FRENCH RUNNERS GAINING

They Hold Big Lead In Six Days’ Go* as-You-Please. New York, March 12. —Averaging a fraction over five miles an hour, Cibot and Orphee, the French runners, are gaining in the six day go-as-you-please race.

Today they have almost a nineteenpille lead. There is little likelihood that the record of 770 miles 1 lap, made in 1902, will be beaten. The score is: Cibot-Orphee, 524.8; Davis-Metkus, 506.4; Dineen-Prouty, 487.5; Loeslein-Klubertanz, 477.4; Cor-ey-Hegelman. 466.3.
