At Waltham
WALTHAM, Mass. May S0.-The bicy-
Gle meet at the Velodrome this afternoon
brought together 5000 people. The chief
event was the international match one
mile race between Cooper, Bald and Jap
Eden. The latter failed to show up on ac-
count Of poor condition. This left the two
old rivals to fight 1t out, and Bald won after
three exemplary heats, all being practically
settled at the tape.
In the ten mile pursuit race between
Kaiser and Sourotte the latter caught the
former at four and three-fourths miles, in
spite of the fact that Bourotte was slow in
getting away, giving Kaser a chance to
gain fifty yards. Bourotte's excellent rid
ing is shown from the fact that his time
was ahead of previous records in pursuit
races for the same distance. Summaries:
One mile, international race-Bald won,
Cooper second; time, 1923 AS.

Switzerland and Bourotte of Paris-Won by
