With Hill Out Owing to Injury
ALI Rides Alone in Try
ing Test.
MIx-UP AT THE FINISH
Some of the Fans Fail to GRASP
Situation Because of Sys-
tenn Used.

Riding alone during the last eighteen
minutes, Alfred Goullet who was
paired with Freddy Hill In the six
day. sixty-hour race, which came to
a close Saturday night at the First
regiment Armory, gave one of the
sFeatest exhibitions of gameness ever
seen on bike track the world over.

almost continuous sprinting into
eighteen sprints. During the eighth
sprint Hill fractured his collarbone,

and 1t was up to Goullet to go the rest
OF the distance alone. Goulet not
only rode, but he fought the other
riders at the finish of each sprint.
Bobby Walthour and Frank Cava-
nagh managed to gain a lap on the
held just after the fifteenth print.
Soullet was willing to go after the
pair, but he could not do it alone, and
IL was apparent that there was no
nelp coming from the other riders.
Goullet, however, had big lead in
the points and he finished second dur
ing the last three sprints.
Goullet's victory was not appreciat-
I'D by some of the crowd, who booed
Inc announcement and kept up such a
yell of disapproval that it was impos-
sible for Larry Corbett to announce
he way the riders finished. The
crowd was divided in its opinion of
The verdict. Most of those who were
d1spleased because of the fact that
Goullet and Hill won probably did nor
understand the rules of the last hour
OF racing. There were many who
favored the Walthour-C avanagh
team, which gained a lap.
There were all kinds of work crowd
ed into the last hour. The little team
OF Kaiser and Carman, which was
formed on the third night, after an
accident had put both of their part
ners out of it, finished second, and the
Walker and Wohlrab combination was
placed third.
Goullet and Hill tailed 102 points
during the eighteen sprints. OF these
Goullet scored 80. The team of Kali
ser and Carman finished second with
SO points, while Wohlrab and Walker
was third with so points. Scoring SO
points, the Cavanagh and Walthour
team finished one point ahead of
he Moran and Drobach combination
for fourth position. Spears and CORY
were sixth and Linart and Dupuy
seventh.
Scorers Kept Busy.
The scorers had job on their hands
soon after the seventh sprint, which
was won by Goullet. The riders were
strung all over the track and IL was
difficult to tell the rider representing
his team. At one time both Wal
thour and Cavanagh were chasing
one another. This wild state of af-
fairs had the crowd In the air as
we'll as the riders. Poor plckups were
made and in the early part of the race
here was lot of switching done.
This switching proved the undoing
Of Fred Hill, who went down with
Cory, Moran and Cavanagh. OF the.
riders who went down Hill seemed
nurt the most. He has a broken col
larbone and after the race was taken
to the City Hospital. 1t was believed
he had conclusion of the brain at
the time he left the track. Hill was
able to leave the hospital yesterday
morning. Moran also was injured,
having his shoulder thrown out of
place. The Chelsea rider however,
and was still the same old
bear cat" as of old, injured shoulder
and all.
The sprinting was too much for
the Dupuy-Linart team, which re-
tired with twenty-one points on the
ninth round. Linart managed to win
one sprint but that was when the
accident occurred on the last lap of
the sixth sprint.
During the afternoon and early
part of the night there were a few
sprints made by the Fogler- Verri and
Root and Lawson teams, but they
failed to bring any change in the
standing of the leading seven teams.
For the sixty hours Goullet and Hill
covered 1919 miles and laps, being
eight miles and nine laps behind the
record made by Kramer and Fem at
