Wheelmen, ex Amateur Champion of the United States and holder of the mile straightaway record of one minute and four fifths seconds (1.00 4 5), will give an exhibition of fast riding on the Roller Home Trainer in our Bicycle Department, on the fourth floor, beginning to morrow morning at 10 o'clock and continuing at intervals until 5 P.

Hibernian and Teuton, and also that question: "Why don't some other nations play ball?" Other nations are taking up the game by degrees. It must be remembered that Ireland and Germany furnish the largest percentage of the total population and, therefore, cannot well help furnishing the biggest quota of base ball stars.

Had there been as large a number of Englishmen in this country as thero were Irishmen, the number of English base ball players would have been much greater. Irishmen and Englishmen, accustomed to the game of cricket, are naturally versed in the handling of a ball, while the Germans have had no such training and have had to pick up their knowledge since landing on these fhores. Ten years ago the percentage of German bail players was much smaller than now, and the percentage of other races than Irish almost nil. Frenchmen are now breaking into the game at a lively gait, but not the mall, dapper Frenchmen of Paris. The kind of Frenchman who plays base ball is the rough and powerful Canadian, whose eye is keen as that of the eagle and who can most mightily swat the leather.

The Hebrew does not seem to follow the same to any great extent, although it would seem as if the keen intuitions and perceptions of the nation would make them particularly, valuable as field captains and scientific pitchers. One man of Scottish blood Hamilton is on the Boston team, the balance being made of Irish and Germans In abouc equal proportions. The BaHimores are mainly Irish, with a sprinkling of Teutons, while the second baseman, De Montrevllle, Is French. Brooklyn's team is well assorted. La Chance and probably Sheckard are Frenchmen, the rest being German and Irish in even proportions, while Anderson is a typical Swede Two of Tom Burns' men have names that look like France's best Isbel and Chance while the Irish outnumber the Germans.

Cleveland has a goodly mixture. Sockal exis is a Penobscot Indian, Wallace is Scotch, Tebeau of descent and most of the others Irishmen. Buck wing's Reds have a rather Germanic flavor with Dammann, Hahn, Breitenstein, Peitz and Miller. It would be hard to classify that mob a't Louisville. The Now Yojks are nicely jum This exhibition is free to the public and everyone interested in bicycling is cordially invited to come to see it.

It will give intending bicycle purchasers an opportunity for noting the strength, speed and easy running qualities of our wheels, which are generally admitted to be The Best Bicycles Obtainable for the Money. Here's a complete list, with prices: The Columbia Chainless for Men and Women, $125.00. The Hartford for Men and The Columbia for Men and Women $75.00 The Hartford Vedette for Men and Women $40.00 Columbia Tandems for The Webster for Men and Women $29.50 Brooklyn Regulars Play a Game at Allaire. Fast HIT HARD AND FIELDED WELL. a mance ivisae tne otar va.itn anu cu gineered a Double Play From Deep Left Field Jones Looks Like a Certainty at Short McCarthy May Join the Team Ebbets Makes an Offer to Hanlon.

(Special to the Eagle.) Allaire, N. March 26 Each day brings home very emphatically to Manager Barnie that he has a winning aggregation In the team as it is now made up. This refers to the Washington Parks, as the regulars stytle themselves, with the addition of the reserve force among the colts, or Eastern Parks. The game to day was another exhibition of heavy hitting, sharp and brilliant fielding, snappy all around playing and lively coaching. The batting of the regulars was terrific, while their pitchers, Yeager and Horton, were well nigh invulnerable.

The colts fielded well and displayed geed team work, but could not bat, and lost therefore by a score of 1G to 2. There was a number of brilliant plays made which evoked applause from the 330 pectators who came from the neighboring towns in carriages, cn bicycles and on foot to watch the leaguers play. Big, good natured George La Chance won the lion's share of the plaudits by a magnificent running catch in deep left field, coupled with a fine throw to Jones, whose pass to Tucker at first completed a aouoie piay. it was a tremndous fly, almost to the woods that line the field in left, and so sure were the Celts cn the base that the ball was saf6 that thev trotted ar nd toward home with out a glance toward the outfield. La Chance hustled after the ball at his highest speed and captured it in tine style.

An equally sure throw in completed the double play and blanked the Colts. Jones' playing at short deserves comment. He is an intelligent player and consequently has undertaken his new task faithfully and with the evident intention of doing his best. To day he covered the position like a veteran and those who watched him were under the impression that short was his ucual position. He showed a surprising knowledge of all the fine points of the game in the infield, is quick cn his feet, goes for the ball properly, is a sure thrower to firs't and equally sure cn thrown balls from all directions.

