Lipten’s challenge for the America’s cup has been sent to New York. ir the course of an interview Saturday evening in London he said: “A deputation of three members of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club met me and Mr. Russell in London tlis morning and drew up the challeng>, which was forthwith ca- bled to the New York Yacht Club, whose reply I hope to receive on Monday. “The challenge is absolutely condition- less, as I am perfectly satisfied thgt the race will be conducted with the same im- partiality as are the Ccwes races, and that all Americans desire the best boat to win, as my colleigues and myself do. “The details of the races, if the challenge is accepted, will be arranged by the New York Yacht Club and Mr. Russell, who ex- pects to sail on Wedresday and prepare the ground for three members of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, including Secretary who will proceed to New York later. ‘My boat will be a ninety-footer, cutter “gged. The design and model of the Sham rock are already completed, as I have been werking for months to consummate my Purpose. The yacht will be completed by the middle or end of February. “There have been some efforts to secure the services of Capt. William O'Neill as skipper, but this has not been definitely Ke! settled. I hope also that Mr. John Jame- son, owner of the Iverna, will help us race the Shamrock.” To Defend the Cup. It is reported that the syndicate which Successfully defended the America’s cup with the Bristol-builtt yacht Defender is to have another and much faster sloop than the Herreshoff's have heretofore launched to meet the Shamrock. Mr. Iselin will be in Providence soon, and a meeting with the Herreshoffs will prob- ably be held at Bristol. Just how much the Herreshoffs will -be required to beat their former craft is one of the things which will be settled by the meeting with Mr. Iselin. Capt. “Nat” Herreshoff has recently been quoted as ng that improved lines would enable an increased speed of from ten to fifteen seconds a mile.

All interest in the game between Cieve- land and Washington at Philadelphia ball park Saturday was gone after the first inning, when the Indians knocked Pitcher Mercer out of the box and scored four runs. During the remainder of the contest the handful of spectators present amused themselves by “kidding” “Patsy” ‘Tebeau and hooting Umpire Lynch's decisions on balls and strikes, which really were weird and wonderful. Donovan, who relieved Mercer in the sec- ond, was effective, but very wild. He gave six bases on balls in the third and fourth innings, and clever fielding by the Senators prevented Cleveland from scoring several more runs. ‘The Washington batters could do nothing with Powell’s delivery, and save for two bases on balls in the third they would have been shut out. A pretty running catch by Gettman of a long hit from Tebeau’s bat in the sixth, which looked good for at least two bases, was the only fielding feature of the game. Score: Cleveland, 5; Washington, 1. Other Saturday Scores, Pittsburg, Baltimore, 1. Cincinnati, 2; Boston, 1, Chicago, 1; Philadelphia, 0 New York, 6; St. Louis, 6. Louisville, 5; Brooklyn, 4. What Philadelphia Writers Say, Gettman’s catch of Tebeau’s fly in the sixth was a fast piece of work. Smith is the tallest third baseman in the league. It is not often that Selbach strikes out twice in one game. Donovan was wild, but effective. Wagner replaced Wrigley at short. It was a good game after the first inning. Weshington has picked up two promising your gsterg in Dineen and Donovan. Smith made a great one-handed pick up of Powell's hard-hit grounder in the first, a double play resulting. Wallace made a phenomenal stop of Wag- ner's hard grounder in the seventh, but could not retire the runner. . Gettman tried to take second on “Ander- son's fly to Blake in the first inning, but the clever right flelder caught him by a great throw. McGuire hit a solid one down the first base lMne in the eighth that ordinarily would have been good for two bases, but Blake caught him lumbering toward sec- ond. McGuire lost his head in the third inning and was about to throw Powell's bunt hit to first, when Farrell called for him to step on the plate, which he did, and then turning he caught the batter at first, com- pleting a double. Selbach is one of the most punctilious players in the major league. He never takes his position at the bat until he has carefully knocked every particle of dirt clinging to his spikes, adjusted his belt and drawn his trousers up to the proper height, and, finally, pulls his cap down tightly on his head. He then faces the pitcher, and, being one of the most clever and foxy bat- ters in the business, he stands a good chance of getting on first. New York Won Twice. The New Yorks’ winning streak was continued yesterday at St. Louis, when they defeated the Browns in two games, the first by 12 to 1 and the second by 8 to 6. Seymour held the home club down to five hits in the first game, while in the second both pitchers were hit hard, but the hits of the New Yorks were more timely.

