Sprint.

with EFFORTS apparently unUrtng,
the six-day riders at Madison Square
Garden went through night marked
by terrific sprinting. At an early
hour this morning ten teams formed
4 the first division of riders, who at
tackled the former figures with a ven-
geance. The lap-stealing stunt Of the
Martin Ryan-Gus Wohlrab team,
which put that combination on even
terms with the leaders, stirred the
fans at the Garden last night to a
high pitch of excitement. There was
no fiuke as to the stealing of the lap.
Both Wohlrab, who started off by
gaining half a. lap, and Ryan, who
finished with a Sensational burst of
speed, circled the field as clean as the
proverbial whistle. That they had
the stuff was apparent soon after one
of !. the greatest Jams of the big
event had come to a halt. Through
out the night the teams kept plug
ging away at the former figures. At
3 O'clock this morning the last of the
Kramer Moran records of 1872, went
sliding. At that time the pedal
pushers had wheeled around the
saucer just 1877 times since l minute
after II o'clock Sunday. They were
nine miles and five laps ahead of the
record of Kramer and Moran, which
was made in 1912.
Piercey and Dupuy New Team.
The forming of new combination
and the elimination of another team
followed as a result of the wild riding
Charles Piercey and Frank Cavanagh
withdrew as q team, as did Sores and
Dupuy. According to the reports
from the camp, Cavanagn has not
tasted a bit of solid fooG since the
race began. His stomach is in a bad
way, and it Is clearly evident that he
is riding on his nerve. fhe team
dropped five laps last night In the big
sprint. Piercy and Dupuy then COM
bined as a team.
Brotherly love is about the only
thing that Is keeping together the
Bedell and Bedell team. Menus Be-
dels stomach has gone back on him
and he complains that he Is too
tired to keep going. His brother
eIohn, however, Is riding a strong
race, and it is for John more than
anything else that Menus is sticking
10 the game. There was some talk
OF the Withdrawing of Anderson and
placing John Bedell and Worth Nit
ten as team. The only thing that
is blocking this proposition is the fact
that Anderson, Mitten's partner, be-
heves that he will be able to come
around to true form. Should Ander-
son decide to withdraw John Bedell
and Worth Mitten will work as a
team.
Kaiser Always willing.
Practically all of the first division
teams looked good last night There
was a time when Moran and Nc
Nav 1x.S& 800
both riders managed to pull through
the night without any material loss.
During the big Jam Moran and Nc
Namara made an apparent bad pick
up, but the judges failed to take any
action. Probably the greatest sur
prise of the race so far Is tho show
ing of the Kaiser-C Cameron team.
Kaiser, who won the amateur title
this year, is up there battling with
the big fellows, and the Bronx boy Is
always willing to mix. Whether it
is Grenda, Goullet, Clark, Mcnamara
tor. Fogler in the lead when primes
are offered, Kaiser will be found Civ
ing battle when he has the slightest
chance of figuring. 1t Is this kind of
work that is bringing for him the
applause from the crowd time and
again. Not once last night did the
Cameron Kaiser team look bad. The
boys are not trying to gain any laps,
and both are content to watch the
big fellows closely all the way. The
team will probably feel the effects of
. the hard work by Thursday, but
judging from their ability displayed
so far, it is not believed the Manhat-
tan lads will be left in the lurch.
Widest Kind of Sprinting.
Those who went to the Garden last
night saw some of the widest kind
of sprinting. The real mixing came
soon after a prize of 5000 had been
put up shortly after midnight by
wealthy Frenchman who occupied
one of the boxes. This was the
largest amount Of currency put up
for one-mile sprint during the
grind. Goullet captured the money,
as predicted before the start at 1915
o'clock. Goullet might of had hard
time of 1t, but as it was Jackie Clark,
who started with the intention of
putting up a fight, let down on the
Fourth avenue embankment and
Goullet sailed over the line an easy
winner Previous to this prize an
other $500, at $40 lot, caused the
riders to do some hard sprinting. At
practically every mile, for twenty
miles, there was a fight for part
of the Rudolph Stakes" The teams
let and Grenda carried off the bulk
of the money. Goullet and Grenda
won six times, while Mcnamara was
$50 to the good at the finish. Pete
Drobach captured three and liver
Lawson two. Walthour and Hal
stead each won $40, and Martin Ryan
was on hand for ten simoleons.
Bobby Walthour was cheered again
and again as he led the fed over
40 - knn lftf
lost any of his old-time popularity
with the crowd.
Egg Starts jam"
About 1890 o'clock, when the fans
were about to settle back for nap,
believing. of course, that after the
sprinting for the prime money there
would be nothing further for some
time at least, there occurred the UNI
expected, developing into as wild
ride as any rabid fan would wish to
see. Oscar Egg, who since the race
began has been content in keeping
tabs on the leaders, got busy on the
Madison avenue turn and shot away
q for a big lead on the Twenty sixth
Il street side OF the building. McNa-
mara. who made an apparent bad
pickup of Jimmy Moran, set sail for
Egg. who was relieved by Verri. The
latter kept up the Jam started by
his partner with Mcnamara close at
his back wheel. Mcnamara got by
Verri, but made no attemp. to go out
and was brought back by Grenda.
& BY this time the Garden was in an
uproar. Trainers had their riders
mounted alongside the training
camps and reliefs were taking place
avery mir, lie. At one time every
rider was on the track. When things
had ouieted for few seconds Oscar
Egg agi.in went out, but his sprint
.khis time was short-lived. Walthour.
