and smaller became the lead of Clarke.
With a final burst Frank tried TO breast
out his tired little opponent, but failed.
Had the tape been two yards further ne
would have succeeded, but as 1t was ne
was beaten by six inches.
Clarence Carmen, the plucky rider VINO
trimmed Percy Lawrence a couple OF weeks
In the half-mile championship, was
there TO try again for the second leg, put
all the wise ones figured that his other ride
was but a flash in the pan. And how they
were fooled,
Trapped in his heat and again in his
semi-final, GARNER cut down on the inside
like a frightened rabbit and scampered
home each time a winner Lawrence was
too speedy for the men in his heats, and
won with ease. Jake Magin waited too
long and wasn't there for the semi.
In the final, Carmen got off first, but
while rounding a turn on the second lap
was forced into a trap. There Is one thlng
this boy has, and that is a plentiful amount
of gray matter, and in this crisis he didn't
forget TO use it. Poking his head this
way and that IN a vain effort to find an
opening to set through, he fnally declueq
there was but one thing. He lust went
on the inside of the POLICEMAN like a f1ash.
Lawrence saw him and came through on
the outside, and then they settled Town for
their final sprint, leaving the others with
ridiculous ease. Try as he might, Law.
renee was unable to match the speed OF
Carmen, who steadily pulled ahead and
crossed the line a length to the good. me
crowd gave him Il great ovation for his
wonderful riding and showed its apprecla-
ton of his modest manner.
A limit man, John Hawkins, with 100
yards, won the three-mile amateur handi-
cap, but it was like handing a present to
The back men wouldn't do any Work
in getting up on the limit men, leaving 1t
all to Carmen, who tired and quit in the
last lap. Then Jake Magin started out, bit
1t was too late, and he was beaten by a
foot, in turn defeating Lawrence by a
length.
Riding one of the best races of his long
career, Jimmy Moran, the Chelsea milk
man, hung ii oh Elmer Collins IN their
m~otor-paeed race. Moran took
a lead of forty yards at the start and held
it to the end, increasing II to two laps in
the last two miles, when Collins lost his
pace.
Collins worked his pipe-stem legs ike
mad in a continual series of sprints to
pass his sturdy opponent, but the latter
shock him off all the way through. Had
nights race been on a track built for
motor-pacing the time would come near to
the American record, as these two
men are probably the gamest of motor
followers in this country, and this, coupled
with their fine condition, made the event a
gleat exhibition.
Moran was jubilant after the race, and,
with Floyd MacFarland, who was
rounding into his second childhood when
he suffered an accident, was doing a war;
dance after the race.
