Only Two Games Needed to Decide the Series on the Putnam Avenue Alleys. RigKs'High Score Metropolitans Win Their Twelfth Successive Victory. After retaining possession of the Junior Inter club league trophy against four strong teams, the Aurora Grata club relinquished its hold to the Lincoln clubmen, on the alleys of the latter last night. Only two games were necessary to decide the series and the masons were badly beaten. The first game developed an excellent exhibition of spare bowling on the part of the Lincoln bowlers, who piled up thirty three in clever style.

Holdridge led in this respect, getting nine, with a single break. Few strikes were made on either side, but the ma sous could not keep up the pace set by Lincoln, and were vanquished by 111 pins. Lov en led the Lincolns with 177, while Goundle carried oft the honors for Aurora Grata with 1S3. In the second game Lincoln set a tremendous pace, piling up strikes with almost as much ease as they counted spares in the first. RIggs in particular did fine work, seven strikes and two spares, giving him a total of S' Ketcnam was a good second with 182, while the others bowled evenly.

The Aurora Gratas, on the other hand, could do absolutely nothing with the pins, Goundie being high scorer with only 136. Lincolns' total of 898 the highest to date in both the senior and Junior tourneys. Scores: FIRST GAME. Lincoln Nomu. S.

The latest claimant for the honor of having ridden the first century in 1896 over the Merrick road is B. R. Gray, captain of the Central wheelmen. He gives a circumstantial account of his performance and according to his story he beat Boger and Kreger of the Long Island wheelmen by about an hour. He says that ho and J.

H. Carlsen started out from Pettifs hotel, in Jamaica, promptly at midnight and struck the Merrick road. They i did not see another wheelman until they reached Seaford, where they passed four rid ers. They had picked up Louis Rauschkolb, president of the Metropolis wheelmen, of New York, and the three rode on together. At Oakdale Carlsen struck the root of a tree and his front fork broke and he had to retire.

Gray and the New Yorker pushed on, helped by the wind. They reached Roe's hotel, at Patchogue, at 3:27, and were the first wheelmen to reach there in 189G, and received vouchers to that effect. They remained there half an hour and after eating breakfast started back. Two other wheelmen reached the hotel while they were there, one of whom Gray says was Johnson of the Bushwick wheelmen. On the way back they met a number of wheelmen, including one tandem.

They reached Babylon at o'clock and after a rest started out again. Gray making the pace from this point. He did not look behind for some time and when he did the Metropolis wheelman was nowhere to be seen, not even the light on his wheel being visible. Gray pushed on alonel and rode all the rest of the way into Jamaica against the fearful west wind un paced, except for a mile or two on Locust avenue, when he picked up another wheelman for a short distance. He reached Tatum's at 7:55, completing the century The Long Island wheelmen started from their club house on Bedford avenue at midnight and returned at 9 o'clock.

They rode considerably more than one hundred miles and finUhed about one hour later at Bedford avenue. Rauschkolb, the Metropolis wheelman whom Gray dropped after leaving Babylon, reached Tatum's at 8:10, fifteen minutes after Gray had finished. THE LITTLE MASCOT OF THE B. B. C.

Miss Minnie Rombach, the subj'ect of this sketch, is a familiar figure on the cycle path. She began riding a wheel early last year and on decoration day she made her debut 'on the cycle path, the initial run to Coney Island consuming an hour and a half. From that date to the present time Miss Rombach has ridden 3,162 miles and is now more of a cycling enthusiast than ever. During the past week she rode five mile on the cycle path in the remarkable time of 15 minutes and 35 seconds, without the aid of pacemakers. Touring, rather than speed, MISS MINNIE ROM however, is her chief delight and during the past summer frequent trips were made to the numerous places of interest on Long Island, Staten Island, in New York and New Jersey.

Miss Rombach Is A favorite with the members of the Brooklyn Bicycle club and is rarely seen on the cycle path unless accompanied by an escort of one or more of the Brooklyn Bicycle club boys and frequently is observed setting the pace for an impromptu club run. She is familiarly known as the Little mascot. She uses the bloomer costume, believing it to be more advantageous and convenient that the cumbersome skirt. Miss Rombach is already formulating plans for the coming season, one of which Includes a tour awheel through the White mountains and embracing the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. BUTLER AND THE FIRST CENTURY.

