MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New
York, Dec. 12.-Walter Rutt and Johann
Stoi' the German-H Holland pair, now loom
up as the most likely winners of the six
Jay olcycle race, barring accident. For
oillce there will be little regret il the
championship goes to foreign shores, pro-
Nluihs such a victory would prove the de-
lat of Joe Fogler and his teammate,
Jimmy Moran. Rutt and Stol are not only
the favorltes in the betting, but the popu-
i9r favorftes rs well. On the other hand

LUZ n the Garden, his foul tactics last

Most of the sporting writer's and even
some OF the riders, including Bobby Wal
tlouf; are firm in the belief that the Ger
man-Holland pair will win. The team at
noon today was still tied for first place

repeated dashes. He is evidently trying

lost lap.
1t was during the course of this sprint
ing that the crowd. which packed the Gar
den, though the admission price had been
doubled, spent its wrath upon Fogler.
Breton had started another great squirt
and pulled Vanderstuyft with him. The
nllle Belgian then took up the pace,
streaking along the track until it seemed

ieast. Fogier finally pulled up on the fly

and. falling in that, it seemed that he de-

Two of Leaders Tapped.
AT : o'clock yesterday Krebs and Van
defstuyft and Georget and Dupre were
among the leaders, but their RELOCATION to
me second rank came a half-hour later.
Moran the willy bird of the pack, and Rutt,
strong and iusty, had been waiting for an
opportunity TO catch Krebs. The latter

what the cost, the pair never fiinched, but

the consequences.

crash and the flying racers flashed past
the prone Newark man. His downfall
brought the issue to an end. but Krebs
and his partner were among the de-
throned.
Krebs, however, claimed he had been
folled, and for that reason no lap should
be allowed. His appeal was in vain, and
the new rule served its purpose in giving
men a lap which they merited.
Besides Krebs and Vanderstuyft drop

Georget and Dupre also fell from grace,
while Lawson and Macdonald, who had
been two laps behind. became three laps
in the rear. and Breton and Van0ni from
being a lap to the bad joined Lawson and
Macdonald on the three lap mark.
Some two hours later Krebs made a
dash to retrieve his %laurels, but his effort
proved futile. as Stol, who had relieved
Rutt. and Fogler, who had taken Moran's
place, hung on to his back wheel like
leeches. In this dash the only sufferer
was Van1ni, who dropped his third lap

made the latter pair four laps to the bad.
They lost two more within another hour.
