WALLER is AHEAD
MADDOX IN SECOND PLACE, TWO
LAPS BEHIND.
Two Hundred and Ninety. One Miles and
Two Laps, Shows the Progress of che
German At the End of the Second Days
Pedaling at Convention Hall, Washing
ton City-Of the Original Eleven Only
Eight Remain in the Race-"The Terri
BILE Swede" In Best Condition-Thc Score
for Two Days.

Washington, Dec. Cavalier, the
German, held the advantage by two laps
over Maddox, the American, at the close
tonight of the second days racing in the
international six-days, eight hours a
day, contest at Convention hail. The
two men have kept almost neck-and-
neck during the long ride, until today,
when Maddox punctured his tire and lost
two laps. He made a desperate effort
TO make up the loss sustained, but was
unable to do so.
The day was marked by examples of
the survival of the fittest, the two weak
est men dropping by the wayside after
pedaling as long as they could stand the
terrific pace set by the leaders. These
two were Shock and Albert, who threw
up the sponge and left the track to the
remaining eight riders, who, with the ex-
ception of Ball. are punched within five
miles of each other
Shock succumbed early in the after
noon, sore and stiff. He was one of the
men who went down in the tumble yes
terday. and he then sustained an in
jury to his legs, which made riding diff
fcult. When he withdrew. he had 142
miles to his credit. At O'Clock Albert
was ten miles in the rear of the other
riders, and as there appeared TO be no
hope of making up the deficit, he with
drew, having ridden 179 miles.
All the men. with the exception OF Ball,
the local cyclist. appeared at the close of
the riding tonight to be in excellent col
dition. except that they show some sign
of fatigue. They departed for their quar-
tiers, seemingly without any inconven-
fence. Toward the close Maddox, Chap
pie and Lawson engaged in fine squirt
that was heartily applauded by the spec
tators. Lawson, the terrible Swede, -
appeared TO be in better condition than
any of the men. except possibly Hunter.
the Frenchman. Lawson is riding his
usual heavy pace, which he SEEM; able
to maintain without great exert;on.
George Ball, the local favorite and con-
testant, is riding smoothly, but, besides
suffering from cold, it is evident that
he IS in rather fast company. Hunter
had fall today but was not hurt, ard
continued the ride.
General satisfaction is expressel ct the
results of the contest up TO this time, and
the figures show that five of the men
have averaged IS miles or more for each
hour.
The score at the close tonight was.
Waller 29l miles. 2 laps; Maddox 2el !;
Ashinger 290.5; Lawson 2Ss.s; Hunter
2Ss; Chapel 2s6.2; Foster 2S6.1; Ball
2695
In the exhibition riding. Eddie Bald re-
duced the quarter-mle record from 33 to
% Is seconds, and Tom Linton reduced
his three-mile indoor record from Z min
utes, IL seconds, TO minutes, s seconds.

almost complete darkness OF the streets
