SANGER THE HERO.
Hs Lowered the One Mile Record at the
Springfield Bicycle Tournament.


SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 13.-The
first day Of the Springfield Bicycle clubs
great diamond tournament passed off with
nothing to mar it's enjoyment. Thou
sands Of bicycle enthusiasts were in at
tendance. The weather was perfect, the
track above par, the racing fast, tho crowd
large, and there were several records bro
ken. All Of the cracks were present, and
they went into the races to win as is
shown by the fast time which was made
In every race.
Ray Mcdonald Of Class A distinguished
himself by winning the half mile and two
mile handicap events, while Sanger was
the hero of tho day, for not only did he
win the mile international unpaced invi-
tation race, but no also lowered tho
worlds record of 2:07 25 held by Tyler
to 2:Of 1-5. This race was something new
IN bicycling, for the riders, instead of
starting together vera started about one
half minute apart.
In the ono mile handicap, Glass A, w
(. Sims Washington, tha scratch man,
lowered the worlds record 20 2:10 %
One Of the most exciting finishes Of the
day was in the one mile scratch, Glass b.
whom Sanger, after q tremendous squirt,
beat out johnson and Cabanne. Another
equally exciting finish was IA the last
race on tho programme, a one milo handi-
cap. In this raco AL l. Brown Of Cleve-
land, go yard man, surprised every one
by making q long spurt and winning the
race Bliss and Sanger had hard tight
for second, in which the former was vic
torious.
SYRACUSE, Sept. 1s.-Abous 10, 900 peo-
pie witnessed the State fair bicycle races
held in this city All Of the races were
Class A events Considerable interest was
aroused inNthe relative events Of Frank J.
Jenney Of Utica, tho nominal Glass A
champion, and G. Fred Royce of Passaic,
n. j., who holds several Glass A cham
pionships. Tho men met for the first
'timo in two races and divided honors
equally. The surprise of tho day was the
defeat OF both Glass A cracks by Fisher,
tho local champion, and Smith of Oswego.
