believe the Roles Are the Best Aow Enforced ly Any College Athletic Committee Objec- tiouable Featnrea In Col-leare Ball. The new eligibility code recently established by the University of Pennsylvania to govern its athletics is exhaustive and thorough. It deals effectively with every known means the athletic transgressor has hitherto employed to give him specious standing.

Certainly, if Its nrnvfsinns are pnfnrwrt hv thp Ath letic Committee, there will not again be occasion to question the amateur status Of any man on Pennsylvania's teams or crews. The rules demand one academic year's residence at the university and attainment of the prescribed standing of scholarship of those that have ever played in an intercollegiate contest upon any team of any other college or university; "dropped" students are barred, as are those not in good class standing; no student may represent the university In more than one branch of sport in a single academic year; teams may not play on other than college grounds, or compete with non-collegiate teams or -crews without special permission; "club amateurs" and "summer-resort baseball" players are proscribed. Altogether the rules are the most detailed and stringent of any now in force in collegiate athletics. The one criticism to be made is that the preliminary football practice should have been entirely abolished, instead of being limited to "three weeks." I am very much opposed to these preliminary seasons in any sport; they give the men more physical work than they actually require; they invest the game with too much importance. More than anything else, besides large gate re- ceipts, they envelope the sport in too much of a business atmosphere.

Not all the rules in Christendom will put sport on a healthful plane In our universities until we have cultivated a spirit of sport for mere sport's sake, and we will never inculcate that spirit until we have done away with the "business" of making winning teams. What a sad reflection upon our sportsmanship is all this elaborate provision against professionalism against lying and dishonesty, in other words! Tc think that our college men's pledge of honor snouli not be all-sufficient! Nor is It gratifying to realize that the necessity for this maze of intricate legislation has bsan created in the main by alumni of our universities. Yet such 13 the fact. If alumni had been as enthusiastic in establishing long ago a standard of honor, as they were in turning out winning teams, we should not now have the movements of our college athletes shadowed like those cf the veriest bunco-steerer; The pity of it, that truth and fair play should have given place to de-celt and everything to win! What we need now, to our shame be It said, is a standard of honor that will need no rules for guidance; the inculcation of a spirit of manly, fair play at our schools and colleges a spirit that scorns to take undue advantage of an opponent. This is the work that schoolmasters and college faculties and parents and alumni can do.

And the -nssd- for such -worfc has all come about through our feverish desire 1 to win, our excessive training, our large gate receipts, our preliminary practice seasons. and our unsportsmanlike alumni. One of the results of this professional tendency is evidenced' in the character of the coaching in vogue at the base ball games of our universities in the last few years. I venture to say that such horse play may not be seen nor such "muck-erish" slang heard at any professional base ball game in the "United States as has been exhibited at the of Pennsylvania base ball games in the last three years. Can nothing be done to relieve us of the altogether disgusting exhibition? If these outrageous performances do not come within the jurisdiction of the university faculty athletic committees, I like to ask, what do? Here is a change, not for rules, but for insistence upon a spirit of fair play which will correct the spectators' impression of the college nines being membered by hood lums, rather than by gentlemen, trince-ton has a great opportunity this year to set an example.

Her first games with Harvard and Yale are both on home grounds. Shall we see the usual exhibition of "muckerism," or shall we leave the field feeling that at least we have attended the sport of gentlemen? The Princeton faculty and athletic alum- ni and' Captain Bradley have a joint responsibility, for which they will be held accountable. Another objectionable feature of collegiate base ball, and in direct line with the hoodlumish slanging at match games Js the employment of professional base ball coaches. By what conception the professional attains a place in college sport other than that of trainer I am sure- sportsmen would be glad to learn from the universities that employ him. To my way of looking at the matter, the practice is most menacing.

Two universities already have professional coaches for their crews; nearly all of them have prof essionals for their base ball nines; in time who knows? perhaps professionals will also take over football. The employment of the professional destroys all college sentiment and tradition. It is harmful. It is again intensifying that dreaded "business" atmosphere. It is introducing a corrupting element vide the present rowdy, ungentlemanly and unsportsmanly behavior of our college nines.

