WHOLESALE By RdY DUER.

Tho Buffalo Amateur Captures n Twenty
Mile Race and Finishes the Performance
by Riding 80 Miles and 44O Yards in Ono
Hour-KrRmer nm Amateur Champion.
Great riding was Witnessed at Berkeley Oval
Yesterday when Roy Duer. the Buffalo ANA
teur rode "a miles and 440 yards in one hour
and broke all worlds amateur records from
one mile to thirty-four inclusive. except the
one for two miles. All the records from one to
fifteen miles were held by Duer. excepting
those for two and six miles, and the others
were held by John Nelson OF Montreal.
The most remarkable part OF the perform
ance was the amount cut of the record. At
thirty four miles Duer was 5 minutes and
1919 seconds under the figures. From the
thirteenth to the eighteenth mile inclusive he
was inside the professional marks.
The new records established were incidental
to twenty mile race between Duer. Ryan and
Earl. which Duer won after a gamey struggle
with Ryan. Earl quit at FIVE miles
ms no was plainly outclassed. Duer
took the lead from the start
paced by Miller 4 Judge on their French motor
tandem Ryan held to him closely up to the
fifteenth mile when he jumped into the lead
after an exciting battle. The mon were then
13 3-5 seconds ahead Of the professional
record Miller passed his man inside Of
q lap but before another circuit had been
made. Ryan was in front again. In the
seventeenth mile tho men rode side
by side. each striving to get the lead.
After half lap OF this. Ryan weakened and
lost his pace. which cost him 100 yards and
the race. That 1t was almost a toss-up be-
tween them, however was shown by the fact
that Immediately afterward. Duer fell away
from his pace. II was Duer's race from that
on. 1t was the best paced m atch that has been
