CYCLfRS GROW SILLY
FROM ovER-ExERT1oN AND LOSS
OF SLEEP
MANY OF THE MEN DROP OUT
Miller Has Gained Good Lead and Is
Booked to Win, Barring
Accidents
Associated Press Special Wire

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The struggle be-
tween Miller and Waller for the first place
in the six-day bicycle race continued all
night. Miller was leading at 2 o'clock this
morning, but at 5 o'clock Waller was five
miles ahead, having taken advantage of
Mier's rest interval. Neither Miller nor
Waller had taken any rest to speak of up to
7 a. m. Pierce, on the contrary, took a
rest Of nearly an hour and half Getween
4 and 6 o'clock.
Seven o'clock found the three fighting
gamely, Miller making desperate efforts to
catch Waller. There were signs that Waller
was wearing out. Twice within a few min
utes he fell on the track, once taking Miller
with him, and the second time causing
Stevens to take a somersault over him. No
one was seriously hurt.
Pierce tried hard to keep close on the
heels of the two leaders. He is fresh and
apparently using his hard sense, and is
waiting for the rest that both Waller and
Miller will need after their struggle to make
gains on each other. The two Frenchmen
and the Australian dropped out of the race
during the night They were ordered off
by Referee Wilson at the suggestion of the
board of health doctors.
Schinneer dropped out of the race at 1885,
with l248 miles and 8 laps to his credit
His wife and his physician advised him not
to return. AT noon Hale told his trainers
that he would be unable to continue. He
may be induced to 90 on,the track again.
Lack of sleep began to show its effect on
the men today Lawson awoke from sleep
on his wheel and wanted to know why he
was riding tandem. His trainer brought
him to his senses with little ammonia
Stevens became stubborn and refused TO
obey his trainers. He refused point blank
to go on the track until his trainer humored
him by giving him new pair of tan bicycle
shoes. Other racers showed childishness in
their ways. Walters trainer is afraid Waller
has little chance to win unless Miller should
fall or weaken.
Score of the four leaders at midnight:
Miller, 1889; Waller, 1749; Pierce, 1925; Al
bert, 1910.
Before midnight Miller had beaten the
worlds record made by himself year ago,
and his friends believe that he will be able
TO remain ahead of his own record until the
race is ended. A large crowd thronged Madi-
son Square garden all day, and at midnight
Thousands OF enthusiasts remained to cheer
on the jaded six-day racers. Miller began to
gain on his opponents early in the evening,
and at o'clock he was only five miles be-
hind the record of 1897. He then left the
track, remaining off about thirty-five mnu-
ties. At 8 o'clock Turville withdrew from
the race with 1885 miles to his credit
AT midnight Miller had 1889 miles and
laps to his credit, about five miles ahead of
his record at the same period last year.
Waller, the second man, had l749 miles and
8 laps to his credit. He took about half an
hours rest tonight and when he returned to
the track appeared to be in good condition.
