IS ONCE MORE a VICTOR.
Monte Scott. of Providence, the Last Vic
tim of the "Buttermllk Boy."-Lght
Air Affected the Easterner.

Denver, Oct. 12.-The bicycle enthu-
siasts had an opportunity Saturday
to witness Il great race. 1t was he
tween Hachenberger. the undefeated
champion of this city. and Monte
Scott OF Providence, Rhode Island,
who had also never been defeated i'll
a twenty-five mile race. Scott had
challenged Hachenherger and came
ON TO settle the matter.
The race was the most exciting Of
the series in which IIaehenherger has
participated this year. He overlook
his opponent in the first lap Of the
seventh mile, hut the race was not
over then. Scott fought gamely to the
end and used every artitice known.
but could not get away from Hachen-
berger He gave the "buttermilk boy
the hardest fight lie has vet had, how
ever. and came near turning the tables
ON one occasion. Heretofore the races
have degenerated into 4 "runaround'
after Hachenberger caught his man,
but the crowd was kept in suspense
until the last lap had been ridden.
Scott showed himself to be Il game
rider and his performance was highly
creditable. considering the disadvan-
tageS under which he laborpd.
He had been advised to reach Den
yer just before the race SO that the al
titude would not affect him. The adj
vice proved ill-timed and Scott felt
the effects of the air before he had
ridden the first mile. He suffered eX-
ceedingly during the race and was
prevented from doing his best in the
contest, though he gave his opponent
a hard game throughout The Rhode
Island boy was the most popular Of
the riders that have SO far come up
against the Denver favorite and his
efforts yesterday afternoon were en-
couraged by hearty applause from the
crowd.
Scott was not satisfied with yester-
days contest. He rode the race from
test, as he considered the only genuine
twenty-five mile unpaced race to be Il
contest ridden on the same track in
opposite directions This would make
it Il race from start to finish. This was
the style of unpaced races ridden i'll
the east, to which Scott was accus-
toned. and it was only after remon-
STRANGE that he consented to ride AS
he did.
Some Of Scott's friends in the city
have issued Il challenge to Hachcnber-
ger for a twenty-five mile race to be
ridden on the same track in opposite
directions in order 10 test the ability
of both men i'll an actual twenty-five
mile unpaced race. SCOTS friends
are confident he can defeat Hachen-
berger If n race is arranged in which
the men will be made to ride twenty
five miles unpaced instead of only a
fraction of that distance
They have made a deposit with the
Republican for such race and will
agree to Il side bet of any amount.
Scott will concede the right Of way of
the track TO IIachenherger and ride
the opposite direction himself, so CON
fident is he that he can do creditable
twenty-five miles actually unpaced.
He thinks that If he can have the OPP.
portunity TO become acclimated by n
few weeks Of training on the Denver
track that he will be able to ride to
much better advantage and an effort
will be made to secure another match
with the "huttermilk boy
