Told you the champ" would finish.
Up to now our own Frank looks like
the one best bet. When a man as
through four days of this grind and
has enough vitality to kid the other
riders while on the track and knowing
the kind of sprint he has he looks like
a mighty good betting proposition, does
he not? Well, l should remark.
They are breaking the record with
more or less regularity. When the last
record was made for the whole race
in 1908 there were such teams as Rutt
and Stoll and MacFarland and Moran
to hit it up. Although two of the for
eign teams were Tapped it is due to
their efforts to a considerable extent
that the pace Is so fast.
That little gamester Wiley rode for
more thar twenty-four hours with a
very bad knee. He was advised and
urged to quit, but who ever saw him
quit?
Finally, Mr.. Powers realizing the

the other riders induced him and Calvin
to retire, promising to take care of
them as though they had finished.
Martin Sheridan, the great athlete,
was an interested spectator of the
grind last night. Many who had been
there for hpufls watched him with as
much interesfias the race.
At 7:40 last night after q series of
sprints taken up by a number of rid
ers, Kramer showed his calibre by
starting out after the lull at such a
terrific pace hat In the first jump he
had the field strung out over half the
length of the track. After three laps
he was relieved by Moran. Cameron
then threw a tire, putting a stop to
a jam that threatened to lap several
teams.
After a little confab by Pye and Hill
while both were on the track these two
ambitious young gentlemen started q
jam" that surely stirred up the mon
keys. This was put a stop to when
Moran punctured.
The most exciting Jam" of the eve
ming started shortly after II o'clock
last night. Stein started the trouble
He was quickly passed by Moran,
with Fogler on. Clarke relieved his
partner from the front, making a beau
tiful pickup. Moran was relieved by
Kramer, who with Clarke, went out at
a dizzy speed, changing pace at every
half lap until Lapize and Van Hou-
waert were Tapped for the second time
in the race. Just then Calvin fell and
put a stop to the excitement.
Calvin complained that Stein knocked

of 1t as the fans. When the bugs who
stay until chased take up the refrain OF
a popular song, either whistling or sing

his read and hand as he passes the sing
ers on his wheel.
After a lull Of four hours a sprint was
started by Hill. 1t seemed that he would
regain the lost lap all by himself. having

That Stein person is funny. Every

and he insists on having a doctor i'm

sure to go out and start a sprint just
to show how sick he is.
He has also elaborated a set of sig

track when he is riding. When he
wants something he whistles the first

The next time he makes a face. The
trainers give him what they think Is

that his signal is understood.

I am going to repeat simply for EN-
phasis that, barring accidents, the champ

a contender in a race Of this kind. A
large number thought he did not intend
to finish. His presence has surely added
something to the race.
