IN ROUGH FINISH

. Rides Him Into Fence at
Boston.
EDDIE ROOT ALSO HURT

In one of the toughest six-day races
ever ridden in Boston-and there have
been some rough ones ridden in that
city-the team of Joe Fogler and liver
Lawson won out in the final sprint on
Saturday night. The Eddie Root and
Reggie Mcnamara combination fin
ished second and Percy Lawrence
and Jake Magin ran third. In the
final run-off five teams were tied; the
Collins and Hill and Cavanagh and
Moran teams finished fourth and fifth,
respectively One lap back of the
leaders the Grenda-Carmen and the
Ryan-Corry teams were tied for
sixth place, and in the finishing
sprint, with Grenda and Ryan doing
the sprinting,. the Grenda-C Carmen
team won out In an easy manner.
Three spirits were necessary before
the final result was settled to the sat
isfaction of the referee. In the first
try 1Ver Lawson, who was chosen to
do the sprinting for the Lawson Fog
Ter team, tried to go seven laps In
front. Realizing his mistake and see
Ing that he would be beaten by Eddie
Root and Fred Hill, who started to
go around the Swede when the latter
started to tire, Lawson deliberately
ran Root and Hill into the fence. In
the spill that followed both Root and
Hill received injuries that were pain
full, Hill being the most seriously hurt
of the two. The WATERFOWL Mass)
rider suffered a fractured skull and
other decorations to his head and body
Lawson Is Punished.
Lawson was disqualified by the
referee. suspended indefinitely and
fined $500 and the tie was ordered to
be reridden. On the second attempt
Fogler, Lawson's teammate, was al
lowed to ride in the Swede's place.
Frank Cavanagh, the local star, who
had Jimmy Moran for q mate, bolted
early and assumed O. commanding
lead that would have won for him,
but Mcnamara pulled his foot out of
the pedal and the referee ordered the
race run q third time.
After a long delay the finishing
riders again took to the track for
what proved to be the deciding ride.
This time, as in the previous ride,
Cavanagh again started long sprint,
but weakened when Mcnamara start
ed by him. The Australian looked like
winner two laps from home, but
he, too, weakened in the last lap and
the Brooklyn terror Fogler, whizzed
by him and won. Lawrence. who was
following Fogler, also tried to go by
Mcnamara, but the latter reached
out, caught Lawrence by the racing
Jersey and, pulling him back, man.
aged to beat the San Francisco cyclist
out for second money.
Mcnamara Gets Away with 1t.
Not q bit of attention was paid to
the protest of Lawrence against the
trick of McNamara's, and the Aus
tralian was allowed to get away with
1t, and the act was so plain every
one noticed 1t. Elmer Collins, who
was forced to finish for his team after
Hill was so badly injured, followed
Lawrence across the tape for fourth
place, while Frank Cavanagh, the
rider who was picked to do great
things, rode off the track, claiming
he had a puncture, he finishing fifth.
ALI Grenda and Martin Ryan then
were called upon to decide the tie for
sixth place. Grenda, as was to be ex-
pected, had an easy tine to beat the
Newark Irishman for the honors. The
distance covered by the leaders was
1859 miles and laps, while the Gren-
da- Carmen and the Ryan-C Cory teams
were one lap back of the leaders. One
team was forced out on the last day,
the unfortunate ones being Joe Kop-
sky and Fred I<eefe, who had the
euphonious title of boob team
pinned to them. Keefe in one of his
numerous falls suffered q fractured
collarbone and had to withdraw Just
before the race was drawn to a close.
Notes of the Riders.
Two kilograms were received by
Fred Hills wife yesterday. The first
said that Fred had been seriously
injured, and the second that he had
had slight fall and that after rest
ing for a few days he would return
to his home. The latest information
from Boston states that he has a
fractured skull and other painful la
cerations to his head and body. and
the chances are that he will be con-
fined to his bed for few weeks at
least.

ceived from George Wiley, the SYRIA
