It's Different From All Heretofore Named and Is Urged Upon the Authorities. SCH0FIELD TO RACE KRAMER. The Brooklyn Boy "Will Meet the Holder of the Mile Championship in a Match. A meeting of tho delegates from the big cycliDg associations that have combined in the effort toward the building of a bridge cycleway was held yesterday at League of American Wheelmen headquarters In Manhattan, and a plan was advanced and Indorsed that will avoid all of the old objections raised by the bridge authorities.

Tho path, according to this plan, could be built In six weeks, and neither in weight nor In cost Is It impossible. Those who use the bridge will remember a stairway at the Manhattan terminal that crosses the north wagonway and comes in Just before the Third avenue elevated station is reached when walking through the terminal toward Park row. This stairway Is but little used. It is proposed to build a cycle runway beside these steps and let the cyclists bring their wheels up in this way to a grade above the trolley cars. Here a platform twenty five feet square would give mounting and dismounting room.

From thU point the path runs out and over the coble trestle work until the Manhattan tower Is reached. At the tower the path will take up the pedestrians' walk to the north of the middle pier of the tower. After this point the path will cross over to the sotith cable trestle work. The incline to the level at Sands street would be steep and would run between the cable tracks and the trolley tracks. This is the plan advocated by the committees yesterday, and.

as one of the committee said, it ie now uo to Enerlneer Mnrtin and Commissioner Shea again. SCIIOFIELD AND KRAMER MATCHED. A match was made yesterday which will probably settle the question of the amateur championship to date beyond dispute. Frank L. Kramer, the little blond headed youth from East Orange, X.

who won the amateur mile championship of last year, has agreed i to ride a race against George Schofleld, of the Kings County Wheelmen, at the opening i of the Manhattan Beach bicycle track next Saturday. George Collett, the New Haven amateur, was scheduled to measure speed with I the "Jersey wonder," but an attack of stom ach trouble will prevent his appearing. Scho field is, doubtless, the best man to compete against the amateur champion, and as both I men are riding raster than ever before, an Interesting race is assured. The contest will bo mile heats, best two In three with a single pacemaker to the beginning of the last lap. The Manhattan opening meet will have some other fine attractions.

The famous California ir ui w. u. rurman ana Harry Downing entered for the big Atlantic Sweepstakes Handicap yesterday, and both cf them will make every effort to wrest the titlo of "handicap king" from Floyd McFarland, who bears that title and who hails from the far Western state. Bald, Cooper, Gardiner, Riser and Freeman are among the others who have hopes of capturing the first prize which is offered for that race at the Beach. The advance sale of seats has begun at both the Spalding stores in New York and at Osgood's and Shannon's in Brooklyn.

MINEOLA'S BIG ENTRY LIST. Thg bicycle handicap that Is to be run by the Queens County Agricultural Society at the spring fair at Mlneola.

W. Post of Brooklyn will ref eree the race. EGLOFF'S ROAD RIDING FEAT. Gus Egloff of the Century Road Club completed his eighth consecutive century ride last night at midnight, breaking the road record, j. He said that he would keep on, however, and try for ten of the hundred mile spins, or a thousand mile ride upon the road.

This ride I must not be confounded with ten dally centuries In which the cyclist has twentv four hours for each ride. Egloff has but half of this time for each hundred miles under the Century Road Club rulcfi governing this kind of riding. Egloff has been making the journey over Long Island roads. The record was 3ix consecutive centuries and wne mnde on May 30 last. MICHAEL EXPECTED HACK ON THE TRACK.

The cycle racegoers are wondering if Jimmy Michael will return to his first love tho cycle track now that he has been given a cold shoulder by the turf. Michael's case Is unique in many mays. The Welshman was at one time the best advertised public performer in athletic circles In the world. And he did something that few champions have ever done dropped out when at the zenith of his popularity and took up a new sport. It Is rumored that the little fellow will soon again be seen bending over the handle bars of his toy looking bicycle behind a flying pacemaker.

The success oE the first big heavyweight battle in New York City has started lots of talk among the big pugilists. Fitzslmmons wants to meet Jeffries again, but says that the young champion is entitled to make some money out of his victory before being drawn into the arena again. Jeffries prefers to meet Sharkey first and as the sailor is agreeable the two will come together probably about September 25. McCoy and Corbett both express a desire to meet the champion and they likewise profess a willingness to cross gloves with Fitzslmmons. McCoy and Corbett likewise declare their intention of beating each other.