He accepted six chances without an error. Barnie has no doubt now that Jones will fill the bill when the championship begins. As a running mate for Jones Hallman makes a star player. The former Philadelphian will be watched with interest by Brooklyn cranks, as he is expecled to strengthen a place which has been weak for a numbei) of years. He covers a wonderful amount of grounds, is sure on grounders and is not afraid to block men off, runnig to second.

He batted heavily today, getting two doubles and a single. It was Tucker's day to shine and President Ebbets will find that tie made a ten strike when he secured Tcro. His coaching alone will win many games under the existing rules tfa'is year, while his playing at first and batting will prove valuable. With La Chance shifted to right, where he will have ork to do, and Tucker firmly entrenched at first, the team will be 25 per cent, stronger all around. Tucker played the position for all It Is worth, blocking off players and stopping all sorts of throws, like the artis't he is.

Ho also gave a fine exhibition of batting to day, getting four Slits, including two doubles. The older members of the team are working together admirably. Griffin, Anderson and Shindle are batting heavily with the rest, while the batteries are fielding their positions up to the highest notch. Yeager allowed the colts only one hit in the five innings in which he officiated, shutting them out, while Horton allowed them only four bits and two runs. Stein and Dunn also pitched well, but did not let themselves out.

Ryan had fifteen put outs for iis side and led in the batting. Score: WASHINGTON PARK. The Cambridge for Men and Women, $24.50. The Kankakee Juvenile for Boys Girls, $19.48. Be Heavier Than Usual From Present Indications.

B. W. Pool Tonrnev. Last year's cycle traffic over the bridge amounted to several thousand daily, a number which might have been expected to greatly increase this year under the same conditions. The trip in the morning hours was.

last season, a delightful one. and there were many Brooltlynites whose place of business lay across the river who used their wheels every fair day. To accommodate this public, a cycleway across the bridge should be constructed or some other precautionary step taken against the danger at present attending the ride, by the Bridge Commissioners. Under the latter head there, have been two plans of value put forth by wheelmen either or both of which would do much to accommodate the jyublic in the vent of the pathway not being built. All efforts should be turned to secure the pathway; if these fail then the other plans should be carefully invest iga'ted.

The first of these is in the hands of the trolley companies. It is the suggestion cf a well known wheelman of this borough and would accommodate two classes. It is that smoking cars shall be run on the trolley lines crossing the bridge. These are to have the side seats so constructed that they may be folded back, just as the fenders are folded back when the bridge is and are to become bicycle cars at the bridge. In this wheelmaD's opinion there are many passengers who would take the cars as far as the bridge and there use transfers, for the privilege of an after breakfast smoke, on the way to work.

He also thinks that there would be enough cyclists who would patronize the cars across the bridge to make them well worth the trial to the companies. The other suggestion comes from Michael Furst, also of this borough, and is that checking facilities shoulM be provided for the riders by the bridge commissioners'. There is more than enough room at the terminal hero for wheel racks and the trouble and expense Is no more than is due to the cyclists now that their other facilities have been so encroached upon. Some enterprising individuals might even make profitable investments by opening such storage places near the terminal. Split Ticket ia the Hempstead Cycle Club.

Kennedy. McCarthy May Join the Team. There is an excellent possibility of Tommy McCarthy joining the Brooklyns before the championship begins. It will be remembered that McCarthy refused to play aJr.er the season of 1896, owing, it was alleged at the time, to trouble with the management. In a recent interview, the famous player announced that he had permanently retired from the diamond.

Since then he has placed a relative in charge of his saloon in Boston and he now announces that the bad grounds at Eastern Park caused his retirement 'on account of ill health. He says that he Is ready to play now that the Brooklyns have moved and states that he could get into condition in good time. An Eagle reporter brought the news to President Ebbets yesterday. He expressed himself as gratified over the prospect of regaining so good a. man, stating that he be lieved McCarthy is still capable of playing winning hall.

"I have sent a contract to McCarthy. said Ebbets, "and if he is anxious to play here he need only return tne signed docu ment and we will try to place him, pro vided, of course, he is in good shape and is a better man than those we already have in left fielfl." Still Negotiating for a Trade. President Ubbets acknowledged yesterday that ho was making every effort to strengthen tho Brooklyn team by an exchange of players. He has been negotiating with the St. Louis Club lor a trade in which he offers either La Chance or Tueher for Lave Cross or a pitcher, presumably Taylor.

There is possibility that this ileal will bo consummated. Mr. Lbbets twa.s informed that Hanlon of Baltimore had roasted him in an interview as a. result of the Brooklyn owner's refusal to Tvu Iur, oflermg Audi rron. sheckard aud other dead for vU.
