took life easier in the remainder of the struggle.
Michael put speed in the final mile. covering the
distance in 1:39 fat. Mcfarland, usual rode
plucky race but ne is not in the best physical
condition. In the ninth mile the chain his
pacing tandem broke, and he forced to ride
unpaced for several laps. The Garden track has
always been to Michaers liking and he never
showed to better advantage. He changed pace

roared their approval. That is how the midget
downed the giant.

the colored man. Then Coett defeated Fisher,
and Kramer away from Freeman, leaving Col
