Good Bicycle Races.
The bicycle races were exceedingly
interesting, although Ottumwa was not
represented. The two mile was rid
den very slowly, no one being willing
i to take the pace until the last half
Dow and Smith, the two Davenport
men, started on a long sprint. Carson
of East Des Moines, was not far be-
hind, and Wood, of Humboldt, who
had done good work in the preliminar-
les, qualifying in the second heat at
ter falling in the first, also made a
strong ride but was outclassed in
sprinting by the others, and Dow won,
i with Smith second and Carson third.
u In the half mile the two East Des
i Moines men, Carson and Carlson,gay
very pretty exhibition Of team work,
Carlson taking the pace and pulling
hundred yards of the finish where he
!. dropped out, letting Carlson finish
first. Ferron, of Council Bluffs, got
second place and Dow, the Davenport
rider, third. The state record of 1:12
was broken by Carlson's time of
i 1908 As.
Shot Put and Discus Throw.
: Lester Linton was entered in the
shot put, and the local men had hopes
of his being placed, but he could do no
better than fourth place, being beat
en- by only half an inch by Griffith, of
. West Des Moines. Rollins won this
event and Cave took second. Cave
} turned the tables on his Des Moines
! opponent in the discus throw, how
: ever, and Rollins had to be content
; with second place, Stoufer of West
Des Moines, taking third.
; Quarter Mile and Mile.
The 440 yard dash was one of the
events Ottumwa had counted on, and
Laid would have done good work but
! for his Illness, which prevented his
participating. Christie ran this race
and ran well. but was outclassed, and
at the finish could do no better than
!, fifth, Hodgdon, of Grinnell, taking
first, Grant, of Davenport second and

} Ottumwans entered in the mile which
was won easily by Keisel, Cave get
!, ting second, and Mayne, of Harlan,
third.
