BUTLER QUITS TRACK
And NELSON WINS
Latter Has 1t Easy in Race
at the Coliseum.
Walker Makes Good in the One-half-
Mile Amateur Handicap Event
o. Hammill Second.

The bicycle races which were sched-
uled to have been run off on Wednesday
at the Coliseum race track, Fourteenth
and East Capitol Streets, were held last
night. Only fair-sized crowd wit
messed the sport. and but two events on
the card were run off. The principal
one was the race between Joe Nelson
and Nat Butler. This was scheduled to
be a ten-mile motor paced affair, TO be
ridden in three heats. Buffers machine
went wrong before the race. After a
while it was discovered that 1t had
been broken beyond repair, and it was
decided to pace him with a single motor.
Nelson started in to plug from the
first, and a. no time during the entire
fifteen miles was his front wheel more
than a foot from the rear of his pace
making machine. On the other hand
Butler experienced great trouble in
hanging on. In the sixth he lost the
trail. and then Nelson opened up and
began to ride rings around him..
After riding about two miles without
pace and not succeeding ia catching his
machi9e Butler and his pacemaker quit
the track. Just before Nat quit the
track Nelson scored his fourteenth lap.
His time for the fifteen miles was
21:56 30.
In addition to this race, three trial
heats and a final of the one-nalf mile
amateur handicap. race were run oil.
The first trial heat was won by F. CAM

and II. D. Talbert (55 yards), fourth.

who started from scratch, was in this
heat, and it was consequently the fast

by several yards, and o. E. Manglitz 600
yards), came second: F. b. Maxwell (l0
yards), was third. and o. Hammiil. a
crack local sprinter, was forced TO be
content with fourth place.
The third heat was also lively one.
L.. Walker 40 YARDS had hard fight
with 5. A. Shirley, (scratch man for
first place. but he finally skinned over
ahead of his opponent. o. H. Miller

YARDS was fourth.
The final heat was fercely contested.
Those whose handicap placed them al
most half way ahead of the scratch men
had a hard fight, and Hill, Miller and
Shirley, the three scratch men, had to
work. 1t was not HIS aim to win the
race as much as it was to freeze Shirley
out and prevent him from taking any
coin back to Columbus with him. Hill
succeeded admirably, and Shirley did not
get a place. l.. Walker came first, with
o. Hammill second, and f. Ganzhorn

P0TOMACS VS.. ANAL0STANS.
Four Dared Race for Junior Crews a
Feature of Tomorrow's Regatta.

The members of the Potomac Boat
Club have been taking hard practice
all the week for their midsummer re-
gatta. to be held tomorrow afternoon
over the upper course.
It is expected that this will be the
largest club regatta held on this river
this season, as the program includes
events as follows:
Single sculls, first and second class;
double sculls. double working. boats.
single and double canoes, junior and
mixed eights.
All of above events are for club mem
bers only. An additional feature and
c7a W.it.H promises to be decidedly in
teresting Is the junior four-oared she'll
race between Potomac and Analostan
crews. Both crews have been work.
ing hard in preparation for the event.
and, Notwithstanding the fact that the
Potomacs had to borrow boat and have
had little time to become accustomed
to it, they hope to make a good show
ing against their lighter but very fast
rivals.
The crews Will probably be made up
as follows:
Potomacs-Hernan, stroke; MCGOWAN,
3; Moses. 2; Marean. bow.
Analostars-Nevins, stroke; Evans,
3: Whepley 2; Burke. bow.
The race will be over a mile course.
and. like all the other events, will
finish in front of the boathouse. The re-
,ho, NJ %hn
management promises that there will
be no unnecessary delay between races.
Admission to boathouse will be by card
only.
