Frank Waller, the Chicago lonR.distance rider,
finished first In the 100.milc track race held at
Manhattan Beach yesterday under the auspices
of the Harlem Wheolmen, but was disqualified.
Their wero fifteen entries for tho race, including
some wcll-known distance riders. Tho race,
which was started ut noon, did not ond until
late In the afternoon. walters disqualification
was due TO his accepting pace from w. II. Beck
er OF Boston to within about forty yards
OF the tape. Becker started In the race. but
dropped out before fifty miles were covered. He
went on the track to do some pacing on the last
mile, and contrary to tho racing regulations Of
the L. A. w. paced Waller almost to
tho tape. This deprived Waller OF victory,
setting him back to third position. Tho
action Of Referee Pitman in displacing
Waller excited some adverse criticism. Claims
were made that Waller simply followed tho pace
cut by Becker, without any arranged plan, and
that the latter is really responsible. Walters
disqualification left +. Barnaby. u Boston rider,
in first position. and J. w. Conklin Of Arlington,
N. j., second. Only three riders finished.
Up to tho thirtieth mile the race was inter
csting. but at thirty-ono miles three riders.
J. f. Starbuck. Harry Maddox, and B. W..
Pierce, fell and retired. With these out of the
contest 1t developed into a procession. At the
end of each mile the riders would manifest
some life and sprint for positions. but outside Of
these efforts the race was devoid OF interest.
Riders dropped out mile after milo, so that
when sevonty-fivc miles were covered there
were only five competitors.
Waller felt his loss OF the first place koenly.