N. J. Butler, of the Amphion wheelmen, says he can furnish ample proof that he covered 100 miles on New Year's morning, thereby substantiating1 his claim to (the first century of 1896. He says that he sopke to S. Munz of the Pequods at Oakdale and Mr.

Brenoan on the road. He also declares chat he has his time made to and from Babylon. THE CYCLtE TRADE The use of pneumatic tires on all kinds of vehicles. In addition to bicycles, seems to have been a prediction that was well founded. Tliey are already being used extensively in all the larger cities on the wheels of various kinds of carriages, and the increasing demand proves the elllciency they give and the satisfaction they are giving.

It is hard 'to reckon the difference between riding for instance, in a brougham with or without rubber tired wheels. The comfort of the tires is beyond the most sanguine expectations of the inexperienced. The smoothness is particularly noticeable in these heavier carriages, where all the scraping and crunching of the wheels Is done away wiith and the gliding nolselessness adds a tenfold pleasure to driving. The Pope Manufacturing company say that they have arrived at such perfection in the manufacture of a bicycle that they have little improvement to make on the machine sold last year. Tills year's Columbia, therefore, differs little from last year's, but it is still radically different from all other wheels In one respect the crank shaft mechanism, which the company claims Is the most valuable Improvement In the manufacture of a bicycle since the introduction of the pneu mnirlc tire.

By the use of the Jointed axle the cranks are made a part of the axle, thereby avoiding the use of keys and cotter pins to fasten the cranks to the axle joints, which often work loose. It also permits of a narrow tread, and ft Is claimed adds stiffness to the frame and crankshaft. Wheelmen who have never examined the jointed crank shaft on a Columbia wheel would be interested in studying it. A big improvement in the 96 LHerty over the machine of this year is In the pedal. The od justing cone Is separated entirely from the crank in the new models.

Several of them are on ex hlbitlon at Schwalbach's p'oce on Bedford avenue, The Humber makea a new dejarture in the mat ter of a saddle in their 9ii machine. It has a cane center to it and is claimed to be very easy i riding. i Thoo who attach importance to the mounts upon which records are broken will be interested to loam tliat and ErsweJ, the fast tandem riders of Wyoming, rode their mile In 1:17 1 5 on a crimson rim tandem. Wheelmen hate to give up riding even for the brief 'period In the winter, when the ground Is unlit for cycling. Inventors have, therefore, turn ed their attention to providing for the use and application of yules to ice.

Many schemes have resulted from the. efforts. W. V. Thompson of i Chicago has a now invention by which he can turn an ordinary blcyvle Into an ke wheel a short space of time.

He, like many others, hated I to put his wheel up for the winter and accordingly 1 tried to ilnd some way to It in Chicago's icy streeLs with safety to himself. After much thought ho has turned out an attachment which i.in be tltted to any wheel. It consists of a leather band pierced by small. needJe Inted steel 1 nails. This can be easily applied to the rims of a whofl when the tires are deflated and after It Is on the tires are lnnutej and the wheelman rides off.

i Samuel F. Clouser of 221 Park place has de i signed a chain which he thinks will be adopted 1 by progressive manufacturers Just as soon as its i merits are known. It hus as its main principle a feature that resembles the ball bearing idea. The sprocket wheels are grooved so that the chain sinks below the flanges as it engages with 1 the teeth. The teeth arc lun te eth.

but rather horizontal bars covered with a sleeve. The chain Itself has teeth which engago the sleeve covered burs. The sleeves iwolve with the motion of the chain und It Is claimed that this does away with a gn at deal of the friction. Mr. Clouser has a nn "lei of two sprockets and a chain of the regulation size, the gear being S3.

It is claimed that this will run as easy as a whei geared to 63. The Remington people have looked at it and It wlM be on exhibition on one of tholr wheels at the cycle show at Madison square gun ten in two wcelcs. Mr. Clousor says that he Intends making the chain himself, although he has been offered a royalty for it. A meeting of bicycle rep.

Union Leaguers are still reaching for the handsome trophy of the Inter club Whist league. It is almost within their grasp unless the Carletons should disappoint them next week, in which case there would be an exciting three cornered tie for its possession between the Carletons, Lincolns and Union Leaguers. The Montauks, It is said, have decided to forfeit their games to the Lincolns and Midwoods. The Lincolns will, therefore, have but one game to play, and that with their old rivals of last season, the Excelsiors. The Midwcod Ridge game has been postponed until next Tuesday at the Midwood club.

