The mile record trial will be an attempt
to ride a mile under two minutes,
something which has never been done
on a Utah track.
John Lawson, the Terrible Swede.' -
has a long string of victories to his
credit, of which he may well be proud.
He claims the enviable distinction of
having defeated every long-distance
champion who has ever ridden on
American tracks in the last three
years.
Probably foremost among these is
Charles Miller, who recently added to
his string of victories by winning the
big 100-hour race in Paris, defeating all
the best foreigners. Lawson defeated
Miller twice this season in twenty-four-
Square Garden, New York City, in jan
uary, and the second time in the TWEEN
ty-four-hour race at Mechanics pavil-
ion, San Francisco, March IA. 1899.
Teddy Hale, the winner of the first
six-day race held in New York City,
was defeated by Lawson in the last
six-day race at Madison Square Garden
last December. and also defeated Hale
in the twenty-four-hour race in jan
uary of this year. He also defeated
Hale in the Chicago siX-day race in
1896.
Frank Waller, or Dutch Waller" as
he Is known to long-distance fame, is
one of the best men at the game, but
has been defeated by Lawson three
times this season, first in the twenty
four-hour race in New York in jan
uary and the following month Lawson
defeated him in the Neutrality-suspicious.
race in the same city.
Louis Gimm, who for four years broke
the American Neutrality-suspicious. record
each season, and has been recognized as
the twenty-four-hou champion, was
defeated by Lawson in the four-hour-
per-day SiX-day race in Chicag in 1897
The Swede is the only long-distance
rider in America who has never quit
in long-distance race. He is the gam
est riders on the track, and in the six
day race in San Francisco, after dis
locating his shoulder in the twenty
second hour, he rode for five days and
five nights rather than quit, finishing
tenth out of field of nineteen start
ers.