In base ball these professionals take absolute charge of the nines; what is the natural result of a nine developed under such influence? I Harvard is this year more offensive 820 ARCH STREET Bars FOR CYCLERS' BENEFIT Good Results That Have Been. Accomplished by Organized Wheelmen. The activity shown by the officials of the Pennsylvania Division of the League of American Wheelmen this year has already resulted in a most satisfactory increase in membership and a far larger percentage of renewals of old members than in any previous year. This, of course, is extremely gratifying, and as there are so many additional advantages offered to members this year there is every reason to hope that by the end of 181HJ the membership roll will be more than doubled. Membership In the League is something which every rider of a bicycle owes to himself.

It is an organization to promote the general Interests of cycling, to ascertain, defend and protect the rights of wheelmen, to regulate and govern all branches of the sport and to secure improvements in the highways of the country and create ah active public sentiment in favor of road improvement. It Is the duty of a cycler to belong to the organization, not only for the personal benefits, but because of the advantages which he is enjoying to-day that were secured through the influence of the League, and made possible only by the fact that wheelmen In past years gave it their moral and financial support. Ever since 1880 the League has been the guardian of wheelmen's interests all over the country, and the good which it has accomplished can scarcely be estimated. Through its influence laws were pasi-ed establishing the rights of wheelmen on the roads, riders were protected legally in suits brought for damage cases and every necessary step was taken to establish the rights of cyclers in the early days. There is no longer the same necessity for work, but in the Pennsylvania Division alone, during the past year, there have been a large number of cases settled by Chief Consul Boyle for members who in every case received full satisfaction from care-lebs drivers and others who had been responsible for accidents and damaged wheels.

The splendid victory just won in the New York State Legislature, compelling the railroad companies, to carry bicycles as baggage free of charge when accompanied by the owner, was solely the work of the League, and this is to be followed up by 6imilar action in other States. This and many other movements which the organization has in view are of benefit to all wheelmen, whether members or not, and any rider who is not a member is enjoying privileges which are paid for by others. Membership, including the weekly official organ, cost but $1 per year. Each member receives a handsome leather bound road book (obtainable nowhere at any nrice. which srives over 200 cycling routes in Pennsylvania and neigh boring States as well as the principal through routes across the country.

It gives the distance between towns, tells the condition of the roads and gives much other valuable information to any rider whether he contemplates a day's outing or a three months' tour. He also fets- a new and revised road map of the tate on an enlarged scale, printed on bona paper, which is or great value to any cycler. Every member is guaranteed full le gal protection (without cost) in case of tho infringement of his or her rights as a cyclist on the road or railroads or elsewhere. The Pennsylvania Division has never lost a single case of this kind in the courts. When touring he gets special rates at hotels, and his membership ticket is an introduction to the local officials in every town he passes through if he de sires, information on the condition of the roads or any other point.

There are other advantages too numerous to mention, and when all are taken into account a most forcible argument is presented for every rider of a wheel to become a member. Full information regarding the League, its objects, aims and advantages, can be secured 'by addressing the secrerary- treasurer, FDstotnce box ll(, Philadelphia, to whom all applications for membership should be addressed. Any ama teur cycler, over is years of age. Is eligible to membership upon payment of $1 initiation fee and annual dues. Chief Consul Boyle, of the Pennsylva nia Division League of American Wheel men, desires to appoint a local consul in every town In the State where there is not already such an official, and applications will be acted upon as fast as received.

A special button has been made for local consuls use. Neat artistic hangers bearing pads of L. A. W. literature and application bianks have been prepared by the fenn sylvanla Division and will be furnished to dealers or any member of the organ ization who can secure the display of the same, in any quantity desired, upon application to the secretary-treasurer, Post- oince box in 4, Jf niiaaeipnia.

DON'TSJFOR RIDERS Some Suggestions Dropped by Cham pion Zimmerman. Arthur Zimmerman, In his capacity as a cycling editor, has framed the following "Don't," some of which may be found interesting: Don't expect to accomplish everything In a day. Don't attempt to run down cable or trollev cars. Don't be afraid to ride a diamond-trame wheel. Don't go Into a century run without training for it.

Don't forget that the race is won in the last sprint. Don't begin to ride for at least an hour after meals. Don't occupy more than your own share of the road. Don't drink cold fluids when overheat ed from riding. Don't lack confidence in yourself when learning to ride.

Don't lose sight of the fact that you were once a novice. Don't lose sight of the fact that you must peaal straight. Don't race until you have prepared yourself ror tne strain. Don't think of doing any road riding on your racing maenme. Don't pass a wheelman in distress without offering assistance.

