That was the winning move. Kra-
mer's bid was fruitless and Clarke
appeared content to struggle in third.
&C
Judging by the interest displayed
by the fans throughout the tandem
paced race this old-time style of
cycling is destined to become popular
at the Velodrome. The contestants
were Elmer Collins, who won the
race; Percy Lawrence, who finished
second, and Clarence Carmen, who
was third. Each man had three tam
dem pacemakers and the best man
with the best pace won. The grind
was a gruelling one, particularly on
the PAGERS, and few laps before the
finish both Collins and Lawrence were
slowed up to such an extent that
Carmen, who had lost lap, made it
up again. THE pacemakers loafed
until sprinting time came, and then
Fogler and Hehir with Collins on,
went to the front and won as they
pleased Lawrence, the real conten-
der, dropped his pacemakers and took
a free ride behind Collins. Carmen
was a hopeless third.
The tactics of Collins and Law
renee in allowing Carmen to regain
his lost lap rather amazed the spec
tators, but the riders, apparently.
knew what they were doing. Col
lins's pacemakers had been doing
most of the hard work out in front
and Fogler and Hehir, who were the
ones to finish with Collins, didn't feel
inclined to ride themselves out and
have their man beaten in the final
dash. Lawrence's 'teamies' evil
IDENTIFY felt the same way Nabout it,
and the Bede1l brothers, for Carmen,
took advantage of the situation, and
raced their heads off, figuratively,
but to no avail. Three tandems for
each contestant Is hardly sufficient in
race of ten miles. The distance
should either be shortened or the
amount Of pace increased.

The finish in the half-mile pro ham
dicap gave Nthe judges something to
study over. Fred Hill, with. ten
yards, caught the eye of the official;
Gordon Walker, with twenty yards,
got second, and Pye. who came tear
ing down the stretch like lightning
and to some appeared to have won,
was placed third; Hehir was fourth
and Floyd Krebs fifth. Hill, Walker
and Hehir appeared to be friendly
in the race, but their work was too
slick for even the eagle eye of Ref
cree Ross. Pye said afterward that
he was anxious to win, and thought
he had won, more to upset the conn
bination" than for the prize money
involved.
Eddie Root put up hard ride in
the two-mile invitation and finished
first, followed by the familiar Bedell
brothers in second and third posi-
lions. Krebs was fourth and Diefen-
bacher fifth.
Off in the lead, Donald MacDougall
easily captured the quarter-mile am
ateur dash. The contender was
William Hanley, with Chester
Smith third and Thomas Smith
fourth. The amateur handicap
brought to light Fred Weber, no
yard man, as the winner. George
PAUL. was second, MacDougall third
and Fred Whitney fourth--MacDou-
CALLS race was a very poor one for
him. He seemed to have the speed,
but not the spirit. G. Smith took the
novice race, with H. Weidner second.
