The speed shown by Kramer and
Friol as they started their final eff
fort was truly marvellous, and they
left the rest of the teams appar-
emily standing still. The final would
have been theirs without a doubt
had they been spared the misfortune.
The final of the race was a walk

Moran's Great Uphill Work..
The first heat of the motor-paced
trials for the championship final,
which will be run Wednesday, re-
suited in an easy victory for Elmer
Collins, who finished two laps ahead
of Wiley. Ernie Pye, of Australia,
dropped out of the heat at six and a
half miles, and John Bedell quit lust
before the twentieth mile.
The second heat was a great con-
test, and was in doubt right up to
the last lap of the race, which was at
t~hirty-one and a quarter miles. Moran
and Carmen started to battle right

rode a game race and Moran's riding
was the finest exhibition of grit and
determination ever seer on a bike
track in this country. His attack
from behind was cruel and relentless

but Bedell was content to coast into
second position, half a lap to the
rear. By Moran's showing in this
heat he will be a big favorite for the
championship.
Van Beber, the sprint champion,
rode in the half-mile open for pro-
fe~ssionals, and although he failed to
make the final he put up a good ride
in his heat and. will be a far more
dangerous competitor by Wednesday.
Van Beber's lack of experience on a
small track kept him from winning
his heat. He showed plenty of speed
and a great jump, but he lost by
going too high on the Mum avenue
turn. This race was won by Kramer
with DeMara second. Grenda was
not in the final. being put out by a
fall in the first heat.