Don't ride so long that you return home thoroughly exhausted. Don't pull all the force of your pedal ing in ine downward pusn. Don wait until you become tired before turning about for home. Don rusn out on tne road before you know how to ride properly. Don blame tne otner fellow for ev ery collision you happen to be in.

Don forget tnat otners have as much right on the road as yourself. Don ride more than a mile at a time if a greater distance tires you. Don try to do too much at the start. particularly If you are a woman. Don't allow your leg to get perfectly straigni at any time wniie riding.

Don nave your saddle so tar to the rear that your position is not easy. Don jump on your wneei and throw yourself down on the damp grass. Don't forget tnere are instructors who will make a competent rider of you. Don tninK you are entitled to anv more of the road than any other rider. Don go out on a long run without being prepared for accidents to the wheel.

Don't think you can get a high-grade wheel for anything but a high-grade price. Don forget that in a collision between a wheel and a wagon the wagon never suiters. Don't drink the common drlnkine water in ine oirrerent towns you pass through. Don't drink cold water. Gargle the throat and rinse the mouth with it when thirsty.

Don't lose signt or the fact that the bicycle is a great developer of physical beauty. Don permit a feeling of nervous a re prehension to affect you when learning to ride. Don't deviate from a regular mode of living. This applies to the track man particularly. Don be arraid or the man who pulls out ahead of you at the beginning of the race.

Don't make any sacrifice to secure lightness of the wheel. Lightness means less rigidity. Don't rail -to remember that those ahead cannot hear you coming unless you ring your bell. Don't imagine you are an expert until you can manage the wheel without put ting your xianas on tne oars. Now the father of the Walters boys is anxious to match his 9-year-old son Paul against 7-year-old John Benner for a third of a mile race for $50 a side.

Very few cracks will ride on the cir cuit in the far West. GENERAL WHEELING MATTERS However great the number of cheap machines finding their way Into the market, there will always be an increasing demand for high grade wheels. The appearance of these cheap wheels. In fact, cannot but help the more expensive ones for several reasons. In the first place, a low-priced bicycle attracts a buyer that would not be a rider otherwise, and consequently increases the number of cyclists.

The chances are that he will become dissatisfied with his mount, and if able to purchase a high grade machine will do so; for, after experiencing the delights of cycling he will naturally obtain the best mount he can afford, while If he could not afford the lower-priced wheel he would not buy a wheel anyway. Then by attracting new riders into the field the effort toward road improvement is increased, which reacts In favor of the cyclist, inducing those to take to wheel- i would not have done so because of the bad roads. The relation of cheap wheels to those of high grade may be illustrated in the case of watches. It is possible to buy a watch that will keep fairly good time for two dollars and a half, but the high grade watch still costs in the vicinity of one hundred dollars, and there has been no noticeable reduction in prices since the introduction of cheap watches. Lower-priced timepieces have simply Increased the number of users of watches, but the man who could afford to buy a good watch would do so anyhow.

"In riding on hot summer days," remarks a noted doctor, "the head should be well protected from the sun, and the back of the neck also. There should be nothing tight about the neck, and the shirt collar should be open in front it possible. I have already alluded to the obsolete idea that cycling produced varicose veins. Tae exact contrary is the truth. Varicose veins can be entirely eured by cycling moderately and sensibly indulged in.

The gentle exercise, while all weight is removed, is the best thing for this complaint; and I have known cases entirely cured where all other remedies have failed. Growing girls and little children should never be allowed to cycle except most moderately. Till the spine is perfectly strong, and the bones have hardened, permanent injury may be produced by spending too much time in the saddle. It is enough to make one shudder to see little children on cycles where they have to bend from side to side, and strain to reach the pedals; or else where their saddles are so low that they palpably exhaust them- selves in their efforts to propel the ma- chine. Parents little know how cruel is their kindness in encouraging their little ones to over-fatigue their backs and limbs." A novel contest has been inaugurated bv the Pope Manufacturing Company.

one of the largest advertisers in the country, for the purpose of ascertaining hnw mnnv different anouncements of Columbia bicycles can reach any one person. It is estimated that what with the advertisements sent out from the main office, and those put out by the thousands of agents all over the coun try, fully 100.00O advertisements or Columbia bicycles must appear during the year. The company has therefore ottered a Columbia bicycle as a prize, valued at $100, to whoever shall send the greatest number of Columbia bicycle advertisements clipped from newspapers or magazines issued since January 1. The contest closes June30, 1S96. and all clippings, each having attached the name and date of the newspaper or magazine from which It is obtained, must be sent in one lot, addressed to the Department of Statistics, Pope Manufacturing Company, Hartford, Conn.