As McCoy has a battle with Choynski next month the clever middleweight 13 advised by some of his friends to do more training and less talking. After the McCoy Choynskl meeting a battle between McCoy and Fitzslmmons or Corbett and McCoy will be the first big meeting. McCoy and Choynski meet at Denver next month. It is said that Brady has admitted that the pictures ot the fight were a failure and this means a loss to all concerned of many thousands of dollars. It cost nearly $8,000 to take the pictures and the revenue, had they been good, would have been very big.

Fitzslmmons spent the aay in Manhattan yesterday, returning home late in the evening loaded down with a big basket of fruit for Mrs. Fitz. On Wall street the ex champion had a hard time escaping from the admiring throng. BOING NOTES. Owen Ziesler, formerly of Philadelphia, Is still training at Bath Beach and expects to get a match at the Coney Island Club shortly.

The feature of the second day's play in the New Jersey state championship lawn tennis tournament at Orange yesterday was the surprisingly strong showing of young Alexander of Princeton, in his semi final match against George H.

Miles, the champion of the heme club. Miles found him a difficult man to dispose of and It required three close sets for him to win. Alexander's forehand drives were remarkably fast and accurate, while his ability to reach apparently safe returns was remarkable. This victory gave Miles a place In the fical round. In the other half, Paret and R.

M. Miles will play off their unfinished match this afternoon, while Millett will meet the winner between Crogin and Barnes or the other place in the semi final.

O'DEA LEAVES HARVARD. He Gives Significant Reasons for Resigning Before the Race. Cambridge, June 14 Andrew O'Dea, who came from the University of Wisconsin to Harvard as a rowing coach, resigned his position yesterday. He did not go to New London with the crew, but will go to New York to Join the Wisconsin oarsmen until the races at Poughkeepsle are over. O'Dea says that his stay at Harvard has not been as pleasant as it might have been: that he had very little to do with the development ot the crew and he thought it best to leave Harvard before the crew mot Yale.

He says the crew is a fine one, but has not been handled rightly, and while it can sprint well, its time for three miles is discouraging. NEWS OF THE GOLFERS.

Littlefield and Finnegan Displease the Racegoers at Gravesend To day's Probable Winners. Bookmakers and public divided the money at. Gravesend yesterday, three favorites winning. As all of the races were good betting affairs, however, the books probably came out ahead. Several very bad races occurred and deserve Investigation.

Liltlefieltl's ride on Prcstliilgi tatrice was about as emphatic an exhibition of how easy it is for a master hand to kill off a good horse while leading, as could be Imagined. He got away In front and at once put her under a choking pull. The Rose, an added starter, running second. The pace was so slow that even before the stretch had been reached, Littlefield had succeeded in effectually choking all the run out of Ms mount and when they straightened out. Mailer took The Rose to the front, winning handily by two lengths from Bettle Gray.

Harmonica two lengths further back and Prestidigitatrlee fourth. No inquiry has been made into the race bo far as known. Another weird performance was that of Finnegan cn Ben Eder. On form he should have been a decided contender in tho rnce, but it was evident that Vie was not backed i hy the right parties, as ills price went back a point. He got away in Mond shape and seemed full of run, hut Finnegan put him under double wraps at once, taking him back to last place.

And there he ran throughout the race. Premier, the favorite, won easily by three lengths from Moslem, which brat Arquebus two lengths for the place. When it was too late to win. Finnegan made a show 1 of bard riding. After the race he was cnlled into the stewards' stand, presumably to be questioned as to the ride.

No report of 1 lie 1 result wns made public, however. The first race looked like a good thing Primrose Day and ho was played down tot wop. He did win by a nock, but had Mcfur put up his usually good finish on Killashundra, the I latter would have been first. As It was she finished in the place, three lengths ahead of Prejudice. Central Trust, at 13 to made a runaway i race of the second, leading from end to end, and beating Tragedian three lengths, Maxlne finishing half a length further back.

