The bicycle race between Youell, Sibr
sky and Seighman came off on Saturday
and was won hands down by Youell.
Az this is the third time he has won in
succession even the most ardent admir-
ers OF the other riders must admit that
he il the best rider in the county and
there are numbers in the county who
think that he can defeat some OF the
speedest OF Houghton county's riders.
The start was made from TrudelIsin fine
shape and speed run was made by the
three riders until within mile OF Central
when Sibilsky punctured his tire which
caused him TO fall behind and the turn
was made at Central with Youell in the
lead with Seighman about 800 feet be-
hind and SibiIsky 400 feet behind him.
After this Sibilsky's tire collapsed and he
dropped out OF the contest this left the
race between Youell and Seghman and
was fine exhibition of riding, Youell
finishing in the remarkable time OF 80
minutes and 40 seconds with Seighman
about half mile behind. The distance
is IL x miles and when il il considered
that the road is rough and billy this
time is really phenomenal and demon
onstrates that both riders are speedy.
but youell is exceptionally 80.