A special from Cincinnati says that Pres- ident Young has taken a different view in the Freedman-Holmes matter from the one expressed in his written statement some days ago. in that statement he said “the matter is now in the hands of the Inter- esied clubs, and my hands are tied until they move.” After Hanlon’s telegram de- manding that he take action President Young informed Freedman that he would have to send on those fines of $1,000 and $100, respectively, or his team would be disqualified. Mr. Freedman, after the wise manner of Davy Creckett’s coon, cried, E YN ‘come down.” He sident Young that checks for the amount of the fines had been forwarded, and Mr. Robert Young, President Young's son, wired t league’ president that tne checks had ai rived. “A meeting of the board of directors is to be held shortly, probebly in Philadel- phia, to decide upon Freedman’ President Young is at Cincinnati, guest of Secretary Ashley Lloyd of Cincinnati club. the Frank De H Robison, the Cleveland owner, is at Cincinnati, all sorts o stories are afloat about hase ball deals changes in the near future. Neither he nor Brush nor Young will admit t thing new is contemplated. the Cleveland club may be transferred to Indianapolis next season, or to St. Louis or Philadelphia or Buffalo. is probable that all these plans have been discussed and it is thought that nothing yet has been decided. ONE HUNORE RVIVED. Open Century Run of the Century Cyele Clup. The first open century run of the season of the Century Cycle Club was held yester- day, and was a successful event. There were 126 starters, and out of this number 100 survived and will beentitled tothe hand- some gold-plated medal that will shortly be awarded. The ride was one of the easi- est centuries ever held in the city, and every one who participated was highly pleased over the manner in which the run was conducted. A slow and even pace was kept, and its value was demonstrated by the fact that out of the 100 survivors nine- ty of the number finished in one bunch. The other ten straggled in, and some took the full time allowed to deposit their checks. One of the features was the successful riding of the distance by two ladies. Mrs. Mary Park, the wife of Harry Park, the weil-known trick rider, and Miss May Rog- erson, were the two, and their riding all during the course was good, surprising many of the male riders. In ‘the century last fall one young lady, Miss Lillian Smith, managed to finish and received a medal, These three are perhaps the only members of the fair sex in this city who have ever succeeded in riding the full distance in the time allowed. At the finish yesterday the pacemakers’ sashes were given to Mrs. Park and Miss Rogerson, and they assum- ing the lead carried the riders at a rattling good clip from Massachusetts avenue and P streets to the club house, the end of the ride. An unusually large crowd at the finish witnessed the incoming of the dusty riders, As the bunch appeared five minutes before the scheduled time there was plenty of hand clapping and cheering. The clubhouse of the Century boys was thrown open dur- ing the afternoon for the accommodation of the friends of the riders. The attractive appearance of the place created much favorable comment. The route of the century was published in The Star Saturday and was followed to the letter. On the ride in the forenoon the contestants were fully three-quarters of an hour ahead of the schedule, and at one time more than an hour. While the riders were scheduled to arrive at Cabin John bridge at lo o'clock, the bunch passed through Georgetown before ¥ o'clock. On account of this good time a rest of some minutes was made at the bridge, and then the ride resumed to the Anglers’ club house, re- turning to the city without a stop, fully half an hour ahead of the schedule. “While the riders living in the western section of the city were permitted to check just out- side of Gcorgetown, they were not com- pelled to ride to Washington before leaving the ranks for the two hours of rest allowed them. When at Ashton, Md., in the afternoon, there was a lively windstorm for several minutes, and it looked as though all would be drenched, but this did not happen. A few miles outside of Ashton it was found that there had been a good rain, and for five or six miles the roads were somewhat muddy, but not too bad to ride. There were nc serious accidents on the trip, though several spills occurred. Perhaps the