SENATORS WON AGAIN
Continued from Seventh Page)

haps the best bunch of crack amateurs
that have ever raced in this city at one
time.
The races themselves were highly inter
| estfng, and the finishes in many instances
were of the Misunderstanding order. Three
| records were broken. Floyd Mcfarland,
the lanky Californian, in his heat of the
| two-mile handicap. the jubilee event of the
| day, rode like a fend and, though he did
| not win the race, he qualified, and was
successful in winning the final The time
was taken in his heat, and he covered
| the two miles in 4.0S %, which breaks the
| worlds record, established last year at In
dianapols, Ind, by Eddie Bald who rode
| the distance in 4.0S 3-5, just one-fifth of
| second slower.
| The other record that was smashed was
| the one-mile exhibition, which resulted in
the riding of the fastest mile ever known
| on bicycle. Fourier, the daredevil
| Frenchman with c. s. Henshaw steering
| and with the assistance of his motorcycle
| rode mile in 1.31 10. The best previous
| time ever made was 1.31 40 which Major
| Taylor, the colored rider, is accredited with
| having ridden last fall al the Willow Grove
track, Philadelphia, behind human pace
| Fournier and Henshaw We're mounted on
the motorcycle, the power supplied being
augmented by chain adjustment connected
with the pedals. The five-mie amateur
| handicap record was also smashed, though
not announced.
1t was the first time the local public ever

filled with the motor, while the operator
occupies the rear seat When the machine
appeared the track making a noise
something like "a steam engine, the people
did not think it could travel fast but in
this they were mistaken. AS Fournier let

Fourier declared that he could cover a
mile in 1.20 on the park track. He stated
that he gagged himself only to break the
record.
A. c. Moran was the only local man who
won anything. He qualified in almost all
of the races in which he entered. He won
his heat in the two-mile jubilee handicap,
and in the final obtained second place. He
made a magnificent sprint and won the
place the homestretch, being the last
man in the bunch when the third turn was
reached. Billie Sims rode much better than
was expected. after his bad fall last Sat
urday in New York, his limbs still being
SCARED up and stiff from the accident.
In the amateur events none of the local
men fast enough to obtain place,
the outside talent carrying. off all of the
honors. In the five-mie handicap Ruiz
did excellent work, though he was warned
by the referee about looking behind. He
kept the bunch in the lead, and on the last
lap sprinted far ahead and was an easy
winner. The scratch men. Schofield and
Hausman, worked hard, but were unable
to cut down the lead.
