FIRST CENTURY BY MOTORCYCLE.
Baltimore Man Does the Distance In
side Eight Hours.


side Eight Hours.
Mr.. Frank l. Clark of Baltimore made
yesterday century ride on motorcycle,
and believes it was the first ever made on
such a machine. He was accompanied by
members OF the Century Cycling Club of
Maryland. He made the 100 miles within
eight hours, the time limit, by a close mar
gin, after hair-raising finish.
When he had but two miles to make, he
punctured his tire. After the damage was
repaired he had but six minutes left for the
two miles. Edward Lotz accompanied him,
and he covered the distance in five minutes
Mr.. Clarke described his ride as follows:
The pair left Baltimore at 7:16 am, and
rode to the Eastern roads. The wind was
strong and conditions very unfayorable
The cyclists had to walk over eight places
on account OF the mud. Mr.. Clark stopped
four times to renew cylinder Oil In the en-
gine, and three times to replenish with
gasoline. On the Eastern avenue road Lotz
cut tire and half an hour was lost.
They report that they did not have a
hitch with the motor bicycle up to the time
of the ninety-ninth mile, and they had thir-
ty-dye minutes to make less than two miles
Then the puncture came. The actual riding
time for the motorcycle was computed as
six hours.

reasons, which. taken in conjunction. tell
all the story. One is the already explained
fact that nearly all the jumpers were the
discontented ambitious players. The
other reason has been kept buried. but was
let out by Jimmy Callahan the other day.
Said he:
"If a lot of theorists, who know nothing
about the practical working of base ball,
had appealed to the players. they would
have been given the haha. But what can
a ball player say when Mack, McGraw,
Duffy, Comiskey and Manning come after
him? Isn't it to be supposed that those
men know their business? Is 1t to be
imagined that old players. such as they
are would risk the savings of lifetime
unless they had the cash behind them and
knew just where they were at? Isn't II
right to believe that they know more about
the game than the National Leaguers, VINO
have never been actual players? 1t was
show me- and the American League feI-
lows showed. .
There is the cogent reason. Old ball
players who know their business have
coaxed the younger men to sign.
Fined for Sunday Ball Playing.
In the circuit court at Fort Wayne, Ind.
Saturday Judge ORourke handed down
an opinion reversing the decision OF
Justice Butterman in the case of the sew
eral Fort Wayne and Dayton base bah
players arrested last season for playing
ball on Sunday. Justice Butterman had
fined the defendants 1 cent and costs.
Judge O'Rourke fined them s. and costs,
amounting to $500, and in so doing scored
the decision of the lower court as a dis
grace to the laws and dignity of the state"
