CABRERA WON AGAIN.
Nine promising young runners faced
starter CrOssiey in the 44o yards run, and
all seemed In fit condition, and to the first
turn, the bunch Kept Well together, with
Cabrera Slightly In the lead.
Coming into the stretch the field spread
out aud the leaders worked hard for
places. Down the last fifty yards it was
d bruisinS race, and still aDyone's tape.
SdpTtTd again showed tne eIteCts Oh nlS
good training and condition, and finished
several feet ahead, IN 54 , seconds: w. q.
Stewart, Central High second, and Philip
Tindail, third. after The tlShtest kind OF
finish for the second place.
Three prizes Went on this race Diamond
pin TO iirst, gold locket to second, and
silver buttons TO third: The second prize
was given by Reman Purcell.
SIMS WAS RULED OUT.
The next event was the two-mile handi-
cap bicycle race.
As scratch man Fred Sims had handicaps
as high as 275 yards to overcome, to many
they seemed ridiculous odds against him,
but lie showed his skill by moving his field
down one by one and finishing with
lengths TO spare.
the riders were strIng out all over the
track and remained SO for the first lap OF the
one.third mile track, but on the second time
closed up on the bunch, and the field
gradually came closer to Fred, and in the
fourth lap he was in the bunch with George
BAH in the lead past the Judges stand.
one that Fred and billie were riding close
together, and for this the referee decided
that Billie was pacing his brother, and no
man man present could prove that this was % the
and that was Fred, and the other was drop
ping behind and dropped so far behind that
he finished well back in the field, while
men whom he had easily defeate d in former
races beat him out. Fred Sims won handily
in 4:46, Mdd second; W o. woodward, E.
A: G.. third, and George Ball, W. R. C..
fourth.
After the race Fred Sims was dis
qualified by the referee for being paced
and his alleged pacemaker, Billie. was
under the rule likewise disqualified.
Fred Sims says he can prove that there
was no previous arrangement for pacing
and will at once protest the race to
President Gideon and the racing board.
Billie Sims showed a puncture in his
tire and finished the last half OF the
race on his rim.
The referee acted, as in his Judgment
he deemed just and fair, but his decision
was by no means a popular one.
The decision moved all the leaders up |
a peg and made Mudd first man, Wood |
ward second, and George Ball third.
Fred Sims rode so hard in this race |
that. he nearly tainted at the finish and |
was so weak from the heat that he |
wouldn't attempt to break the track /
record as 1t was announced before the |
race that he had expressed a Willingness
to do.
