McEAcHERN DEFaEATy MONROE.


Exciting Contest Btxveer Mstor Cy-
cles Mt the COlfseuna.
I'm the presence Of ,lan unusually large
crowd Of spectators. despite the condition
of affairs existing in washington, Archie
AcEachern. the Canadian middle ie-distance
rider. again demonstrated HIS ability as a
pace follower by defeating Bennie Monroe
of Alabama IN a twenty-niie motor-paced
race at the Coliseum last night The race
was rather a one-sided affaif. owing to the
Illness of Monroe, who was4attacked with
cramps after having ridden about four
miles on the big wooden bowl Instead OF
giving nm the race. as he was urged to, he
continued to ride his way around the track
rather than disappoint the spectators. Me-
Eachern won by one mile and four laps
In 81. .18.
At the start the Canadian took the lead,
which he maintained throughout the entire
race tapping the southefner ten times.
Monroe lost his pace twice during the con-
test, and the last time Just when he was
about to close In on McEachern at the fin
ish. McEachern was the better follower Of
the two behind the big motor machines and
seemed to have little trouble following the
pace. On the other hand, Monroe found 1t
eaffYicult. owing to his Illness, which COM
PEELED him to finish sitting upright ON his
wheel Monroe was paced by Sherer and
C,audette. while McEachern had as his
pacemakers Babcock and Thompson.
In the motor races three machines were
entered, but one machine was disabled be-
fore the races so that 1t could not be re-
paired In time for the event. It was to
have been manned by AL Newhouse and
Bob Hunter The heats were cut down
from five-mile heats to one-mile heats, with
a semi-final of two miles instead Of five
miles and final of ten miles The races
received their usual rounds of applause and
the close finishes brought the people to
their feet at the same time frantically dis
playing their approval of the latest style
Of racing. The first heat was won by AL.
Zimmerman and r. B. McFeeters from
Walter Sherer and Fred Gaudette; the final
was won by O. v. Babcock and Bobby
Thompson from Sherer and Gaudette.
The motors represented were the Wash
ington Royal Blue, the Baltimore Royal
Blue Flyer and Black Joe. The Washing
ton was ridden by AL. Zimmerman and w.
McFeeters; the Baltimore flyer had as
mount Walter Sherer and Fred Gaudette;
the Black Joe machine was looked after by
Oscar Babcock and B. Thompson.
The summaries:
