They were certain that some one had hoodooed them and stopped their hltt lug. One morning, Reilly bad a brilliant idea, lie summoned the small negro l>oy who was acting as mascot for the elub and loaded him down with bats, piling on all the hnta Itelonglug to the club.

In another spirited effort cnrly to day to regain thin Inp they were pennllxnd, stirred the thousands of spectators to n state of freniy.

Then tbefo was a burst of speed ou the part of the other contest ants never before equaled In the race. While the crowd Jumped to its feet and yelled like Indians. Can’t Gain Loat Lap. Around and around the track at tremen dous speed went the bunch In pursuit of the American champion. The tnaddlug pace was kept up for three miles, when Walthour was overhauled. Then Bedell took his place. The lap the two hnd been trying for was not gullied. The riders were 6$ miles, 7 laps behind the record of Elkca ami MacFurlsnd, made In 1900. but were S3 miles uud I Inp Hhcad of last year's score at the flfty-aecond hour. . The fact that tho riders were far ahead of last year's record is due prlucipully to the constant grind of foreigners, especially of Breton and Vanonl, who ore constantly in the lead and sett lug the pace. Not oucc during the long grind has either of these two relinquished their hold on the leader ship. At s a. m. nil luiil gone 1.033 miles and 3 laps except Walthour and Bedell. Bobby’s “Kids" Thera. When Walthour appeared on the track Thursday afternoon he was greeted by his w|f# and 4 year-ohl son, Bobbie. Jr., and Iris little daughter. Viva, who occupied a liox. “Papa, papa.’’ cheered flu* little fellow a* bis father joined the other racers, clap ping bla tiny bauds gleefully, as he reeog- nlsad bis father. The three made a very pretty picture, little Viva’s flowlug curls clustering about her chubby face with one of'ber mother's arms n-htlng on her shoul der, while little Bobbie, Jr., his face barely showing over the rail, stood up and cheer ed himself hoarse. When the crowd l*eoanu» aware of the presence of Mrs. Walthour and her two pretty little ones they redoubled their • beers for Bobby. Kr. “Go Jf, Bobby." came from all sides, as'the popular rider set out to hit up the pace, ana “now's the time to make up that lap," they shouted encouragingly, but, although Walthour forced Breton nud Mac Farland to renewed speed, Ids efforts brought the coveted lap no nearer. BEDELL A GAME ONE. Marvelous indeed Is the pluck shown by Sneaked Away From Bunch Early Wednes day Morning and Set Mile-a-Minute Clip, But Was Overtaken by Other Riders. Johnny Bedell, the team mate of Bobby Walthour. For twenty-four hours, or up to G a. m. today, not a morsel of food has passed his Bps. Bedell Is suffering from ftciito Indiges tion. Although suffering Intense agony,' Bedell, during the past twenty hours, Iion done most of the pednlllng for his team, but leaving most of the sprinting to Walthour.

The question of tho exact character of the accidents that put the partners of Hob by Wnltboor and John Bedell out of the six day race nud tho reason that Walthour and Bedell nre now one lap behind the other riders In the big rare have been worrying Atlanta eiithuslusts. The reason that the two riders are a lap to tho bad Is easy. That Is the poualty, exacted under the rules, when two men drop out and tlielr partners combine In one team. As a matter of fact, neither Walthour nor Bedell lost a lap. They were Just penalized that distance. A careful |>erusal of the New York papers does not reveal for a certainty the cause of the accident that put McLean out of bust. vhut The Globe lias to say This I about it: “Vamlerstuyft, the Dutchman, had Just spurted and was dropping buck when Me- Lean made a dash.
