Late yesterday afternoon Lawson while
riding behind Shock, was thrown from his
wheel by one of Shocks feed cans Shock
endeavored to hand it to his helper, and
the can fell on the track, striking the
Swede's wheel and throwing him heavily.
He lost over hour by the accident, in
getting rubbed down and fixed up. His
trainers claim that the act was intentional.
and filed protest with the referee, which
will be acted upon in case Shock finishes
ahead of Lawson.
The riding of Shock and Albert SO far has
been phenomenal. Shock left the track for
the first time a few minutes before mid
night, after having remained on the track
nearly twenty-four hours continuously,
losing eleven minutes. AT 1918 he went off
for seventeen minutes, and at 2:4I he was
off for twenty-eight minutes. Shortly after
I O'Clock this morning he lost four more
minutes.
Frank Albert is also riding in good form,
and in fact he appears TO be in the best
condition of any man on the track. He
rides easily and keeps up the pace with no
apparent eXertion.
Lawson appeared to be suffering from
the effects of his fall, and lost ground
steadily. Golden coming up. Rivierre ap-
peared this morning to be riding in much
better form. Cassidy and Ford each en-
joyed a good rest last night lasting several
hours.
The race appears to lie between Shock
and Albert.
Ahead of Hnle's Record.
Shock reached his 50Oth mile at 7:02 this
morning At 9:46 he equaled Teddy Haie's
record of 546 miles for thirty-four hours,
and by the time the hour rounded off he
covered 54S miles and ) laps, two and a
half miles above Hale's record.
Lawson covered his jHOth mile at 10:44 30
this morning or thirty-four hours, seven
teen and a half minutes from the start.
Shock equaled Hae's thirty-five-hour
record a 1854, having covered 563 miles.
By II o'clock he had covered 800 miles and
3 laps, breaking the Englishman's record.
The riders at IL o'clock appeared to be
suffering from the effects of the ride, but
only IN a slight way. Nearly all of the
men We're getting saddle sore, and showed
il. The old riders did not appear to mind
it so much, but the new men felt it bad
ly Towels and cloths were wrapped
around the saddle to ease the seat. but
they did not entirely alleviate the pain.
Shock at the end of the thrty-sixth
hour had smashed another of the lanky
foreigners American-made record. Hale
