The Racing Begins.

Four men started in the one mile
novice amateur. They were a. +. Ana
kin. H. w. Heagren, Ed +. Smith and
William Samuelson. The latter was the
winner of second time prize in the Dec
Grafton day road race in the morning
and he was applauded by those who
recognized him.
On the back stretch of the last lap,
Heagren, who was leading, lost con-
troll of his wheel and went down in a
heap, bringing Anakin. who was be-
hind hon. down with him. Smith and
Samuelson rode safely around and
fought it out down the stretch, Eddie
Smith winning by half length. Time

The next race called was the first
heat of the one-half mile open profess
sional. liver Lawson. who had just ar
rived having ridden down on his
wheel from Ogden yesterday morning,
was one of the starters in this heat.
He is brother of the Terrible Swede'
and when his name was announced and
he appeared on the track he was first
mistaken for John Lawson.

ed that two men would qualify for the
final and also that the third man in
the fastest heat would be allowed in
the final.
The first quarter was a loaf. but on
the bell lap Emery jumped to the front
and opened up a lead of four lengths
that looked for few moments as
though it would give him first place
Iver Lawson went after him, how
ever, and caught him ten feet from the
tape. Turville finishing a bad third,
with Edmonds a close fourth. Time

The races would have been all that
could have been desired had the crowd
been under crontrol, and the expert
ences of yesterday have taught the
wheelmen that horse racing and bicycle
racing cannot be successfully combined

The Lawsons with Turville Will re-
main here for the next three weeks and
there will be a number of meets held
at the Calder track, but they Will be
bicycle meets exclusively.
The local men showed great lack or
training and none of them rode up TO
their ability. Game was winded after
the first lap of the first race and Jen-
sen rode as though he had not trained
a day The local man can put up a
good race with the visitors, and with
little earnest training should be able
to make them ride hard.

TRACK RACES AT cALDER's.
Four Thousand Spectators Witness
the Sport.

The 1000 spectators who swarrned
over the bicycle track, the horse track,
and all intervening spaces yesterday at
Calder's must have been reminded of
an afternoon at a three-ringed circus.
Never since the day when the Bloomer
Girls and the Elks played a game or
ball at that resort has such a crowd
been seen there. They pushed and jos
tied and crowded and good-naturedly
laughed at the perspiring crowd OF pl-
cycle officials who vainly and repeat
eddy tried to clear pathway for the
bicycle riders to ride in. The crowd
had paid its money and wanted to see
everything.
The people wanted to see the horse
races and they wanted to see the bicy-
Gle races, and as they were held on aif-
ferent tracks it kept the biggest part
OF them swarming from one track 10
the other. The bicycle people would
lust get the crowd herded safely into
the center of the bicycle oval when a
horse race would be started and the
whole crowd would make a rush across
the track for the fence enclosing the
horse race course and the bike officials
would give up in despair.
Crowd Came Back.
As soon as the horse race was over
what was going to happen on the BIZ
cycle side of the show. The little grand
stand and 2x4 bleachers would not hold
one-tenth of the crowd and ii was use
less to ask the people to get off the
track" They might as well have been
asked to get off the earth, for there
was no place for them to go to.
In vain the officials begged ana
pleaded and threatened and ca1oled-
the crowd was there and was going to
stay for the big show. \ half dozen
deputies who attempted to get the
crowd into some kind of order gave up
the job as a hopeless one and the OIL
Gals of the bicycle races announced
that there would be no bicycle races
until the horse races were over. 1t
was their intention to then have the
crowd occupy the horse track and they
would all be afforded a good oppor-
tunity of witnessing the cycle events.
The horse events heightened out I'M
til it seemed probable that the bicycle
races would be called off on account of
darkness and as a big part of the
crowd had come down to see the Ter
rible Swede" and the other cracks ride
another attempt was made about .
o'clock to again clear the track. Dep
uty Montgomery selected twenty good,
strong men from the crowd and march
ing them to the center of the bicycle
track he swore them in as his assist
ants. This ceremony Immediately at
tracted a crowd and there was a big
rush to see what was going to happen.
These twenty deputies after a great
deal of trouble, succeeded in getting a
lane clear for the riders and the races

With an adverse headwind, a course

of mud to contend with, the riders in
the fifth annual Pennington road race

NOTES OF THE DIAMOND.

