Thrown From Their Wheels.
New oYrk. June 1.-THE one mile
match race between Tom Cooper and
Frank Kramer at the Vailesburg BIZ
cycle track Sunday, ended in a mix-up
after the men had raced q of a mile.
When the pacemaxer- dropped out in
the Cooper-Kramer match just before
the q post, Cooper was in front. He
started to pull up the bank from the
pole and Kramer tried to get through.
The space was not large enough and
kramers wheel caught Cooper's pedal
and the riders were thrown with terrific
force. They remounted and although
Kramer got a lead of 25 yards, Cooper
passed him on the sprint home. Kra-
mer then claimed a foul but finally the
whole affair was compromised by de-
claring the race off. It will be run over
again on June "a.
OF the other races the feature was the
team work of Mcfarland and Stevens in
the five mile handicap. Stevens won the
race. Summary:
