 Sanger Lost Only One.
 Springfield, Mass, Sept. i2.-The sec- ond days races of tho Springfield bicy- ole tournament were very successful and the attendance was good. There was ome interesting racing, although the time was not quite so fast as had been hoped. If the weather is good there will doubtless be number of rec ords broken tomorrow.
 Sanger won all the big races he en- tered in except the handicap, in which he was third, and broke the unpaced record for mile. making it in 2:O5 l-5. Tyler was disappointment, not taking single first, and not even being placed in any of the competition events. The novice race was won handily by E. II. Smith. St. John took bad fall at the three-qunrters, but was not seriously injured.
 Several of the fast men did not SLOW up In the half-mile handicap B race, but Sanger, who had been announced as not appearing. finally took his plae" The handicap was too great, however, marring the interest, but the finish was close and exciting, Mcponu,d making q good spurt near the end.
 The mile scratch race was remark able one, being the fastest race ever ridden with pacemakers speciaIly brought in to take :he men around. The time limit was 2:S5. Sanger had the pole. but the outsiders spurted ahead at the beginning. The pace makers were Arnold and Githers,. Ty- Ter made mistake by taking the lead, for he could not hold 1t, and Sanger and Johnson shot by outside and he finished fifth. Sanger won rather handily.
 In the mile 2:4O class A. time limit 2:50, Fuller sprinted at the three-quar- ters and won in a tight finish. In the 2:10 class B, with 2:30 limit, Bliss made a hot spurt at the finish, passing Titus easily and winning by wheel.
 In the half-mile, 1:15 class A, the real race began on the home stretch. when c. w. Williams sprang out of the ruck him closely. This was the most exclt- ing of the A events.
 In the two mile, five minute class B, the time limit was set at 5:25, and Arnold and Githens rode as pacemak- ers The finish was fast and close. Ray Mcdonald sprang out from the rear and quickly came to the front, holding his place and finishing in 4:50k.
 All started in the class A mile han dicap, but Parsons. The scratch caught the bunch on the first round, but the handicapped men kept up a fast pace and none of the scratch riders got a place. ,Wettergreen asids a beautiful spurt at the head of the stretch, and won without difficulty. :.
 The mile handicap, class B, which was the last race on the program was both fast and interesting, because of the novel development by which A. l. Brown, sixty yards man, by skilful manoeuvering, took the event from the scratch men, who had evidently made an arrangement to pace each other. Johnson took the lead when the pro- cession started on the back stretch, and the leaders mixed up with the bunch just beyond the half. Cabanne took bad fall near the grand stand. Just at the turn Brown spurted from the rear and took the leaders una wares, getting lead which he held to the finish, though Bliss. who spurts quickly, nearly caught him at the f1n- ish. c. c. Smith made an unsuccessful attempt at the flying quarter-mile record, and W. F. Murphy also failed in trying to break the hour record held by Meintjes.