"By taking much thought on the subject of park cycling." says a writer in a woman's journal, "I have come to the conclusion that it is time we came to a definite opinion on the subject of what constitutes good form in wheeling. What would be thought of horsewomen if four or five of them joined hands and careered along the ride at top speed, or of a rider who showed off her proficiency by galloping without stirrups, or holding the reins in her teeth while she pinned up an imaginary stray lock, adjusted a perfectly secure hat, or explored the depth of her saddle-pocket? If such tricks are bad form in a horsewoman, they must be equally so in a cyclist. As the season advances, I hope that these foolish and unladylike exhibitions of trick riding will be frowned upon. A specially dangerous feat is suddenly dismounting, while going at the rate of about seven or eight miles an hour. It may be very clever, but it is most unfair to riders in the rear, and should not be allowed.

Men are as great offenders in these respects as women, for I saw one of the sterner sex the other day riding a loner rpadinir a book! Fancy riding, if eracefullv executd. Is a pretty sight; so, too, are the feats of the haute ecol, but I maintain that the former Is as out cf place in parks or public streets as the latter." Evolution in bicycle saddle construe tion has developed from the unwieldly, cumbersome article weighing from five to ten pounds, of a few seasons ago, a new pattern saddle, devoid of all springs, weighing less than a pound, which, with the improved methods of using a wheel now in vogue, riding as much on the ped als as on the seat, is much more comfort able than the older style. The surplus energy of the rider of to-day is therefore not devoted to carrying around a number of surplus pounds, but can be more properly utilized in pushing the machine, For those who desire a more springy saddle, such are constructed, which at the same time offer enough resistance to the motions of the rider to allow him to obtain the necessary leverage when pushing the pedals. Many of the new freak saddles now on the market are so maite me pusning oi me peoais allowing him any leverage whatever. This Is a fact that should not be lost sight of when choosing a saddle.

mm A communication received from Milan, Italy, where John S. Johnson and other American professional riders are training, Outlines the arrangements for a series of match races between J. Michael and Johnson as follows: There are to be six paced matches in Europe, all to come off before the end of July, at intervals of not less than a week. The distances range from one to twenty-five miles. The stakes are to be $2000 a side.

Michael is also engaged to ride twice against Johnson in America, before the end of September, the distances named being five and twenty miles. The announcement that Michael will race Johnson in this country will Le welcomed by other American riders anxious to have a brush with the speedy Welshman. The racing men who follow the national circuit have requested that an "official handicapper be specially deputed to go the rounds. The Racing Board has the matter under advisement. Last year the circuit riders were handicapped by a different man at almost every meet, and the mark originally allotted to a competitor sometimes remained unaltered for weeks.

It is recorded that one man in the circuit last year was placed on the 33-yard mark for one month In one-mile handicap races, although he has repeatedly failed to score from the mark. Racing men assert that in the West the handicapper is not sufficiently conversant with the' form of the men coming on from the East LOCAL CYCLING NEWS Entries close next Saturday for the annual ten-mile Holbrook road race, wh'ch will be held at Jenklntown a week later. These races are now being anxiously looked forward to by local racing men and the followers of the sport, as it will be the first opportunity of the season to get a line on the condition of the men in both classes. A laige number of professionals are training" hard for the event, among those who are getting into condition being Starbuck, Church, McCurdy, Eaton, Jack, Rulon, Bartholomew, Dampman and many more less well known men. The number of amateurs who will compete is considerably larger than last year and Includes all the local cracks.

There will be nine prizes in addition to the time prize of $20 for the riders for cash, while the amateurs will be given twenty-five prizes, among may be mentioned a gold crank Falcon bicycle, valued at $100, for first prize; a parlor organ, gold watch, bicycle suit. Strauss, Hartford, Mystic, Vim and Morgan Wright tires, silk umbrella, Messlnger, Zenith and' Duplex saddles, Keystone, Williams' Globe Vapor and Favorite lamps. Trenton and American cyclo meters, sweaters, Troy cycle case and clincher felt bicycle shoes. Entries for the races should be sent to 4iHG Germantown avenue, 1227 Market street or 810 Arch street. Blanks can be obtained at any of these places or any of the newspaper offices.

