The other riders merely kept up a

ports OF yesterday morning Faith had
been pinned 10 the Samuelson- Williams
team after il was seen that the other
Salt Lake riders had gone TO the bad,
and it was hO3ed that the Pride of
Provo would be able TO gain that lost
lap. Had he done SO, his chance of
winning out i'm the final sprint was
good, as Sam" las fully as good an ar
ticle OF this kind as any many left in
the race at the finish

tai lap. and 1t was Caldwell who quit
This left Hopper high and stranded.
and without q team mate he was forced
70 quit the race. The Downing-Lim-
berg team was not looked upon as be-
ing very strong as they had not trained
sufficiently for so long A grind. Pal
mer and Agraz should have been in
good condition as both trained faith
fully. but both are novices at the six
day game.
T. VI. Samuelson brother of w r
Samuelson. said last evening that he
lad received a letter from his brother
just before the races started stating
that Samuelson had contracted a bad
cold in Buffalo while training. and was
not in the best OF condition for. this
3fason. This probably affected SANS
riding somewhat.
