An alteration on the track between
Jake Magin an Johnny Bedell emily.
ened the racing. The interference OF
the other riders prevented fistic bait
tie between the pair, but not until
they had gone to the track locked in
each others arms.
The trouble developed in the final
heat of the professional championship
race. Magin fell on the track when
about 100 yards from the finish line,
and his trouble caused Bedell, Percy
Lawrence and Eddie Rupprecht to so
down, too Magin charged that Be-
| dell had caused the spill by foul tac-
| tics, and as soon as he freed himself
| from his wheel, he made a rush at the
Long Island rider. Magin missed and
| Beddell grabbed him, both going TO
the boards. Magin made three more
attempts to get at his rival, but each
time he was restrained. Magin was
so enraged that he finally picked up 2
stone. Attendants and trainers took
it away from him, however. No PEN
! alties were imposed by the judges for
| the disorderly conduct.
