Out of the Race.

Two Men Ahead Of Him in Danger

SCORE AT MADISON SQUARE

NEW YORK, December 10.-When, early
this morning, enthusiasts over the six
days bicycle race reached Madison Square
Garden today they found only sixteen of
the thirty-siX men who Started on the rec
ord breaking task Monday last. The
second serious accident of the contest had
removed Moore from the track. The wheel
Of the plucky Philadelphian, while he was
in fifth place, at am, slipped on turn
and he fell over the handlebars. His tire
became loosened and wedged in the fork.
He struck his head violently against one
of the uprghts of the rail and lay un-
conscious beside the passing riders.
If he had not been so dazed Moore would
probably have been able to save himself
from falling. At first it was thought that
Moore dead An ambulance surgeon
put the fears of the spectators at rest and
it was found that his injuries consisted of
a bad cut on the head and a strain to the
cord on the right size of the neck He was
put to bed and was not expected to take
any further part in the race. He had rid
den ,4s3 miles when he fell.
Moore's PIucky Return.
AT 11:15 am Moore, however, with his
eye and face half hidden by court plaster,
went on the track and pluckily tried to
continue the journey. Slowly and painfully
he wobbled around the track a couple of
times and then dismounted. He is appar-
emily in a state of semi-consciousness.
Although Miller had a lead OF 6S miles at
9:1J am, 1t was anybodys race. Both
Miller and Rice, the Wilkesbarre boy, who
has followed so closely on his heels, show
ed painful evidences of the frightful pace
they had maintained since Monday Mil
ler's trainers feared for some time today
that their mans mind was giving way
The sleep which would put him right is an
impossibility, for the pursuing Rice would
then cut down his lead. Rice, too, har-
rassed by the fear of Rivierre and urged
by the hopes of overhauiing Miller, dare
not sleep. on this account the trainers of
the two leaders in the race announce that
their charges will take no more sleep until
the end OF the race.
Rfvierre's Chances Good.
or the first three men, Rivierre looked
by far the best conditioned, and d wager of
500 to s95 that lie will beat Rice found no
takers.
Teddy Hale is among the men, who ex-
pcrts say, is certain to last to the end He
had smashed his own record of last year
when he completed his Tooth hour today
Schinners eyes are in bad shape, and I'M
less they get better his trainers say that he
Will have to quit.
Pierce, who is suffering from his wrench
ed arm, followed closely on Hale's heels
Cannon Beacon and Enterman plodded
away Samely and looked in excellent con-
oition. Ihey will probably finish in about
lne same positions they have now. KIM
claims to be very strong, and he expects
to go up several pegs. Gray and johnson
are down at the end and they will proba-
bly, remain there.
The colored man is a source of annovancn
TO the other riders, as he is continually in
their way because OF his slow riding Why
ne Is Kept In Is mystery as he apparently
mas no chance OF making the required l. $50
miles IN order to get some of the stakes
Miller, VINO left the track at $50 IL M re-
turned at $3.50.
Miller was off the track from 1880 until

RICE is beginning to show the effects of
the terrible strain, and his handlers are
haVins hard time to keep him on the
track. 1t is said that his trainers have
neen giving him stimulants all day. Last
yea ear rice became crazy before the end of
the race, and 1t is feared that his mind Is
gong again. His halIucination last wear
him. oN" az
