JIMMY MICHAEL BEATEN.
His Tire COlIapseS in His Race With
Tom Linton.

New York, July 16.-For the second time
this year Jimmy Michael the once invinc-
ible paced bjcyclist was forced 10 drink
the bitter cup of defeat His old school
mate in Wales. Tom Linton, was the one
to lower Michaels colors to-day, and at
the same time he broke the worlds record
for the distance.
Linton accomplished the feat in 2O-mlle
paced race at Manhattan Beach, in the
presence of 1900 people.
For four miles it was a pretty race,
Michael leading by a few yards. Sudden
ly Michaels tire collapsed.
Naturally Linton pursued him, and after
riding two laps Of the fifth mile Michael
stopped and pedalled slowly to This cor
ner'' where he changed his damaged
wheel for a new one. In the meantime,
Linton kept going like the wind and be-
fore Michael came Back on the track Lin
ton was one mile ahead. When Michael
left the track he was met with storm
of Kisses.
Michael met with another slight draw
back on entering his tenth mile, when
his pacing team broke a chain. After
Michael let up there was little interest
in the race outside of Lintons efforts to
reduce the record.
Although he tried, he could add no new
figures until the fifteenth mile, when he
started in by clipping five and one-hfth
seconds off the record. He continued
ahead of the record every mile until the
finish breaking the twenty mile record
by exactly seven seconds. He could have
made better time had ne not lost mis- pace
makers while rounding for the last lap.
Not content with the result, Michael at
once challenged Linton for another race
at twenty-five miles. Linton accepted and
the race wil be run at the Manhattan
Beach track on Saturday next.
