"I was expecting the next ball to be a curve, but Rucker sent it straight across the plate.

I ran as fast as I could and overtook Groh between second and third. “ ‘Hurry up!’ I said. “ ‘What’s the use?’ he replied; ‘it’s a home run.’ “Afld that’s what it was. As I trotted across the plate a mighty cheer went up from the stands and an army of fans jumped over the railings and they fairly swarmed about me. “McGraw came up as 1 was changing my clothes. . “ ‘Well.’ he said. ‘I guess you’ll get so you can make that play at third after a while.’ "That was all he said, making no mention of the home run.

Dec. ,14.— The American team made up of Frank Kramer and Jimmy Moran lost a lap in a wild sprint in the six-day btke race at Madison Square Garden early today. Up to that time the two Ameri cans had been the favorite in the ’ betting. Moran who was riding at the time,’gradually fell behind as the riders tore around the track at a terrific elip for 17 minutes, and when he was nearly three-fourths of a lap behind he toppled from his wheel. The judges declared it was intentional and penalized the team one lap. The score at 8 a. nt., the I2Sth hour, follows: Kramer and .Moran, 2.444 miles. Pye and Grenda, 2,444.1. Perchicot and Egg. 2.444. Rutt and Fogler, 2,444.1. Root and Hehir, 2,444.1. Clarke and Hill, 2,444.1. Bedell and Millen, 2,444.1. Walker and Wells, 2,443.9. Broeeo and Berthel, 2,443.9.

During the night leaders were re duced to seven teams and the loss of a lap by Kramer and Moran brought it down to six. Suter brothers were forced out of the race by a sprint after they had gamely trailed the field for many hours. Bobby Walthour, a member of the Dixie-New York team and the hero of many a six-day race, was forced to retire because of injuries received in a fail. George Cam eron, Walthour's partner, then teamed up with Lloyd Thomas, of the Irish team. This left twelve teams in the race. Old-timers at the Garden said th. racing was the most spectacular since six-day cycling was inaugu rated there twenty years ago. A spill last night by Egg, who escaped unhurt, and Ryan, whose collarbone was broken, enlivened the race. Ryan was removed to join Magin, who was taken to a hos pital after receiving a like injury Tuesday. Collins was fined $25, the referee declaring he “stalled,” keeping oth er riders back while the Grenada- Pye and Ryan-Thomas teams were gaining a lap. The gain of these teams was not allowed. The score at 10 a. m.. the 130tb hour, was: Pye and Grenda, 2,467 miles 8 laps. Root and Hehir, 2,467.8. Clarke and Hill, 2,467.8. Rutt and Fogler, 2,467.8.
