Over the Record
In the Bike Race

New York, Dec. "a series of spills
tonight robbed Rutt and Clark and
Root and Fogler of two hard earned
laps and slowed down the pace of the
6-day bicycle race at Madison Square
Garden. Under the rules lap four
fifths won goes for naught in spill;
it must be a full lap to count. But
there is always a chance for dis
tanced tail ender to rob the leaders by
a deliberate fall and there were cries
tonight of "Fakihr' when the tumbles
happened too opportunity to please the
crowd.
At 10 o'clock the sprinters had ap>
parently given up in despair trying
to gain distance and the score stood
1888 miles for the leaders, as against
1888 year ago. At 1890 there was
a bad collision directly in front of the
judges stand. Pye, Walthour and West
all went dewn in a heap. West was
badly cut about the head and had sew
eral Of his teeth knocked out, but
pluckily got up again and rushed into
the race.
Five minutes later Clark of the re-
constructed team of Clark-Rutt shot
out from the bunch in furious sprint
which lasted six minutes. When the
riders strung out again it was found
that the judges had awarded Clark
and Rutt the lap they lost as penal
ty for combining.
Hardly had the riders rested from
the last sprint when another team, this
time Stein and Hill, made dash for
lost lap. They got it and at II o'clock
the score stood:
Root-Fogler, Lawson-Demara, Wal
thour-Collins, Halstead Lawrence.
Pye-Hehir, Eill-Stein. Rutt-Clark,
1S51.7; Mitten-West. Cameron Krebs,

Dedel Loose, seaman, admit that
their reason for making the affidavits
known to the public was that the ex-
plorer only paid them $500 for their
work.
Commodore Novgaard, the noted ex
plorer, and Prof. Olufsen, secretary of
the Danish Geographical Society, also
discredit the accusations against Dr.
Cook.
