THE ARLINGTON CENTURY RUN.
Many Of the Riders Succeed in Re-
ducfng the Records.

The second open century OF the season,
under the auspices of the Arlington Wheel
men, was run yesterday. The event was
most successful and the hundred mile
records for century road riding in Wash
ington and the surrounding country were
very materially reduced The weather was
all that could be desired and the roads
were in excellent condition, being free
from both mud and dust. The route Sc
lected for the run was an entirely new
one and proved to be the best thus far
tested.
The riders of the fourteen hour class
started from the corner of Fourteenth
Street and New York Avenue al 6 o'clock
in the morning and were given until s
O'Clock in the evening to complete the
course. Thirty wheelmen entered this
class, and nearly all were able TO finish.
There were twenty-four riders in the
eight hour class, and fifteen of these
finished. In both classes the schedule
time was exceeded for nearly the entire
distance. The fourteen hour men were at
nearly all times of the day fully thirty five
minutes ahead of the prescribed time.
The riding of the eight-hour class was
the feature of the event. The one hundred
mile tandem road record for Washington
and vicinity was lowered an hour and
forty-ive minutes the successful riders
start, succeeded in keping ahead Of all
competitors. Their time was five hours
and fifty-five minutes. The previous best
time was seven hours and thirty-fve min
utes, made in 1897. John and Henry
Walker came next their time being six
hours and fifteen minutes. The last of
the tandem riders were Mitchell and Lib
hey. who made the distance in six hours
and thirty-five minutes. The first single
rider to finish was Robert Stone. time,

THE BALTIMORE FRANCHISE.
A Deal Looking Toward Its Purchase
Said 10 BE on Foot.

New York, May lit is not at all un-
likely that deal will be made in few
days BY which the Ba,timor= Baseball
Club will pass out of the hands of. Von-
derhorst. Abel, Ebbetts. and Hanlon.
Since the consolidation of the Baltimore
ani Brooklyn clubs was effected there has
been des,ie on the part of the owners
to unload their holdings in Baltimore. The
cry OF syndicate BALI has not been rel
ished by the Brooklyn Tagnates, but they
have been helpless Within the past
week, however, negotiations have been un-
der way, IL is said, by which the Balti-
more club will be purchased, players,
franchise, and all for about $4,000 in
cash II is reported that two of former
United States Senator Arthur p German S
political lieutenants, J. j. Mahon and John
Quinn, of Baltimore, have received an op-
tion on the club and will buy it In few
days.
Mahon is the father-in-law OF Joe kel-
ly. Captain of the Brooklyn team, and is
said TO be worth plenty of money. Mahon
is anxious 10 have Kelley in Baltimore
and it is understood that he will make
this q stipulation, suggesting that Hanlon
take Brodie from the Baltimores and also
call back Nike Griffin, who was recently
sold by Brooklyn tc St Louis, but who
refuses to play ball with Tebeau's team.
From Baltimore comes the statement that
the patrons Of the game there will well
come this change and will literally sup
port the Orioles under the joint manage
ment of McGraw. Robinson, and Kelley.
IL is further stated that If Mahon gets
the club, money will be expended for sew
eral new players.
The Baltimore club has franchise in
| the National League which cannot be taken
away until 1901. As that city is set down
for franchise In the proposed new Ameri-
can Association, Mahon's investment ap-
pears to be safe. II the League is anx-
