Mile-Spirited Tandem Race.

Old Boreas was in great form yesterday
afternoon and finished strong first in
nearly every one Of the dozen events run
off at the record race meet held at Inter
national Athletic Park.
The wind blew so hard and cold that
there was no comfort for either the.riders
or those who looked on, anu under THESE
conditions the fair-siZed audience, halI III
which were ladies, found it difficult TO
work itself up to the enthusiastic pitcii-
Notwithstanding all this, the sport was
of q good character, ana tie time h'a'e
in several OF the events astonlsiiheiE eood-
The wind blew straight down 'he tIdeh
from the west and the riders lost on .iie
back stretch what they gained on ehe
fiat. and only i'll a measure evened up on
the home stretch with the wind at their
backs.
The field of entrants was good one
and included all the local cracks except
Billie Sims, who found il impracticabie
to enter and race.
The meet contained as many dlsappoihl-
| nents as surprises, ana the last local iaCe
meet of the season VIII furnish much 10
talk about in club house and cycle centers-
1t was made the occasion for earning
records for the track, and II Is unfortunate
| that the wind interfered with the riders
| i'll their efforts to get the better OF Time
| There were four record and 1--WE open
| events, IL sp. cial and tandem match race
| Tie track was i'll splendid condition except
| in two small spots, and Friday nights
| rain did it no harm whatever.
| BALL MADE A RECORD.
| George Ball secured a record in the
| quarter mile unpaced, flying start, and
was within two-fifth of n second OF
| landing the onethird mile record and
| was Il Tie with Wrenn at 5:14 g. 8 minutes
| in the two-mile unpaced standing start,
! and the latter event was decided by the
| mdses-to be no record on account Of the
\ tie The time was very good considering
| the strong wind blowing against the rihers
| more than half the time.
| Fred Schade, the lccal crack, seemed
to be in poor condition, and his best ef-
| forts counted for but little. Men whom he
| has frequently beaten lengths. he couid
| do no more than lead by feet.
| In the second heat Of the mile open
| Schadc was going easy nearing the upper
| turn and making ready fer His Famous
| Jump WHEN lie found himself unable TO
get out of the pocket and had to he salts
fled with second place i'll his heat. In the
finals OF the mile open Mudd took the lead
at the upper turn Of the last lap from a
crowded bunch and held the lead past
the stand over the tape, winning in 3,l4
minutes, Throop second, Schade third, and
Ball fourth. Schadc claimed that Mudu
cut him out twice, and his claim having
been allow ed, the referee disqualified Mudd
and the first place went to ThrOop and
second and third places 10 SChade and