The Penn Wheelmen's run last Sunday was to Laurel Springs, and it was a great success, both as to a good time and the number attending, there being over fifty members in line, besides a number of unattached wheelmen. Base ball and other games were indulged in. In the afternoon a mile handicap was run off between two of the members on the pike and created quite a little excitement among the spectators. The club will have no run to-day as this is their Sunday in town. Penn's racing men are getting into trim.

Messrs. Akers, HenseL, Grauch, Thompson, Fink, Walters, Kennedy and some new bloods will compete for track honors, wearing the purple and orange. Penn will be well represented in the Holbrook road race, and the Warwick meet. The men are in fine condition and are able to make the race of their life, with a little more track riding. Last Sunday Messrs.

Kennedy and Walters were out for a. spin and the former met with an accident which might have had a fatal termination. While going at a pretty good clip, the front fork of his wheel broke, throwing him to the ground. He sustained very severe bruises about the body, and his face was very badly cut up, being hardly recognizable. On the same day Charles Weaver, a new aspirant for track honors this year, while riding leisurely on Broad street, was run Into by a tincan cyclist and received injuries which will deprive him of the use of his left arm for a couple of weeks.

Weaver's new wheel, only two days' old, was demolished. Penn's members are organizing a party to take a three days' trip to Baltimore and Washington, and quite a number of the boys have signfled their Intention of joining the party. Joseph Zimmerman has been appointed captain of the base ball team, and Is striving hard to bring the boys up to the mark. It Is hard work, but Mr. Zimmerman is a hard worker and in a couple of weeks he hopes to instil team work into the game.

Any club wishing to play a Sunday game out of town can arrange one with Penn by addressing C. P. Halyburton, manager, 2015 Dia mond street. In a few weeks the team will play Saturday games. Captain Dlxey, of the Golden Star Wheelmen, announces the club's runs as follows: May 3, to Chester; May 10, to Laurel Springs; May 17, to Fort Wash ington; May 24, to Paoli; May 31, to Trenton; June 7, to Pitman Grove; June 14, to Wilmington; June 21, to Neshaminy Falls; June 28, to Burlington.

Mrs. Reaney, Miss Mc-Conaghy and Miss Sneyd. The club Is flourishing wonderfully, applications be ing acted upon at every meeting. The furnishing committee are hard at work selecting the new furniture for the club rooms. This is expected to be in place by the next meeting.

Captain Watts has called the following runs for May: Start Thursday evenings, at 8 o'clock, and Sat urday afternoons, at 2.15. May 7, Hun ting Park; May 9, Red Lion; May 14.

The building presented pretty sight, being completely refur rushed and papered. So as to Increase the effect the committee had the entire house decorated with plants and flowers, The baf-ement, in which a new floor has been laid, was set apart for dancincr. well-selected orchestra being on hand to furnish music. Up-stairs in the parlor, the evening entertainment was opened with a musicale, in which several of the members and their lady friends partici pated. On the second floor was prepared a prettily decorated table on which re freshments were served, the whole being lighted witn lairy lamps.

The reception was a success and re fleets great credit on the hustling abilities of the committee having the affair in hand. Two beautiful banners were presented to the club by the ladles present. several other presents from the same quarter being also noticeable, among otners oeing a magmncent ciock ana a pair of bronze figures. rrne Indiana cycling Club will have a run to Laurel Springs to-day, taking din ner at the White Horse Hotel. A cordial invitation is extended to all unattached wheelmen and wheelwomen, to attend.

The club will leave the residence of Tullner, 2S67 Reese street, corner Cambria street, at 8.30 A. M. The run of the Clover Wheelmen to Norrlstown last Sunday proved very successful and enjoyable. The run for Sunday will be to Laurel Springs. N.

The father of the Walters boys wants to arrange a scratch third of a mile race between his 9-year-old son Paul and 7- year-old John Benner.

Farmers in New Jersey are becom ing greatly Interested in the movement for good roads. Chief Consul Gentle, of the New Jer sey division of the League of American Wheelmen, said yesterday that-work on the cycle path from Asbury Park to Trenton would begin Immediately, and that the path would be open to riders by the middle of July. It will be forty-five miles long and will cost $100 a mile. An eighteen-pound wheel, with a wood en frame, which is on exhibition at the Penn Bicycle Company's store, 1343 Arch street. Is attracting great attention.

