WAUkESHA ROAD RACE.
Won by Charles Muss of the Cream
City-M ertens Made the
Best Time.

Milwaukee. Wis, June 22.-The Mil
waukee- Waukesha road race was run
Saturday afternoon under conditions as
near perfection as could be obtained.
The weather was superb, warm and
pleasant There was no wind-that bane
of racing men-untiI the riders were near
" into the finish, when they met the
cool breezeS from the lake. The time
was slow, two minutes less than the
fastest time over the course. The Win
ner of the race was Charles Muss of the
South Side Cycling club, a strong-limbed,
stout-lunged young rider, who was in the
$50 class. He only wen by a wheel
over Green of the Badger Wheelmen,
who was a 80 man, and w. j. Sullivan
of the West Side Wheelmen, who, with
Johnny Weilup, was close behind the
others.
The beautiful day brought out a big
crowd of spectators, who lined the walks
at TWenty-eighth street and filled Grand
avenue until the riders could hardly get
through 1t was about eighteen minutes
to 5 o'clock when the anxious gaZers saw
q faint speck at the top of the hill to the
west, followed by several others. The
roar that went up a second later told
they were the riders. Down the hill they
came three in the lead and one a little
behind Suddenly the gap closed and
the hindermost rider became the leader,
taking a position he held until the tape
was passed, but to use a track phrase,
blanket would have covered all four
when they crossed the wire.
After this first bunch came in there
were scattering riders, and then came
two riders pumping away for dear life,
and A. c. Mertens and Arthur Weilup
flashed across the tape, followed by A.
St0lz. All three were scratch men. The
time of Mertens and Weilup was t;.e
fastest of the day, being 1880 and 47:31
respectively, but as both had been sus-
pended by Fred Gerlach and were riding
under protest, they are practically out
of the race. The time prize, therefore,
will go to Stolz, whose time was 47:35.
The second prize goes to II. E. Lucia,
who has 4S:03 to his credit. z. Weige
was third and e. Reinke and p. 3. Will
son fourth, both making the distance in
4S:30.
The case of Mertens and Weilup seems
likely to cause trouble for somebody.
They have put in an application for the
prizes, and unless their suspensions are
made good they will, it is claimed, have
a right to the prizes. There was a good
deal of sympathy for Mertens, who came
all the way from st. Paul, only to find
a notice of his suspension. If the sus-
pensions are made good then possibly
the Milwaukee Wheelmen may be called
upon to explain why the suspended riders
were n allowed TO enter the race at all

WISCONSIN'S VICTORY.
Badger University Freshmen Defeat
Yale Men on Lake Sal
tOnStalI

New Haven. Conn, June 1S-Western
oarsmen gave their Eastern rivals les
son on the water at Lake Saltonstall
this afternoon. The University of Wis
consin crew met the Yale freshmen in the
first race ever rowed between an Eastern
and Western college and defeated them
by over ten lengths Wisconsins time
was 12:O6 % and that of Yale, '96.
1910.
Wisconsin caught the water first and
led by length at the first quarter mile,
by two lengths at the half, by three at
the mile, by six at the mile and half.
and ten at the finish. Although the
strokes pulled were widely different it
was not contest of strokes. The Bad
gers rowed the Australian stroke known
as the ''yarrayarra,' and the Yale lads
were scheduled to pull the two-mie Bob
Cook strokes, but they pulled a hybrid
composition of their own, into which they
seemed to drop when defeat stared them
fatty in the face. They went to piece
and lost by rowing without system, fore
or form. 1t was the only opportuni7
to witness a Yale crew on this side
the Atlantic this year and over 1000 pc,
pie were on the banks when the shells
shot down the course.
The race was billed for O'clock, but
it was $50 before either crew left the
boathouse. Up the lake they padded,
followed by the referees launch, Oracle
X. They were in place at 5:45 o'clock,
and at $40 Referee Richards called out,
"Are you readyW There was no dis
sent, and his pistol rang out instantly.
The splashing was terrific. Both crews
caught the water fercely, and little by
little the Wisconsin Prov crept to the
fore.
After a hundred yards the Western
OarSmen settled into magnificent shape
Their boat went ahead on an even keel,
their stroke was full of force, and even
their steering was accurate. The strug-
gle for the first quarter mile was a mag
won. Yale was dragging three lengths
to the rear as the flag was passed. For
the next quarter of a mile Yale actually
gained a few yards on the WiScOnSinerS.
They paid the penalty, however, for they
nearly collapsed as a result of their eff
forts. The last half mile clinched their
defeat. Yale's boat was webbing and
the oarsmen hung their heads as the two
shells shot down the avenue of row.
boats and launches for the last hundred
yards. The little steamers sent up their
din of whistles, and a group of Il score
of Wisconsin graduates who had come
East with their eight went wild.

Yale thirtyfOur seconds behind. Yale
