[From a STAFF Correspondent. ]


NEW YORK, Dec 11.-Six-day bicy-
clio fans were asleep generally today at
o'clock when the leading riders ps-
corded 3f0 miles and one lap, five miles
and one lap behind the worlds record
The band began to play just at
o'clock, and Frank Cavanaugh, who
was sleeping on his wheel, woke~ up,
only to fall from his seat. The New
arker got black eye for his neglect
in not keeping awake
Frank Kramer, the national sprint
champion, was doing his share of the
work OF the Moran Kramer team, but
the East Orange boy looked tired and
it did not seem like a bad bet he would
not last out the week. The Wiley-Gal-
vim and Cavanagh Ryan teams were
one lap behind the leaders.
Several wild sprints just before day
light failed to give any team an advan-
tage in the six-day race at Madison
Square Garden, and the score at
o'clock today was 1873 miles and laps
for all, less than two miles behind the
record of 1856 miles 5 laps, established
by P. OSuluvan Hehir and Alf Goullet
last wear. Two hours earlier success
sion of sprints had left the riders
ahead of the sixth hour record. The
tally at that time was 141 miles laps,
but an hour later the weary contest
ants settled down to the grind usual
lust before dawn, and which lasts, gen
orally, until the attendance picks up
later in the day.
AS result of a wild sprint just be-
fore IL o'clock, which lasted eight min
utes, two teams lost one lap each, While
Lorenz and John Bedell got bad spill,
but were able to resume few minutes
later. The team which lost lap are
RYAN and Cavanagh and Wiley and
Calvin. - -e'A
The eleventh-hour figures showed
thirteen teams with 247 miles and
laps, with Wiley and Calvin and Ryan
and Cavanagh 247 miles and laps
The record for the eleventh hour is
251 miles and lap, made last year.
Nearly four thousand persons out of
some twelve thousand that saw the race
begin stayed in their seats all night ana
just before 6 o'clock were rewarded py
the most exciting sprint of the race
thus far. Fred HILL of Boston, began
1t and carried the field along at terri
fc cf1p until he had gained half lap.
Then mis- partner, Root, relieved HIM;
but Lorenz and Saldow, the German
team, were equal to the call, and after
a three-mile chase the sprint ended
with all teams on equal terms.
The score for the first hour was "a
miles and 6 laps, with Georget leading,
The old record is 25 miles laps, made
by Anderson and Vanoni in 1909.
During the running of the ninth mile
four riders went down in a heap, but
none was injured. Lap e, of France,
in relieving his partner, Van Houwaert,
was responsible for the mix-up In
which George Wiley, of Syracuse, and
Joe Fogler were thrown.
At o'clock, the end of the second
hour. the punched riders led at that
time by Georget, had reeled off As miles
and 1 lap. The record for the second
hour is so miles l lap, made by La
froncade and Faber in 1908
At S o'clock all fifteen teams had
completed 11S miles laps. a mile ard
a lap behind Demora and Hills record
of 1908.
Fifteen riders, representing as many
cams, started the race at 1901 o'clock
this morning. There was a yell from
the big crowd which filled the ball
comics of the big amphitheatre as the
starting signal was given and the rid
ers broke away on their first circuit
of the ten-lap- to- the-mile saucer track
on which the incessant round of the
contestants will be kept up until few
rnofnen - before 10 o'clock next satur-
day nisht. --.-.--..-- -...-.
