was called the four to line up were Bald,
Mcdonald, Murphy and Little Zegler the
latter all bandaged after his fall Of Thurs
day, and presenting a sorry spectacle. In
the finish Bald set the pace, Mcdonald
alongside, and just at the tape the latter
made phenomenal jump and landed
ahead Of Bald over the tape. The audi
ence cheered Mcdonald, but the judges
gave the decision to Bald The time was
slow, 1.22 2-5, owing to the fact that the
men were called almost Immediately after
the qualifications were made, and they
were very tired.
The entries in the two. third mile open
Glass B event were Bald Gardiner, Muir
ply, Porter, Coulter and Jenny. Bald
came in an easy winner, Murphy length
behind, and Porter hanging on. Gardiner
got fourth, and Coulter and Jenny fin
ished in dead heat, a yard in the rear.
Time, 1.4l.
Fifteen men qualified for the final of the
two mile Glass B handicap, but these In
cluded none Of the cracks except Coulter
and L. G. johnson. Church won by
yard, while cottlapped Davidson's wheel
for third. Time, 4.25 2.5.
In sthe professional mile event, bandi-
cap, Conn Baker and Silvie made their
first appearance as professionals, and as
they entered late in the game had to go
back to scratch. Stewart, who started
from the 100 yard mark, won by length,
Cutter and Eaton, fifty yard men, came
In second and third. Time, 2122 rs.
The best racing time of the day was
made in one of the Glass A events the ono
mile open, when little Tom Butler COW
cred the distance In 2.0s. Winters was
second and Mosher third.
Two tots, known as the Brothers Ben
nd al lad nl. ,I,fa
rode n one third mile race, the younger,
who got onet third start, won by about
fifty yards.
The Berlo quad team, in a mile race
against time, did the distance in l. 50 3-5,
while the Syracuse team took Lbs to cover
the ground.
NJ. Il. Dirnberger, of Buffalo, who was
paced by the Syracuse quad team, COW
cred tho mile in the excellent time of
e.0l. The track record was broken three
times yesterday. Bald succeeded in doingit
in 2.07 l-5, Dirnberger lowered 1t to 2.01, but
1t remained for Arthur Zimmerman to
further lower it, Whom he had trayersed
the first third of the mile the watches reg
istered 80 1-5 seconds. The two,third
mark was reached In lis and he crossed
the tape which marked the mile in theex-
cellent time OF / 81 As. This is considered
to be most remarkable performance, as
it is only four-1fths of second slower
than the fastest mile the champion ever
did, and that was accomplished on the
Valedrome Seine, Paris. The experts say
that the track here is several seconds
slower, and are loud in their praise Of
Zimmerman's feat.
The meetings of the committees ap-
pointed by the l.. A. w. and the cycle
board OF trade ended last night Mr. Jo-
seph Mckee, of the cycle board, in an in
teryiew today, said: 'The board of trede
has Endorsed and ratified the rules of the
l.. A. w, and will not interfere with the
rules as laid down. They also have in
dorsed professionalism under the jurisdic-
ton of the L. A, w, and Will encourage
professional racing. In my opinion Glass
b will be abolished and professionalism
will take its place There will be but two
classes-amateurs, as in Glass A, and pro-
fessionals.n