The Irving Ridge game scheduled for npvt FHdnv Ml ho novt Tondav at. the Kldge club. These, with the hnal game between the Carletons and Union Leaguers, will wind up the tournament, unless a tie should occur. The game last evening at the Union League club with the Irvings was won easily by the victorious Leaguers by the following score: UNION LKACUE. 20: IRVING, 10.

Tuta! for Union League. 20; Total for Irving, 10. In the match between the Montauk and the Excelsior clubs in the local tournament there was one deal in which there was a difference of four tricks in the score, caused by the variation in the play. East dealt and turned the four of hearts. His hand was: Similes 5.

2. Hearts 4, Clubs K. J. Diamonds 6, 4. The play was at follows: Trick.

s. W. N. 1 I), 4 D. 3 D.

10 2 S. S.U S. At 3 This hand and play has caused a great deal as lu iasi proper itrau au ich. bold spirits, would lead trumps and stiil fewer favor the lead of the Jack of spades. East knew that if South held the deuce of diamonds that there remained but one diamond between West and North.

If South had but four originally then two remained and it was possible for either West or North to be bare. West could not have begun a trump signal unless he held the deuce. East disliked to run the risk of having North trump the suit. Leading clubs was out of the question and he had not sufficient courage to venture a trump lead at this juncture. He therefore led the jack of spades and the drop to this trick gave him a good deal of information.

His play at trick 3 can be criticised. But when his jack held the trick he led a trump, found his partner able to exhaust them, and South in the meantime having discarded a diamond, eventually made fire tricks in that suit, South holding four originally and West and North two each. At the other table a different line of play was followed, with the result above stated. The suggestion has been made that the teams of the various clubs in Brooklyn, New York, Staten Island and New Jersey should meet and play against each other. In order to get the best of all practice before the next congress is held here.

The idea is an excellent one and it carried out the result cannot be otherwise than beneficial. The Brooklyn Whist club immediately proposed that the teams of the various clubs should meet on Saturday afternoons, and possibly evenings also, at its house as being the most central and convenient. It would save an en dless amount of trouble and correspondence, and in the event of a club being unable to present its full complement of players substitutes could be provided. There would be no postponements and no failures. Each club could play a set match against every other club, or the contest could be conducted under tie Howell modification of Mitchell's system.

If the other clubs are prepared to engage in It Brooklyn will heartily co operate and afford them every needed facility. The arrangements for the match between the Brooklyn Whist club and the entire state of New Jersey have been placed in the care of E. T. Baker on behalf of Brooklyn. The first match is to be played at the New Jersey Athletic association in Jersey City, on January 15.

and there are to be eighty players on a side. Brooklyn will need all its best players, because the Jerseymen are the pick of air the various clubs. Every member of the club is requested to find a partner and report his willingness to participate to Mr. Baker. Partners will be assigned to those who do not voluntarily pair themselves.

It behooves the members to bestir themselves and come forward. It is but little trouble for each individual to report as requested, but it would be an immense labor for the committee in charge to confer with each and every member personally. The return match will be played later in Brooklyn. The match against Staten Island will prob ably be played January 24. The second annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Whist association took place at San I Francisco Friday and Saturday.

December 13 and 14, at the rooms of the San Francisco I Whist club. The election of officers resulted i In the re election of the old board. President Tormey strongly urged the association to I never elect a president for the second term. saying it was not in the best Interests of any association to do so. but this opinion did prevail among the clubs and he was asked to guide its affairs one more year, i Five contests took place during the meet ing, The Rideout trophy contest, women's 1 pair contest, club fours' contest, womqn vs.

men contest and straight whist contest, i The Rideout trophy contest took place in the rooms of the Trist Duplicate Whist club under the supervision of President Tormey. 1 Fourteen teams entered. The preliminary games were played under the Howell progressive system, the semi finals and finajs on the two table plan. The Oakland club'won 'he trophy. Forty women entered the women's contest, nd the winning pairs were Mrs.

