10 o'clock last night. when Gordon
Walker, OF the Tasnanian team, and
Frank Cory. of the Mutt and jeff
combination, mated up, with the r.
sulting penalisation OF q lap. The
formation of the new team was neces=
STATED by the withdrawal OF Ernie
Pye and John Bedell, the respective
partners. Pye banged his knees in
the spill with Hehir and Fogler. and
was unable to keep up the pace there
after. Bedell's retirement was the re-
suit of stomach trouble. The Long

The pace-setting EFFORTS of Kopshy
and Keefe toward record breaking in
the early hours of the race made
great inroads on their strength. At
7:45 last night the cyclists shot OF
on the first disastrous jam Of tl1a
race. ALI Grenda, OF the Grenda-
Moran team, came down from the
Madison avenue bank and led the
chase that continued for twelve inih-

ilarly. From the appearance OF these
two riders the bandage equipment OF
the training camp hospitals must be
severely taxed.

while for the drowsy ones during the
early morning. Tomorrow will mark
the annual house cleaning OF the Gar

night will be ousted.
Between and o'clock the riders
circled high on the track and received

steady pace. Carmen found 1t SO slow
that he fell off his wheel.
Frank Kramer may ride In the six
day race abroad. When asked he said
that he did not know whether or not
he would compete in the big grind
over the pond. ut all depends" were
his words.
