The wheel is th common vehicle of thousands of people in Indianapolis. Many ride for pleasure; thousands use the bicycle1 for business, and some take the wheel on a physician's preecripti.n.

Who is the largest and who Is the smallest cyclist? What bene flu have been derived from riding, and what injurious effects are caused, if any! There rel several cyclists who have passed the sixtieth mne une, and others are under seven years. There are riders in the city who belong to the old "ordi brigade, back in the early eighties.

Jt is probable that not a team in the Western League wlU stay within the salary limit this season, notwithstanding all th talk of th taanagera that they have signed their men at which will enable them to com Inside the limit.

The contract may look all right, and some of the players will be signed la good faith at price which wDl be In proportion to the limit, bat there will be many high priced men who will get more than the allotted $3J0 a moothy ilen who played In the league last season and reeetved a month, and did good work, will not willingly accept a cut of tlOi. They may be made to play, but they will not the team their best services. Many of these if free, could secure positions In the National lieague and much better salaries, and Western managers are going to jflve them what they are worth, one way or another. Every magnate In the league knows that he will have some men on bis team who will receive more than $200 a month, and yet they are all pledging themselves to stay within the limit. Indianapolis has come nearer living within the salary limit than any club in the league, with the possible exception of Minneapolis and Grand Rapids, and will probably ftave as cheap a team this season as any of the others, but there are some playera held by Indiana polln wuo are worth more money than the l.i.ilt allowed by the league, and who, doubtless, will get more money for their services.

The Pittsburg players will report March 4. President Watklns is not going to let Cincinnati get ahead of him in spring practice, and the Pirates will be at work at Little Rock when the Reds reach San Antonio.

Manager Bums has decided that Chicago will not need Denser this season, and he will be sent back to St. Paul. Comiskey win need him and several more players of the same caliber.

Merritt Is assigning guests to their rooms in a Massachusetts town hotel. at a much less ralary than Manning offers him. It's a safe guess to say he will be on time for the opening game of the season. President Hanlon has served notice on the members of the Baltimore team that unless they are oo hand when the team goes South they will be fined. As the contracts do not call for any money until" the season opens, Hanlon will, have a hard time collecting the fines.

Perry Woraen refuses to sign a Minneapolis contract at the terms offered. Werden drew nearly twice the salary last season as has been offered him by Manager Schtmels, and he says he will play ball with the semi professional teams in St. Louis rather than go to Minneapolis on the terms offered. Ban Johnson says Indianapolis. Milwaukee.

St. Paul and Kansas City will be the strona eet teams in the league, and he believes Indianapolis will capture the flag.

Strobel says if that is the way the people of Toledo are going to encourage baseball, he! will never get into fast company with his team.

London Spectator The incident the De Lome letter, as we have said, ought to make no difference In the situation. As we have said also, it is almost certain to make a great deal of difference and to bring the United States and Spain much nearer to a rupture in regard to Cuba. Cut though we think the decencies of public life are Involved In the ignoring of any publication of private letters, we can not profess to be sorry to think that the moment may actually be approaching when the United States will Intervene to stop the long agony of Cuba.

We have no antipathy to Spain, but rather wish her well. But she can not regain her health as a state long as she Is wasting her blood and treasure on Cuba, Unless the amputation of the Cuban limb takes place, and takes place speedily, the whole body of Spain will be poisoned. But though we wish to see Cuba separated from. Spain for the sake of Spain, this is not our strongest reason for desiring American Interven tion to put an end to the insurrection and to give Cuba her freedom. The con dition of the is'and is at this moment sp terrible, and has been so appallingly miserable for the last three or four years, that as one reads even moderate and well balanced accounts such as that In this month's Blackwood, one' wonders whether even lri the thirty years' war Itself "the negation of God" was ever more effectually, carried out.

by human beings. The wretched Island Is tormented be yond belief. Had it not, indeed, been an Islands but a country with land borders, what has been happening could not have taken place. The 'people then could not have, been prevented flying from it in thousands and th.e land's misery would nave been visible to the whole world. If thjere was a physical boundary where a man couia stand and say: "On one side I am safe, and can lead a human life; on the other I am either shot as a rebel, starved to death as a 'paclflco," or plundered and neglected as a soldier of Spain or a supporter of the government, the agony of Cuba could not have gone on so long, as it is, the island is dis tant and small, and, therefore.

Invisible Mean do not realize what is going on be hind the ocean screen. Curiously enough, the cup of misery has by rx) moans to be drunit solely or chiefly by the Cubans. In all probability, if a census of suffering could be taken. It would be found that the men who have endured most have been the Spanish iers boy recruits without physiaue or knowledge, and without leaders or helpers or friends of any kind who are "dumped" on to the island by the foolish and perverse tenacity of Spam, to Me of fever and starvation. No one knows, no one ever will know, exactly how many of the poor boys sent from Andalusia and Castile to Cuba have did since the war begun.