Murdoch, and Mrs. Coffin (E. and and Mrs. Palmer i and Mrs. Eby (N.

and all of the Oakland club. Fifteen teams of four entered the club fours' contest and the prize was won by a mixed team composed of A. Moreton (Trist Duplicate Whist club), Howe and Curtis (San i tvhir mum and Pmfr vwjrrt Francisco Whist club) and Professor Howard of Berkeley. I In the game between the men and women the highest score was made by Mrs. Henry Krebs and Mrs.

Taylor, and the straight I whist match was won by Mrs. J. D. Eby and Al Havens. i Miss Wheelock.

the whist queen, is still bus ily engaged in instructing her many classes at I Hotel St. George. Her original plan contem plated her remaining in Brooklyn until about January 15. but she has decided to extend her 1 stay here beyond that pericd. In fact she finds so many desirous cf acquiring a knowledge of the game and so eager and enthusiastic in the pursuit, that she has been compelled to entirely forego her customary Western visit, a circumstance which cccurs for the first time.

It will be a great disappointment to her pupils In Chicago. St. Louis. Milwaukee and the other cities in that region, but they will have to submit to the inevitable with the best possible grace. To day Albany will have the Capital Bicycle club of Washington.

D. as its adversary in 'the match for the American Whist league trophy. The contest ought to bo a close one, but there is no predicting the result. Both teams are laboring under disadvantages, the Al'banys being unable to have the services of their noted leader, E. LeRoy Smith, while the Washington club reports that it had difficulty in getting together a team, owing to the distance.

Miles. A REMEDY SUGGESTED FOR THE BAD CONDITION OF THE BOULEVARD. A suggestion has been made for the improvement of the condition of the Ocean parkway, which it might be well for Commissioner Squler to look into. A well known horseman said yesterday: "The road is highest at Parkville, and from that point nearly to Coney Island creek there is a gradual descent. During heavy storms the water gathers in the gutters and starts on its downward course carrying dirt and debris with it, until the gutters are choked up and the water overruns the road.

By the time it reaches the Parkway Driving club it has become a small river, flooding the road, from one side to the other, leaving only the bicvele pathway and sidewalks free of water. Many repetitions of this have filled up and washed away the gutters, so that they are higher than the road, and even a small amount of water finds its way naturally into the roadway, carrying and depositing there whatever dirt it picks up and forming mud puddles, which, when they are dry, become soft and hard going. "The first remedy suggested for this evil is to give some slight attention to the gutters, so that they will be in condition to properly carry the water off. The second, and most important remedy suggested is to lay a large drain pipe, the end of which shall be protected by an iron grating, from the gutter to the deep gravel pit, just opposite Brown's road house. The pit belongs to the park department and is deep enough to take all the water which could flow into it.

Being gravel, the water would filter away as fast as it went in, so that there would be no danger of a pool forming. Some time ago a small drain pipe was laid from the gutter to this pit. but it was too small to be of any practical use. It fills up easily and becomes choked and useless, where a larger pipe would remain free. This would accommodate all the water to this point, but beyond it other means of drainage will have to be found, either by connecting the gutter at Intervals with low land beside the road, or by digging wells to receive the water at proper Intervals." RICHMOND WON THE TROPHY.

HE DEFEATED W. F. TAYLOR AFTER A LONG STANDING TIE. James Richmond of the Emerald Gun club was one of the shooters at the open tournament of the South Side Gun club yesterday and succeded in winning the trophy representing the championship of the New Jersey Trap Shooters' league. A few months ago over fifty men competed for this trophy and Richmond and W.F.

Taylor of the Maplewood Gun club tied for first place. When they met at the South Side grounds it was to decide this tie. each man shooting at fifty clay birds. The local shooter. won, killing 4S to Taylor's 46.

There were nine regular events on the programme, all at clay birds, and the principal winners were W. F. Taylor. Captain Breitnall, George Sickley, Tom Goeffrey, Charlie Hed den, Fred Van Dyke and Edward Sickley. OFF FOR THE LONE STAR STATE.

The big mid winter shoot which will take place this month at San Antonio, seems to be the objective pofnt just at present for all those men who delight in the sport of trap shooting. The vanguard of the Northern delegation left New York city yesterday in a special car for the Lone Star state, and in the party were James A. R. Elliott, Captain A. W.

Money, Noel Money, Ferdinand Van Dyke, Harry McMuTchy, E. D. Fulford, E. D. Miller and O.
