HONORS FOR M'LAUGHLIN
Takes Mile Cycling Cham
piOnship From Waible, the
Garden City Cyclers' Star

The riders sporting the Maltese cross
Of the Bay City Wheelmen carried Off
the lions share Of the honors yester-
day at Ingleside race track The occa-
sion was the closing day Of the meet
ing promoted by the California Asso-
ciated Cyclists.
The Bay City Wheelmen's team won
the relay race; Walter de Mara OF the
same club won the half mile champion
ship; F. H. Mclaughlin won the mile
championship, and Walter de Mara and
H. L. Newsom won the five mile tan
dem race.
OF the other events c. r. Mershon
Of Reno won the two. mile handicap
from scratch; J. r. Berryessa OF the
Garden City cyclers won the five mile
championship, and w. G. Waible Of the
same club won the five mile paced
event.
The surprise Of the day was the de-
feat of Waible, the crack rider from
San Jose, by F. H. Mclaughlin in the
mile championship. Waible had one
heat TO his credit, but Mclaughlin took
the next two and the race. In each
race Mclaughlin jumped into the lead
when the final sprint began and stalled
off the desperate challenges of his COM
petitorS.
The five mile championship was run
under novel conditions. There were six
starters and it was agreed the last man
over the tape in each heat would with
draw. This would leave two in to
fight out the last mile. The end Of the
third mile, however, developed a dead
heat and all remained in. The race
was won ultimately by j. r. Berryessac
Of San Jose
The two-mile handicap was the most
spectacular race Of the day. 1t was
he Or,Iv in, xu7 foH helH I,
looking fall. Some rider went down
on the first turn Of the second mile. A
number of others who could not dodge
the prostrate rider were also thrown
A number Of them lost some cuticle.
but no bones were broken. Mershon Of
Reno worked his way into a good posi-
tion and when sprinting commenced
track He won by half wheels
length.
The motor races attracted small
fields and the competition was not
keen. Frank Carroll won the most ex-
citing of these races. Three men were
started a third Of mile apart. Car
roll overlook the second Of his Cp-
ponents after travelling seven miles.
The dull weather had a depressing
effect on both the attendance and the
competition. The average time was
slow. The results in detail:
