Fully 1900 people witnessed Owen Kimble
win the second and deciding heat in the
match race with George Leander. Of Chi
ago. last night at Newly Oval. The finish
of the heat. which was for one-half mile,
alone repaid those who selected Newly
Oval as the place 70 spend the evening Of
the Fourth Of July. The race was for the
best two I'm three heats, and in the after
noon Kimble won the first heat OF one
quarter mile. The second heat was looked
upon as a decisive one. as the friends OF
Kimble believed he would capture IL and
thus save the necessity Of running the third
heat. But Leander gave him a harder fight
for first place than he ever had before. and
II was only by a margin OF four or five
inches that he won.
Kimble had the pole in the heat last
light. and when the riders left the tape
Leander was thrown in the lead. and for
one lap and a half they j~ockeyed around the
track. cycling each other constantly. Turn
ing into the back stretch Leander made his
jump and Kimble followed i'm a twinkling.
Leander forged a foot or so to the front,
but Kimble closed up this distance. and
when they turned into the stretch Leander
led by only a quarter wheels length. Kim
bic made a beautiful squirt and caught even
with Leander within ten feet of the tape.
Both men made a desperate fight for first
place. and Kimble was successful amid loud
cheering. The time for the hair was 1853 10.

Some Pretty Finishes Seen ON the
Newly Oval Track.

The interesting programme of races Of
fered for the afternoon did not attract the
people. as the heat drove them TO the parks.
There WIS only a small crowd present to
see some OF the p~rettiest finishes ever wit
messed at Newly Oval. In addition to the
races Walker and Lenneper performed on
the high wire and trapeze.
Interest centered in the first heat OF the
match race between Kimble and Leander
for one-quarter mile. Kimble had the pole
and the two men hung closely together with
Kimble in the lead until they turned into
the back stretch, when Leander tried to
jump 10 the front. Kimble was on the alert,
however. and spurted and kept in the lead.
As the two men entered the stretch the
race was a pretty one with not a quarter
wheel length between them. They both
spurted for the tape and kimble finished
first by about three quarters of a length.
The one-mile professional pursuit race
was also an interesting event. The men
were stationed around the track with an
equal distance between them. kimble was
placed on the tape. but when Bowler and
others tried TO start from the high bank
he objected and Ii WIS agreed that Kimble
should take Bowler's place i'm the track.
The men all started on the line and the
conditions of the race provided that any
rider caught by another rider was out of
the race and the man making the fastest
time was TO win. Bowler rode a wonderful
race and caught Leander on the third lap
and also passed both Ed and Jacob Stein
metez. Kimble caught L.. V. Holloway. OF
Chicago. but slackened his pace and Bow
Ter won. Headspeth, the colored rider. fin
ished third.
In the half mile professional event nine
lined up on the tape for the start. After
passing the tape for the last lap there was
a spill in which Gordon. Bowler and Ed
Steinmetz were thrown. Bowler was max
Ing a rush 10 the front when this occurred
and he lost a chance TO get within the
money. Leander and Kimble came down
the stretch side by side and Just before
the tape was reached Leander made a
wonderful jump and pushed his wheel over
the tape first.
Willis Coval made a wonderful finish In
the two-mile amateur event and won.
Scofeld, who finished third. was disouali-
fed for fouling Parsons In the stretch.
