The New Workers. Downfall Yesterday
Was the Result ona Plot Laid BY His
Chicago Competitors.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-For the first time
during the L. A. w. meet, Zimmerman
was beaten from the scratch yesterday.
John S. Johnson, the Minneapolis
wonder. assisted by Tuttle and ,KHisely,
accomplished his defeat in the fve-mile
national championship, by crossing the
tape an open length ahead of the great
Jersey man. Two Chicago riders set a
fast pace for Zimmerman for four miles,
and bunch of wheels kept him sprint
ing until his upper turn was reached the
last time. Then Zimmerman pulled
away for his final squirt, with johnson
after him. The great distance and the
manner In which the pacemakers
forced him out, marred his final effort,
and johnson passed him with ease. The
last quarter was run in % 2-5 seconds.
This was far the best race Of the meet
ing and was hot contest from start to
finish. 1t looked like plan Of any.
thing to beat Zimmerman. Knisely
frst set the pace. and firing, Citizens
took his place. Then luttle went to the
front, and all but Johnson having taker
part in the killing off Of the champion
johnson, fresh from the rear, advanced
and won.
Previous to this Zimmerman had woI
three races-the quarter-mile nationa
championship, in 81 8; the one-mile
ordinary, national championship, in 8 10
aud the third-mile, scratch. in Al 2-5
He did not start in the handicaps. Th'
Eve mile race saved the day from being
dull, the only other brilliant feature be
ing the work Of A. T. Crooks, of Buffalo
in the one and two mile handicaps, bot
| of which he won.

nous proportions in the creek above
Rockland and all the rubbish, vegetables
and other matter that are thrown into

AZ Wilson and missed him. The latter
then struck him and showed him into
Water street. And that was the end Of
