HOW Walthour Defeated Berlin Cracks
When Bobby Walthour, of the Co.
lumoia racing team, wins a bicycle
race, 1t is usually popular event. but
in Berlin, recently, he captured race
over the German champion that cast
veil of gloom over those in attend
ance who had expected to see their
idols defeat the blond lad from At
lanta, Ga.
Walthour literally rode rings around
his opponents, who were Robl the
German crack; Piet Dickentmann, of
Holland, the long distance champion
OF the last three seasons, but who did
not compete in the recent worlds
championship, and Tom Hall, of Eng
land, who has record Of forty-two
miles within the hour behind a motor
without wind shields. Halls motor
was not equipped with wind shields.
and this virtually put him out of it.
At the crack Of the pistol Dieckent-
mann had the lead. Within few
yards OF his back tire came Hoffman,
with Walthour in tow, and then Robl,
with his tandem. This was the order
lap after lap, Danglard, with Hall,
guarding the rear at respectful dis
lance from the main body. About five
minutes after the start Robl sum-
moned up his energies for an attack
on Walthour, who responded by beat
ing him off. and at the same time re-
ducing Dickentmann's lead. To en-
couraging shouts Robl made up his
mind for a second attack, which &C.
Cured on the thirty.seventh lap, when
he made rush at the American, who
again fought him OF.
Then Robl took it easier and
dropped back somewhat to prepare
himself for the third attack which he
made with desperate vigor few kilo-
metres later on, but was met with an
equally desperate resistance. Dick
entmann changed pace. Walthour's
third rebuff to Robl had the effect of
quieting the latter down, for on the
completion of the fortieth kilometre he
was a half lap behind. Dickent.
mann was still flying Duschman.
In the early flfties no created SEN
sation by overlapping his great, Ger
man rival, who almost Immediately re-
ceived similar dose of humiliation
from Walthour. The interest now
conferred itself on America and Hol-
land. Try as he might, Bobbie
couldn't get by Pet, who hung onto
the lead for all he was worth. Dick
entmann's second team Of pacemak-
ers were put on the track for him
once more. Suddenly Walthour took
the lead from the Dutchman. Then,
as if the American had rid himself of
an incubus, he shot ahead. overlapped
Robl for the second time and was
hard in chase of Dickentmann, over
hauling him, too, before the times fol
the seventy kilometres were an
nounced.
Walthour's time for the 100 kilo
metres stood 1.234S, Dickentmann be
ing $40 metres behind and Hall $500
The winners time might have been
better but for the wind blowing across
| the track.