ID 201 I OUR THREE POINT CONTACT BEARING WE HAVE A FEW GOOD The Waltham Mfg. USUALLY THE ANGLERS WHO GO to the nearby streams after trout and are not very successful bless the stream in the most improper manner possible, and go home without even stopping to think that they can jhave lots of sport angling for other fish which are generally quite nu- merous. the fallfish. This fish Is not to be despised and a twelve or thirteen inch flsh of that species will af- ford any man quite a little sport and will furnish excellent food for the table. These fallnsh take the fly readily, and, as a matter of fact, it has come to the knowledge of Pork Hait that it not infrequently happens that anglers, not all.

only some, are accustomed to dump the fallfish in their creel, and in telling about the sport afterwards count each and every flsh as a genuine trout. This is necessary, for any man who has caught the fierce fallfish knows that they are game to the last, and that they will give their captor a lively tussle before they give in. Trout tackle should be used for fallfish, and red earth worms make good bait. Grasshoppers make an irresistible lure. Laurel, on the Brandywlne, is a good spot for fallfish, being noted for large catches in years gone by, but the fish may be caught in almost any part of that historic stream or in its feeders.

The Perkiomen, Schuylkill and Wissahlckon all contain some fallfish. REGARDING THE TROUT ANGLING prospects in Chester county and vicinity, "Ike," the West Chester expert, pays: "Trout are taking the bait a little better than at this time a week ago, but at the same time not as well as some of the anglers could wish, and there have been no large, and but few fair catches made. Of course there have been a few fish taken, but both in size and In numbers they were not great by any means. There have been several large catches reported by our fishermen, but upon investigation it has been discovered that the reports would not hold water, in fact they never were made, being pure fabrications. One well-known angler, who was reported by bis friends to have made a wonderful record among the trout one day last week, was not out of town on the day lie was said to have made the catch and many of the stories which come from other portions of the State are probably just as unreliable as these cases at home.

The flsh seems to be just about as plentiful in the streams as, in the past few years, but for some unexplained reason they refuse the most tempting bait even when it is dropped before their very noses. DO NOT GO AFTER TROUT DURING midday, for you will De oisappoiniea. His Rcyal Highness, Mr. Trout, does not care to feed during the hot part of the day, for at that time he likes to get down in the deep pools and think of the good things that are to come later, when the tired insects, returning from the flowers and after drinking a little too much honey from the blossoms, mistakes the number of his house and drops into the wrong door. About 10 o'clock in the morning the trout begins to give his stomach a chance to rest and he hardly ever begins feeding operations again until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so that generally time passed in seeking him between those hours Is wasted.

Once in a while some foolish trout will get full of playfulness or some such thing and lose his life by attempt to overload his stomach by dining somewhere around noon, but it is not often. MRS.

S. SMITH 1001 ARCH ST. S75 113 it ll FOR a-UJ than anv other: it has emnloved twoia entirely upon tne weignt or tne professional coaches. And Harvard Is the university whose Athletic Com mittee claims to be in complete sympathy with the ethics of amateur sport! This is the committee, too, that objects so strenuously to paying alumni rowing coaches! It is an offense against the ethics of college sport to employ professional in rowing; it is not an offense in base ball, according to Harvard's code. Consistency is indeed a jewel.

Congratulations to the college that preaches ess and practices more! OLD BALL-TOSSERS Two More Prominent Pniladelphi-ans Who Play With the I nl-versity. One of the prominent business men, who says that he read with a great deal of interest the article in last Sunday's Inquirer, which told of him and others as "old ball tossers" belonging to the senior and the picked nines of the University of Pennsylvania more than a Quarter of a century ago, writes that there are two other names to be aaded to the list. While they did not play in the particular game described they were, he says, very active in some of the contests which took place on the old Camp Cadwalader grounds, those at Twenty-third and Glrard avenue. One of them he alludes to is Francis E.

Brewster, son of ex-Judge F. Carroll Brewster, and formerly one of the champion cricketers of the country. He is now a well-known member of the Philadelphia bar. other gentleman is Wharton Barker, the financier. He belonged to- the seniors, while Brewster batted with the picked team Fctifon, Henley, Packer and ARDHORE BICYCLES CASHMORE-GREENHALGH CO.
