RIDERSINSIX-DAY
RICE ■ OUT
8f PACE SET
N'lIW Y'HIK. Dee. 13.—The ~ix
day bicycle riders pulled oft
sort of a left-handed strike
today and refused to ride on the
saucer-shaped track For a long
time they eireled Madison Square
Garden slowly on the "Hat” with
in tlie truck. They believed
that the speed thej had made was
too great to permit them tv last
throughout the race, so they
slowed up.
As a result, they fell materially
behind the old record. At 8 o’clock
they had covered only 2.007 miles
and 6 laps, as compared with 2,015
miles and 2 laps, made by Collins
and Pye in 1911. At that time the
teams which were tied were: Kra
mer and Moran, Pye and Grenada,
Perehieot and Egg; Root and He
hir, Itutt and Fogler, Clarke and
'Hill, Bedell and Millen. Cameron
and Walthour, Walker and Wells.
Broeco and Befthel, Drobaeh and
Collins, Ryan and Thomas.
By 9 o’clock, the 105th hour, the
twelve leaders were 13 miles and 4
laps behind- the record niadr by
.Millet and Waller in 1899. They
had then covered 2.019 miles and 8
laps. The two trailing teams were
two laps behind.
Last night there were accidents
galore. Once Oscar Egg. of the
French team, erash.u into Bobbj
Walthour's wheel on one of the
turns shortly before 10 o’clock.
Both .were thrown. While Egg re
gained his feet and wheel, Wal
thour was picked up unconscious.
It was found later that Bobby was
not seriously injured, and he Intel*
reappeared on the track.
Between 9 and II o’clock th,re
were several sprints, in the most
sensational one, at 10:35 o’clock,
the Grenada-Pye combination
seemed to have practically gained
a lap,.but the referee did not allow
it rm the ground that the riders had
not quite overlapped the leaders
when the sprint ended by a punt
ture of Fogler's tire.
At 10 a. in., the 106th hour, tile
twelve leading teams had covered
2,033 miles and 6 laps. 17 miles ami
1 lap behind tin record made by
Miller and Waller in 1899. Twelve
teams were tied.

It Is believed that the players have
gotten over their stag" fright ami but
ter-lingering. This was the one rea
son why they did not run up an un

then.
One tiling can be said about the lo- j
cals and that is they are certainly muc h
better on handling the ball with one I
liand this year than last and they will)
win a good lot. of games by this art. too. I
The team will lie much stronger this
week, as Dußard will be on the Job at
center. Dußard is in the game from
start to linisli. and the Iqd that keeps
up with him or puts one over on him
will have to go some.
