AUSTRALIANS STAR
At DROME RACES
Mcnamara and Speers Shine in
the Feature Events at
the Stadium.
KAISER LANDS PURSUIT

The Australian professionals again
starred at the Motordrome last night
Reggie Mcnamara won the two-laI
handicap and finished second to Boil
Spears in the forty-lap handicap, anC
Frank Cory accounted for the ten
lap "miss-and out race, the trio Of
foreigners making a clean sweep oi
the events, in which single wheels
were used. In the multi-cycle race
the Australians, mounted on triplet
finished third. The amateur pursuit
race went trihe less than twelve
miles, which is the greatest distance
ever covered in a race of this nature
for amateurs in this city Harry
Kaiser. of New York was the ulti-
mate winner and Ernest Ohrt, of Cali
fornia, was second The New York
rider was in fine form and won the
fifteen-lap handicap, also.
1t was Ladies' night" and the fair
fans turned out in such goodly num-
bers that a special night of this sort
viii probably be observed frequently
In the forty-lap race Mcnamara APP
peared to suffer, as a result of the de-
cision of the judges. To those oppo-
site the tape in the stand Spears and
his. countryman apparently flashed
across the tape in a dead heat. The
race was fast from the start and old
Jay Eaton and Willie Coburn, who
were chasing the dolar-lap prizes,
made most of the pace On the last
lap Mcnamara, Spears and Menus Be-
dell swung into the lead, with McNa-
mara in front and tearing for home
Spears never made a move until five
yards from the tape. When he came
out he came fast and his flight of
speed evidently attracted the judges,
who momentarily lost sight of McNa-
mara. Bedell was third.
Spears failed to make the final of
the two-lap handicap, in which he
was the victim of a rough ride by
Frank Blatz. Mcnamara rode a great
race. starting at the gun and never
faltering until he crossed the tape a.
winner. Fred Hill and Eddie Root,
Namara, had a sleigh ride for the
full distance, but neither of the Yam
KEGS could come out on the Australian
i'm the sprint. Hill was second and
Root third, with Blatz riding into
fourth place.
The unlimited pursuit race for anna
teurs brought out Gus Wohlrab,
Tommy Smith. Willie Hanley, c. B.
Georgi and Kaiser and Ohrt in the
final. Hanley was the first rider elm
mated. Ohrt, his clubmate from Cali
fornia, put him out in short order
Cieorgi passed Wohlrab on the eighth
lap, and at ten laps Ohrt eliminated
Smith, and at the same time Kaiser
passed Georgi out of the running.
This left Ohrt and Kaiser the sole
competitors for first and second
places.
The pair from the extreme ends
OF the country were on even terms
when the race narrowedNdown to a
duel. Ohrt sprinted after three laps
had been covered without any per-
ceptible gain by either rider, and
drew up thirty yards nearer the New
l.
and Kaiser gained until they were
again on even terms. The Califor-
Man lost ground gradually and after
covering eleven and fraction miles,
Kaiser ended the contest by passing
the game youngster from the west
Kaiser put up a sterling ride in the
handicap, which he won from scratch,
with Georgi second and Smith third
The multicycle race was won by
Hill, Root and Paul Heidrick on a
triplet with Joe Kopski and Marcel
Dupois second, mounted on a tandem
and MacNamara, Spears and Cory
third on a triplet.. A quad finished
fourth and the seXtette was unplaced.
