Rutt and Clarke Are Second

Bicyciisf. Run Too Fast Early in the Week and wesr Themselves Down So That Only Seven of the
 Teams Finish

New York, December 10.-Edde Root of the Root-Meran team finished first to- night in the final mile dash that decided the six-day bike race at Madison Square Garden. lis time for the mile was 8 minutes, 56 1-5 seconds, and his distance kfor the sit days 2545 miles. laps.

 reo5rd is 2737 miles, lap, made by Mac Frland and Moran in 1908. l Slow as the pace this year shows on fhe average and totals, it was marked by bursts of furious sprinting. In the early hours. while the weaker teams were being shaken out, the riders were far ahead Of all previous figures, but when the com petition narrowed down to the real con- tenders there was a slackening of inter est until penalties began to occur
 Two veteran teams-Clarke-N NdacFarla and Rutt- -Stol-dsbanded and formed tho reconstructed team of Rutt-Clarke. which accepted the penalty of two laps, always
 imposed on new partners. MacFarland became their coaching leader and the new alignment provoked the bitterest jealousy among the remaining leaders. The others succeeded in tapping Rutt and Clarke once and it was apparent from then on that the real struggle was to keep the new team out of tho final sprint. But Rutt and Clarke were not discour- aged. By hard sprinting they won back the lost distance early this morning and from then until the teams withdrew for slackened and the riders merely loafed around the wooden bowl with only an occasional spurt by some tailender In the decisive mile Root lead at a slow pace in the first three laps. Root lead at an increased pace during the next two laps and then went at racing speed and beat Clarke home hy half wheel.
 There were few serious accidents, but there wass much fouling and the judges imposed many penalties for unfair jockey ing pocketing and improper reliefs.

Fletcher,s Scheme Collnp.es

New York, December 10.-News from Chicago of the reported collapse of D. A. Fletcher's Third league" movement caused little surprise and seemingly less regret in baseball circles here today. It was understood that Fletcher had reached some kind of an understanding with the leaders in control of organized baseball.
 Discussion in this connection now chiefly oenters on the status of the star players who signed optional contracts with the outlaw organizations promoter. One of these men is Russell Ford, the premier twirler of the IIighlanders.
 Ford is said to have had a chance to sign a $4SO0 contract with Owner Frank Farrell for 1911, but instead put his name to the s5000 Fletcher option. There is considerable interest in the final terms the young slabman will make with the local American league organization.