Candle black was playc as though it was all over hut i collecting. He finished in the ruck. Maribert galloped away from his field in the third. Wilson got off in front and mnklng every post a winning one, landed slowed down, eight lengths ahead of Miseracordia, which beat Kitchener half a length for the place. The time.

1:01. was tho fastest of the meeting, Tor the distance, five furlongs. In a hot drive, Greyfleld won the fifth race and left the maiden class, beating Ineenamara a neck. Touralne got a bad start, but finished third, a length further back. Grevficltl was afterward purchased by Sydnev Paget for $1,000.

The probable winners of the last five races to day are as follows: Second race Imp. Warrenton. Intrusive Third race Creeper, The Corinthian. Advance Guard. Fourth race Continental.

Handball. Maximo Gomez. Fifth nee Mark Cheek. Prince of Melhourre The Corinthian. Sixth race Dan Rice, Hold On.

F.d Tipton. ALL BETS WILL BE PA in. The disqualification of White Garters and Diversion in the steeple cha so on Monday has caused all sorts of complications. The race was the last of the day and when the public which had bet on Westown saw that ho only came third they hurried away to get seats in the train. Nine out of every ton throw nway his badge, which is the only means of identification, the book makers insisting upon the badge number instead of the name of the bettor.

I Later, when it was found that Westown I was declared tho winner, those who had bet on him were In a quandary. Yesterday dreds of them tried to get their money, but as iney not nave oa iges trtey were of course refused. During the day over r.yparato complaints were made to Johnny Cavaiitnth, who Is In charge of the ring, it was finally decided to allow tiie matter to stand over until Krid.iy in all cases where there was not a forthcoming. On Friday, however, ail claims will be paid where the claimant can give the amount bet and the odds. The bookmakers are not inclined to take advantage r.f the technicality which would give them the money, but on the other hao they are no; cllned to pay to the wrong party and then have to pay again In case the right claimant appears.

June 14 After winning twelve successive victories, the Brooklyns met defeat in the first game of the double header here yesterday. According to Hanlon, fate and the elements had all to do with this break In the long string of winning games, for the reason that the figure 13 are not attractive symbols to the astute manager. Had the thirteenth game been played last Saturday or Monday, instead of being postponed until the 13th of June, Hanlon declared that Brooklyn would have continued its victorious career. He was happy over the fact that the hoodoo did not have full sway, for had yesterday been Friday he would have thrown up his The fact that the two teams scored 13 runs between them was also significant. It was a hotly contested game of ball for six innings, McJames keeping pace with the wonderful McGuinty during that time.

In fact, the Brooklyn pitcher had a shade the better of it, as his team led by 3 to 2, when the Orioles went in for their seventh inning. When the home team was finally sent to the field, twelve men had faced McJames and eight of them had crossed the plate. The Orioles had simply fallen on McJames" curves like a thirteen inch shell and had scattered base hits all over the lot. Four singles and a two bagger, two bases on balls, errors by Casey, Daly and McGana and a wild pitch contributed to the result. There was no more interest In the struggle after that.

Baltimore's two runs in the second were scored on singles by LaChance, Robinson and McGraw, a sacrifice and an out. Farrell scored Brooklyn's first run in the third on a base on balls, Keeler's base hit, Kelley's hit by pitched ball and Dahlen's free pass, which forced Farrell home. In the fifth McJames and Keeler came home on singles by each and Kelley's two bagger. Score: BROOKLYN. A B.

BROOKLYN, BALTIMORE, 5. (Second Game.) Over five thousand spectators were present wnen me second game Degan. rooKiyn won after an exciting struggle by to 5. Both sides fought like Trojans to win, the Super has gaining the verdict through the superior pitching of Hughes in the last six innings. Up to the fourth, however, it looked as if the Orioles would make it tvo straight.

They tDook the lead in the second, when Brodie'a apparent foul drive to left was railed fair by Umpire Tom Bums and the runner reached third, scoring on Sheckard's single. In the third they sized up Hughes for five singles and a triple, adding four runs to their tally. It was the final spurt, however, for in the remaining innings they were unable to get another man across the plate Hughes had a narrow escape in the fourth, nevertheless, when the bases were full with only one out he retired the side by causing the next two batterB to send up weak flies. Brooklyn began scoring in the third, Casey's base on balls, Anderson's three bagger and Kelley's single netting two runs. Another brace of runs came in the fourth and the score was tied in the sixth.

