SIGNALS caused much ~wrangling because !
of the poor manner In which the men
were handicapped. Cavanagh and An
derson refused to ride unless the big
gap between them and some of the
other men was lessened. There was
only $40 for the winner, and Cayanagh
could not see his way clear to ride his
head Off forSthis mount. He was JUS
titled in his actions.
The race was what might have been
expected. The limit men got together
and just beat 1t. The back-markers
failed to work together and the result
was that the limit men gathered In the
shekels.
The ten-mile motor pace race between
Ernie A. Pye. of Australia, and George
Wiley was classy. Pye just reeled off
mile after mile under the careful guild
ance of Jimmy Hunter, and pulled in an
easy winner. Wiley was forced to change
his wheels on account of a puncture

derfA. The men started on opposite
sides of the track, Grenda at the grand
stand and Drobach at the twelfth pole.
Peter left his mark quickly and before
three laps had been covered had gained
about fifty yards on Grenda. The Aus
tralian looked back and saw Drobach
making for him. He hit up his pace,
which was a mighty even one, and after
several laps made up the distance. Then
he settled down to a steady grind, and
at four miles and three laps overlook
Drobach. The time for the distance was
really wonderful.
The half-mile handicap amateur was a
bear for the simon-pures. The limit men
| got away and refused to be overhauled.
Donald MacDougall won his heat with
apparent ease. Frank Blatz, the anna
teur champion, received a rough ride and
was unable to qualify. The final brought
two of. the long-markers to the front,
with the Western road rider, Norgauer.
It's too bad that we cannot keep Nor

it warm for some"of the boys that work
for clothing.
The two-mile open for the amateurs
I was a race replete with sprints. The new
riders seem to take delight In getting in
front and then just hammering away.
The pace maintained was mighty fast.
