ON THE TRACK
Vampire Football Club Man
Wins Four Running Races
on the Ingleside Course
OAKLAND MEN DO WE'LL
Finish First in Five Out
of Six of the Cycling
Events on the Days Card

Inc spectators at the Denent meet
at Ingleside race course yesterday for
the athletic amphitheater in Golden
Gate Park, saw a varied card, replete
with exciting incidents, run off in snap
py style. The day was cold and blus-
tering, but it did not seem to dull the
ardor Of the competitors, although It
made the spectators uncomfortable.
The principal thrill came in the five
mile motor cycle race. d. Wilkie. the
scratch man, was travelling at a 1880
gait, when he lost control Of his ma
chine at the turn into the stretch. He
made an effort 10 keep on the inside
Of the track, but failed. His machine
swerved under him and a cry of hor-
ror went up from the spectators as man
and machine rolled over and over in
the dust. There was an instant's hush
and then the spectators breathed easily
as they saw Wilkie stand up to take
stock Of damages. A broken pedal on
the machine and a wrenched arm for
its operator completed the list.
A. A. Glarner of the Olympic Foot
ball Club was the sensational performer
Of the day. He won the 100, 220. 440
and 800 yard runs cleVerly. He ran the
final Of the hundred" in 10 2-5 sec
oEds from the three-yard mark. He
ran the 220' in "a 1-5 and the half
mile in PIP.
David F. Sullivan and Phil Wand,
two oid-time champion sprinters, met
in a 100-yard match. Sullivan won in
straight heats. The first heat was run
in 10 4-5. excellent time for men who
have not had on spiked shoes in years.
The Oakland Wheelmen carried off
the honors in the bicycle races, winning
five out of the six events on the card.
The finishes were all close, the first
three riders usuallF being inches apart
at the tape.
The boys OF the Mission Grammar
School ran away from their opponents
in the relay race. adding another trO-
ply TO their collection.
Referee Frank G. O'Kane and his
assistants ran off the programme rap
idly. There were no delays. the nine
teen events being disposed of ahead of
the stipulated time
1t will not be known to what extent
the park fund will profit by yesterdays s
meeting until all the returns are in on
tickets Many We're sold which were
not presented at the gate.
