ever, finishing first in place and time
after magnificent struggle. Gil
bent secured second place and third
time.
Glen Walker made fourth place.
He was pitted against Joe Bergerson
OF Aspen for Il considerable distance
and that young gentleman had II
few friends in an auto which paced
him for several miles. This certain
ly robbed Walker of third place,
which went to the Aspen entry. He
was the l1-minute man, leaving the
mark first.
Bergerson riding was open to
the severest condemnation in every
way. Olin Sheets. who was fourth
man to leave. overlook him after
little more than a mile, and seeing
the local boy was about to pass him.
Bergerson deliberately ran into him
and threw him from his wheel.
Sheets landed on pile of rocks
with terrific force, causing severe
scalp wound. Several stitches were
required to close the abrasion Sheets
was brought in by farmer n few
moment after the accident and
reached the starting point before
all the riders had left. He was at
tended by-a Basalt physician. Sheets
was starting out in great shape and
would .,haye made n strong show for
FIRST place and possibly inside the
time money as well.
Walter Allison was the fifth rider
in at the finish and the eighth in
time. Myron Camel was sixth to
i finish and seventh in time.
The only rider outside of Grand
the judging was Bergerson of Aspen,
who finished third. He was openly
criticized all over the city yesterday
afternoon and evening for his un-
sportsmanlike tactics in colliding
with Sheets and using a PAGER to
beat Walker out for place.
The time made was poor and did
not closely approach the best time
for the course. This was the result
of the accidents to Chapman and
Rhone, who would have made fast
time. II they had been able to ride
under favorable conditions.
