finished easily a wheel and half
ahead.
While riding around after they fin
ished the two shook hands. Mrs. Clarke
seemed to take the defeat hard
There was no doubt stuff to stir up
an argument among the spectators as
was evidenced last week, when Kramer
crept up on Clarke when they battled
on the stretch and then used his final
squirt just as they crossed the tape.
That was three-inch difference, but
yesterday il was not the same kind cf
q hair raising finish. 1t seemed to those
close to the finish mark last week that
Kramer must have lost his knowledge
of the track he knows so well after
his long familiarity with It,
Hehir's Record.
The record of 81 40 seconds for one
third of mile was broken by p. OSul-
livan Hehir in the second heat. The
previous best time for the distance
was 81 3-5. 1t was a pretty heat from
the speed standpoint and Hehir had a
hard race to make from scratch, which
was the cause of him going fast after
the head men.
Frank Blatz, amateur champion,
captured the pursuit race in fine
style, doing steady plugging while the
others tried to do too much sprinting.
AT two miles Kjeldson, Ericsson and
Blatz We're on the track and the three
maintained an even pace, but Blatz
was seen to be the master when it
came to judgment Ericsson caught
Kjeldson after going three miles and
three laps. Blatz went after him hard
after this having enough reserve for
capital sprint. Coming in on the
stretch. after travelling four miles and
three laps, he went past his man.
There were sixteen starters in the
two-mlle invitation for "pros,' the
| field making a pretty spectacle when
| stretched out in train-like fashion.
| Willie Coburn made the effort to get
ahead of the field with three laps to
go, but he wasn't equal to the occa-
sion. Fred Mccarthy, of the wabbling
! spirit started hard sprint when
nearing the finish, but he could not
keep it up, and Menus Bedell, with
Jake Magin close by, shot past him
Mccarthy got third money, and Philip
Wright and Teddy Ellington were
fourth and fifth men, respectively.
Interest Jagged in the two-mlle fol
amateurs because the leaders were
given quite a handicap, but at that
the men near scratch did not speed
fast enough to get in the fighting. Bert
Coen, from East Orange, won the
event from 230 yards, with Walter
Pofahl. of the Bay View Wheelmen
second. As the leaders were never
headed the fans did not stir up the
necessary enthusiasm.
There were forty-four riders in thu
1ye-mile for pros and two spills en-
livened proceedings. Jake Magir
started out for one of the lap prizes
but wavered in his course and wen
down with Tom Smith. Mccarthy got
in bad, too, just before the final dash
and went down with company but nj
one was hurt. Root was pocketet
prettily during the race but got ou
| in time and then sat up when 1t camt
TO the ending. Hehir went across the
line first, closely followed in order by
