BIKE RIDERS LOSE
TEMPER AND SPEED
AT SIX-DAY RACE
Spectators Displeased at Tactics of
Riders and Volley of
Jeers Follows.

New York. Dec. 12.-FeelinG the ef-
fects of the grucling grind as 1t nears
its final stage, the six-day bicycle riders
at Madison Square Garden to-day lost
their good temper and much of their
speed. enraged the spectators by their
stacking efforts, and series of riots
was the result.
On the plea that the track was too
fast the riders again came down on the
saucer and for more than an hour rode
around the level floor, repeating the bur
lcsque of yesterday. They declared a
speed of seventeen miles an hour was
necessary to keep on the incline.
This displeaSed the spectators, many OF
whom have been in the garden praCti-
Calfy since the race started 4 volley
of jcers followed the riders around the
track. finally forcing them to mount tn"
saucer again and resume the killing
pace. By this time they had dropped
behind the best previous record.
During a sprint that lasted eighteen
miles Grenda apparently showed Ryan
aside. As Clarke. Thomas, Cameron,
Berthet, and Folger rode over and were
pitched from their wheels, a man in a
box let a beer bottle fly At Grenda. The
bottle missed the riders head by only
a few inches and crashed TO pieces on a
handIe-bar. When a policeman attempt
ed to arrest the spectator a riot ensued
in which several policemen were badly
beaten.
The crowd continued to boot Grenda
until the management explained that he
had thrown Ryan accidentally.

President Ebbets has purchased the

Louis to a wealthy society girl and a
few DAYS afterward announced that he
had retired from the diamond. He may,
however, change his mind. now that he
has a chance TO shine in the major
