EIGHT PLUCKY RIDERS
Start in the Washington Six-Day
Event.


WASHINGTON, March ga six
days go-as-you-please bicycle race was
begun here at 1901 o'clock this morn
ing. At that hour eight devotees Of
the wheel responded to the signal and
started on their long ride of six days
and six nights The starters, most of
whom are we'll known to the racing
public, are Albert Shock, George Null
Ter, Peter Golden and Frank Alberts,
of New York; s. L. Cassidy and E.
Ford. of New Jersey; G. E Rivierre,
of France, and John Lawson. '1The
Terrible Swede," of Sweden. Excep-
tional advantages in the way of good
track are offered the riders, and
the confident expectation is that some
records Will be broken There viii be
an effort to beat the record recently
made at Chicago of 1,78S miles and some
of the enthusiaStists hope to see one or
more of the riders approach Teddy
Hale's record of 1910 miles for 142
hours, The men are in excellent con-
ditiOn and made fine showing as they
commenced their work this morning.
AlbertS took the lead when the pistol
was fired, but Shock crossed the tape
line in the lead at the end of the first
mile. AT 1920 a. M, most of the rid
ers had made six miles, or slightly
over. The track is considered one of
the finest ever constructed, and is ten
laps to the mile. Liberal prizes are
offered, being in the aggregate 80 per
cent of the gross receipts, the winner
receiving 40 per cent of this and the
second man 20 per cent. The affair is
under the control of David Towers, the
manager of Convention hall.
The score at l a. m. was: Schock, %
miles; Lawson, q miles laps; Alberts
