this race. Hal Willard and Heuman
were in the lead when the latter ran
across the former when the race was
nearly completed, and both were
stretched on the track. Mr.. Willard
was considerably shaken up, and Heu
mans wheel was badly twisted. Ii
was generally believed that Heuman
caused both this and the previous &C.
cident for a purpose, and much indig'
nation was expressed. 1t was unfor
tunate that Mr.. Willard met with
this accident as he was a sure winner
in the race. According to the l.. A
w. rules, Mr.. Willard taking the in
side of the track assumed all risk, as
riders are compelled to pass to the
outside except where there is sutfi
cient room inside the pole. There
seems to have been no ground
