came stormier even than the warning
elements overhead. Nearly all Of the
big men of the game started, for the
trial heats were omitted and the entry
left to the election of the riders. Tom
Butler and Zeigler stayed out, but
Cooper, Gardiner, Bald, Coburn and
others made a representative string. A
triplet manned by Schrein and the two
Johnsons was in to pace.
When the men broke for the big ma
chine Callahan waited and hooked in,
although the machine got away so
slowly that half the field punched in
front of it before there was any SEM
blance of the usual formation in a
paced event. Gardiner went to the
front with Bald, Cooper and Jack Co
burn and then dropped back, catching
the machine safely. This was but a
signal for one after another Of the con-
testants to go up, some catching sue
cessfully. and some failing to make
good their game. Whilst this was 60
ing on Cooper and Bald came together,
Cooper elbowing his great antagonist
while the Buffalonian adopted similar
tactics and reached out viciously for
his successful rival.
Trouble kept up throughout the bal
ance of the ride and the grand stand
manifested it's displeasure by kissing
every time the bunch came round.
The consequence of the final sprint was
that Cooper won out, with Becker a
length back and Callahan in third
place. Acker, of Philadelphia, and Nat
Butler were unplaced, finishing as
named, but when all the protesting and
wrangling was over Cooper and Gala
han had been disqualified and the

he scored his first and only victory of
the meeting and seen his enthusiastic
friends shoulder and carry him bodily
from the track. The Milwaukee man
had played in hard lines, but he re-
trieved himself, riding the event in his
old time form and winning in a driving
sprint that carried him around the

circles about them. Sanger had scratch.

just ahead of him and these four sue
ceeded in getting together early in the
game. Callahan paced for the first
half mile and then Sanger came up..
The result was that he caught the big
bunch ahead. The field at once slowed
down and the men Ioafed along for

front, then E. G.. johnson and then
Callahan. Sanger got down to his
work just as the bell tapped, swing

increasing stride that brought him at
