SIX-DAY RACERS
LEAD RECORD
FIVE MILES


New York Dec. 10.-Walter Rutt and
Jack Clarke, the. newly formed com
bination. gave one of the greatest ex-
hibftions of sprinting ever seen in the
six-day race yesterday at Madison
Square Garden when they regained the
coveted lap that stood between them
and the first five leading teams. This
pait of riders is the best that ever
circled the ten-lap circle at this arena.
In it's wild dash for that 1Ts yards
that separated it from first money 1t
gave the greatest exhibition of team
work ever seen. For relieving each
other and taking the up the pace at
the psychological second the men were
simply marvellous.
There is no team in the race that is
going to beat the Rutt-Clarke combin-
alton unless some accident robs them
of their possible advantage They are
on the track to win first money, and
how any rider. or riders, is going to
beat them is a mystery. The great
sprint that can hardly ever be beaten
in any six day event started at 1898
and for six minutes the pink jacket
of Clarke and the blue and white
sweater of Rut resembled streak Of
lightning as they flew around and cut
down their disadvantage.
IN this wild scramble the Georgets
lost two laps, which keeps them in
eleventh position. Immediately after
the gain of Rutt and Clarke the Hill
stein combination put on a whirlwind
burst and gained the lap that ptu them
in the same division with the leaders.
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Rutt had almost regained his lap
when Demara took fall In fall at
1890 West was thrown and had sew
eral teeth knocked out.
