NEW YORK, December ~12-Interest in
the six-day bicycle grind around the ten
lap track at Madlso Square Garden has
never tagged since the start shortly az
ter midnight last Monday morning. The
attendance so far is away ahead OF All
previous races here. although the riders
are many miles behind the record.
AT halc-past 9 o clock tonight the man
agcment closed the ticket Office and re-
fused TO admit any more people into tho
big arena. as the police authorities were
afraid Of a panic or some serious ac-
cident on account OF the congestcd con
dition IN the garden.
Liberal offers OF money were made by
some OF the spectators during the after
noon as an inducenent for the teams to
gain "a lap. Every racer tried frequently
TO capture these prizes. but UP 20 a late
hour the relative standing Of the teams
had not been changed.
