THEY WERE ALL WRECKS.
Riders In the Big Slx-Day Bicycle Race
Barely Able to Go on.


New YORK, Dec. i3-The great six
day bicycle race that has drawn $4,000
people to Madison Square garden came
to close at 1915 Saturday night and
Charles Miller, of Chicago, who has
proved to be physical marvel, was
the winner with total of 1908 miles
and four laps to his credit. One by
one Miller wore his opponents out and
the original field Of 36 starters stead
lily narrowed down to is. That num-
ber was on the track, but they were
wrecks. Miller himself was completely
worn out, and after taking bath and
rub in the afternoon he was unable
to lift his leg high enough to throw it
over the wheel and his trainers were
forced to lift him into the saddle. Be
sides being physically broken down,
the greater number of the riders who
finished were mental wrecks. The
first prize was $1,000 and an additional
purse of 81, 500 for breaking the previ.
GUS record, which was 1900 miles II
is charged that the track was short
and that correct measurement will
reduce Millers distance to s,Ol4 miles
