GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAT

There was great surprise in the pedes-
trian contest at the Central Rink yesterday.
Neremac suddenly collapsed early in the
morning and Hegelman went to the front.
A short time before noon the record was:
Hegelman, 4oS, and Noremac, 3SS This
caused the widest excitement among the
people who watched the race during the II
hours of daylight. Hegelman was going
like a streak of lightning. Sud-
denly Noremac became sick and
left the track. At this unexpected turn
of affairs there was the widest CONSERVATION.
Charges of foul play and swindling were
banded round freely. Groups Of spectators
were arguing themselves black in the face as
Hegelman took the lead and increased it mile
after mile in NOremac's absence. Interested
people went 70 Noremae's cot and found that
he was q very sick man. his friends had given
up all hope of victory. Noremac, however,
regained his vigor and reappeared. He was
presented with several $40 bills, and the little
fellow gamely set to work 10 make up lost time
Hegelman was looking weary and Connors
who had gone into second place, was appa-
rently distressed Noremac plodded away, and
at times made remarkable spurts He vomited
once or twice, but that only seemed to
invigorate him. As evening approached he be-
gan to weary Hegelman, and the latter left the
track thoroughly exhausted. Noremac contin-
ued and didn't stop until he was about five
miles ahead of Hegelman.
THERE WERE LOUD CHEERS.
This performance caused the loudest and the
most enthusiastic cheers Noremac is really
favorite, but probably Hegelman as a stronger
one. The latter has surprised all of his friends
and hackers, and even himself, by staying SO
np,Ir ,,ln has
seems as if the little Scouchman will down two
plncky fellows like Connors and Hegelman.
Despite the fact of the law and all tnjunc-
tions by Manager Davis there is betting going
on at a lively rate, just as there would at
church cake walk One well known sport bet
$50 to SIS on the field against Noremac last
evening when Hegelman was in front. He
offered to bet $500 at the same rate Of odds, but
there were no takers. Begelman went to bed,
however, and there was great change in the
appearance of things. Evens we're offered on
Noremac against the field with no takers.
Pete Golden's friends were on hand and wanted
to bet 500 to $500 that he would cover 40 miles
There we're no takers except one man who bet
500 to SIS that Golden would not get over the
limit. Golden, about 8 O'Clock, said that he
was feeling well and thought he was sure to
cover 415
Nolan was completely knocked out His left
foot was in a horrible shape. It was swollen
terribly, and his ankle was all disjointed. He
was located at the track side, thorough Grip
pie, and cheering every man who made good
effort MeSSier reappearoQ ana SpurneQ Ine
notion that he had been drugged. He COM
planned of a sick stomach, but he attributed it
TO the absence of the proper food. He was 60
ing well after supper, but with little hope OF
getting over the mark. Cartwright displayed
some fast running, although he has not
vet proven that he is game man.
ANYBODY who legtimately breaks
down cannot very well come and run mile at
a three-minute or six-minute gait. Doubtless
if Cartwright had the pluck of Pete Golden.
he could earn the 81 600 or s., 500 of this race
easily The winner will at least get about
Sl.5O0 if the attendance is as 1t ought to be.
Nobody knows who will be first, and most
aSsuredly there will be a great struggle
to-day. A good prize will probably teach
such as Cartwright that 81 900 or 81, 500 here is
Just as valuable as a 500 or $500 for fourth or
fifth place at Madison Square.
NoREMAC SHOWS HIMSELF.
At midnight Noremac and Hegelman left
the track. Golden, who had taken precedence
as far as Adams was concerned, was going
quite lively. Adams came out and challenged
Golden, but the latter caused Adams to
take rest Golden is really q
game man, and he had friend or
and finish it." Golden really is doing well, and
it is Just as exciting to find out whether or not
he will cover as miles as whether Connors or
Hegelman will defeat Noremac. Peter
Golden wanted tonight to sleep SIX hours,
and those who have bet that he will not
cover 4T5 will probably have to pay their money
as hats Golden is really the most remarkable
ON the track. If he was a talkative man he
might tell about his suferings. However, he
is a proof of human endurance under diff
culties. He is likely now to cover AS miles.
