Loses.

Elmer Collins, king of the motor
paced riders, was crowned with new
laurels last night at the Velodrome
when he established a new record by
covering A miles 6S6 yards in one hour
This record was two laps better than
the record, held by himself, which was
made At the Clifton track last yeai.
Collins when he finished was in good
shape. Had he been pressed, 1t is sure
he might have been able to cover a
! greater distance. Percy Lawrence,
who was second, was also ahead of the
record, although he finished six laps
behind Collins. Percy was a tired boy
when he wound up, and had to be
almost carried to his dressing-room.
Champion Frank Kramer was again
administered a defeat at the hands of
an Australian, but this time it was ALT
Goullet, and it happened in the one
mile open. This race was really a
''beaut," and saw the champion beaten
out by a wonderful burst of speed on
the home stretch. There is no question
| that Kramer is suffering as a result
of entertaining. lie IS Vit eifn. Al
though he seems to ride as fast or
faster than the others, when 1t comes
to the crucial moment he seems TO get
stranded. A couple OF weeks rest
would do him a great good. Goullet
back after his forced rest. was in grand
shape, and showed the good results of
a layoff. Frank Cavanagh inc Carl
Ericsson were the stars in the amateur
ranks. while Jumbo Wells had no
trouble in defeating Jay Eaton in two
straight heats in their one-mile match
race.
In the motor race the men got off to
a good start, with the exception of
Butler, who had to ride a lap and a
half before he could get going well.
Duer made a good pickup, but on the
second lap fell behind when he lost his
pace. Collins began his ride imme-
diately, and at one mile had Tapped
Butler. Keeping up a great speed, he
worked hard. and at two miles had the
others Tapped. Duer at the third mile
again lost his pace. The men had
covered ten minles In 13m. 45s.
When the men were coming in for
the nineteenth mile, Collins started his
work in earnest and called on his pace
maker to let out. He flew around the
saucer like a streak and at the half
hour had covered % miles. From here
on he rode rings around the others,
averaging 1877 to the mile, but the last
was covered in 1.12. Duer was further
handicapped toward the last of the race
by his motor going wrong. When a
new one was pl; ced on the track a new
puncture occurred after several miles
had been Travelled.

kept excellent control over him. Percy
Lawrence was paced by Hunter, while
Ruben had Duer.
The one-mile open for the profession
ais, despite the absence of Clarke, fur
nished good sport. Kramer, who was
looked upon to win easily, was only
second, while Joe Fogler also had to
content himself with Il place. In the
final heat there were twelve starters,
but the pace ives 50 fast that only
seven finished. The Bedell brothers
went out at the start and 1t looked as
though they might do a brotherly act.
They evidently changed their minds.
The champ" suspected trouble and
went to the front for n lap. Johnny
King then took II upon himself to carry
the bunch around and incidently gather
up the lap prize. He failed. for Kra-
mer again came to the front and for
almost two laps lead the bunch. Goul-
let, who was riding thic1. came from
his position and on the last turn sooe
around on even terms with the
champ In the home stretch he let
out and beat the champion in the last
few yards. Eddie Roo did not get in
to the final, owing to a fall, which was
caused by a switch" from Freddie