most narrow escape happened in the morning to Mrs. Park. While riding down in the car track from North Takoma her wheel slipped and threw her almost in front of a rapidly approaching car, which was coming down grade at a good clip. On the outward trip one rider slipped at the car track in front of the Union station and five other riders went down with him. At the bend in the road near the lower reservoir 3ix more men went down in an accident. Several wheels were injured, but no riders were hurt. On the return’ trip one of the members of the Capital Bi. Club sustained a broken fork a few miles out from eBurnt Mills, which prevented him from finishing. Punctures were numerous on the ride, but these were repaired by willing hands. The action of the club men of the Century Club in helping the disabled in this respect is worthy of much praise. The handsome silk flag offered as a] trophy to the club bringing in the largest number of survivors will not be awarded. The rules of the ride calls for a repre. sentation of at least fifteen men from each club at the ‘start. The Arlingtons had eleven men, the Levant Wheelmen six, and the Capital Bi. Club four or five men in line. Men from these clubs were selected to help pace the bunch. The pacemakers for the entire route were: Washington to stream, Ed. Hutchinson and Robert Williams; stream to Washing- ton, William C. O'Connor and Howard Fisk; Washington to Anglers’ Club and re- turn to city, Edward J. Murphy and Will- jam Mah Washington to Olney, Walter Allen and Robert Stone; Olney to Burnt Mills, Capt. McDaniels and Robert Dim- mick; Burnt Mills to Sligo and Sligo to Washington, L. P. Keller, A. W. Balden and William Brearley. The checks will be assorted tonight after UGUST A Ute Uh Our Great Stock-Tak- , Ing Sale Really begins tomorrow.

He rode the mile paced by three wonderfully fast quint teams in 1.32 3-5, cutting nearly three sec- onds from the record of 1.35 2-5 held by Eddie McDuffie of Boston, and J. W. Stocks of England. Fifteen of the fastest riders on the pace- making team of the American Association were placed on quints to‘ pace him. The start was a faultless one and from the very shot of the pistol the wee Frenchman flew at a terrific pace directly at the rear wheel of the big multicycles, which thundered around the board course: He went the first third in 30 2-5 seconds, the second third in 311-5 and the last in 31, making @ total of 1.82 8-5. at ‘The spectators seemed to know ae was breaking records, for they began caeering him.

The races were badly managed, and the referee was not on hand to decide in the Titus-Anderson race. STAR POI GREAT WORK. R The Great Pacer Covers a Mile in Loo 14. Fully 5,000 persons were in attendance in the afternoon at Columbus, Ohio, Saturday, being attracted by the announcement that Star Pcinter, the pacer, would attempt to lower the track record of 2:011-2 made last year by Joe Patchen in his race with Pointer. Early in the afternoon McCleary drove Pointer around the track to warm him up. It was after 4 o’clock when Pointer Was brought out for the test. The breeze, which had blown up the stretch at a merry clip for several hours, had died down, and the pennant on the judges’ stand clung to the staff. The first time Pointer was brought down to the wire he did not have his stride and went al- mest to the half before he turned back. It was about 4:21 when Geers brought Pointer down the second time. The stallion was steady as a machine and Geers nedded for the word. George pear drove the pacemaker, a runner, hitched to a sulky, afd the ‘start was a@ beautiful one. The crowd was on its feet before Pointer was under the wire, and there was a painful silence until the stal- Mon reached the quarter, when the an- houncement of the time, 1-2, brought fort; a shout, for it was certain Pointer was giving a remarkable performance. There was another shout when Pointer reached the half in 581-2, and still an- other when he reached the three-quarter pole in 1:233-4. As Pointer came into the stretch, his feet plowed up the dust as the bow of a tug plows unsmooth water. There was a smile on McCleary’s face, and When the runner moved up at the finish Pointer pushed his nose ahead and kept it there until he passed under the wire. A mighty cheer went up from the crowd, for the next instant the time, 1:59 1-4, was an- napnced. FISHER WON, Finals and Singles in the Wentworth | £P&ctators.. The Ellwood Futurity, with fournament.
