THE FIvE-MILE NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP RACE.
Won by a Minncapolitan with

FOur-MiIe Record Broken.
lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch

CHICAGO, August 1.-The mornipgpro.
/ gramme Of the League OF American
Wheelmen tournament brought out
small audience. The first race was the
trial one-mile handicap in six heats.
Tuttle won the first heat time, 2:l3 30

2:12; HIGHLAND, the fourth heat, in
2:l4 2-5; AL. L. Baker, the fifth heat,
in 2:l01-5. The sixth heat was won by
Z. II. Sercomb in 2:l3 40.
The first heat of the quarter-mile ma
tional championship race was won by
Zimmerman in wonderful form. be
shot ahead at the start and kept his
great pace in front, although Tuttle
pushed him hard, finishing only fifteen
feet behind. Time, 32. Johnson, in
the second heat, finished q dead-heat
with II. g. Tyler in 80 1-5.
In the first heat Of the two-mile handi.
cap Meintz won by forty feet, in 400,
ahead of j. Bliss Lamsden won the
second heat, time, 4:23; J.. j. Branden-
burg the third, time, 4:37. The fourth
heat went to A. d. Kennedy, in 4:35 Is.
Zimmerman was invincible in the one
third mile scratch, and won his heat in
35 1-5 The second heat was won by IL.
G. Tylor, in AZ.
THE DAYS EVENT.
The seventh event-the five-mile ma
tional championship, was the race OF the
day, and OF the tournament. Such talent
as Zimmerman. j. II. johnson, +. II.
futile. l.. d. Munger, @. L. kinsley,
Ii. Il. Citizens, andG g. ID. Gary appeared
on the track. At the shot Munger took
the lead and set the pace for lap, when
Kinsley took bis place. They va
ried with Tuttle and Citizens,
and as the miles piled up it was seen
that wonderfully fast race was being
ridden. Faster and faster spun the
wheels. Kinsley shot into the lead. AS
the riders Flashed across the line it was
announced that the worlds record for
four miles in competition had been
broken. The time for the four miles was
1913 is, which gives Kinsley the
championship record by one second.
ZIMMERMAN BEATEN.
But the race was getting still more
earnest. johnson and Zimmerman
took the lead. AS the riders whirled
around the north turn IN the finish lap
Zimmerman bent to his work, with
Citizens less than length behind, fol
lowed closely by Johnson. Zimmerman
shot into the stretch with slight in
crease in his lead, and many
were shouting his name as the
winner. johnson, however had been
riding up into phenomenal
squirt, and as the last 200 yards
were entered upon, he caught thinner
man and dashed across the line winner
by five feet. There was claim made
| by Zimmerman's trainer that his wheel
had soft tire, but it was generally con.
ceded that the Minneapolis man had
fairly won the great race upon his OWE
merits and not through chance or luck.
Johnson's time was 12.41 against the
worlds record Of 1886.
