Zlegler. on Fast performances, should have
won the great twenty five mile race there of
course there was considerable questioning as
10 how Edwards beat him. Zieger's story
was that short distance from the tape Two
BDokes IN MS rear wheel broke and wound
around bis chain, almost stopping his "remark-
able spuTt Now this Is odd, for advices from
Los Angeles state that ZIegler did not discover
he had a spoke broken unGil two DAYS after the
race, while Edwards finished with four brok en-
spokes. IN neither case did the breaking affect
the running OF the Wheels or have ANYTHING 10
do with the result. The fact should not be lost
sight of that Edwards is very fast rider and
it is not so much TO be wondered at that he de-
feated ZlegieT. AT any rate, broken spok es
had little or nothing 10 do with il.
