In his race with Jack Dubois at the
Coliseum track last evening Johnny
Fisher rode ten miles behind pace in
1924 rs. Considering the fact that af-
ter the sixth mile Dubois was no long
er an unknown quantity to the speedy
cyclist, this is remarkably fast time. 1t
is almost two minutes faster than Col
lett's time on the same track last Tues
day night, when he defeated Johnny
Lake.
Fisher was paced in his contest with
Dubois by Porter and Kramer on
motor tandem Dubois was likewise
paced by Blye and Kent. The start-off
o fthis race was very close, and for five
miles neither contestant was able to
gain perceptibly on the other. Fishers
pace makers had the pole and by sue
cessfujly meeting every attempt of the
others to take it from him. brought
him in first on every mile 1t was ap-
parent, though, that Dubois was not
following his pace as closely as his rival
and several times he was seen to drop
many yards behind, only regaining his
distance by desperate sprinting.
In the seventh mile his pace makers
attempted to take him at faster clip
and for short space of time it looked
as though they would pass Fisher. Du
Bots, though, was unequal to the effort
and to the surprise of all his pace drew
away from him and left him fully half
lap in the rear. Before he could re-
gain his position again Fisher had lap
ped him and was clcse b hind him ready
for another attempt. Dubois pace
makers gave him brief breathing spell
and then made another unsuccessful at
tempt to regain the lost distance. The
gap between him and Fisher opened In
half a minute to half lap and both
teams were going at tremendous rate.
But Dubois again dropped his pace and
in an Incredibly short time the speedy
Fisher, following his pace like a Mich
ael had lepred him for the third time
In the ninth mile Blye, who steered
Dubois tandem met with an accident
which put the latter out of the race for
good. His left peddle broke, and In a
second Fisher went by them for the last
time. 1t was within two laps of the
finish and the tandem retired from the
race. AS the gong was sounded for the
last lap Fisher, as fresh as when he
started passed his pacing team and fin
Used alone.
