SAN FRANCISCO. y9.-The bicy-
Gle races at the Velodrome today were
we'll attended, but the sport was rather
tame, and with the exception OF the
two thirds of mile professional, failed
to arouse enthusiasm on the part OF the
spectators. The final of this event re-
suited in a hot contest. Ziegler was the
first to catch the pacemaker, closely fol-
lowed by Jones and Davis. The two lat
ter by Slever maneuvering managed to
dislodgS the little demon" from his po-
sition on the fifth lap, and before he
could straighten himself out for the
final sprint, Jones and his team-mate,
Davis, were dozen yards ahead OF him.
Jones won by two lengths, Davis second
and Ziegler third.
The two mile post race, professional,
proved a farce. Ziegler easily secured
the first four points, but Jones and Da-
Wis reeorted to the team work, and as
a result Davis secured a lead of fully
half a lap. 1t was impossible to catch
him at this stage. and he secured the

A sPRINTER DISABLED
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 9.-As
result Of an injury sustained in the ath-
letic games yesterday, Jimmy Roche,
Harvard's little sprinter, will be unable
to compete this year. 1t was in the Sec
ond trial heat of the 100 yard dash that
the accident occurred. 1t was 10-sec-
ond heat, and Roche was close on the
heels of Hoffman of the University of
Pennsylvania, when he broke tendon
in hiS leg. He had done the 100 yards
in 10 seconds several times last week,
and his loss will be a serious one to the
crmsons at the Yale games next Sat
urday and at the intercollegiate games,
when he was counted on to do better
than 10 seconds.
