in overhauling Walter Raleigh, a New
York A. c. rider, with an allowance OF
forty yards. They then took turns In
pacing and caught the leaders four laps
from home. Goodwin rode round the
bunch and took the lead on the turn. but
Raleigh was less fortunate and IN a trice
he and Franklin Fisher went TO the
boards with a crash.
Harry Bacon, the trainer. rushed In 10

further disaster, but as he was dragging

himself and sent spinning In another
mix-up OF bicycles and men. That left

who had started on the 13o-yard mark
II looked like certainty then that Good
win and Kane would finish first and sec
ond respectively and the disabled riders
began hustling 10 remount in an endeayor
to get third prize.
Raleigh reached his wheel first, but
found II out OF commission. and while he
was looking FOR another Fisher got In
motion. only one pedal was In good
| working order. but Fisher managed to
beat Raleigh. who secured good wheel
few seconds too late. Then, to cap the
| climax. Kane, who had been trailing
| Goodwin, jumped the champion right at
the tape. The armory record Is 400 80,
and Kane won in 4:53 l-5. Goodwin was
practically on even terms with Kane. so
that the former really broke the record
