" lighted last night and an audience
Of a thousand or more turned out to
see the races. The band played a
rousing march and then came the
Terrill-Jones two-thirds mile match
race. AS the riders appeared on the
scratch, there was applause from the
grandstand.
In the first heat of the match race,
TerriH started out in the lead with
Jones following very closely. The
first lap was very slow but as the
tape was passed, Jones set a swifter
pace. Then came Terrill for the lead
which he kept all the way to the home
stretch. Jones was following closely
and, just as the band finished the first
bar, shot ahead, keeping in the lead
and finishing first by over a length.
Time, 1:46 2-5.
Second heat. Jones was started off
first, Terrill preferring to remain just
a second or so behind. The pace was
very slow, the riders cycling each other
closely. At the end of the first lap,
made in lis, Jones was ahead. He
kept this all the way and, try as Ter
rin would to pass him he could not.
Jones winning almost as he liked.
Time, 2:05
