A large crowd assembled at the ball
park last evening, in spite of the in
clement weather, to witness the start
of the match race between Miss May
Allen and Mr.. w. N, Matthews. At
exactly S:06 the two riders faced the
starter dressed in their natty cos
tunes, Miss Allen being attired in a
handsome light blue riding costume,
the color of her Peerless racer, to the
easy running qualities of which she
attributes the winning Of her many
laurels.
Mr.. Matthews was dressed in an
orange colored suit. He rides rs
gear wheel. Miss Alien rides only a
10, which compels her to pedal much
faster to follow the fast pace Mr..
Matthews is capable of setting.
AS soon as the pistol was fired they
started with Matthews in the lead. The
crowd was very much excited and
yelled themselves hoarse as their IA
vorite rider sprinted to take the pace
First it was Matthews and then AL
len, and naturally the crowd was with
Miss Allen, owing to her showing the
pluck to challenge and ride against
such clever rider as Mr.. Matthews
is known to be throughout the coun-
try. His many prizes are evidences
of the fast riding he has done
1t may also be said that Mr..
Matthews has shown remarkable nerve
in accepting Miss Aliens challenge 10

a very difficult matter for an mex
perienced rider to hold the sharp turns
on track of this size. Both riders
appeared to be testing the others
sprinting abilities by changing pace
with quick squirt, evidently to see if
there were any weak points that might
be taken advantage of, and several
times Matthews took Miss Allen
around the saucer track at a 2:10 clip.
The little girl was not to be shaken.
however, and so they continued for
the entire twenty-five miles At the
finish Matthews led until the last eight
laps, when the Peerless was seen to
pull up on the bank and go like a
streak OF lightning. Matthews was
ready for the emergency and was down
over his handlebarS in an instant.
They rode like fiends for five laps,
when the pistol was fired indicating
that they had but three more laps to
ride. Everybody stood on their seats
and hats flew into the air, while the
ladies waved their handkerchiefs and
screamed when the little rider in blue
passed her opponent on the second lap
from home and won by wheel length.
The following is summary of the
evenings riding:
First mile in 2:27 is, Matthews lead
ing.
Five miles in IL: 80, Allen leading.
Ten miles in 28:O6 3-5, Allen lead
ing.
Fifteen miles in AZ: 16 is, Allen lead
ing.
Twenty miles in 1928, Matthews
leading.
The twenty-five miles were covered
in one hour 8 2-5 seconds.
