Ten Riders Go Down in a
Bunch One is Badly

THEY'RE DEAD, | WIN
Cried One Of the Riders Who Was
Temporarily Demented By Strain
Of the Race.

New York, Dec 13.-The worst acct
dent since the beginning OF the six
day bicycle race at Madison Square
garden occurred early today when ten
Of the thirteen riders on the track
went down in a bunch at what is
known as dead mans curve on the
Twenty sixth street side Of the sauc-
er. HOLSTER Of the Samuelson- Hollis
ter combination of Salt Lake City and
Vanoni. one of the foreign riders. were
severely injured and several of the
other riders were badly shaken. The
board track was torn up for nearly
twenty five yards and 1t was found
necessary to suspend the race for an
hour and a half before the racing sur
face could be put In a condition to
resume the grind. 1t was thought at
the time of the accident that HOLSTER
might be fatally injured.
An evidence Of the effect upon the
riders of the frightful strain was
shown at the time of the crash. While
the men were still lying in heap
on the track Pye of the ClarkPye
combination, who had escaped with
slight injuries, leaped out Of the bunch
and, running wildly along the track
began to shout: I win the race! !
win the race! They're all dead but
me! l win" He was quoted and
taken to his quarters. When the race
was resumed Pye was again in the
saddle Keeling off the miles.
Another attempt by Walthour and
BedeIl to recover their lost Jap failed
just before noon by a fall, this time
by Downing, when the plucky Amert-
cans had only a quarter of a lap to
go to be even with the leaders.
