Bill Bailey gave us a great race
yesterday and he showed us the best
he had in him. He won heat and he
lost a heat and then he came out in
the third heat and beat Donald Nc
Dougall in the greatest ride ever
seen in a sprint match race at the
Velodrome track. For more than a
profession in two countries pedaled
like mad for supremacy. For nearly
the entire journey the advantage was
with McDougall, the American, yet
right at the end Bailey, the English
man, won out. 1t was such wonder
full exhibition that the 49, 500 specta-
tors went wild with delight, and sell
dom have such scenes marked a cycling
occasion. The race was a grand one
from every angle, but the third heat
was one of the greatest in cycling
history.
The outcome of the first heat left
the fans in much doubt as to who
would have won if McDougall had
not made a most deliberate effort to
switch Bailey coming into the home
stretch. His work was so coarse,
however that he made the sailing
rather easy for his opponent, who
came in on the pole while Nc
Dougall was running to the top of
the bank. Some smart Aleck''
advised Donald, it is said, to
do the switching, but he would have
lost anyway, for the sometimes very
lienient Referee Ross would never
have allowed him to get away with
such brutal exhibition of foul
work. In the second heat Donald
also did some high riding coming into
the stretch and he won, but really
he should have been disqualified, for
Baileys chances were badly ham,
pered. The visitor was beaten by
inches only and he came fast up the
stretch. With a good fair race he
would have won beyond doubt. So
much for the first two heats.
o
Those who saw the third heat will
always recall it when cycling Is the
topic. Bailey, mad and determined.
came out for the start with blood in
his eye. He was up to something, IL
could plainly be seen, and instead of
following Donald when the pacemaker
drew out of the affair, Bailey made
bid, with a lap and some more to
go, to get to the front. He couldn't
quite make it, for McDougall is some
quick jumper, and as a result the two
boys raced, just like a span of noble
horses, stride for stride, for the tape.
Bailey, on the outside. was up against
stiff proposition, and it looked as
if he could not endure the terrific
strain. In this he fooled everybody
and he displayed a gameness that Is
bound to make him popular here
Again in this heat McDougall was a
little careless in his course. He was
inclined to bear out and make it as
hard as possible for Bailey, but his
rough work wasn't as noticeable as In
the other heats. The heat was a
corker and Bill Bailey gets the stamI
of approval for his victory.
