Lindsey, who has fought the

Arnold and other candidates on
the citizens ticket are pledged to
resign if the commission form of
government is adopted.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Jumbo
Wells, of the Australian team, had a
narrow escape from serious injury in
the six day race at Madison Square
Garden late this afternoon. A pune
fured tire threw him from his wheel
at dead mans curve, on the TWEEN
ty-sixth street and Madison avenue
corner. directly in front OF Hehir of
the Melbourne team. Both were
thrown in a heap, and 1t was more
good fortune than anything else that
saved them from injury.
The men were picked up and quick
ly examined. 1t was found that neither
had sustained any serious hurts.
The terrific pace maintained by the
riders this year, which has put them
many miles ahead of the record, is
almost too good to last They al
ready show the strain and are more
willing to ride slower. The reason
for the increase In speed and smash
ing Of all previous records so far is
undoubtedly the construction of the
track itself. Heretofore. the boards
have been placed in position with
the rough finish up. This year the
dressed face of the lumber is what
the men are riding over. Then, too.
the banking of the two curves has
been increased so that In order to
maintain their balance the men have
to speed into them al a greater rate.
Continual sprinting tonight, from
practically s o'clock on, kept the
large audience on its feet almost con-
