Tandem Record.
The initial Saturday matinee at
Becks Hot Springs bicycle track was
witnessed by rather a small crowd
yesterday afternoon, but the sport was
good. The train service was unsatls-
factory, and those who waited Tor the
races to finish had to wait for the no
train down.
OF course, the contests were not SO
exciting as those in q. big meet. Inc
time was slow in the class A races,
and both of these events had to be
ridden over three times before the
time limit was reached. The class b
events were satisfactory. Weller cap
tured the mile and Thatcher the half
mile.
Liday and Qualtrough. the crack
class B tandem team, established
new Utah record for a half mile, I'M
paced, flying start, making it in 80 fiat.
Schefski established a record for
| half mile paced, flying start, for class
B, negotiating it in SO 2-5 seconds.
The first event was the half mile,
open, class A, the starters being H. j.
Jensen, Hyde, Holzel, Beck and May.
Jensen came in first, Hyde second and
Holzel third. Time-1:24. AS limit of
1:12 had been placed upon it, the ref
cree ordered it run over. After another
futile attempt to get under the limit,
May finally won, Hyde second and
Holzel third. Time-1:11.
A time limit of ZIP was also put on
the half mile open, class B. On the
start, Thatcher took the lead and won
easily, Weller second and Hassard
third. Time-1:12. Liday and Schefski
made a beautiful finish for fourth
place, Schefski getting there.
The same bunch of class A men
who contested in the first event came
out for a mile, but on the first at
tempt could not do better than 2:4S. On
the third trial Hyde won, with May
second and Holzel third. Time-2:2715.
| Weller then came out and establish
ed a class B record, standing start,
ppaced by Thatcher, his time being
2S%.
CHICAGO. Aug. 1O.-E. C. Bald again
! had his own way in the most important
class B race of the day, winning the final
of the third mile open and the 500 dia-
his heat in the record time OF II 20. He
was, however. compelled to keep his
| flyers were after him close. Tom Cooper
came after him and made him hustle to
keep his lead clear, although there was
no doubt about the result after Bald had
once shown in front in the home stretch.
Cabanne seemed sure of second but
Cooper was too fleet for him in the last
/ hundred yards. while Doc Brown
slipped and made Charley Murphy take
fifth place
Brown won good race in the mile
handicap for class b.. from the so yard
mark.
Monte Scott appeared to have had the
race won but he weakened in the last
quarter after sprinting too soon.
Two Two bad accidents occurred during the
afternoon. Besides that in which John
Lawson. the terrible Swede" fell in the
18th. mile of his attempt on the hour
record, and broke his collar bone.
Harry f. Palmer, an employee of the
post office, was thrown in the mile han
dicap and suffered conclusion of the