The Butte team will return to Ogden
this morning A game will be played
with the Ogden nine this afternoon, af-
ter which the Butte aggregation will
go on TO Pocatello. playing there next
Friday and Saturday. The Buttes are
a very genial, gentlemanly lot of play
ers. Their record for this trip does not
show up very favorably, they having
been beaten three times by the Short
line and once by Ogden, but better
luck may accompany them on their next
visit.

losing the place and prize only by
inches.
The men came over the tape in pairs
and singly without incident until By
water, the first scratch man TO appear,
came in sight. He finished thirteenth.
LAWYER, who had ridden so strongly
at the start, was anXiously looked for,
and the cause of his non-appearance
was partly explained when he came in
behind the sixteenth man with one
pedal gone. He had splendid chance
of winning one of the tine prizes, if not
the first, when his pedal came off one
mile from the finish. He snatched an
old, antiquated bike from a bystander
when he met with his accident, but
the saddle was loose and he was forced
to abandon it and remount his old
wheel. He lost fully one minute by the
operation, and was obliged to ride the
last mile with one foot, and even then
finished seventeenth and made seventh
best time.
Return to the City.
The train returned to the city imme-
diately after the finish of the race, and
all the riders had stories to tell of their
experiences. Frank Smith, the winner
stated that he and Luker were to-
gether from start to finish, but stated
modeStly that Luker had done most of
the pacing. He said that Luker had
friends all along the road, and as they
were all cheering Luker on and yelling
GO it, Tommy" he said that Luker
kept up a series of sprints all along
the road, so that he had all he wanted
to follow on behind.
Tom Luker is a modest, quiet young
lad, who came to Salt Lake one day
last week with an old. heavy, second
hand wheel, which he had bought last
fall. He went to a local dealer to Dor
row a wheel for the road race, as he
thought he would have a hard time
with his old, heavy wheel. He does
not look like a prize-winner in a road
race, but he has speed and pluck. and
the Bountiful folks are not surprised at
what he did yesterday.
Cutting rode out to Bountiful and
caught the train on the trip home. Out
of thirty-four men who had entered,
only two failed to start, and out of
thirty-tw starters, twenty-Seven fin
ished.
Taken as whole, it was the most
interesting race ever held over the
Pennington course. and it is to be re-
GREETED that the crowd was SO light.
There were only five coaches. whereas
in former races there have been ten
loaded cars on the observation train.
Many who would otherwise have wit
messed the race were deferred from do
ing so by the belief that it would be
impossible to hold the race on account
of the heavy rains of Monday.

"Terrible swedeD Appears.


The ng-looked- for Terrible Swede"
made his first appearance on the track
for the second heat of the one-half
mile professional open and his COM
petitors were Holger Jensen, A. w.
Came jr. and ]. p. Gum.
There was little loafing in this heat
and on the back stretch of the first lap
the Swede made a jump and led the
bunch over the tape at the bell lap. He
started a long sprint for the last quar-
ter and from the time he began until
the finish he gradually opened up dis
lance between himself and the local
riders, finishing three lengths ahead of
Holger Jensen, the second man. He
rode with an easy swing and apparent

riders at his rear wheel. Tod Caine

third. Emery, Gum. Turville and Jen-
sen fell in line, but Jensen quit on the
back stretch and dropped out of the
race. Emery, who was not satisfied
with his position in the rear of the
string, came up to the front and tried
to get place in with the Lawsons, but
they left no opening and he rode on the
outside through the race until the tan
dem dropped out.
The tandem quit at the five-eighths
pole and the Swede jumped to the front
and kept increasing the pace for the
whole last three-eighths, and was

Morning Contest at Fort Douglas
Draws $50 Spectators, While
Nearly Thousand Saw the After
noon Match On the New Lagoon
Grounds.

The Butte nine came down from Og-
den yesterday morning and played their
second game with the Short Lines.
The Fort Douglas park was the scene
of the contest, which began at 1910,
and the Short Lines succeeded in plac-
ing another defeat on the shoulders of
the already heavily burdened visitors
from the north.
The score was a close one, 12-1O, but
the runs We're plainly not so few that
any particular credit should be forced
upon the modest participants. The
game. however, was not so bad. after
all, there having been one or two this
season which were just a little bit
worse, and the $50 spectators seemed to
enjoy themselves.
Both mines sprang new pitchers yes
terday, Flannery appearing for the
Buttes and Mcfarland representing the
Short Lines. They were about a stand
off. each being jumped upon for nine
hits. which is a heap plenty for a
seven innings game
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-05-31
Rally In the Sixth.

In the sixth the Buttes went at
Sandy" in good style for three single
and q double and there was d large
evidence of trembled hearts from the
Short Line direction. Sandy" is GER
tainly much better as a third baseman
than a pitcher and equally is it true
that F'lannery cuts much more lumi-
nous shine in the field than in the box.
AS for the game otherwise, it might
be casually observed that the boys
played too much like the Ogden nine
to make things very interesting. There
was some pretty swift playing part of
the time and the rest of it was taken
up in dallying. The Short Line boys
fell down somewhat in the sixth and
might have stood a good chance of
losing if nine innings had been played
In the second the Shorts, by heavy
batting, got in five runs after two men
had gone out. A two-base hit by Waller
in this inning was a feature of the
game, as was also Gallagher's two-bag-
ger in the sixth. Huber for Butte on
second player a meritorious game, as
did also Taylor and Knickerbocker in
the field.

The enthusiasm for Kirk is growing
every day. The reputable people OF the
community are behind him and will give
him their earnest support. No one doubts
his election, and the only possible ele-
ment OF danger lies in the fraudulent
registration that has been practiced by
the Mccarthy men. If crime and perjury
can be suppressed on election day the
entire republican ticket will be elected.