In all likelihood, however, nearly a hundred thousand have perished or become disabled, and there are probably at this moment another hunored and fifty thousand perishing, not In fighting, hut by fever. and famine. Spain has mud truly heroic efforts to. get the recruits out, but as soon as they are landed they are subjected to toe most, shameful neglect. Meantime, the island' has Ik en ravaged as provinces used to be ravaged in the Middle Ages flrsfby the rebels and then by the sohi iera NO doubt, things are a Little better under Marshal Blanco than they were under General Weyler, but even he Is powerleea to stop the Cuban horror.

The only hope is in the United States sternly declaring that the Spairish troops' must leave the Island, and that then the Cubans must be allowed to settle their own fate, and to decide whether they will have autonomy or independence. That the United States would be morally Justified In saying that the war must now end, and Cuba be given peace, we do not doubt for a moment. 1 School for it he Deaf Pabllratlons.

pjhlcag Tribune.) 1 i FOR It Is Bes Ise a Woodea Clnl The Different Strokes that Should; be Mastered Fta dameattal Principles. There are a few worthy people who have not become experts to jthe extent of knowing! a long drive from a foozle or a caddie from a bunker, though aware that both 'of i the latter are at times known to provoke profanity. It is for this belated remnant of society that Mr. J. Whigham, the amateur golf champion of the United States, has written book, "How to Play Golf," which is shortly to issue from the press of Herbert; S.

Stone of this city. Mr. Whigham; divides beginners Into three classes: Bovs under the age of discretion, who learn to play golf as a duck learns to swim; men of dyspeptic habits, who have been ordered hy their physicians: to take a round of golf as a counter irritant; and, finally, the large class of men and women of all ages who have taken up golf for the pleasure and the novelty it Affords. It Is to this last and most i sympathetic class that his book is chiefly addressed. He begins by advising the tyro not to buy a complete set of clubs, because a beginner can not possibly play with more than three of them under two months' time, and the rest will only distract his attention.

This point is typical of all that follow. The whole burden of Mr. Whlgham's teaching Is: "Go slowly. Don't try to do it all kt once." The beginner, he says. Will be wise to keep off the regular course as long as possible, for aa soon as he plays eighteen boles he will tfegin to count his score and trouble the handicapper.

This very prevalent disease among young golfers is Invariably fatal to progress. Apart from the fact that the tyro's efforts to get around the course Inside of one hundred strokes will make him unfit for human companioship, the mere anxiety to succeed in a nominal and numerical way will ruin his style and veto his chance of ever becoming a first class player. "It would be a good rule," he says, "for every beginner to refuse absolutely to count his score until he has played six months, and above all let him remember that it is better to miss the ball fifty lmes In the right way than to hit It once by some unauthentic trick." Use a Wooden Club. Mr. Whigham advises the, novice to retire with caddy to some remote locality with p'enjv old balls and one club.

That club must be of the wooden variety. The shaft should be strong, but not too clumsy, with just a little spring the lower end. Thd bead sliould ho a bulger. The author has no use for the custom of putting an old fashioned, longheaded driver into the beginner's hands. The wooden bulger Is not only the best for experU.

but it was especially In vented to obviate the faults most Inherent In' young players. Having selected the club, the next thing Is to learn to give It an easy and scientific swing in hitting the ball. This, one gathers from Mr. Whlgham's treatise, may be learned In a space of tJmo varying from six months to a thousand yeara The average period is about a lifetime. It is.

therefore, quite natural and right that the author should devote a considerable proportion of his pages to the subject. The first thing is to grip the club correctly. There are only two possible positions for the hands In driving, and they are minutely described, besides being shown in the illustrations. Then the player must stand erect before the ball with the weight equally distributed upon bis separated feet, and make the drive not from the right leg or from the left, but from both. This circling swing of the club In making a long drive from the tee or starting point Is graphically illustrated in the accompanying series of Burton Holmes's chronomatograph plates show lna Mr.

"Whigham himself making the famous St. Andrews swing. But the author, solemnly warns the beginner not to attempt that feat the first day he gets a club In his hands. Three Kinds of Strokes. The various kinds of strokes used on the golf links may be roughly divided Into three kinds.

These are the long drlve used In starting out for the hole from the teeing green; the approach shots, used in "negotiating" the ball into the smooth space around the hole, called putting the green; and the putting stroke used to coax the ball the remainder of the way Into the hole. A different sort of club may be used for each kind of play, but in general the wooden bulger is used for the long drive, while for the approach shots Mr. Whlgman advises a light or medium iron club, and for the putting process preferably a wooden put ter. Having supposedly made his Initial long shots, the player must neat attempt the approach shot, and this, "In all Its various forms, is the most difficult and the most important part ot the game of aolf."
