Columbian hcelmen.

The members OF the Columbian Wheel
men are getting together md preparing
plans for the spring and summer road rid
ing. President Robert G. Williams, ha.
called meeting of the executive commit
lee for the purpose of talking over the
future work Of the club. Capt. Ed s
Byrnes has called run Tor this morning
to Marlboro Md. and members are ex-
pectcd TO leave the Hotel Regent at .
o'clock.
The boys are pleased 10 learn that the
new club uniforms hav. arrived and Il
number OF the members have purchased
the same and hereafter the red and grey
will be seen on the road. The disagreed
BILE weather extending through the past
several weeks has operated against road
and general riding in the club, but now
that good weather is at hand the members
have put on their hustling clothes and viii
endesvor TO get on the band wagon with
The other local cycle clubs.
The road officers request all members TO
make every effort to attend todays Iun
and TO invite their friends to join in This
pleasant trip TO the southern Maryland
town. The club while in Marlboro y i'll be
the guest of Mr.. Harry Gore, at one time
a weIl-known mud horse" during the old
days of century riding.
Captain Byrnes is in receipt of a letter
from Fred Nolkman, who, IL will he re-
membcred, was one of the popular road
riders year or two ago, and a member Of
the late Century Cycle Club. Fred is To-
Gated at Albany and is still the same
hustler in bike riding as of old and shows
some Of lie New York boys his rear wheel
on many occasions.

THE BASEBALL OUTLOOK.
Conference May Result in Harmony
Among the Clubs.

Every day brings forth some thing new
in the baseball situation, and there IS a
state OF doubt and uncertainty as to what
the outcome will be. 1t was confidently
stated on Thursday evening that all details
had been arranged, that the Eastern
League management would place clubs in
Washington and Baltimore that Tom
Burns would manage the Washington club
and Barnie would control the Baltimore
team. Specials from New York on Friday
told that this arrangement had miscarried,
that the Providence and Hartford clubs
the two clubs to be transferred 20 Wash
ngton and Baltimore, spectively-had
determined to remain where they were.
and that President Powers and his asso-
clates in order to hold Washington and
Baltimore, would establish ten-cub
league, and that negotiations TO that end
with John |. RogersSepresenting the Ma
tional League, had been entered into. Ii
has not been stated who will undertake
the management and control OF the Wash
ington and Baltimore clubs, or rather, who
will assume the responsibilities of getting
the teams together, as it Will require
money, brains, perseverance, and nerve.
With the surplus players now available,
Baltimore and Washington could organize
teams that would so far outclass any of
the present clubs in the Eastern League
that it would make the proposed organiza-
ton unwieldly and unsatisfactory, as was
the ease in the National League. Three
or four clubs might exc out a preca:ious
existence, while others would be dismal
failures. Washington and Baltimore Will
demand good ball playing; anything short
of that would prove financially fatal to
the promoters, and the men who are
fathering this new scheme doubtless under
stand the situation.
The meeting of committee from the
Eastern League, and Col. John l. Rogers,
in Philadelphia, on Friday. resulted only
in an understanding. There was no de-
clared purpose upon the part OF the East
ern League people to accept the terms
proposed. in the first place, President
Powers wanted an option on the Baltimor,.
and Washington franchises for a three
years lease. which was refused, Colonel
Rogers Offering to give a lease for one
year only. The question of rental was
another rock which threatened trouble,
and which will probably block all further
negotiations.
The committee returned 10 New York
