CLARKE RUNS AWAY FROM
KRAMER In SMILE MATCH
Owing to Champions Insisting Upon Using Light
Tires There We're Many PunCtureS and Race
Was Really Only Four Miles.

MacFarland, who acted the part Of a
tired man, forged to the front and
pulled the express around at a merry
clip.
Freddie Hill. whose turn 1t was to
pace a bit, seemed to hold back, but
David Mackey shot out and made up
the distance. The boys were now fight
ing hard for position and going around
the track in daring style, Clarke was
in fourth place on the last turf around
when Fem cut right across the track
and hemmed him in.
This made little difference. for when
the men seemed to pull away from the
Rocket" they left an opening and he
came through with Fogler ON his wheel
and won by almost an open length
from the second man. MacFarland
must be given credit for his great ride
In this race. for it was mainly through
his willingness to pull that the fast
boys were able to get up to those who
were continually willing to make a
runaway race of the affair.
Worth L. Mitten showed in true
form and won the two-third mile pro-
fessional handicap with a wonderful
burst of speed.

race and captured the one-mile anna
teur handicap. Cavanagh and LOTUS,
who rode from scratch, waited TO make
a ~grandstand finish, but were left. the
former getting second, while the latter
received the fourth place prize.
The fve-mile open amateur. with
fifty-four starters, was such a gruelling
affair that at the finish there We're but
twenty men left. Several spills put out
some of the riders, but most quit on
account of the fast pace. Alvin LOTUS.
who always makes a strong finish when
in a hard race, was the winner. Cav
anagh was second. sitting up.
Daredevil Jimmy Hunter got away