McGann scored the winning run in the eighth on his eingle, Sheckard's error, Grlm's safe hit and Hughes' sacrifice. ScoTe: BROOKLYN. A.B. R. 1B.T.B.S.H.S.B.P.O.

NEWPORT WANTS MORE RACES. Yachtsmen There Desire the Columhia and Defender for Several Regattas in July Yankee Wins. Bristol. R. June 14 It is expected that tho first trial of the Columbia, not competitive, will take place next Sunday morning.

This Is net certain, but the yacht's mast was stepped in place yesterday afternoon and the crew Is tending every energy toward getting tho boat out at the time stated. It was feared that tho strong wind which blew over Bria tol yesterday would make mast stepping unsafe, but after the noon hour the breeze fell and the great stock of Oregon pine was lowered In Its pocket by tho powerful arms of a steam lighter. The standing rigging is already in place at)d work on the steel boom Is so far advanced that no delay Is anticipated on that score. The Defender was cn the ways yesterday, with a crowd of men at work on hpr under body. she will probably be put back in the water to day.

A rumor comes from Newport that some of tho best known yachtsmen there are anxious for several more trials of the Defender ar.d Columbia than had been projected up to date. They wish to have the two yachts appear in company with the Vigilant and the Navahoe in several special regatta! during July, these to take the place of informal trials. Plans. It is said, are aircadv under way. DOMINION SNAPS HER MAST.

Montreal. June 14 The Canadian yacht Dominion snapped her mast on the first round of yesterday's raco. the second Tor the Ross cup, and the Yankee was awarded the victory by the regatta committee. The owners of the American boat were by no means elated over the way in which they had won, as It waa their belief that the Yankee would have outsailed the Dominion In actual competition. Indeed, all conditions, at the time of the accident, pointed to that result.

The triangular course was the one laid out for yesterday's race, four miles around and three times traversed. The yachts got away during the noon hour in a high wind and restless sea. At the first buoy the Dominion led the Yankee by a minute and a half. In the reach for the second mark the American began to gain. The Dominion mistook her course and going inside the mark, was obliged to gybe before rounding it.

In the meantimo, the Yankee had turned and was speeding on the third leg. Just after gybing the mainsail, the Domin ion's mast broke In half, disabling the yacht completely. She had to be towed back. The Yankee finished the second round of tho course and then followed the Dominion to the anchorage. YACHTING NOTES.

STATEN ISLAND NOTES. The Democratic and Republican leaders of Richmond borough are guessing Just at present in regard to the movement started by a number of influential business men ot Port Richmond, West Brighton and Stapleton for a divorce from the Greater New York. The movement has such solid backing and the people are so unanimously In favor of it that the political leaders fear to antagonize It. T.ie Democratic organization is. of course, opposed to separation from the city but It Is sold that the leaders will make a bid for tho vote of the kickers by advocating more home rule for the borough and a better distribution of improvements.

The ilepubllean leaders are all in favor of separation, it Is said, and are only held in line for the city form of government by the leaders in Manhattan. Whether these will have influence enough to keep the organization in line this fail is problematical. The Republicans believe that by breaking away from the city organization and advocatlug separation this fall they can win a great victory. As a county Judge and surrogate, county clerk, member of Assembly, alderman and two municipal court Judges are to be chosen this fall, this temptation will be great. Petitions arc now in circulation organizing the movement for a divorce.

It is proposed to make but one nomination, that for member of Assembly, and have him sent to Albany with the bill placing Richmond as sho was before January 1. 189S. Tho raon behind the plan believe that the up the state members of the legislature will heed Richmond's appeal and vote against the metropolitan members, who. It is believed, will oppose the separation If this plan can be carried out it is then proposed to place Richmond under a separate form of city government. This will reduce the number of office holders under the oid county government and at the same time give home rule.

The question of a separate city government was agitated in and the old board of supervisors went so far as to appoint a committee of citizens to draw up a charter for submission to the legislature. The Greater New York agimlon divided the committee, and although a report was finallv made, it. recommended delaying the matter until It was seen whether Richmond would go Into the greater city. It Ir, now proposed to begin where that committee left off. The new Richmond Bench.
