 Are Left.

Are Left.
 As the great six day bicycle race in the Garden hears it's end, popular in terest in the competitors is growing ac- cordingly. A frenzied crowd of more than 10000 cheered the whizzing wheelmen last night. as they spun around the high banked track at ter rife pace. In spite of the fact that the leaders are more than 130 miles behind the record the result is in so much doubt that spectators are worked into frenZied enthusiasm as the lead alternateS between the various teams.
 At a. III. five of the pairs of eager bicyclists were tied for first place, and it was anybody'S race at the beginning of the last day. A large part of tue excited crowd still was in the Garden at ? a. m.
 Maya, the Pennsylvanian, began a sprint at o'clock which lasted so long the riders were strung out all over the track. They spun round and round at so mad pace the spectators were half crazy. In the middle of the wild- ness McEachern and Wilson came into collision. They rolled over and over on the track and down to the edge, where trainers helpers pulled them out of the way of the sprinting riders. The men were thought to be seriously hurt. Both were cut and bleeding. Their wheels We're smashed beyond re- pair. Restoratives were applied and the men immediately mounted new wheels. Neither was badly hurt and i'll few minutes were going as if nothing had happened.
 In another sprint McEachern, Me Lean, Julius and Fredericks came into collision. They all went down in a heap. with Julius underneath. When the men were picked up and extricated from broken wheels it was found that Julius had been badly hurt. He was taken from the track, although beg ging to be permitted to continue riding He was conscious, but appeared to be dazed and muddled, and was half led and half carried from the track. It was feared he may be injured internal ly, as his fall was particularly hard one.
 The five American teams are the ones tied for first position. At the. 10th hour they were 112 miles and laps behind the record.
 To-day will see the racers changing and shifting in reliefs frequently They will eat and sleep beside the track in sight of the spectators until the race is at an end.
 Julius was examined by doctors at z o'clock and his injuries proved to Dc similar to those of Fischer. who sus- tained a fracture of the collarbone in a miX-up on Thursday afternoon. This would have caused the managers to declare the Swedish team out of the race, but the rule was overlooked our posely. Lawson was permitted to fin ish the score for the team. He will ride twelve hours to-day without partner.
 At 5 o'clock McLaren astOnished the crowd with a sprint. He shot from the bunch and gained circuit of the oval in half mile chase. The leading team made no effort to catch him. The sprint was remarkable in the fact that McLaren sufferedjtwo nasty fails during the day and was supposed to be on the verge of collapse. He also had lost two laps the day before.
 The betting last night was even money on the Pan-American team Me Eachern and Walthour, against the field. McEachern relieved Walthour about o'clock, Walthour taking nap. His wheels lay beside him and a trainer sat ready to arouse him at an instant's notice. ssss
